Great teacher. Makes learning environment fun and invites students to share personal experiences related to topic. Very approachable and always willing to help! Tests are clear, detailed, and easy if you study. Requires a lot of work and study time.

Good teacher.Nice attitude.

I like that she uses analogy in her teaching, but our class sometimes finds her information not too accurate. Granted, she is a physiologist, so teaching anatomy is not her forte. (Shina Alagia is an expert in anatomy but lacks Sue's teaching skills)

Good teacher with great teaching skills.

excellent! Only studied 2 days prior to exam VS. studying for Shina EVERYDAY! Offers EC on all exams.very approachable and does all she can to help in getting a good grade.Basically gives answers away in study guides. Semi-easy A.

great teacher! makes the learning environment fun,she is always willing to answer questions after class if you are the shy type,she actually cares about your grade and willing to give out extra credit it you need it.her exam are really easy if you study for them.:)

She's such a nice lady. She's pretty clear on all her explanations and is really good at helping you when asked. Labs are pretty easy and she always gives you plenty of time to finish things up. Fairly easy class.

I honestly have no clue what these other people are talking about. Prof Caldwell was very sweet and patient and would even repeat the same dam thing over and over again for the students who didnt want to learn so they didnt pay attention. Tests arent that bad. I got a B w/out ever opening the book!

Sue was a great teacher. She is easy to understand and very willing to help, kind of motherly. You definitely have to study, but she gives a study guide for each exam and if you know the study guide you will do fine.

Whomever rated her as a bad teacher must have been a student who arrived late, didn't pay attention nor studied and didn't care for science. Sue is a physiologist so she focuses more on that than anatomy. She gives you a study guide before each test and e-mails you notes!how much easier could a teacher make a class?

Sue, is a great teacher. The class is demanding, so you have to at least study to pass. Those who fail should maybe declare a new major, because Sue goes out of her way to help her students get through A&P. Anything worth having is worth working your @&& off for.

Sue is a very good teacher. She gives handouts on everything she wants you to learn, there are no tricks. However, the multiple choice portions of her test are very demanding. You need to KNOW the material. Studying hard is a must.

Sue is a great teacher. I especially liked her drama. I still think of the muscle play when I need to understand how the muscle contraction works. Her tests are very thorough and detailed however attainable with studying. She helps you remember this stuff for the future!!! Highly recommend!!!!!

Mrs. Caldwell is a very good teacher!!!! I learned so much, her lectures are very good and interesting. She adds flavor and examples to help make sense. Overall very good teacher and if you study hard you can get good grades!!!!

Excellent teacher. She helps you understand the subject and is there to help you pass the class. If you attend class and study the handouts, you should do good in class. Good sense of humor...just don't be late and don't let your cell phone ring in class!

She the best teacher you could ask for biology. She tries her best to help you succeed. Do the extra credit, its easy points. And show up to all the labs.

I took her last semester, and I want to take her again! She is not super personable, but thats ok she is professional and doesn't use favortism, everybody gets treated exactly the same. She is clear in her lectures and gives great study guides. I learned alot from her and like her teaching syle. Highly recommended!

Take it with a friend, trust me. Attendance is a must on lab days & if you're late you'll get zero's on quizzess. Ms. Caldwell was very clear on all assignments and notes. Tests, lectures, labs, homework, etc. was all easy - and kind of fun, and I usually hate biology. Very nice lady - very easy class.

SHE'S VERY NICE.SHE GIVES MANY CONCEPTS AND EVEN HAVE A PLAY FOR YOU TO REMEMBER.NOT AFRAID TO ADMIT THAT SHES WRONG OR DOESN'T KNOW SOMETHING.DOESN'T GET TO KNOW ANYONE PERSONALLY BUT GIVES U THE HELP U NEED.PROVIDES LECTURE NOTES AND STUDY GUIDES.

People who whine about this teacher don't want to put in the effort.She is hard but not unreasonable.I got an A+. Most people taking this class are going into the medical field.If you want easy, work at McDonalds!

Sue Caldwell is indefinitely an excellent teacher. I am taking her classe right now. Her tests are fairly easy if you read well her notes and if you want extra points, go over the related materiels in the physio book. I love her bonus questions; they are essentially clinical approaches.

Sue is a nice lady. She's more than fair with grading. It's not her that makes the class hard, it's the material. Physiology has to be understood, not memorized.

Sue is a great teacher. Before taking class I was rather nervous about it. I thought it would be very hard, but I was so wrong. I got a B and both lecture and lab classes. Dont buy book never used. test and quiz taken from PPT notes and quizzes in lab come right from labs themselves. Great lecture and lab class and great teacher too.

What can I say..she is a very smart lady.Pay close attention to what she tells you in lecture, she will tell you alot of things that are not in your PPT note packets,that will be on her tests. Test questions are a little harsh at times, but she gives you a fair amount of time to study for exams.Study alot and DONT GET BEHIND.Dont buy text, useless.

