VERY HELPFUL PROFESSOR FOR ANATOMY 1 LAB. ONE OF THE BEST. SHE WILL DRILL THE STUFF INTO U UNTIL U FINALLY UNDERSTAND. NICE PROFESOR TOO.
No Comments
I am still taking her for BI301 and she is a very good professor.She organized and will let you know exactly what is going to be on the test.You do not need to take any notes,she makes you print out these handouts and then goes over them in class.She is so helpful and makes things a whole lot easier
Very nice lady. She goes by the book(department) as far as rules are concerned, since she is new. She knows what she is talking about. Those printouts previously mentioned; I didnt even buy the book and I'm getting Bs and As thanks to those things.
I had someone else for A/P I and that prof. was really bad. I thought A/P II would be harder but thank God I got Prof. Ellerton.. She'll really clear about everything and if u just ask she'll answer all your questions until u understand it. Shes really great~!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Great lab teacher. I had her for API and she was great, very helpful and gave reviews whenever she could.
She's a kind and helpful professorl, but tough. She gives plenty of notes, but her exams are pretty hard and tricky, compared to the Final Exam. They're multiple choice, but with essay questions. Also, you have to do case studies. Lab was much easier! She's a tough grader, but I think she's okay.
You'll be very happy in her class. She is the best in the whole school.
She is awesome and very willing to help whenever she can. She does follow departmental quidelines, but if you do hard work you will get a high grade. Essay questions are pretty simple and she grades them easy.
She is VERY helpful and her lectures were very clear . Exams are reasonable and she gave you plenty of notes and if you follow her notes, you will get good grade, so far this semester has been great. She really is a great professor . She Helps you reviews for your Exams really are not that hard at all. (comparing to other old Grouchy, worst A&P professors in the shcool )
Great teacher, so helpful and kind She gives great review sheets before tests and is very clear in her teachings, she is always eager to answer any questions, she is by far the best teacher Ive had in QCC!
She has incredible amounts of patience. Always makes time for the student & is willing to answer any questions one might have. You could only benefit from taking her class as well as becoming more knowledgeable while enjoying it at the same time.
she super nice BUT she is hard and tricky. i had no problem passin 301 and now im havin trouble wit 302. her exams are tricky and she gives like 200 questions review and dont even use them on the test, go elsewhere
Truly the best!! She is well organized and very knowledgeable. Her tests are fair, as long as you study. The nicest professor, take her if you can. good Luck! :)
the best professor in qcc. i took her in bio 301 and 302 and on both courses i got an a. i agree, a&p is adifficult course, but she makes it very organazed. and if you follow her you are the winner. take her, i highly recommend. i wish to have the same kind of teachers in nursing program. god bless her. she is qcc' icon.
BEST teacher at QCCC she is soo funn and enjoyable and makes the class reallly interesting i barely studyid and got a B if i can do it anyone cann
BI-301 awesome class- awesome teacher- I mean if you can't learn from her you should re-think studying Biology or Med. Arts!!
She is very helpful, explains very clear. Do the review sheet, you will be good. Her test is straight forward, no trickiness.
This is one of Queensborough's best asset whenit comes to Bi 301 and 302. Excellent professor, I highly recommend her.Onec you study you will be fine.
SHE'S EXTREMELY GOOD. HER EXPLANATIONS ARE VERY CLEAR! SHE GIVES HANDOUT WHICH HER EXAMS ARE BASED ON TO SUMMARIZE THE VAST SUBJECT.
A MUST for A&P1 or A&P2 lecture and lab. She is extremely helpful in answering questions and guiding students through the material. Don't be afraid to ask many questions because she wants you to clearly understand & not make the same mistakes. She teaches you everything you need to learn and her exams cover exactly the material in class.
She is the best professor you can have for A&P AND Bio. As said, if you cant learn from her, you cant learn at all. I looooovveee that professor, i wish i had her for all my classes.
She is a fair professor
Happy to answer any question
A great educator. Ensures that the class understands material. Very approachable, i.e. no need to fear asking questions. Makes subject seem easy.
She is an amazing teacher. If you study you will do great i got all 95's ! She is very clear she is happy to answer any question no matter how many times she has to repeat! Highly recommend her. The most effective study guide is bringing a camera in class and recording what she is showing and saying on the projector extremely helpful!
she is very punctual but hard as hell. she gives questions to review for her exams and she never mentions them on exams. power-point slides are helpful and still exams were extremely hard. i do not recommend her.
