This is a new teacher at PJC. She is great at explaining the material. Her tests are easy - just study what she ask you to. Do exactly what she asks of you and you will pass the class with an A. Her opportunity for extra credit is a great learning tool. She really reinforces what you need to know in the class. GREAT TEACHER!
She is a great teacher. She leaves nothing a mystery as to what you need to know for her tests. However be sure to study since you can get bogged down in all the info easily, especially toward the end of the class. Also be sure to print out the powerpoints. She just reads off of them and tends to talk kind of fast.
Ms. thrasher has a nasty attitude about everything.
PROS: 1. Her lectures cover all test material. 2. She offers to help with study groups and answers e-mails. 3. Gives bonus questions/assignments for extra points. 4. She is firm but fair in grading. CONS: 1. Talks way too fast to takes good notes. 2. Sometimes she gives wrong info and has to revise, making it harder for us. Overall I liked her
She's a hard cookie. But if you study and do all your work, as well as extra credits, you're sure to pass this class.
Great teacher, she is very clear on what she expects. Zoology is a hard class but she is more than fair with all of her students and is willing to work with them.
Great teacher! Very clear in what is required of you, very clear as to what's on the tests, gives extra credit. You will do well if you study and she has GREAT Powerpoint Slides! Funny stories! Will NOT put you to sleep like some teachers can...Wish I could take her to all my classes. <3 =^.~=
She is a lot of fun and a very helpful teacher. Will come to study groups to help. Test are hard, but she reviews and lets you know what to study. Also gives out bonus work. She reads from powerpoints and adds stories and comments. Study and you will pass.
Finally a teacher who knows what "Biology for Non-Majors" actually means. Although I hate Biology, I LOVED Ms. Thrasher. There is seriously no way you can do poorly in this class unless you don't study for the tests. Her reviews are EXCELLENT! Tons of extra credit, easy homework assignments, and she is so funny! Definitely take this class!
She's got a great sense of humor. Also, a very thorough teacher. She makes both lab and lecture fun and fulfilling! She's one of the good ones!
My favorite professor EVER. You need to study a lot, but she gives awesome test reviews so if you actually put effort into it, it's pretty easy. The funniest and coolest teacher ever. I wish she could teach all of my classes. Definitely sign up for classes early to get her if you're taking Zoology. :)
I had Mrs. Thrasher for A&P I & II and would HIGHLY recommend her. She's an excellent instructor who will help any student learn! She is dedicated to helping her students succeed. I can not say enough about her. having spent two semesters with her, I truly value the knowledge she shared. : ) Thanks!
great teacher! fun n laid back. must study though or you will fail. tests are of your reviews. MUST pay attention 100% for the reviews to do well. Also great in lab.
Brilliant in ways I can scarcely express. Took a dense, unapproachable topic and made it interesting and intelligible. The book is unneccessary - she works almost entirely from powerpoints. Not an "easy A", but with some effort you'll pass it just fine. My favorite science teacher of all time. HIGHLY recommended.
EXCELLENT TEACHER FOR A&P I. I LOOK FORWARD TO A&P II. YOU DEFINATELY GET YOUR MONEY'S WORTH FROM MRS. TRASHER. SHE GENUINELY CARES ABOUT THE STUDENTS, AND THEIR EDUCATION. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Simply Awesome teacher!! Very good at teaching, lots of extra credit opprtunities. Make sure u do the review for the test and u will be fine. Really cares for her students. Highly recommended.
Excellent at teaching, knows her stuff & applies it very well with teaching. Lots of extra credit opportunities if u in dont miss the class. Best teacher for A&P I, II & Lab. Really cares for her students and awesome lady!! wish she teaches micro and some other classes. Highly recommended...
Absolutely AMAZING teacher! I learned so much from her. She will review with you a couple of days before the test and tell you exactly what you need to study. And as long as you study you should make an A.
Teacher works with students attendance wise. She is very thorough when reviewing for quizzes and exams. If someone doesn't understand something, she'll go over it again. Plus, she's a fun and exciting professor. A++
thrasher is thehottest teacher at pjc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE HER!!! she is so funny and makes evrythng really interesting, ALL her test are multiple choice and super easy(as long as u study) she gave out wrkshts and inclass outlines that she reads off of in class and is exactly wat is on the test, she'll give a quiz for each chptr and then test ovr 4chptrs or so, and the test are the quizes put togthr
she is too cool and very laid back. the content is very specific and can be challenging. there's lots of taxonomy to memorize, but it's very interesting. she teaches from power points that she makes available online. i only did poorly due to my own lack of studying. you have the entire semester to do a project. the A is yours is you want it!
wow. Mrs. Thrasher is an incredible teacher! her zoology class and lab are not "easy A" classes, but she makes it clear what she expects of you. She is very organized and gives good test reviews. I wish she taught all my classes!
