I had Dr. Cravo for Anatomy & Physiology I and I highly recommend her. She is by far one of the best professors I have ever had. I looked forward to every class and it was because of her! She has an amazing attitude and she genuinely cares about her students. She wants you to succeed and she provides you with the tools necessary to be successful!
Dr. Cravo is a great professor. Anatomy and physiology is a difficult course, but Cravo explains everything in such detail that it makes the tougher material more clear-cut. If you ever need any help at all she is always willing to be available at any time. And she's a great person! Take her for A&P!
very personable professor! Doesn't grade assignments right away but is a fair grader
Cravo was wonderful. Enjoyed her class, had her for lab.
I had Professor Cravo for A&P 2401 lab. This class requires a lot of memorization. Whatever Professor Cravo gives on her test you'll find the answer in her power points. So study. She's makes herself available to students who needs help. I would take her class again.
Dr. Cravo takes a difficult and multifaceted subject and hand feeds it to you in a linear and coherent way. I wish I could take her for all of my science classes, she's amazing. Show up to class, she tells you how to study, she utilizes mastering - it's hard not to make an A
Dr. Cravo is an amazing teacher. I took her for Lecture and Lab. She really works with the students and she gives out hints for whats on the test. Her tests are not hard but you do have to work for it since it is a college level class. I highly recommend her. She is from Brazil so she has an accent. but it is easy to understand her. LOVE HER!
Professor Cravo is really good! She explains everything in detail and expects you to be prepared for class! I would take her class again!
Professor Cravo is one of my favorites. Her class isn't easy, but you will really learn the material. If you are going into nursing, I would highly recommend her. She is always available to help, and very personable.
Dr. Cravo is probably the best A&P professor at Collin College! You will really learn the material and she answers questions so thoroughly. She is amazing and you definitely won't regret taking her class!
Love her! She even helped me with ANP 2 even though i had another prof. Gives great reviews. Take for lecture and lab it will help. Classes fill up quick, register early. I would take her for every science class if I could! Show up for class, listen and do the work... guaranteed A! Great notes, i did not purchase the book, mastering only.
TAKE HER. The materials tough but she helps make it a lot easier. Took lecture and lab. Uses lots of pictures and models to help you understand. Gives lots of good resources to help study. Useful study guides. Slight accent but easy to understand. Lecture-4 exams&online quizzes. Lab-3 practicals&2 group lab reports. Fair grader. Very upbeat & fun!!
Amazing professor. I was terrified of taking a class this hard, but she really gives you all the tools and helps you do great. The class isn't easy so make sure you STUDY a lot. Questions for tests come from a combination of the book, power points, and mastering questions. Also visiting the since room helps with lab.
She is a great professor she makes sure you understand things you need for the exams, A&P is a very difficult class but she makes it easier to understand. she is always available in her office hours which is great!! took 2401 and 2402 with her she is the BEST!
Awesome professor! I took a not so good lab prof so I won't be taking her because her A&P2 is corresponded with his lab class. She gives good real world examples and her tests are clear cut to what she teaches. TAKE HER!
Great professor! Took her for both lab and lecture. She is always there to help you. For lecture, there are 4 tests which she gives study guides for and 10 online quizzes. For lab, there are 3 lab practicals, 10 quizzes, and 2 lab reports. She is willing to help as much as she can with the lab reports which helps a lot!!
Took her for both lecture & lab is very helpful, if you don't understand something just ask and she will help you:) She provides reviews for every practical and lecture test Lectures sometimes seem repetitive to what you will hear again for another 2 hours in her lab but repetition is key! Tests are not what you expect overall wants you to succeed
Cravo is amazing! This class is difficult period but Professor Cravo breaks everything down to where you understand it. If you study and work hard enough you can get a good grade.
She is a newer professor that has a great background in the field. However her excitement for the material overpowers her ability to teach the material. She needs to learn how to teach and make the classroom less intimidating and more open for the students to learn instead of moving along with excitement. Good? Good? Good? Everyone Good? Good!!