Professor Ellerton simply put is an excellent professor. All the students that complain about her are LAZY!!! Her lectures are crystal clear and her exams come directly from her power-points. She even gives review questions prior to exams. If you use the review sheet your guaranteed at least a 90. Take her for A&P (BI 301-302) you won't regret it.
Dr.Ellerton is one of the most amazing professors I've encountered! She is extremely helpful and such a sweetheart! I highly recommend her if it is your first time taking A&P. Do not hesitate to email her questions regarding her lectures. Must study notes and textbook! Good Luck!
Prof Ellerton is the BEST professor EVER! She goes to far lengths to make sure that every student is well prepared and gives them every opportunity to get an A...it's in the students hands to put in their part. She answers all questions and is very sincere and loves what she does. Her tests are very fair, if you study her power points you'll befine
I HAVE LAB WITH HER, SHE IS HELPFUL. SHE ANSWERS ALL THE QUESTIONS IF YOU ASK, BUT THE TEST IS HARD. YOU NEED TO STUDY HER POWERPOINT AND THE REFERENCE SHEET. U NEED TO STUDY REALLY HARD FOR IT.
Really hard tests! Do not take first time. Had to drop her class. Shes really helpful but her exams will get you.
Great professor! Very thorough with the explanations. Always answers questions. Provides a detailed review sheet before each test. Love her!
Really nice professor, But you must study in AP everyone must sudy to get A,,,,,
Ellerton is an excellent prof.! She gives Power Points slides that are brief and clear. She is extremely helpful. She gives extra credit that really bring up your GPA. She may be though at times but that's because she will want you to do well. I highly recommend
Great professor, however she's pretty boring if you ask me. She has powerpoints and cares though which is a plus. I passed the class but failed the lab. Lecture is a breeze, lab is worst than a slow painful death.
She is very nice, patient and she c ares for her students. She i took her for A&P2 i got an A. Just study her slides more than even the book.
This class was a lot of hardwork and I was lucky enough to have her as my professor. She is fair and willing to help whenever she can. She truly cares. She is great for lecture but needs to work on her time management in lab. I felt we often ran out of time and didnt have enough time to look at models. Aside from that she is great:) I got an A
she was very helpful one of the best bio professors!! she cares about helping you understand the material and is always willing to answer questions!
Amazing Professor for lab! Highly recommend her! She teaches all the models by projections and clearly tells us what would most likely be on our tests. This professor is straight to the point and very lenient on grading. Really enjoyed Bio 302 lab with her. Always make videos when she is going over the models, it really helps!
Dr. E is amazing! I had her for both lecture and lab in the fall. Although the course itself is a lot of hard work, she is fair. You have to put in the work and study study study!!! I got an A and it wasn't easy. I studied A LOT! Do that and you will be fine. I highly recommend her:)
Professor Ellerton is an amazing professor. I've noticed A&P is tough for professors too, most fall behind schedule and attending lecture often isn't much better than reading on your own. Prof. Ellerton always stayed on schedule and she actually teaches the material. I've been half asleep in her class and she still keeps my attention.
Hands down for this great professor! She really does take her time to go over very single detail. Of course you need to study bc a&p is a hard course but she will make it easier for you. I would deff take her again.
Professor Sharon Ellerton is one of the most kind, sincere and generous in her attention to students, most helpful, inspiring and easy to go professors that I ever met in my life. I was doing my Honor's Class in Anatomy & Phisiology with her, she was always there to share her experience&give me a wise advice I did exceedingly well, thanks to her.
Honestly hands down the best professor I've ever taken. She is straight forward with all her exams and helpful when you are having difficult with understanding any topics. She allows make up for all her homework assignments which also help you prepare ahead of time for exams. Would love to take her again!
Professor ellerton is nice and all, but she is very fast paced. Which is bad because there's so much material to learn. The online hw is helpful but time consuming. She gives really long study guides and short tests. Which means you study for more than what u need to know. It really is up to you if you can keep up and try really hard to pass.
Professor Ellerton is an amazing professor, just attend her lectures and you'll pass. She gives a total of 5 tests.
PNET! never again for a bio 302 class, avoid avoid avoid! she has good reviews I'm not sure why, she's nice and all but oh my god are her exams hard! Her online lectures are all and her powerpoints are detailed! the review sheets are crazy long and only 40 questions on each exam. it is very easy to do poorly in a A&P class yet alone PNET. NO!