I took her for zoo and zoo lab. I aced it. It was awesome. There was alot to know, but it was never anything she hadn't covered.
Absolutely amazing teacher! She cares about her students and will help you in any way she can. Show her respect and she will return respect
She is an great teacher. A&P I and II are hard classes. Ms Thrasher is great at covering required information and applying real life to her teaching. Tough subject! You do have to attend, study, Know the material, but you finish class with excellent knowledge and preparedness for your field. She gives great reviews.I would highly recommend her.
She is an great teacher. A&P I and II are hard classes. Ms Thrasher talks fast, so bring recorder. You do have to attend, study, Know the material, but you finish class with excellent knowledge and preparedness for your field. She gives great reviews.I would highly recommend her.
Mrs. Thrasher was AWESOME! She is very patient and has a great sense of humor. She will challenge, but not overwhelm you. She gave us her phone number on the first day of class, and I have texted her for both help in the class, and personal health problems outside of class; she was very prompt and eager to help. She was the best...
I had her for Ant and Phys 1 and the lab at the same time! She is awesome! She offers alot of bonus, review for the test...Be sure to study! I perfer for ya'll to take her!
Recorder needed! great review. Love this teacher!!!
Awesome teacher. If you are going in the medical field this is the teacher to take don't hesitate.
Mrs. Thrasher is one of the best teachers I have ever had. She is fair, extreamly competent, gives great test reviews, and tells you exactly what is expected of you. I moved my classes to Milton next semester just so I could have her for AP2. It's not an easy class, but if you want to learn something, it's great.
Mrs. Thrasher is absolutely the BEST. I took her over the summer and passed with an A in both lecture & lab Anatomy. Anatomy itself is very difficult but Mrs. T does a wonderful job teaching everything you need to know for that class & some things for AP II. I definitely recommend her. Be sure to print ALL power points & USE Elearning.
Mrs. Thrasher is the best teacher I have ever had! She is funny and really cares about her students. She is always available for any questions. She tests you exactly what she says she is going to on. All her lectures are online and powerpoints. She is very organized.
Mrs. Thrasher is the most amazing teacher anyone could ever ask for. She is VERY nice and helpful with all ur questions. If she taught more courses I would take them all.
Mrs. Thrasher is the most helpful, encouraging, and intriguing teacher I've ever had. She LOVES what she does, and her excitement is contagious. She expects you to learn, but she makes it fun. I drive to Milton 2-3 times a week just to stay in her classes. HIGHLY recommend her for A&P I AND II!
Mrs. Thrasher is the best teacher ever! If you get a chance get her, powerpoints and notes and flashcards are all online. Very helpful, not the easiest class but always super helpful
Mrs Thrasher is the SHNIZNIT! Class is hard, material is extremely hard, but she makes it easier.
Mrs. Thrasher, is a great teacher! I had this class online which is very hard. Her powerpoints are right on key! If you read the material and study the powerpoints you will be fine! Hard class but she was always available and made the overall online experience not so painful!
GREAT TEACHER! I took this class online which is very hard! However, her powerpoints are right on key! She is always available!! Phone or email! She cares about her students,which is rare for an online prof! Read the material and study the powerpoints and you will do fine. This is a hard subject to take online, but she made the experience great!
You won't find a better teacher. Tough but fair. If you really want to succeed, take her.
Honestly...the best teacher I have ever had! She tells you exactly what is expected of you..the subject is hard but, she really does a great job keeping it interesting and giving great examples..she really knows her stuff! She also genuinely cares about her students and goes out of her way to help you..LOVE HER!!
LOVE her!!!! Like seriously best teacher ever! She is a perfect example of what a professor should be like. I enjoy her class all I do is learn and laugh, not many teachers can keep me occupied.
BEST TEACHER EVER! Take her.
Just finished taking her A&Pll class. The material itself was difficult, but she works with you enough to where you understand it, and she gives great examples. She tells it like it is, but she can be very funny.
She is by far the best teacher ever. She is always happy to help, replies to emails fast, keeps your attention the entire time. She makes you work hard, but in a good way. I wouldn't recommend any other teacher!!!
WOW! This teacher is incredible. I am kinda hard on teachers as an adult student. I can promise you that if take Mrs. T you will not only learn the info but she will make it interesting and tie it to real life in a way you remember it. She gives very thorough reviews and is avail anytime for help or clarification. AWESOME!!!
