IF YOU WANT TO HAVE THE BEST EXPERIENCE POSSIBLE WITH ANATOMY OR PHYSIOLOGY TAKE THIS TEACHER. She WANTS you to succeed and does everything possible to make that happen. VERY clear on tests, do a review before each test and she outlines everything to know and you WILL do well on the tests. She is simply amazing, do not miss out on her.

She's SO funny and sweet. I had her for lab. I definitely wished that she was given more of a say in anything in the class, it was her first semester and she pretty much had to do everything exactly as Don would. We had the same exact quizzes as his class, which was good because it prepared us for the midterm and final.

Professor Flood has a different way of running her class. Her exams aren't based on the textbook, which can be confusing if you're trying to study from it. Instead, the exams focus a lot on her lecture slides, especially the underlined and bolded parts. She gives a ton of information, and keeping track of everything can be really tough.

Weekly quizzes based off the textbook and 4 exams based off her lectures. Lecture slides are made up of information directly from the textbook. The exams are super tough, but there are study guides and review sessions to help AND she curves. She is incredibly accommodating. It is not hard to be successful, just takes effort. Dr. Flood is amazing!!

I took this online course and would not take it again, she provided study guides for the exams, but it was more of a fill-it-out-by-yourself kind of thing, which turned into 20-page guides that I felt applied little to the tests, from 600 pages of the textbook she would pull out a tiny fact and expected you to know it.Great person, but didn't teach

Dr. Flood really cares about her students. She wants everyone to succeed and does her best to help out. But this class is not an easy class. I spent easily 5 hours a week studying for class. Tests follow the study guide so if you know the information on the study guide you will do well in class. But be prepared to put a lot of work into class.

I did the online Human Anatomy course with this professor and she was amazing. This course only had one assignment each week and the professor would give lots of learning material along with the textbook. The professor just wanted us to succeed and not fail, and there was no unneeded work. You basically just needed to study. Super nice class.

Her online class is awful, it's just an online textbook, you'll be learning completely on your own and not in a good way. The tests are not that relevant to the textbooks either. I would suggest just reading her slides and taking notes and looking up her answers for the textbook. Or better yet don't take her.

To be honest, I have no idea why she has such good reviews. I learned absolutely nothing from taking her class. I went to every single lecture, took notes, and went to the review study sessions but the tests were extremely difficult and did not align with the review study guide whatsoever. She is a great person but not a great anatomy professor.

Dr. Flood has been one of my all time favorite teachers at UVU. She is very caring and beyond knowledgeable when it comes to anatomy. She is always willing to work with you and will do everything she cans to help you succeed if you do the work.

She sets you up for success really well! She has lecture videos and slides that align with her tests and she specifically tells you to study the slides for the information you need. The TA reviews give specific slides for each question to help narrow what to study. If you put in the work you can get an A/B easily.

I don't leave reviews but Dr. Flood deserves all the praise she can get. Anatomy is a tough subject, but she does everything she can to help you succeed. You have to put in work, but she gives out study guides and study sessions that help you prepare for exams/finals. She's amazing! She's hilarious. My second time taking her. 10/10 would recommend!

Take anatomy from Dr. Flood! She truly wants you to succeed if you try you will easily get the grade you want. Best advice is to go to to the TA exam review sessions they will tell you exactly what to study for each question. Participation was graded on random days. Tests were difficult multiple choice questions and the majority of the grade.

Flood is the best. She understands that anatomy is a hard class and does everything she can to make it easier. Her lectures are easy to follow, and her deadlines are fair. The study guide is a dream and outlines EVERY SINGLE QUESTION. There are no surprises on test day, and she loves to curve. She will move mountains to help you! Love her so much!!

I took this class online but I wish I took it in person. Dr. Flood is brilliant!! Anatomy is hard, but stay consistent with studying and you'll do just fine. She'll tell you exactly what will be on the exams. The final was easier than the other 2 midterms, & she's very generous with grade inflation. You'll get what you put in + some. She's great.

This class is super overwhelming because it covers A LOT. Be prepared going into it that you will not retain everything and THAT'S OKAY. Dr. Flood gave good lectures but was rather scatter brained during the semester I had her due to personal life things. The TA's are very helpful and GO TO THE STUDY GUIDE REVIEW BEFORE TESTS. That is how I passed.

This class is a lot Anatomy is tough but i feel the reviews for the test help a lot this class is more easier than the lab. She is always there and i like that she films her lectures so if you don't go you can still see the lectures and the only homework are the pre- quiz chapters. Nice class a little confusing but good!

I beg. Do ZOOL2320 with Flood. Not only is she incredibly kind but also lenient. She gave a curve on every exam and the review sessions are a must. You get the slide of what content you need to remember. Initially it's intimidating, tons of reading, but once you get into the hang of it, it's easier as long as you keep up. You got this! Choose Sara.

Please Take Flood! I loved having her as a teacher, however there was a ton of reading and homework heavy. She was entertaining and made it clear what she expected. As well as telling us what to expect on exams, all material used was from her slides. She wants you to succeed, gave curves on all exams, and had review sessions.

My best recommendation is to get as many credits as possible before taking this course so you can guarantee yourself a spot in Flood's class. She was clear about expectations and didn't ask a lot from students save daily attendance. Listen to her lectures and the TAs during review sessions and you won't get anything less than an A.