Prof Ellerton is a wonderful sweet professor. Will do anything to help her students. Her exams are very straightforward jus study study and you will do fine. For lecture gives HW and extra credit. Her lab exams are super easy. She is the best AP professor so far in that department. Take her !!
DONE TAKE HER FOR PNET! LAB IS GOOD, AND REGULAR LECTURE NOT PENT!! NO! 302 IS HARD
Such an amazing professor and kind at heart . Never had such a great professor like her . She gives you everything that you need to know for an exam so there is no way you could do bad . Thanks to her I was getting good grades on my exams . Ask her anything she's patient and very smart !
amazing professor. she makes sure you understand everything before moving on. powerpoints are amazing, study guides are good. MUST STUDY OR YOU WILL NOT PASS. she is very caring and easy to understand. have a couple homeworks and group projects but if you hit the points she is looking for you will get a good grade,
her extra credit opportunities are absurd, inconsideration of what her students obligations are. piles up her students with more work on top of what she assigns and you are forced to work in groups and meet certain days making it almost impossible.
I love her. at first i wasn't interested in biology but she changed that for me. I am more into the medical field now because of her. homework can be a lot sometimes but it will help you
she gives a lot of work but she's only helping you in the process and wants you to have a good grade. she always gives extra credit on all exams even the final. she cares about her students and makes sure they are in the right tract.
I love Dr Ellerton, she is such a beautiful person. She gave us a lot of extra credit + homework too. which helped a lot for the bio departmental final. If you go to college, please be serious about it. study study study. Don't expect easy professor, work towards your goals.
Dr. Ellerton is a wonderful caring professor and is looks for ways to help you understand the concepts. 302 is a hard class expect to read and do assignment in order to succeed (as with any course). Would recommend her she was amazing.
Dr. Ellerton is very respected. She is very sweet and straight forward. She called me in after my first poor exam grade and asked me what went wrong. She responses quickly to emails and my class was partially online so the homework was as expected but not a lot. She answers any question via email. I would take her for BI 201 and BI 301. I love her.
Dr Ellerton is a nice professor, overall she explains well, but her tests are hard. She will take off points for spellings. You will be asked to write down not only the proper names but functions as well on tests which can be long sometimes. BEWARE of the last lab exam it's going be a lot of materials to study. Go to her office hours whenever u can
Dr Ellerton is very thorough; however, it will help you in the long run. She deducts points for spelling and careless errors in lab. If you record her and watch the videos countless times, you're guaranteed a 90 or higher on the lab exam. Don't expect to simply name structures and parts in lab. She will test you on the function and flow as well.
I took for her Winter online session. Homeworks and exams are very reasonable and I learned a lot even though it was an online class. Would take again.
She is the sweetest ever!!! She really cares about you passing and will notify you if you failing and what you can do for extra credit to pass (optional of course if you want to pass). She honestly made me understand biology in the most simplest way that if you ask me something I can respond. But beware she does give alot of material.
She seemed tough on the first day but turned out to be really caring. gave extra credit work to help you boost the grade if you need it. her lectures were detailed but not boring. used powerpoint slides which were posted on blackboard. tests were based on lecture notes. if you study hard as you should, her class is not difficult.
She's the best professor I've had for anatomy. Her class is VERY organized and her instructions and drawings are clear, concise and easy to follow imo. If you rewatch videos of her lab and study the models, you'll get a fair grade. She's the sweetest and might even give you some credit on wrong answers if you really applied yourself.
She is literally the sweetest. She gives really good PowerPoints that explain everything well. But there is a lot of material you have to study. The review sheets she posts online for each chapter really help you with the test.
DO NOT TAKE FOR LECTURE- unless you want to basically self study because in class all she does is go over what she posts online already or reviews. She gives study sheets that have so many questions (around 38 for each topic) and only 1/3 of those topics will be on the exam, some of which arent emphasized enough in class. Avoid for lecture please!
Many people don't realize A&P2 lab is going to take hard work to pull an A in. Prof. Ellerton makes her lectures very clear and is great at answering any questions. Although some people find her difficult, I basically aced all her exams just by following her directions. Give effort and this class will teach you a lot.
Great professor study the slides, practice the lab, go over the recordings after each lab, and study study. Everything she teaches and that on the slides is on the exam.