I took AP1 online with Thrasher. Taking AP2 with her in Fall. Hard class but she's WONDERFUL.I'm attending Milton campus just so I can be in her lab class! She clearly states what is expected of you. She is very helpful and available to her students. Her knowledge of the subject is amazing. She is very personable and down to earth! GREAT TEACHER!!
AWESOME TEACHER ! I always heard this class was a hard one but she makes it so easy ! I have a B+ in her lecture and an A in her lab. She is always willing to work with you and gives unexpected extra credit sometimes. I LOVER HER. she's hilarious !
Best teacher ever! I have completely changed my schedule so that I can take her for A&P 2. Driving to Milton is kind of far for me, but I'm willing to do just to be in Mrs. Thrasher's class. I have learned so much. Have to study hard though. She is very willing to help and gives extra credit too.
BEST TEACHER EVER!!! Very knowledgeable and helpful. Made the class fun. Gives real life examples to help tie in material. Definitly worth driving to Milton for her class.
BEST TEACHER IVE EVER HAD!!! Took this class three times with other teachers and didnt pass. Took her and Im glad I drove to another school. She is so laid back, she wants you to understand it and will repeat it over and over til you get it. Professors need to take a lesson on how to teach from her. She wnats to teach that makes her a great teacher
Thrasher is the bomb! for realsies guys, this lady rocks my socks off. hard class, but she makes it fun and interesting. great jokes and stories, tells you what is on the tests/midterms/finals! always happy to help just shoot her a text! i had her for zoo&lab, didnt use the text for lecture at all!dont waste your$. everything is from her powerpts
Mrs.Thrasher is the best! Bring a recorder for the reviews and study them well! A&P I and the lab were easy as long as you come to class and do the work and STUDY!!
I've been attending college off and on for over 10 yrs. I've NEVER had an instructor like Mrs. Thrasher. She makes you want to do better. She's entertaining & knows her stuff. She brings in a huge wealth of real world experience. She & the class is tough, but if you pay attention and ask for help when you need it there is no reason not to do well.
BEST TEACHER EVVEERRR!!! She is very helpful and does everything possible to help you, all you have to do is ask. She will open the labs just for you if you are not getting something. And definetly is funny during class and keeps your attention! She makes you work for your grade but provides lots of helpful material.MUST TAKE HER...TRUST ME!!!
really good
AWESOME teacher!!! I learned SO much after I took her classes. She always had an answer for all my questions too. You are definitely going to have to study, but it's all on the powerpoints. Don't just memorize... know how it works! It makes it a whole lot easier to remember. I'd definitely take another class with her if I had the option! Love her!
Such an awesome professor!!! I really can't say enough good things about her. My only word of advice, ASK QUESTIONS if something isn't crystal clear. Its better to ask "silly" questions but know the material than not ask & look silly when you get your grades back.
dr thrasher was AMAZING. she is the smartest, funniest woman that i've ever met. she has such a passion for her subjects and truly cares about her students. i had a few personal setbacks during the semester, and dr. thrasher was always extremely understanding and compassionate. love her to death!!
I love Mrs Thrasher. She is the most amazing and helpful teacher i have ever had. i was sick and she helped me with catching up, and she also gives her personal cell phone so you can call her when you need help. i used this alot. she is energetic and will help you with everything she has. until she sees you slacking. then you are on your own.
Thrasher is an awesome anatomy teacher who is very passionate about what she teaches. A&p is a very hard subject, but Mrs. Thrasher goes above and beyond to help her students.As long as you study and work hard in her class anyone can make an A or B.
Best teacher ever u really don't need your book she gives you PowerPoints and for her test reviews you will need a voice recorder.. She is not easy but she is a really good teacher she makes anatomy so much fun and you leArn so much more I think..
Mrs. Thrasher has been the absolute best teacher I have ever had at PSC. She is the best teacher to take for Zoology or A&P. She understands what shes doing and is very passionate in it. She not only helped me understand everything in class, she has helped me figure out what to do for future advice. Her class is not easy, you must work hard! :)
Best teacher hands down! She explains things on a level that you can learn and understand. She is willing to help if you need it and very funny, tells stories that apply to what we learn. TAKE HER CLASS!
One of my top favorite teachers I've ever had. I cannot say her class is "easy". You have to study. But she is very helpful to those who put in real effort. She is a wonderful teacher who clearly enjoys what she does. Bring a recorder for her reviews! Don't be afraid to ask her questions. She can seem intimidating, but is actually very helpful.
