Ok, she is nice, but sometimes she is in a bad mood. She doesn't like you asking questions, mostly because you will interupt her conversation with her guy helper, if ya know what I mean. Her way of dressing is completely innapropriate. She looks like she is trying to hard to be Britney Spears.

This teacher seems as though she knows what she is doing but she does not belong in a class room teaching others about Anatomoy & Physiology I. A lot of her students, wheither they pass or fail, will end up having to retake the same lecture class because a lot of them don't understand what they have learned from her.

This professor did not teach our class. She basically made us teach ourselves through presentations...we presented group projects for most of the semester. It looked liked over half the class failed.

If you study hard you can get an A. You must study EVERYTHING. You must know ALL of the textbook, tests are not close to what is implied they will be on. Just learn EVERYTHING in the book and lab manual. Don't get into personal drama in the class and be sure to just attend, mind your own business, nose in your book and you will be fine.

DO NOT TAKE HER! Her exams are way harsh, and she doesn't specify what will be on the exams. She sends out the powerpoint notes, but often a week or so after you have already started the chapter. The tests are NOT based on those notes, you have to read every single word of the chapter as well. I would never take her again.

Print out PP, read and outline each chapter, and do the study guides. It is anatomy and needs studying.

When your study guide has a disclaimer saying "This will not cover everything that you are tested on" you know that the professor does not have a complete grasp on what a study guide is. There were questions that seemed like they had been through google translate. And everyone who has taken SPN knows how that goes. Avoid this professor.

She's very knowledgeable about anatomy and physiology but she is too much into herself, don't show up sone times & is always late. If you care about your GPA please run fast as you can from her. Downtown campus is way better for anatomy and physiology. Ms. Rosany need to leave her diva attitude home or for the weekend when she goes out.

Do not take this professor if you have other options. She is always late to class, especially on exam days and doesn't take teaching seriously. She often does not cover exam material on time and you end up cramming and teaching yourself. Her power points are badly written and her exams are on a higher level than she teaches.I do not recommend.

She sucks!!! Do not take her! She doesn't listen or directly answers questions directed at her. She uses powerpoint to teach which is fine but she elaborates on one section then speeds through the rest. Her first test is super easy but don't think all her test are the same especially the take home test (it has things that are not said in the text

I got an A, but she's a terrible teacher; I got this grade by studying the book vigorously. She teaches by powerpoints from an older book than the one she said to buy. She refuses to review because "there's not enough time;" there would be if she weren't 15 minutes late to EVERY class. Wouldn't recommend unless you like teaching yourself.

She is very informative about the labs. Before you get started, she explains what the concept is about and tells you what to do for each section of the lab. Overall she is nice and would recommend as a lab professor.

This teacher was only my teacher for one quarter out of four due to a leave she had to take. Even before hand she never showed up on time and even when she did she didn't have much planned. We learned not a slightest bit of information, all we knew was that she wasn't reliable especially with a major test coming up. In the end, never take her.

I think she gets less credit than she deserves. She does you a solid by warning you of the diagrams to study that you'll usually have to label on exams and she bothers to post powerpoints of lectures. Just read on your own to reinforce, she wont hand u an A! A good understanding of anatomy is impossible if you dont learn on your own time at home!

She is very dry and cold in demeanor. Very strict with students being on time, but is not ever on time herself. She sometimes is a little irritated when we ask q's but overall will try to answer them. The quizzes are easy and the pre-labs too. If you can get past her attitude, and do the work, it's an easy A.

This class is supposed to be a NON-science major class but its incredibly difficult. Five extremely hard tests that have nothing to do with the inclass lectures and five homework. I'm serious, stay away. Prof Monagas is nice, but her lectures are so irrelevant to the test questions I felt like I was taking a surprise exam form another class. Avoid.

If you are looking for an A to be handed to you then find another professor. If you are looking to pass this course then this is the professor to take. Follow her power points, lectures and study guides and you'll be successful in this course. Exam 5 is a take home. Take advantage of EC opportunities. Take her! I hated Bio but she made it easy.

Her lectures are power point based, and she claims all the exam questions will be from the power points. However, majority of the questions on the exams have VERY LITTLE to do with the power points AND study guides. Majority of the questions are from the textbook, so I had to study blindly. She's always 15 minutes late to class as well..

I see people are rating this professor rather low, which is hardly fair. She has a syllabus that explains everything you need to know about the class and what's expected. STUDY FOR MIDTERM AND FINAL... they are timed and fill-in answers, no multi-choice. The quizzes are multi-choice and and very easy if you study the material.

I took her over Summer 3 so the class was extremely fast paced. After every lecture we had a quiz due before the next meeting. So literally every other day was a quiz. The quizzes covered anywhere from 2-4 topics. For the final she did a review study guide & maybe 2 topics were on the test. Run fast!!!

Do not take her for lab!! She grades things harder and you really need to study. The pictures on quizzes are not the same as her powerpoints so it's very hard to get a good grade on the quizzes unless you really study. There are many quizzes where I got something right but just because she was unsure, she marked it wrong. Always thinks shes right.

She gives you a quiz and a midterm. You cannot use a word bank for your quizzes and must remember every word on the test. She offers you only 10 minutes, so allow one minute for each question. No multiple choice; everything must be written down. She counts spelling, thus I regret taking her. I wish I had a different teacher.
