Professor is strict and keeps to the syllabus. Assessments are difficult. Study Study Study. Lots of extra credit is offered - the extra credit assignments are not easy. Extra Credit presentation opportunities are offered to students who ask interesting questions. Does not curve. No partial credit.

Probably the best professor Ive had thus far. Her lectures are long but informative, she never made a lesson feel overly complicated or boring. Her tests are straight from the PPTs. Id take her for BSC1011 if she taught it.

made it easy for me to understand an extremely difficult class. I actually liked learning for a change.

Best class ever

Teacher who knows how to teach !!

Teaches clearly with a caring attitude. Makes you use your brain!

Happy to finally learn. She makes it easy. This class was the best. More please

Very passionate about the material. Encourages class discussion and offers alot of extra credit opportunities. Makes learning anatomy easier than most, definitely glad I chose her.

Volpe is an exceptional bio teacher. She allows u to gain extra credit opportunities at every angle. In addition u get 50 questions for ur quizzes n those 50 questions are repeated on each 100 questions u exam u take making it possible for u to pass this class n impossible to fail (making sure u study). she also allows u to really learn biology.

I love this professor! She gives extra credit every chance she can, she has office hours to help if you are struggling, she really motivates students to do more with their lives and then actually aids you down the path you want to go rather than just verbally saying "you can do it". You have to study to pass but if you want to learn then take her.

She offers soo much extra credit that you could pass simply on those points alone. If you don't pass this class then you might want to consider being like a Trump rally security specialist or uhh ya know the Marines are always looking for exceptionally bright candidates.

I took Professor Volpe for both A&P1 and A&P2 (Lectures). She has changed her format but not her teaching, pay attention to the lectures and actually visualize how things work. The extra credit she gave this semester alone was enough to change your grade if needed. She's fantastic, I really couldn't ask for a better teacher.

She was an awesome teacher. I recommend paying attention and asking questions. She makes things very clear and she is a very sweet woman. If she asks you to do a powerpoint based off of questions you asked, do it. It's worth the extra credit points. She gives alot of extra credit.

I loved prof. Volpe. She gave so much extra credit that I was able to pass with flying colors. But get ready to work for that pass! Shes super fair, if you work you pass. Shes super sweet and understanding. Shes there for you when you need her. I would �� take her again!

Professor Volpe wants her students to do their best. She has plenty of extra credit opportunities to help buffer a failing grade. The extra credit is not easy but doable. I would recommend her class and this is my second time taking her course. I took AP 1 lecture and lab with her last semester. Best teacher at pbsc

Took Volpe for ap1 lab and lec and it was a doable course. Going to take her for ap2 lec and lab in fall. Would recommend

She teaches this class perfectly. She gives a lot of extra credit and has a solid schedule of lectures all powerpoint, a quiz, student presentations for 2 days, and then your exam. Once you learn a lesson and are tested on it, you will not be tested on it again. She really wants you to pass and succeed. study the powerpoints for your tests and quiz

Professor Volpe wants her students to do well. Everything on the quizzes & exams are from the lecture/powerpoint. She offers a lot of extra credit opportunities. I will be taking her for A&P2, I really enjoyed her class.

Gives lots of extra credit opportunities. You will have to study the PowerPoints she gives you in depth to pass the quizzes. Test are very similar to quizzes but double the questions. Lots of test/quizzes, and four group presentations. Took her for Anatomy and psychology 1 and 2.

She is a great teacher, but her lecture it's a lot. Be prepared for a pop up quiz after every completed chapter, plus the bonus quiz. Her questions in the exam can be very complicated and confusing. 100 questions plus 15-20 questions in the bonus test. No makeup in her class, a lot of extra credit, and be ready for presentations.

Great for an Introduction Lab class. She was super caring, offers some extra credit if you need it, but overall just made an otherwise unbearable class for me passable with a B. Definitely recommend if you need to take Gen Bio Lab for non majors, and she's teaching it.

No textbook needed. she gives the powerpoint that she goes over in class and pulls her questions directly from the powerpoint. Also likes to give extra credit for all sorts of things at random so its not hard to fail

Best professor for Biology!! First online class and it was a breeze!! 12 quizzes total and they are split up 25q each! Self Reflections took me literally two seconds to do, and the lesson discussions were easy. Quizzes were cake! I didn't look at the lessons at all either. I recommend this class online 100% ! First class I didn't cry over.