I LOVED HER. I'm a pre-med major, and I adored her lectures. I'm one to skip classes and teach myself, but hers I actually attended because I enjoyed them. Make a buddy in class, and study hard! She will help you in any way she can, but you must work! Hands-down the best teacher I've had in College thus far. I wish she taught every class.
I took her online A&P I.I She is a great teacher! She posts her video lectures on the elearning site. Her tests and quizzes come completely from power points and the lectures. She also offers extra credit (and it was easy). She grades and responds to emails very quickly. It's a hard class, but if you study an "A" is very obtainable.
I took Mrs. Thrasher for 1094L. She's awesome! Her labs are interesting and she gives opportunities for extra credit. Quizzes every week from the power points - fill in the blank, so be prepared. But that really helped me feel ready for the exams. She posts all labs on Youtube. Grades everthing in class. Easy "A" if you study.
I took Thrashers Zoology class this semester. And i would definitely reccomend her to anybody. This class is hard, but it is worth it. I learned so much from her, MAKE SURE YOU STUDY. And that you attend every class period or you will be lost! You have a test or quiz each class period, but if you study you will do fine.
The best college professor I have ever had, hands down. She cares about her students and will do anything to help. The material you are learning is hard, but with her reviews... if you study, you will get an A. I wish she taught every subject! She has motivated me to be a good student and helped me re-achieve confidence in my school-work.
Mrs. Thrasher is the best teacher I have ever had! She is very helpful with her students , but you have to study for her exams. She gives reviews prior the tests. Her class is very interesting.I definitely recommend her.
Anatomy & Physiology is an intimidating subject on its own, but Ms. Thrasher made it very interesting and helped me to fall in love w/ the subject. She's awesome and so is the text book; it's a keeper. Hard subject, great instructor.
Ms Thrasher is the best. I am usually a C student in science but I made an A. A&P is a hard subject but she is a really great instructor. I highly recommend her and am taking A&PII over the summer with her!!! Great instuctor!!!
Thrasher should be spelled A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!! I made a C in my AP1 class from another instructor who was not clear at all! I was very nervous about entering AP2, but Thrasher made it fun, interesting and easy to understand!!! Not mandatory to attend class, but YOU are responsible for making good grades!!!
Mrs. Thrasher is the best teacher I had ever been taught by. The material was intense and hard but she certainly knows how to teach with strict guidelines and yet leniency with common sense. She knew how to keep students interested and was professional in her career. I wish there were more teachers like her! She's defines who a teacher should be.
Shes the bomb!!!
I never go on here to rate my professors, but Mrs. Thrasher totally deserves it. She is by far the best teacher there is at PSC. She helps you with anything you need and is very happy to do so. Her tests are only difficult if you don't study, but if you do they are a breeze. I highly recommend her, she is the BEST<3
Rita Thrasher is a highly skilled professor. She makes learning an ease. I would reccomend this class to anyone. I was nervous about this class because I had never taken an online course before. As I soon learned my fears were unfounded. FIVE GOLD STARS!!!
Hands down the best teacher at PSC.
Miss Thrasher is the best teacher I have had so far at Pensacola State. I had work and was very busy but her quizzes every week were helpful reminders to study. She also gave them back to us for good study guides. She is very direct and to the point about whether you need to know something or not. Very Helpful. TAKE HER CLASS!
Such a great Teacher...with a capital 'T'... Not a lot of people actually have a gift of "teaching", but she does. She knows what she is teaching like the back of her hand. She explains things well enough so an idiot like me can understand them. The material is def. hard...Not an easy 'A' but def. attainable if you study.
Awesome all around teacher! Not an easy class but she goes over everything and helps you whenever she can. I highly recommend. Try and take any of her classes.
EXCELLENT teacher! I would dare say she is the best instructor I have ever had. Thrasher is personable, knowledgable and helpful.She should be paid millions for what she does.
Mrs Thrasher is the "A&P Queen" I loved taking her classes wish she was my Micro teacher. There is a lot of material to learn. She mainly focuses on the power points. Test are difficult, but if you study its well worth it.I learned a lot in her class. Mrs Thrasher is the bomb!!!
Rita Thrasher is one of the best teachers that I have ever had. She wants the students to learn and she goes the extra mile. Her lectures on line for me to review more that once has been a great tool to my success. She uses her clinical knowledge to help the students understand and learn the material. I would take more classes with her if I could
excellent instructor with superb resources such as lectures and videos on you tube. great learning experience with real life experiences to add to class materials to enhance retention and understanding and make the class enjoyable.