Dr. Cravo is awesome! She will take the time to explain and is always available to help! If you don't understand something, ASK!! The material is hard and you will need to study a lot!! Just showing up for class is not enough! Quizzes are easier. Lecture tests have critical thinking questions.
Dr. Cravo is a great person to be around but her teaching skill lack. The transfer of knowledge from the teacher to the student is why I go to school. Anyone can read powerpoints. She understands everything but fails when it comes to putting things in ways for the students to understand. For this , I cannot recommend her as a professor.
She talks and teaches way to fast. She mispronounces and misspells words and expects for you to use correct spelling on her test! She grades really hard. You never get your quizzes back to see what you missed. I really wish I had never signed up for her class.
I expected the course to be challenging and hard but this prof takes off for spelling when a lot of her power points are misspelled. Sometimes hard to understand what she's saying as she still has not mastered the English language. It's hard to get an idea of what you need to improve on when you never get any of your reports or quizzes back.
Dr. Cravo is an amazing professor! She is very knowledgeable and helpful. She wants her students to succeed. She has office hours and willing to help including the lab report. She provides tons of tools on the very first day to help you to make an A. Her lab quiz prepare you for the practical. She is also approachable. I highly recommend her.
Her expectations were way to high. If you take this class, I recommend you take it alone. This class is very time consuming with tons of information to learn at a very fast past!
I took Dr. Cravo for A&PI and A&PII. And I would take her again! And again! She is a great teacher and she is always available to help! The course is not easy, so be prepared to study! She even offered extra review sessions to help us! All lecture tests are multiple choice. Quizzes are online. She DOES NOT takes points off for spelling.
She DEFINITELY takes off for spelling! She stresses that in her lab class!
An A is not impossible to achieve in her class, however I highly encourage to take this class alone because you will need to STUDY EVERYDAY! There's no time to breathe in between while studying for lecture exam, lab practical/quizzes, and writing a lab report. She is really passionate about the subject which can be overwhelming at times.
If you really want to learn A&P, take her. If you just want to show up and get an easy A, find another professor! She will make you work hard for your grade, but that is the kind of professor that you want if you are going into the Nursing Program! She is always available to help! This is a hard class, but you she will guide you!!
I only had her for lab. Really knows what she's talking about, always open to questions and will individually show you all of the structures on models, has clear pp's. She'll drop 2 quizzes and give an EC opportunity to add another quiz grade. Practicals are hard only because the labels on the models are worn off (but that's not her fault)
Had her for A&P 1. DO NOT TAKE FOR A&P 2. she will destroy you and your GPA. she's a tough grader but has good charisma. speaks VERY fast! Also super harsh grader on lab reports. Lecture exams aren't that easy. Great lab instructor (just study the minimal requirements).
I LOVED Professor Cravo! This class is incredibly hard but she's willing to work with you and make sure you understand everything. She does talk a bit fast, but all you have to do is tell her to slow down. She's so sweet and funny and you can tell she's very passionate about what she does. I'd recommend her to anyone!
Professor Cravo is the BEST professor I could have for anatomy! She does have an accent, but its not hard to understand her. She is very passionate and excited about biology that she will start talking a little fast, but just ask her to slow down and she will. (she knows she gets excited) You have to put in the work to get an A but IT IS POSSIBLE.
Professor Cravo is one of the best teachers i have ever had. I would recommend her to anyone. you can tell she is very passionate about her job!
Professor Cravo is AWESOME and makes her class fun. I wish she was available for summer A & P II. She is very passionate and she knows the material. She does talk fast, but will go over what you ask her to and she often stops to ask if you understand. I would recommend her
Gives xtra cred opps. Grade depends on lec exams but, never know what exactly is on exam, forced to study EVERYTHING! Very tuff grader on the lab reports, even in perfect APA format. Absolutely love this instructors' lectures! I don't like to be spoonfed the material but still, the material is just not narrowed in enuf 2 focus on what is important.