Sue Caldwell is a professor that challenges her students to learn. She is thorough, to the point, and does not tolerate immature behavior in her lecture or labs. Most of the students that are taking Bio 141 are pre RN students. Physiology is a hard subject regardless. Pay attention, ask smart questions and listen to her answers. She WILL help you!!

Anyone who says Bio 141 is hard, should drop out of school. Science classes demand a large amount of your time. As a physiology class it is not hard enough. Caldwell needs to toughen up this class, everything is handed to you.

Sue teaches to the point. She is very clear, uses lots of outside resourses relevant to the subject.Her tests are tricky only if you don't study.IF You know your stuff, you will fly ACE high. Labs are sometimes helpful, but most of the time a waste of time. She doesn't leave anything out. You learn EVERYTHING. Thats what I would want my RN to know.

Professor Caldwell is great! She really explains things well and is willing to help you in any way she can. Her lectures are easy and fun to follow, lab is fun too!! She is a wonderful professor, gotta take her!!

These comments are ridiculous! Sue is a great instructor. She doesn't know everything, but she really wants you to learn! Wake up people... this is a SCIENCE class, therefore you should expect to work hard. And, as many of us are taking these classes to go on into the medical field, I suggest you all learn to study; it only gets harder from here!

Sue is a wonderful teacher. She provides everything you will need to know for tests/quizzes in her notes so buying the book is not mandatory. She is really excited about the human body so it makes learning fun. She cares about her students and is always more than willing during her office hours to go over concepts with you. Offers bonus points on

I would highly recommend taking Sue?s class. She is a great teacher and a very nice lady.

GREAT TEACHER! Wonderful person! Really cares! Excited about the subject and about teaching! Easy to understand. Not too demanding but you can learn alot if you put forth the effort and don't try to just skate by. She doesn't try to make it any more difficult than it already is and is helpful and understanding as long as you make an effort. Thanks!

This class was very intersting! It is very straight forward and i love how she is involved with blackboard. She uses powerpoints which is a big plus. She likes to get the class involved but the class was kinda hard. You really have to put a lot of effort into it. I did walk away with a greater knowledge.

Sue is awesome. She is a great teacher, very smart. Prepares you well for tests, offers extra credit too. Really nice and helpful if you are struggling at all. I would most definitely recommend taking her class.

Caldwell is DOPE!!!! I love her because everything you need to know is in her lecture. Go to class, study the slides, and don't waste $$$ and time on the book. She's funny too.

Professor Caldwell is a great teacher. Explains lab very well. Clear and precise. High expectations without being overly demanding and unreasonable. A caring teacher and wonderful person. I learned quite a bit in her class without being stressed out.

Let's face it, Physiology is not an easy course, in fact it is a trial by fire regardless of what instructor you have. That being said, Sue is extremely helpful, she gives you all the notes you will need and study guides as well. Be sure to study your notes and the power points because the exams are primarily based off of them.

Sue is a great Physiology professor, she makes it fun and easier to learn! Don't buy the book, study from her notes and powerpoints, and you will do well. Some of the study guide questions go into more detail then what the exams are on, but still good to go over them. I couldn't imagine taking any other professor for this course!

Sue is an excellent instructor. She wants her students to succeed and will help them if they do their share of the work. This is not an easy subject nor an easy class but she makes it fun and understandable. Do all extra credit assignments and ask if you don't understand something.

She is very helpful, patient and knows her stuff. Its a tough course, and she is a tough grader. I worked very hard, went to her office hours almost every week, and my grade was an 89.4, she gave me a B. Dont depend on her mercy for good grades!

Sue is a great professor. She is very clear in her expectations, and her outlines and powerpoints are great. I am not sure what the students who do not like her expect from her. I highly recommend her!

I didn't need a textbook for this class. Lectures are available for download. Currently have over 100% because of extra credit she makes available. I'm just worried this class might have been too easy and I didn't learn everything I'll need, but Sue is a good teacher and I like her class.

Sue is a wonderful teacher, not the most approachable of the professors that I have had, but meet with her on her time to ask questions during office hours, you'll get it.Record you lectures,I did that, along with the 10pts extra credit on all her exams. Book isn't required, but, it did help. Print out prior lectures ahead of class w/homework too

Sue is a great teacher, uses many analogies to help visualize the terminology There were 5 or 6 exams, nothing comprehensive, weekly homework on blackboard with online quizzes ever third Sunday. Record your lectured,that is how I managed to get and A, all exam she offers 10 extra points on all the exams, as well as an out of class extra lab

Sue is one of the best prof. at Grossmont. She is passionate about her profession & her subject.

A good teacher, though you have to pay attention in class for things that are on the test/homework but not in the notes. VERY passionate about her teaching, always answered every question I had. Physiology is hard but the class is easy if you DO THE WORK, she only wants to be sure you actually learn the material.

Online class. Ms. Caldwell promptly answers emails. Homework assignments are thoughtful essays and some are based on web articles. The tests are half multiple choice, half short answer with an extra credit question. The text is optional but if you're into nursing, why wouldn't you buy it and read it? Like any class do the work and an A can be had.