Best teacher ever, I hate science in general and usually barely pass with a low C in most science class, but because of thrasher's teaching style it allowed students a better way of understanding the materials that were broke down in such manner that we can easily pass with flying colors, I will definitely take her AP2 class. LOVE HER!
I LOVE this professor. She is very helpful, always there within minutes of a question. She offers you a lot of extra credit if you are having any problems with grades. I wish she taught every subject!!
Mrs. Thrasher is by far the best professor I have ever had. She is very thorough & very well-prepared. A&P has difficult subject matter & she gives many different study tools, posts recorded lectures online - gives you every opportunity to be able to absorb. She's also entertaining to listen to & super encouraging to students. Absolutely loved her!
One of the best professors I've ever had, and loved every minute of it. Covers the material very thoroughly and ties it to good, easy examples. Her YouTube videos for lab are AMAZING. Use them if you're wise!!! Went into her course for fun, and coming out wanting to major in the medical field. Cannot wait to take A&P II with her!!!
A&P I covers a lot of complex information, so I had to mark it as a 4 for easiness level. However, Professor Thrasher is a wonderful teacher & made a difficult subject as clear and easy as possible. Her exams are straight-forward and fair. Students with other teachers told me they didn't understand the chapters & were scared of exams.
Amazing teacher, she shows interest in her students and is very helpful in any situation. LOVE!!
She is by far one of the best most dedicated teachers I have met. Her test are difficult, but she prepares you for them. You have to come to class to understand. However, if you have to miss class she has all her lectures on elearning that you can review. My favorite teacher. AP is a hard course,but she will help you if you're willing to learn!
Her power points and lectures are the best I have ever used to study. She does what she cans to help others do well. Online lectures is something I wont do anymore.. lots lost in transition. otherwise, love it
BEST TEACHER EVER! She makes a&p so interesting. She is very understanding towards real life situations and if you need more time before you take an exam or cant make it to class its really no biggie because she will help you out. Don't waste money on a book, just print power points and you will set. Please don't take A&P with any other teacher.
Rita Thrasher is the BEST professor I have had at PSC. A&P1 is a difficult course. There is a lot of information to absorb, there are quizzes every week in lab, and the practical exams require a lot of studying. However, Ms. Thrasher tells you EXACTLY what you need to do to pass and outlines everything for you. Work hard and you will do well!
Thrasher is a great professor. Her lectures are crystal clear, she goes over everything you need to know for the test in the PowerPoints so there are no surprises, and she explains complicated subjects with ease. I will definitely be taking her for A&PII!
Very good teacher! I will definitely be taking her again for A&P II! Her class is challenging but in a good way.. You learn everything you need to know. She makes class interesting.
She is absolutely the best! I don't know what I would've done without her help this semester.
Thrasher is amazing!! You have to study to do well in her classes but she gives you every tool you need to get an A and to study well too! Specific PowerPoints, YouTube videos for her labs, hilarious and detailed lectures, extra credit, and study reviews for each test that are exactly what you are tested on, there are no surprises with her.
Dr. Thrasher is a good teacher. She makes the subject matter interesting and is helpful. She is a teacher that wants you to learn and pass. It is not all about the rules and ego, she does really teach and help you move toward your goal.
Mrs. Thrasher is truly gifted and offers a lot to every student in class. The class is a difficult subject but if you listen to her tips you will make a good grade. You will spend plenty of time studying due to the nature of the course. She is an amazing teacher. Highly recommended!
GREAT! I bombed the first test and she emailed me with study tips. Passed the rest with B's and C's and ended up with an A in the class because I did well on hmwk and quizzes. No surprises on the exams tells you exactly what will be on the tests. Great professor
I took A&P I and A&P II with Professor Thrasher and would take any class I needed with her. She is a great teacher and is easy if you read and complete assignments. The tests are directly from material she teaches and notes. Take any course you can with her, you won't regret it and you will learn a lot.
Mrs. Thrasher is by far the best Professor I have ever had. She actually cares about you. If you ask for help she gives it. Her lectures are amazing and she is super funny, its easier to remember what she teaches because of how she teaches.
She was an amazing teacher who really cares about her students. Attendance is essential to passing, and so is printing out all necessary materials. She is very thorough with her teaching skills. I definitely recommend taking A&P with her as she'll make sure you know everything you need to know.