I took professor Volpe for both Anatomy 1 & 2 lectures and labs and I think she is fair and gives clear information on what needs to be studied. Her labs and lectures are both very different and I will say her labs were by far my favorite. This is not an easy class but I learned SO much and feel more confident because of her classes.

Everything this teacher assigned and gave us to learn was so beneficial. The amount of help offered was great to!

The teacher was the most effective in helping me learn. The way she structures her classes keeps me from procrastinating, and her power points piecewise the information well. Her power points are well written, clear, and help me digest the information better than reading from the textbook. She is also really good at lecturing, staying on topic, and

Professor Volpe teaches in such a way that the student must also do extra research on the topic, this helped me to learn.

Dr. Volpe goes above and beyond with her extra credit, which she doesn't have to do so I sincerely hope students appreciate it. Dr. Volpe is also a very caring professor. and is always making adjustments to help her students and further their knowledge, like go out of her way to host an autopsy tour at FAU medical college

Overall Professor Volpe is a legendary teacher and a good person. She has high expectations, but it pushes you to try hard and not slack off. She is fair and reasonable as long as she knows that you are putting effort into the class and not taking things as a joke. She is awesome and I'd recommend her to anyone taking anatomy.

Professor Volpe is an amazing professor. She truly cares for her students, explains her powerpoints well and has test questions that prepares us for the future.

This is my second time taking Professor Volpe for AP lecture. You can tell that she cares a lot about her job and her students. More professors on campus need to be more available like Professor Volpe.

She's a Genius, her genuine interest in science drives me to learn more.

This class is very intense but well worth it if you really want to know about anatomy for future courses. Some very helpful parts are the SI sessions, the powerpoints and the in-class discussions.

I enjoyed the discussion questions. Particularly, I enjoyed the ones that dealt with the pandemic we are all facing. It was helpful to research it as we were going through it in real life. So, I appreciated the flexibility. She was available when we needed her.

I loved professor Volpe, I wasn't sure if she'd be a great micro professor in the beginning but 2 weeks into our classes I had no regrets about taking her class. She's very smart and even organised a cadaver lab tour for us for which I'm really grateful.

Great professor, learned a lot from her.

There is a lot of work to do. All lectures are prerecorded, I can learn at my own pace. its so easy to get an A there is lots of extra credit. If you cant get an A in theis class then you are not a good student. Easy A, would recommend.

The extra credit helped me pass. She gave us a month to do the quizzes. I didn't have to rush each week to finish. The lectures are prerecorded and SI sesssions suport the lectures. ZGreat class.

there is so much work to do. the mastering assignments are lame, because they are timed, but i finshed them all stressed out while doing them. did the extra credit my avergae went up and I am happy that we have the option for making up points. took for ap1 online now AP2 online is harder cus content but passed

There is a lot of work to do. Feels like busy work. The discussion board questions are for completion and the quizzes are not. extra credit is available throughout the semester. The final exam and journal entry were best assignments.

Professor Volpe offered a structured due dates list in which to aid us in creating a schedule. She really helped me learn on my own time.

The clear directions that the professor gave early on in the class. She gave us the schedule and I just followed it throughout the semester

this class was easy becasue the profesor provides a clear schedule and grading cirteria. I will take for ap2.

learned a lot despite online - course expectations are clearly identified in the syllabus.

there is a lot of work to do, lessons are prerecorded and i can complete assignments at my own pace all assignments due at the end of the semester. even though i never met the teach from our emails i can tell she is nice and understanding. answers emails quickly.

she does not all any make up assignments. WHich is not fair but extra credit is offered instead. I made up 30 points doing the SI sessions. worth it cus the SI is great.

the SI is the best part about this class. she offers a lot of study tips and tricks. this SI leader only works with prof. volpe. the prof has a real clear schedule and outlines the course expectations. I took her for both AP 1 and AP 2 labs and lectures.

