Actually had Stephens but Urban has taken over b/c I guess Stephens won't be teaching Patho anymore(?) But she's very nice and a good teacher. She is reading off of Stephens power point so not quite sure how she will run her own class. But I recommend!

Great professor! Highly recommend her for patho. She gives you notes to print out and all you have to do is fill in blanks. Her tests come directly from her notes. You DO NOT need the book!! She will tell you that herself too. Easy class as long as you study your notes and go to lecture. She does record lecture incase you miss.

THIS IS A NURSING CLASS, PATHO. ONE OF THE FOUNDATION CLASSES FOR NURSING. URBAN IS A GREAT TEACHER, THIS CLASS IS NOT A CAKE-WALK. YOU MUST MEMORIZE A LOT OF INFOMATION, BUT IT IS ALL PROVIDED ON THE LECTURE NOTES. RE-LISTEN TO THE PODCAST & MEMORIZE ALL THE NOTES AND YOU CAN MAKE AN A. I HAD A 98 AVERAGE BUT I STUDIED A LOT!

Just study the notes, do the quizzes, & make sure to answer the case studies at the end of each section of notes; they definitely help!

Mrs. Urban is a wonderful professor.

Professor Regina Urban is one of the most awesome professor at UTA. I love her lectures. She have an intensive knowledge on the subject and she is willing to help her students to succeed on the class. Ask her whenever you don't get the concept. Patho is one of the basic foundations of nursing, so expect to work hard and study. It's doable though!

Mrs U is easy. Basically if you find this hard nursing is not for you. I've decided on medicine instead but this class is definitely a good one. It will introduce you to various conditions which you will run into whether nurse, doc, or pa. If you score below an 85 I suggest you reconsider your path.

She's a great professor. Super helpful, really nice,knowledgable,but the class is tough. She wants you to pass. Don't take this class w/ anything else, Bc you need to dedicate all of your time, energy in this class to pass. Hardest class at UTA RN-BSN.

Nice as a person, horrible as a professor. Why did we have to pay for a online course where the professor literally only reads slides to you. She doesn't even know the material she's teaching.

Dr Urban is the most organized professor I have ever had. She is up front about grading (UTA policy, not hers), she is caring, and extremely knowledgeable. All the information you could need for the exams and assessments come from the PRE-MADE notes. Understand and apply the material A in class.

If there is another instructor available take them. Her only "solution" to struggling students is to have them drop. One failing exam WILL cause you to fall behind and/or fail

Dr. Urban is a straight forward professor. She gives you everything you need to pass the tests/course in the RDRs. Be sure you do study the material in a timely manner because it is quite a bit. Final is comprehensive but as long as you study and ensure you understand how everything works together you'll be fine. DO NOT procrastinate!!

The class is not easy but its not hard. If you have a good background of A&P, manage your time, read her lecture notes, watch her videos and take advantage of her preps/concept map. She will have you prepared for this class, you just have to give your best effort. Shes an amazing teacher & I wish there were more like her. Shes the absolute best

Patho with Dr. Urban and the coaches was amazing, by the time you are done with her class you will appreciate and respect the medical field. The amount of knowledge you receive is phenomenal. I feel very blessed to have taken her class. READ the notes, read the prep notes, watch the lecture videos, do the case studies. You will need it for nursing.

Urban was very strict on the policy, make one little mistake and she counts off points. Overall, not an amazing professor, but not a bad one. Read the documents she gives you and it's straight forward, honestly dont need her to be teaching the course, just give us the reading documents

This is definitely a hard class, so be ready to put all your time and effort into this class. To do well in this class you need to know her RRDs front to back. One exam can & WILL ruin your grade so be careful. I couldve had an A but messed up badly on the third exam (hardest one) and ended up with an 89.47. Study hard and you will do fine.

I absolutely would not recommend this professor. In regard to the class work it does require you to study, however the professor and assistants are very negative. They do not encourage the students and actually make the students feel as if successful is unattainable if you do not do well on the first exam. Dr. Regina Urban is very insensitive.