Dr. Cravo is the best, most understandable anatomy professor in the Collin College system! I took her for A&P I and A&P 2 and compared to Brown or Fanini, she's teacher you wanna take. For the tests, to get the best results, do the practice tests in the study area, aside from the usual studying! If you wanna get an A, take Cravo you guys.
Loved this class- A&P is intimidating but she made lectures interesting and gives you all the resources to get an A (I dont think theres anyway to get around studying a lot for this class). Provides study guides and doesnt try to trick you on exams. Tons of quizzes, tests and other assignments so if you mess up on one, plenty of room to recover
Easily one of the best professors I've ever had - she's definitely tough, but she goes out of her way to make concepts understandable and relatable. I took her for both lecture and lab in 2401 and again for 2402 lecture (her lab didn't fit with my schedule, but I definitely missed having her!). Very accessible outside of class and eager to help.
Dr. Cravo is amazing. I loved her so much!! A&P is a scary thing but she makes it easy. She lets you know what is going to be on the exam or practicals and gives you extra credit. She explains things clearly. She is an extremely tough grader on lab reports though. Makes herself available for consultation, really wants her students to succeed.
By far the best teacher I have ever had. Dr. Cravo makes this class a lot easier to understand, and she truly cares about her students. Anatomy is hard, but take advantage of her office hours and ask questions. Her test are very straightforward and she clearly covers everything so you are well prepared. I HIGHLY recommend taking her.
Took Cravo for A&P 1 & 2,WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Super nice, is always willing to help, and really cares for the subject and students. Regularly have quizzes and tests come from her power points that she makes available so attendance is optional. Attended half of classes and still made high grade although the difficulty reflects a science course.
This class was incredibly hard for me but she is a great professor and provides you with everything you could possibly need. If you put in the work and STUDY you will do just fine!
Dr. Cravo is an amazing professor! She tells you what you need to know/remember for AP2 and most importantly she reads the room. If she sees a lot of blank looks, she explains the information in a different way. So important in any science class but especially in AP. My only complaint is that I couldn't get into her AP2 class as it filled up fast
I loved taking her class! The class itself is hard but she made it so much easier. She does not take attendance but if you dont show up you probably wont do well. She has a Brazilian accent but is not hard to understand. She makes concepts easy to understand and uses great examples to explain things. One of my favorite teachers!
AMAZING professor. I would highly recommend her. She helps you and demonstrates terms so you understand it. She makes clear criteria/ study guides for every quiz and test. The tests and quizzes are almost exactly the same as the study guides. Simply do your part (read and study) and the grade will show. If I could take more classes with her I would
Very sweet professor who cares for her students. Gives many extra credit opportunities. If you are confused she was will stop and help you understand in explaining things differently. If you're an honor student I would definitely suggest taking her for honors. It's really nice because you can work in groups. Definitely need to study a lot for an A.
Professor Cravo is the most amazing professor I've had, so far. I took both of her 2401 and 2402 Honors Class. She makes such a tough subject so easy! She gives a lot of extra credits and is very flexible with quizzes and homework schedules (as long as the whole class agrees with it). She would also make time for you even outside her office hours!
do not take her!!
A&P(online)sounds scary but Cravo made a hard class easy to understand. I recommend Cravo if you are taking A&P, she didnt make it confusing or intimidating. Dont get me wrong, I took this class w no job and no kids and it was still hard. I recommend taking this class when you have a lot of free time for studying, Im talking weeks of studying!
This class will consume most of your study time. A lot of assignments and memorization. She provides a lot of resources, but you basically self-teach. Unaccommodating to extenuating circumstances, even during COVID-19, however, I heard she was more sympathetic before the pandemic.
content heavy, lots of HW, most of them are quizzes on which you don't get more than 1 attempt. written HWs don't have a rubric so it's hard to understand what she wants. yes extra credit, not that helpful for your grade. exam questions were from the PPTs and HWs. Start studying for muscles and bones right after lab exam 2. SA/MCQ on exams.
DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS!!!!! i think she makes up her own pp. Very difficult to understand. She pronounces terms incorrectly. She reads the pp but doesn't offer any suggestions or examples. Does not use material that is 1000x different than other professors, hers are hard to understand, almost intentionally. You will be sad if you take her.
