HARD to understand. I would recommend not taking this professor! I paid a lot of money for a tutor and still could not get a good grade. She forgets and changes her mind a lot! she says she will help you but she doesn't. I tried meeting her after class and she just gets frustrated. Super nice lady but her tests are weird and dont follow anything.

While I loved this class, it is not for everyone. She does old-school lectures with very good notes, but has an accent some people in my class couldn't understand. She was really helpful though, met me outside of class for review help and had review sessions on off days. Lots of extra credit opportunities. Still I was one of the few who passed.

She is hands down the best professor I have ever had. She is one of the few that actually care about what knowledge you take out of the course rather than just straight up your grade. She teaches extremely well and although I thought taking her course in 8 weeks would be challenging, she made it worth while.

Professor Gollapudi is a very caring professor. She makes sure to ask about how you're doing. She gives weekly quizzes and 4 lecture exams. The final is comprehensive, but she teaches well so no worries. She seems very passionate about the course and makes sure that her students are learning.

At first, I thought she was a good teacher, but I soon realized that she wasn't that great. I had her for nutrition online at my own pace and I could never reach her via email. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend this teacher, but if it was your last choice, then good luck.

Guys!! If you want an easy A don't take, but if you like reading you can take her. Don't get me wrong she teaches well and all that but her grading criteria is the worst. She uses (Lockdown Webcam Browser). She gives 100 reviews for her exams which 20 comes out. Goodluck!!

A lot of times the set correct answers were wrong. The fact that she may take a while to respond to emails did not help. I took her for nutrition as an 8 week course and it was very fast. However, her ppts were helpful. Some times she would misgrade dbs as not done when you did everything though. Also, no reviews.. not even for the final.

This is probably my favorite professor that I've ever had. She's really good at using real life situations to explain the material. I had a bad experience with A&P 1 and learning the material but she really helped me catch up. No A&P 2 professor is gonna be a free credit so expect yourself to put in the work outside of class to pass.

Prof G is a great teacher to take for A&P1. I believe this course is very exhausting and confusing with the amount of material getting shoved in your face, but Professor G makes things a little bit easier with how she explains things. Make sure to spend time with the material and you will do greatly in this course.

Mrs. G is one of the most passionate professors that I have known. She is caring, and her humor is top-tier. Her lectures are very heavy, although the review sessions she has always helped tons. My advice is to constantly review your note after lessons and not leave it until near the exam. There are a lot of material, so it's easily overwhelming.