Her class i took online and it was pretty straight forward. Do the labs and discussion and its a easy A. I was just a last minute person and got lazy. But this definately a A class

Great online lecture, I took Prof. Volpe for both lab and lecture, the assignments for both courses are the same, she lets students submit the same assignments for lab and lecture. Mastering is very helpful, at first I didn't want to do all the assignments but the variety of assignments made it easier to understand the content.

Easiest online course I've taken. The majority of the assignments are through Mastering Pearson and the rest are Blackboard disucussion board questions. The course schedule is easy to follow and the Mastering assignments are all due at the end of the semester so I can pace myself at my own schedule. Attendance is not required to the online sessions

Professor made this class easy, most assignments are due at the end of the semester, there are a few weekly assignments to do, they are easy discussion board questions. My favorite assignment is the final exam, I really love photography and incorporating an art based assignment into a science course made the course more fun. Will take AP 2 with her

This course is created to complete asynchronously meaning, attendance is optional to office hour sessions. She records weekly reviews of each chapter. the mastering portal is the best reference, the assignments are easy and there is practice, the grading scale makes is nearly impossible to fail and the extra credit allows me to guarantee my grade.

For the lab we were required to attend four Zoom sessions, for attendance we wrote a 400 word summary of the lesson content. To study I read over the summaries posted. The quizzes were straight forward and we had a review for the midterm and final, the review included images from the exam making it easier to study and to know what to anticipate.

Doable course. Has Pearson assigns. due at the end of the semester so plan well; about a chapter a wk/ 4 assign a wk. Has non-course related work thats easy and is essentially extra credit due wkly. Also, extra credit opportunities. 1 essay easy and no cumulative exams just an easy project. SI vids and her PPTs posted help a lot. Use DSM in portal

The teacher was the most understanding and gave us work to helped us develop as students. The work wasn't overbearing and the professor was very kind to everyone she understood that we are in the middle of global pandemic and she did not make the lessons and assignments absolutely brutal, She's a great teacher!

No due dates other than weekly discussion made for less pressure

I really enjoyed professor Volpes class. It is a lot of work as you would expect from an A&P class. But as long as you get it all in on time, shes not a harsh grader. All assignments were due at the end of the semester so there wasnt due date pressure you are responsible for pacing yourself. There are weekly discussion due once a week.

I absolutely adored this teacher and was so excited to find out I can take her for BSC2086! All of her work is due at the end of the semester and that can either be a good thing for some or a bad thing for some. As long as you are self disciplined, you should have no problem getting an A. I did all the assignments and ended up with a 98%.

Professor Volpe is a great teacher. She definitely prepares you for medical school or nursing school. You will do a lot of assignments. You will need to spend 12 hours a week on the class. Overall I like Her because she prepares you.

This Professor is very kind and helpful. She was quick to respond to messages sent to her inbox through Canvas. She is not a tough grader, but she Gives a lot of work both on Mastering Pearson and on Canvas. On each chapter you have to do the Pearson assignments which can be very lengthy as well as answer questions and write a summary on canvas.

I forgot what we purchase but we purchased something and Like most of the tests and quizzes are easy. It was open book but for some you can't find the actuals answers in the book or anywhere else so you had to guess. This class is okay. I've taken hard classes and this class wasn't one of them. It was just nerve-wracking

Professor Volpe was very organized, her instructions were clear and to the point, gives a lot of extra credit and cares about her students. you learn at your own pace, she does do a lot of discussion boards but are super easy, as well as her weekly quizzes are super easy. she made a&p easy and helps you if you may need it. 10/10 would recommend!

This professor was very good her weekly quizzes are easy if you study there is mastering Pearson a lot of discussion some was easy and some was eh not bad her project are very understanding and easy again she gives a lot of extra credit that was not hard at all just do your work and you will pass her class

I aint gone lie it was a lot of work I almost failed her class I found out I need the Pearson abscess code the day before it was due on a Monday and it was due on Tuesday at 11:59pm but I finished it you will have assignment due on canvas and Pearson . Which is 1,000 points do all the assignments I end up getting a B in the class but be careful .

Everything is due on the last day; there were no tests, mainly just weekly quizzes. The final is all of the attendance quizzes, so if you do good on that, then you're set. She is very easy to reach as she would quickly respond when I contacted her. Just don't procrastinate as I did, and you'll be fine. Retaking her this semester, rlly good teacher.