Dr. Urban is amazing! This was a challenge but if you take advantage of ALL her resources youll be fine. Try to do well on each exam so the final can feel less intense. I average As on her exams & needed a low C to keep my A. Her online office hours were definitely helpful before exams. Repetition of material and consistency when studying is key

The professor gives you all the information you need for Patho. Study the RRDs, and quizzes. For me the quizzes were very helpful. You MUST study a few hours each day. I failed 2 exams and still passed the class. 4 EXAMS (45 QUESTIONS) 68 MIN, 1 FINAL(72 QUESTIONS) , AND 12 QUIZZES.

Took her when covid-19 shut down the university. So I had experienced online and in-person lectures/tests. I preferred the in-person lecture bc of test-taking environment and there was less of a chance being taken points away for small things or wifi issues. Her lectures were already recorded and posted on canvas to review for the whole semester.

Loved the organization, feedback, and additional resources from Dr. Urban! As long as you study (read and read RRDs & concept maps), do the case studies, and explain to yourself why the answer choices are wrong for each question on the assignment. After this, you'll do great. Dont fall behind - study one topic EVERY WEEK.

Assignments and quizzes do not prepare you for the exam; exams have questions that look for the 'most right' answer so if you are analytical, you probably won't do well. 75% of her notes are useless. Biggest issue, she doesn't let you see your exam results so you can't review topics that you missed; it's actually the worst class I've ever taken

she gives lots of information in her notes and organizes them in ways that confused me. there were so man arrows that I didn't know where to look at times. she also constantly reminds the class of how the test grades are typically low, leaving you feeling hopeless. while its possible to pass this class and do well, she makes you feel like you cant.

This class definitely is no walk in the park. Initially, I dropped but I changed my study habits and starting doing way better. This class is lecture heavy and you will have to read ALOT. Memorizing is not enough in this class, you have to learn application. Test weight is heavy (90%) other 10% is HW. Case studies and concept maps help!

A phenomenal professor! Absolutely the best! Nursing school is not easy, neither is her class but she surely helps! Her exams are based off of her RRDs. READ THEM RELIGIOUSLY & you will pass! Lowest test grade I made was a B+, the rest were high & mid A's.

The lack of feedback made me question the small amount of knowledge I may have potentially learned from this course. Get ready for super unhelpful lectures recorded by a different professor. A ton of reading. And absolutely no feedback on your performance, so you can't even hope to improve your grade in the future. Come on UTA. You can do better.

I created this account simply to rate this professor's approach to teaching. There are ample amounts of work, readings, & suggested activities to "help" you prepare. IT is all unhelpful as it is not a true depiction of what is expected or clear guideline of what you will be tested or quizzed on. It is all just unhelpful strenuous busy work.

Even though I got an A in the class I wouldn't recommend this instructor to anyone. She will tell you one thing during the "Online Office Hours" and then penalize you for following HER OWN INSTRUCTIONS. The class is quiz heavy, and project heavy. You will take a quiz and be left in the dark on how you were scored and she doesn't go over the quizzes

RACs are 30% of the grade so you have to do well to pass the class. Dr Urban did give points back/throw out questions on each RAC based on how students did. Develop an easy PICO question to make your research paper easier. Do not skip ANY assignments, you will need the points. Hardest class at UTA by far but do the work & you'll be fine.

This was the hardest class I have ever taken!! I came from a nursing program that failed out over half of our class and that was nothing compared to this. Dr Urban is wonderful. She tries to help in anyway she can. There is A TON of reading. Online "office hours" (weekly online Q&A sessions) are invaluable. I would take anything she is teaching!!!

The professor was ok. The class is quite difficult. The Team Meeting done on Sunday's is highly suggested. Modules open on Monday's. The rubric for assignments is vague but the professor explains thoroughly during the Sunday meeting. Allow enough time to complete assignments. Set appt with library online to help find articles
