First time teaching A/P 1 at UNF, and she's very good. Tests and quizzes come exactly from the outlines/book and lecture. She makes learning A/P very simple and easy. This is the best A/P class i've taken in years. She offers other lectures that you can attend to gain bonus points. Definitely a chili pepper!!!!!

She is honestly not bad compared to other teachers. Yes, it takes her two weeks after the exam to grade but if you study and use her study guide that LITERALLY outlines the written portion (40%) of your test grade you do fine. She does rush her PPT if she's behind. She has your best interest at heart. Expect to learn not memorize the material.

Her lectures are amazing and exams are based on the powerpoint only so they're easy to study for if you put the time in. She's a slow grader because she's busy but that's my only criticism. She genuinely cares about how you do in the class and she's understanding about due dates. It's a hard class but she's a great professor.

This professor had strong favorites and was is reluctant to help others. Often gave attitude or useless feedback. She is an extremely tough grader. takes off points for misspelled words. alot of free response questions and if your answers do not 100% match what she has written she will mark you wrong. There is a lot of homework and extra credit.

Amazing lectures as while it may seem a lot at first, the PPTS provided cater to all students, as each PPT has diagrams, short summaries of the topic, or in-depth processes of anatomy. She is an amazing professor, strict yes, but of course is expected of a difficult course. DO THE GIVEN HOMEWORK! Easy points, and saved my grade.

YOU MUST STUDY! You will NOT pass her exams if you do not take the time to study. AT LEAST 2 HOURS a DAY. Her exams are EXACTLY what is on her powerpoints. Only critique I have is that she talks pretty fast.

Colosimo is a great A&P 2 lab professor. She was very clear what would be on exams and quizzes, was awesome answering questions, and made sure we understood topics before leaving class. She is also super approachable, would highly recommend her!

She is such a nice professor, and she is really amazing at teaching the content as well. She lectures for the whole time. Has many little assignments besides the test and extra credit that are nice free points to pad your grade. A lot of bonus questions on the exams. Only nitpick is that she grades a bit slowly. Takes about 2 weeks to grade exams.

Ms Colosimo is a very engaged, passionate professor who has everyone's best interest in mind. Her lectures are useful and she provides excellent study/success tips. There are 4 exams with an optional final. they are usually 70% multiple choice 30% short answer and matching with a couple bonus questions at the end. She did a great job this semester

Fantastic lab & lecture instructor for A&P 1. Takes a little while to grade tests. As for the actual course: STUDY. You will not succeed if you don't put in the time & effort this course demands. Prof. Colosimo makes it clear what content will be on exams and provides adequate study material for both lab & lecture. Attending S.I. also helps a lot.