If you study hard and do the work, you'll do fine. Next to Dr. Urnowey, this is by far the best teacher I have ever had. Puts all lectures on YouTube so you can re-watch them. All homework and quizzes are online and can be done in advance if you choose. **Don't buy the book, everything is done on power point**
Great teacher- must study- All the due dates and grading information were as explained. Powerpoints and online lectures were given which made the class exceptional. She explains everything very well! The textbook is not needed. Outlines for each chapter and final exam were given. Extra credit was also an option. I Highly recommend her!
Absolutely the most amazing instructor I have ever had. She wants to help every single student and really does her best to help you understand lecture. Uses her experience to give examples and makes learning fun. She gives 100% and expects the same from her students.
Mrs. Thrasher is BY far one of the best teachers I have every worked with! Class is fast paced..: be prepared and you can't go wrong!! She is freaking awesome and you can tell that she loves what she does!! I love would take her over and over again!!!! She is awesome!!!! Take her class! You won't regret it!!!
One of the best Teachers ! Great willing to help at any time! Great interesting lectures, powerpoints are easy to understand and remember. Inspire you to study and love the subject. Gives extracredit for doing good for other people, very respectful. Will always take any of her classes to enjoy very positive atmoshere and studying. Recommended!
Mrs. Thrasher is the BEST teacher I've ever had. I was told by many that she was a great teacher and they were definitely right. She made taking the class not only interesting but fun. It was never a time that I didn't want to go to her class. As long as you study her study guides you're guaranteed an A in her class :-)
BEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD EVER!!!!!! She makes you more than a student. She actually cares about you. She Teaches is a way that makes you understand. TAKE HER!! I started taking A & P 1 and had a F with another teacher and Mrs Thrasher I got an A!!! Don't get me wrong you have to study 5 + hours or more a week but she is the best by FAR!
By far the best teacher I have had at PSC! I was very weary coming into an Anatomy and Physiology course after not doing too hot in my chemistry course the semester before but it is amazing the difference a good professor can make. She is upfront about her course being difficult (and it definitely can be) but she really makes the material relatable
Dr. Thrasher Rocks!! Seriously knows what she is talking about!! Is 100% able to break everything down and explain it. She is hilarious and upbeat and she gets so excited about the topics she teaches. If you are a BIO, Nursing , Micro student TAKE HER CLASS!! You won't regret it. She makes learning easy and fun. I wish she taught more of my classes
Mrs. Thrasher is the BEST AP teacher EVER. She keeps the class fun and interesting, very clear and precise. She gives extra credit you will have homeowork and quiz due EVERY WEEK on master learning... No text book needed everything s on powerpoint.. Will take her again!
Professor Thrasher's online lecture and on site lab course is highly recommended. She has recorded powerpoint lectures for her online course which is SO helpful for those who are visual/auditory learners. On site lab was hilarious and super interactive. There aren't a lot of teachers who truly love what they do, and you can tell she is one of them.
I made an hour drive to the Milton campus from Baldwin county just to take her A&P II class and then scheduled my other courses around her Prins of Bio Divs course this semester. She truly cares about her students, knows her subjects VERY well, and is extremely good at explaining things. Her class is only easy because she's such a good professor.
I had Thrasher for lecture & lab for a&p 2 and made an A in both. She's an incredible teacher! She's funny & down to earth which makes learning the material fun. She also offers plenty of extra credit which everything helps in these courses
Class is tough, but she is there for you. Its a lot of lecturing through PowerPoints but you can access them easily on canvas. She gives you reviews to do that contain 200+ questions, but if you finish and submit them by a certain day she will send it corrected for studying. Also for extra credit she does food drives. Overall best teacher ive had.
She is one of the best teachers I have ever had. If you have the chance to take her class, do it! You will not be sorry.
Very nice, easy to talk to, and gives amazing help when you reach out to her. I would not have passed this class without the help of this teacher. Hilarious during labs and makes learning fun. Outside of class she will help you if you need it as well. Couldn't ask for a better professor.
I took Mrs. Thrasher as advised by rate my professors and they didn't lie she's amazing. Along with funny interesting lectures that relates what you learn to the real world. My grandfather had a surgery with complications that she walked me through every part of the process. Just be prepared to put in the work any college level class deserves
Definitely take Mrs. Thrasher for A&P! She is highly educated and is an excellent speaker. She has a lot of very helpful youtube videos for Lab and also holds special study sessions before Lab exams. You do have to study for her class, A&P is a tough subject. She's also very funny which makes lectures better! Gives extra credit.