Volpe is the type of professor that doesn't respond quickly to emails. BUT the course is designed well, I prefer having until the end of the term to complete all assignments. Grades are completed at the end of the term but the mcgraw assignments are graded automatically. There is an over abundance of work which helps buffer the mcgraw assignments.

I took this professor for AP1 AP2 w/lab and MCB. I earned an A in each class that is a total of 10 credits worth of A grades. Taking these classes with Volpe helped my GPA, I knew from other students that her courses are doable and was pleased to earn A in all 4 courses I took with her. Solid professor - lots of extra credit easy A good for GPA

this course was well laid out and easy to achieve an A. there is a lot of extra credit points and a lot of assignments. I don't see how it would be possible not to get an A in one of volpes classes. will take her again for micro

Love her and her classes.

I took her for A&P 2 Lab. She gives TONSSSSS of extra credit so even if you are failing, which you shouldn't be because she teaches the material very well, you can still 100% pass with the amount of extra credit she gives. Unfortunately, she takes about 24 hours to respond to emails.

i took this prof for ap1 and now ap2 with lab. I plan to take her for micro, the extra credit helped me get an A and give me peace of mind. there is a lot of work and all assignments are due at the end of the term. Also her courses have a tutor associated with the course, extra credit for tutoring sessions. her courses are easy just a lot of work

Amazing professor! I took this professor for AP1 and I highly recommend to take her for AP1 Ap2 and Micro. Very caring and easy to connect with. Truly a gem at pbsc.

I am taking this ap2 lab with lecture, the online course is easy to complete and balance with a fulltime job. I was nervouse about an in person lab but prof volpe is very understanding to students needs. She makes a tough subject easy to understand I like how she breaks down the information

Professor Volpe's class has a lot of work, but using Unstuckstudy for study prep made it manageable. She's slow to respond, but the course is well-designed. Overall, it's an easy A if you put in the effort.

Easy A, not sure why she gets a bad rap class is a lot of work but it's doable!

This is my favorite professor, make sure you show up and do the work she provides and you're basically guaranteed a good grade. She explains things so well, wish she taught micro I would 10000000% take her again

Take this professor for AP 1 lecture, Ap2 lecture and LAB, and micro lecture. Don't miss out on the opportunity to strengthen your knowledge for science and your GPA. I really love this professor ap2 lec in person with her, she actually cares about students. Truly she loves us. Wish more teachers were like ber too

I heard from students that this is the professor to take and I do not regret that advice. The professor made this course passable by the point distribution, she is not a gatekeeper. I do not believe it is possible to not pass this course. It is a lot of work but doable....

it isn't possible volpe dont have a 5! do yourself a favor take volpe for ap1 2 and micro. Dont be taking it with some other dump... I am clearly telling you all...... Volpe is the best decision you will make in your life.

This is my 4th class with volpe. I already know I'm gonna get an A so I put it already. Took Anatomy 1 and 2 and lab 2. Now taking micro this summer. Wish I could take all my credits with her.

Lemme tell you that this teacher give so much work. Assignments are a lot....but lemme tell you that I only got a 73 average on those McGraw assignments and still passed the class with a A bc of the extra credit and regular canvas assignments. It is work but it ain't difficult.

You know What sets volpe apart from others????....is that it is all doable and nothing has to be perfect to still get an A. For those folks complaining about the work...be honest we know you still got an A. All the work is due at the end of the term. No complaints folks just take her courses, get your A and be good

All assignments were due at the end of the semester. I procrastinated and completed everything at the last minute and still got an A. It's not hard, just time-consuming. The assignment instructions are very clear, I didn't need to email her at all throughout the semester.

If you want to pass A&P take her. The only thing about taking her online is that is time consuming so be prepared for a lot of homework assignments. Amazing professor, she answers emails fast and she sends reminders whenever you have a missing assignment so you can catch up. I took her for the summer so it was easy to get everything done with time

This class was an easy pass. No tests or quizzes, but a lot of homework that takes at least 45 minutes to 1 hour to complete. HOWEVER, if you need a professor who communicates clearly, regularly, sends updates/announcements often, and need questions answered do not choose her. absolutely zero communication whatsoever. You will be on your own here.