Dr. Cravo 100% cares about her students, always takes time to explain & is available outside class/responds quickly. A&P pre-req for nursing & other medical degrees. If you don't come to class prepared, complete readings, & plan to self study you have unrealistic expectations. Take her if you want to LEARN & SUCCEED! Makes learning fun: THE BEST
Dr. Cravo has been the best professor I've had. A&P is NOT an easy class, but she gives you everything you need to succeed. She is accessible via email, office hours, and has stayed after class to make sure we fully understand each concept. She tailors her lectures to cover what will be on the tests and offers GREAT reviews! She's funny and caring!
Though Dr. Cravo was a nice person, easily accessible during office hours, her lectures and exams were extremely conflicting. The material covered in PP were brief and did not prepare one for her exams. Reading the textbook barely helped, so outside material was always consulted. Points were deducted hugely if your eyes moved during exams.
Taken Spring 2021. Professor Cravo provided us with ample opportunities to succeed. She is engaging during in-person lectures and provides us with Pearson study resources as well as her own recorded videos over the textbook. We did a lot of group activities and games to help us learn the material. Highly recommend her in-person class!
I had her for both 2401 and 2402. I loved her classes! Her lectures helped me so much. A&P will never be an easy class, but she made it easy to succeed. She is always willing to help. Very caring and accessible. Willing to host extra review sessions via Zoom. Take advantage of her reviews! And I highly recommend her Honors classes if available!
Dr. Cravo is a very kind professor who teaches by using real life scenarios. Her teaching and power points are straight to the point and her class environment is very comfortable. I was not afraid to ask questions at all and she frequently gave extra credit and dropped two quiz grades at the end of the semester. Would take her again if I could.
Definitely take her. She's an amazing professor and really sweet and understanding! You will get the A as long as you study. She is always there to help you.
Dr. Cravo is one of the best. I had her for both AP1 and AP2. She's very sweet and understanding. I can tell she's passionate about teaching and always willing to help whenever you needed help. I would take her again if I could even if I have to travel far and get up early. I highly recommend her and her honors class. :)
I loved A&P with Dr. Cravo, if her A&P 2 class wasn't already full I would 100% take her again. She answers all questions clearly, prepares us for exams, posts all of her slides online and is super organized. She also offers extra credit and drops some grades. Take her if you can!!
Professor Cravo is a caring professor. She is really good with the students and cares about their learning experience. She is also passionate about her profession which helps a lot in relaying the knowledge to the students.
Dr. Cravo is a great professor. She provides you with all the materials you need to pass. YOU MUST STUDY! It is a lot of material, but she is there to help. I took her for 2401and I have her for 2402. She is passionate about her works, and it shows. Dr. Cravo is one of the best professors I have ever taken.
Dr. Cravo is an amazing professor. She was my very first lecture professor and she made the experience wonderful. Anatomy and physiology is not an easy course, but Cravo made the material comprehensive and understandable. She is a fair grader and gives great feedback. She also gives great advice regarding study habits and course selection.
Dr. Cravo is a great professor to learn from and she had a clear schedule of when assignments, tests, and quizzes were due. She is always willing to answer questions and clarify if you have any confusion on a topic. Her quizzes and tests usually have extra credit. Studying and going to class will better your chances of obtaining a good grade.
TAKE HER CLASS!! AP is not an easy course at all. Dr Cravo is absolutely wonderful though. Work hard, and it'll fly by. She makes the class so much easier and you'll find if you take her lab too, it goes so much smoother. She warns you in the beginning about the workload, and she offers study plans. Go to her office hours too, they help!!
Dr. Cravo was amazing, and I would recommend her for anyone who is taking A&P.
3 lab practicals require full memorization. There are 4 lecture exams, with Lec #1 being the easiest Lec #2 & #3 are the most challenging if you don't study enough, Lec #4 covers just 2 chapters. She's a very tough grader for LECTURE homework & LAB REPORTS. Study hard, and you'll pass :) I recommend her 100%
Dr. Cravo is HANDS DOWN the best professor I've had at Collin. If you are a visual learner, her teaching style will work really well for you. Plus, she cares a ton about her students and helping them to succeed. She is 100% reasonable with grading, tests, and assignments, and will answer any questions you may have.