Mrs. Thrasher was amazing! I took her for both BSC1093/BSC1094 after returning to school yrs out of college. She really goes above and beyond for her students. By far the best instructor I have taken. She does an awesome job preparing students for her tests and gives good feedback. Took her in class for lecture and lab. Willing to help students!
Mrs. Thrasher is easily the best teacher I've ever had. She makes people want to listen to her and she relates everything she talks about to real life situations that make her material easier to understand. She gives tons of extra credit and helps with any questions you may have.
Only thing I can say is awesome teacher ever !!
One of the BEST TEACHERS at Pensacola State. You can't study the day before to pass her test. Do the study guide!! She gives extra credit and truly cares. She is the funniest teacher.
Ms. Thrasher is the best teacher I've ever had!!! The material itself is difficult, but if you listen to what she says and do her study guides its impossible to not receive an A or a B. Treat her with respect, and she will do the same for you. Don't be afraid to ask questions or ask for help. If she sees your trying, she will try to help you.
Extremely knowledgeable, previously worked in the medical field. Uses lots of real-life examples to make the material relevant. She doesn't require the book, just the online "Mastering" access. I got the previous edition of the book for $30 and I feel it helped a lot. Great exam prep. Lab will kill you if you don't study, tons of terms to memorize.
Thrasher was by far one of my favorite professors at PSC! She is very funny! I loved going to her lectures! She doesn't teach from the book so make sure you take notes during her lectures because that's where she get's a lot of her test questions. Gives extra credit but makes you earn it! She gives test reviews before each test that help A LOT!
Thrasher is an excellent teacher, probably one of my favorites at PSC. I took her for both lecture and lab, she gives you exactly what you need to do well on all of her quizzes & tests & does offer bonus points. But you do need to show up to do well! Shes knowledgeable about the subject & does her very best to relate it to real life scenarios.
Rita is an amazing Prof! She keeps labs fun and you really do learn a lot. It is a lot of work so don't take this course for an easy A. Through either a strong memory or tough studying, it is very possible to get an A or B. She gives you a ton of study materials and help but you have to take initiative to utilize it.
Great tacher
Mrs. Thrasher is probably one of the most intelligent and most hilarious people I have ever met. She genuinely wants you to do well. She is extremely fair. With that said, make sure you are ready to actually learn and memorize parts of the body. This class has a huge amount of information. It will be one of the most memorable classes that you take.
By far, best instructor at PSC
A great choice for Prin of Bio! She does 10-11 weekly tests that are due on canvas by Sunday night of that week. They have 10 questions each and easy if you have the powerpoint out while you take them. Gives take home tests sometimes, once she let us take a test with a buddy and open notes. A good lecurer and always open to any questions.
The BEST ANAT professor at PSC! I recommend her to anyone who has to take any anatomy courses. Provides youtube videos for further instruction if you need extra help, always answers emails quickly and genuinely wants to see you succeed. She has a lot of extra credit opportunities and drops your lowest grades. Got an A! Wish I could take her again!
Gives take home tests sometimes. Teaches a lot of material, but makes class engaging. Tests can be tricky, but straight forward enough to figure it out if studied. Don't have to buy the book. Can pass class without showing up, but sitting through her lecture is more fun and goes quicker than reading ppt on your own. Plus, she takes count per policy
Take her AP2 lecture online and the lab in class. SHE IS AWESOME. Print the powerpoints in lab and highlight everything that she says will be on the lab practicals, because this is exactly what will be on them. Lecture online was easy, lockdown browser for exams but there is only 4 and they are relatively easy. Lab is an easy A if you study.
I took Mrs Thrasher when the COVID19 broke out and she was amazing throughout it all, Labs were turned into lectures, shes funny and Made me want to come / listen to her in class. Thrasher is very approachable in and outside of class. Just be prepared to memorize taxonomy. Test / quizzes weekly. But youll learn!!
I took her online class during the time Covid-19 closure. Though this class was already online, she extended due dates and added an extra credit option to help us during these times. Amazing Professor!
She's one of the most amazing professors I've ever had. She is super sweet, super funny, and you can pass with a high A if you do what you're supposed to!
Professor Thrasher was a wonderful professor. She is engaging during her lectures and gave me grace when I missed an exam because of work schedule. She acknowledges that many of us work full time and is very mindful of that when assigning homework and exams. She reminded us of all assignments due every week. I can tell she cares for her students.
Professor thrasher, is MAGIC. She is extremely compassionate and caring about her students. This was my first time in five years back in college and it was online, she was so courteous, her lectures were outstanding, wonderful with emails. Her quizzes, homework, and exams were totally doable. I hope I get to take her for AP 2 w/ lab. Thank you.