She is a real gem for lecture and lab! There is a lot of material in this course but she keeps everything very organized and explains the material so well. Study hard! She also gives very helpful study guides before each exam.
Professor Ellerton is the most disrespectful biology professor I have ever met. Whenever you voice your concerns, her response is VERY condescending. The tests are completely different from what is shown in class, so you're left puzzled on exams. A classmate of mine told her that the pictures on the exam are vague, and she did not care.
Although this professor is much better in person, she has a great & clear way of explaining complex topics. Shes sweet but you do need to put in the work. She gives review questions which are very helpful & all exams are straight from her lectures/ powerpoints!
I would not take this professor ever again. She completely ruined my self-esteem. During lectures she would say how majority of the students who passed her previous class did not deserve to pass. Her exams are difficult. Not so much homework though.
Does not give any extra credit work. Does not care if students do not do well. Has a chip on her shoulder and believes no one deserves a passing grade. Exams are difficult.
I’m sure she used to be an amazing professor but unfortunately her skills in teaching dropped. She does not explain thoroughly her work and her exams are difficult and extremely convoluted. If you want to save your GPA rethink taking this professor.
I'm personally shocked at the bad reviews, especially about her being condescending or not caring about her students doing well. BIO-302 is a lecture heavy course, but she breaks it down well and makes it easy to understand. Class is interesting and she is very knowledgeable about the subject. Her exams are not difficult, but definitely study.
Professor Ellerton, All my respects goes to her. She is inspirational instructor. My memories on first Bi 302 lab in person is wonderful! She explaines things ,any questions very good detailed to student. Her online and in person class where I meet her first time actually was clear, excellent. I learned a lot about human body!!!
Dr. Ellerton is one of the best professors I've ever taken. She is extremely knowledgeable and breaks down the material really well. She keeps lectures interesting and keeps the class engaged. She is easy to reach and responds to emails promptly. I liked having access to the lecture videos, since they were a great source to review class material.
Such a great professor and cares about her students. Her exams are based on homework so make sure u memorize the questions from there and also make sure to take a lot of notes. A lot of assignments but they are easy.
Its an A&P 2 class its a lot of material. Professor Ellerton has her online Lectures on youtube - take advantage of it and re-listen to the lecture to study. I am by no means a good test taker and I was steadily getting B or B+ on my exams. She cares - sit in the front, participate, and try - youll do great.
Really nice prof. she posts all the material on blackboard even her notes. shes very organized and lets you redo the hw up until the due date. she even lets us bring a double sided piece of handwritten notes to the tests to help us! she responds to her emails quickly. highly recommended! she breaks this course down in a way thats easy to understand

She is definitely the best biology professor at qcc! ! ! If you want to learn something, come to her. She has ppts and many online teaching materials. She is very patient and efficient. This is my third semester taking her class.
She is amazing! I had her as my Lab professor, she explain well in her lab, she will teach you as detail as she can, her lab exams also have some lecture things which makes you knows more than just anatomy. So be ready for the lecture knowledges. She will love to help students to get higher grade, she cares a lot about students.
Professor Ellerton is the best! She is caring and very understanding! I loved taking her class, when preparing for an exams, always OVER PREPARE! A few questions on the exams may stem from what you learned in your lecture class! She was great and always will be! If she is available register for her class!
One of the best professors at QCC. Great at her job, cares about her students, great with allowing makeup exams. Her lectures are spot on. Definitely take this professor
No multiple choice, some questions on tests were given that we did not go over in lab. Grades only on exams, no extra credits or homework's though but would've been nice to have something lift the grade other than exams that are worth your entire grade. Would not take again, hard grader.
This professor hands down does not care about her students. At the start of class she discourages you by saying so many people drop her class, she also does not give extra credit. There's no multiple choice and she tests you on things you didn't learn in class.
She is very kind and always willing to explain, and she sometimes adds 2 points to our exam grade if many people don't do well. She also gives us a list of terms for each exam, and that's all we have to know. She also has recordings from past semesters
I literally love her, and you basically don't need to go to her class cause she posts everything that she is going to teach online. She is the most sweetest and she always cheat sheets during test so there is no way of failing on her test.
At first, I thought this class was going to be easy since she has all her lectures on youtube but her review sheets are so unclear, and her tests are really hard and confusing. Her powerpoints are not clear. She is a very sweet professor, truly understanding but her exams are tough. There was a lot of time needed to study outside of class.