I had Dr. Cravo for both A&P 1/A&P 2. She was great. The course content is hard, but she teaches really well. She expects you to listen in class, study on your own, and actually learn---not just get by. She knows most students are future healthcare workers, so she treats the class that way. She is definitely the best A&P teacher at Collin College.
Dr. Cravo is a very talented and caring professor. This is a hard class, but she is great at explaining and reviewing confusing material. There are 3 practicals and two papers, along with weekly quizzes. There is extra credit on both the quizzes and the tests which helps. I would totally recommend Dr. Cravo to anyone taking A&P for the first time!!
Dr. Cravo is very sweet and very knowledgeable. A&P is a hard class, but she's genuinely a nice person who wants you to succeed. She's very open during office hours, but you need to study hard. As someone who has taken a lot of the A&P professors, she's one of the best. I found her tests hard personally, but a lot of others did not and made As.
A&P 1 was my first college course in eight years and first science course in ten! I enjoyed her class so much and would take her for 2402 if I could. It's not an easy class by any means, but I am so glad I took it with Dr. Cravo. Show up, study, and she literally provides all the other resources for you to succeed.
She was an AMAZING professor. She made the very complicated class easy to understand. She also made connections which made it easier to remember a lot of the names. This class is a lot of memorization so it's really helpful to have connections to remember the names. If you're taking A&P1 I definitely recommend for sure!
She is a good professor for both Lecture and Lab. I took her for AP1 and she provided an extra credit assignment, she provides so many resources to study (that you don't even know where to start), and she is always available during her office hours. Do take her or Brown because they are good at teaching and can be funny in class. Also, study a lot.
smart, kind, patient, professional, and fun! she does not hesitate to answer any questions. Accessible outside of class. Clear about the test material. Would 100% take her again. reading textbook material and lecture/lab attendance isnt mandatory, but her explanations help A LOT. easily one of the best professors ive had.
She's an awful professor! Her lab quizzes and practicals are the hardest. Lecture is okay but she's not helpful at all. She doesn't give breaks and her lectures are so boring. If you take her be prepared to teach yourself. She doesn't even round your grade even if you are so close. It's a very difficult class and she teaches very fast.
Extremely mean professor. Lecture tests are 75% of your grade. If you fail one it will ending up hurting your grade. Doesn't offer any extra credit. Her labs are extremely hard.
Had her for AP1 during Fall 2024. She is straight to the point, and she will answer any questions you have during office hours and in class. Utilize Ballard's sites for lab, and make sure to read/skim over the slides and textbook before class so you can ask anything you are unsure of. She offers 1-2 extra credit assignments, so make sure to do it.
Had her for both AP1 and AP2. She offers extra credits, drops 2 quizzes and a test for lecture, and drops two quizzes for lab. Read/skim over the textbook and slides before class so you have an idea of what's going to be covered. She is always willing to answer your questions, no matter how stupid it is. She is straight to the point and is fun.
Dr.Cravo is the best A&P professor EVER. Take her for lecture!! Her criteria is concise, she grades quickly, and most importantly, her lectures make very difficult topics so understandable. She's also very kind, and you can tell she really tries to cultivate a relationship with her students. BUT, sign up fast for her as her class fills quickly.
It has been a pleasure being one of Dr.Cravo's students. I appreciate how she thoroughly explains concepts and repeats herself to help us better understand the topic. Whenever I ask a question, she goes above and beyond, providing detailed answers to ensure every part of my question is answered.
Dr. Cravo is an amazing professor! Her lectures and very clear and straightforward, which made knowing what to study for the tests a lot easier. You can tell she genuinely cares about her students and is very open to feedback. This is a difficult class, but Dr. Cravo made it very feasible to get a good grade. I look forward to taking 2402 with her!