Professor Thrasher is absolutely hands down the best professor Ive ever had. Her lectures are a lot of information but she makes them fun and entertaining to learn. She gives amazing tips on how to study that I have carried with me. You have to work to make the grades but with her its fun. Her compassion is inspiring.
Dr. Thrasher is amazing! She is super nice and really wants you to succeed! Her quizzes and tests are super easy, and she offers extra credit. I am so glad I got her as my biology teacher!
Amazing professor! only one homework assignment a week and its not very hard but definitely helps you comprehend the chapter more. Test are very simply as long as you study and listen to lectures.
Easily the best teacher I have had here. I had her online for zoology and in person for the lab portion. The labs were a lot of fun and very enjoyable. She is incredibly passionate about the subject and clearly loves to teach. Would 100% have her again if i could. Content can be challenging but if you pay attention and ask questions youll do fine!
I really enjoyed Professor Thrasher Zoology class. She gives you several quizzes and exams so if you didn't pass a quiz or an exam it's okay you can still make it up. She also gave us extra credit! Another thing that I appreciate about this professor is she emails you in a timely manner and she doesn't mind helping you as well.
For anyone who plans to go into the health care industry, I cannot recommend her classes enough. She is a very knowledgeable professor and will do everything to help you understand the materials. She is also passionate about the course material and this helped me retain more than I thought. Would absolutely recommend her to any taking A&P 1 &2!
Thrasher is an amazing professor. She isnt afraid to have fun in the classroom and she teaches well. She is also understanding about a lot of things.
I took thrasher for A&P w/ lab and she was amazing. Great lecture and records them for later viewing. The labs were super great and she even opened up lab times to study before exams. Wish she also taught micro since she’s so great !
The best online course I've taken. Straight forward lectures, exams, and homework assignments. No extra fluff work to confuse you and your busy schedule. The course is well-paced in a digestible manner.
Very Easy Class if you study the information given, do the homework and complete the labs.
Professor Thrasher was amazing! She would print all our PowerPoints out IN COLOR. She knew the importance of seeing color printed PowerPoints in A&P II. Besides her lectures she also has recorded lectures that are helpful in such a demanding subject. She is laid back and does lectures well. I learned a lot in this class!
This professor truly has online learning down to a science! She makes everything clear, gives time in advance for every assignment, and is clear and detailed about what will be on every test/what to study for. I wish I could take more classes with this professor
I highly recommend this professor. She is very caring and helps simplify a very complex subject. Which in Anatomy you will absolutely appreciate.
Gives many different options for learning in her resources. Is ALWAYS available. Cares. Super understanding and relatable. Gives test reviews that are accurate! Lots of extra credit opportunities. Does not use proctorio.
Prof. Thrasher is an amazing passionate professor. She is intelligent, extremely knowledgeable and enjoys what she teaches. She accommodates for all students and different learning styles. Prof. Thrasher also gives you extra credit opportunities. Do the work and you'll do well.
Prof. Thrasher is an excellent instructor. I had her M-W and she was able to sum it up on Monday, so most times there was no class on Wednesday. Quizzes/Exams are open note. She can be pretty funny and she explains topics easily. Would definitely take it again.
Prof. Thrasher is an excellent instructor. The lab class was pretty straightforward and pretty interesting. Dissections were my favorite. Quizzes/Exams are open note. She can be pretty funny and she explains topics easily. Would definitely take it again.
Great teacher to take online! Had really good lectures to follow and take notes on, plus they were entertaining and kept me hooked the whole time. Homework was super easy for every chapter. Wish I could take her again!
She is the best! She provides a lot of resources to help study and really cares for her students.
Overall, I highly recommend taking a course with Mrs.Thrasher if you get the chance. You will not only gain a deeper understanding of the subject but also enjoy the learning process.
Professor Thrasher is an amazing, caring instructor who simplifies complex topics. Her teaching style works well, and she provides lots of resources. I found unstuckstudy helpful for preparing too. Definitely take this class if you can!
She is the best!
She was amazing and made sure you understood everything
Love Professor Thrasher although I unfortunately never got to meet her since I'm taking online courses @ Unity. I thank her for being strict with APA format citing because if it wasn't for her, I'd not push myself to even care to do it correctly (I now have it memorized)!
She's extremely understanding with personal situations, and is always available when you need her. The class is very lecture heavy and all of them are pre recorded. Sometimes she'll have 6 videos in one week and they'll all be 20 minutes to an hour long. I'm unsure why she doesn't just make one big video but as long as you take notes you'll be ok