I took her class in 2011 fall. Her lecture& note are well organized. I used study guide for reviewing the material& listened recored her lecture over with her power point. She announces all Quiz, HW&points for tests during the lecture so pay attention to her lecture&take good notes! I ended up with A since she dropped lowest HW&Quiz.

I love this teacher!!! She took a difficult subject and made it easily understandable. She is very clear on what she expects and outlines what you are learning. If you are willing to work and study hard, you will get a good grade in this class.

This teacher is the real article. Polite, informed and professional.A real delight to attend her course. Her homework assignments kept me up to date on many crucial subjects that pertain to todays health issues. May be the best teacher I have ever had the pleasure of learning from. I highly recommend this top notch instuctor.

If you do not get an A in this class it is entirely your own fault. Everything you need to succeed in this class is at your disposal-she is crystal clear, her notes are laid out perfectly, she provides podcasts of her lectures. Sure she isn't warm and fuzzy, but who cares, she's not there to be your mom. Get over it and study.

She is a great teacher. Used study guide and go to class and you will do fine. She is a fair teacher. Loved the class!!

Sue, is a good teacher. She cares about her students, and is passionate about science. Her podcasts make the class easy. Yes, you have to put in the time, study for exams, and stay on top of weekly homework assignments but I found the course very easy.

I really enjoyed this class. It is a difficult and complex subject but she did make it interesting. Her pod-casts are a major help! Use them! She is always helpful so just ask if you are confused. She does offer extra credit which is also a major bonus!

Professor Caldwell does offer great lectures and study guides. She also has podcasts of the lectures available online but when it comes to the exams, many of my classmates and I found ourselves misled as to what she was asking in exams and lost points due to that. No doubt she's a great teacher but the exams are what our grade is based on, sadly.

Sue is a great teacher. Her lectures can at times be dull because she has a monotone voice but it's important to attend them. As long as you pay attention in class, do the homework, review study guides and LISTEN TO PODCASTS, you will get a good grade. Dont take this class lightly and know EVERYTHING to a T before exams

Great instructor, great experience, I would definitely recommend her

This class is a lot of work, BUT if you take notes in class (follow her outline) and do the hw (1/wk) and study guides you will be fine. Study for the quizzes they are specific, got A's on every exam by doing the study guide and studying the quizzes and HW. she gives extra credit questions and drops lowest quiz/HW. talk to her and she will help

If you are not willing to work hard, do not take this class. Professor Caldwell does her job well and gives you all the tools to know the curriculum. She is very helpful and loves what she does. She is a great professor!!

Amazing Amazing Amazing...I cant ask for more...she is intelligent and straight to the point...physiology is hard but you have to pay attention,study and know why you are in school. She gives homework every week for you to know the subject and pass. I was pregnant and I made it. The best professor ever. I recommend you take her 100%

Pros: Honors office hours, always available for questions, will review work before you submit. Cons: Study guide not as helpful as could be, PowerPoints don't match lecture, topics streamlined to the point of being a bit dumbed-down which makes things MORE confusing-not less, LOTS of study time needed. Tip: make a study group & GO TO OFFICE HOURS!

Her lectures are interesting. She has a way of tying what we learn in class to real life issues so that you would have a better understanding. It is a lot of studying so make sure you print out her outlines and be in class ready to take notes. The extra credits offered at the end of exams makes me pass with a high A!

The best physiology teacher ever!!! Would take her over any physiology teacher! The best way to study for her tests are doing the study guide and listening to her podcasts and you'll for sure pass with an A!

I absolutely loved this teacher. Sue is more than fair. She will NEVER try to trick you. She also concentrates on the main topics in the sections instead of the nitty gritty details. She is the best teacher I have had at grossmont and cuyamaca. Study and you will do fine!!! 4 tests, 5 quizzes, hw every week, and plenty of extra credit.

Sue is amazing! I loved everything about her. I was always super engaged in her lectures. Her lab was pretty tough for me, but I still managed to pull off an A. You get out what you put in, and it takes a lot of hours to really understand the concepts, so just study and you'll do fine. I wish she taught all the science classes at Grossmont!

If you do her study guides and pay attention in class, you will do well. Physio is hard in general. Most of her test comes from the study guides and hw. Quizzes are multiple choice. One weekly hw assignment. Her audio podcasts are boring, but not mandatory. She posts those for our own benefit. I appreciated them. I would take her again.

Physiology isn't an easy class, but with all the tools she provides us, it's a little easier. She gives us study guides that are actually helpful, provides audio podcasts, and has notes prepared for us so all we have to do is annotate or follow along. Obviously, you'll have to work for your grade, but it's manageable. Keep up and you'll be fine

One of the best science professors I've ever had! Physio is not easy but she truly wants her students to succeed & gives you all the tools to do well in her class. She provides study guides, audio podcasts, weekly homework & even offers extra credit. She is easy to talk to. GO TO OFFICE HOURS! If you put in the time & effort you'll get an A

Professor Caldwell is by far the best professor I have had in college. Her lectures are amazing and very detailed. She even takes the time to record her lectures on podcast and post them on blackboard for students. She is specific about what you need to know for the test and provides study guides for all of them. Expect easy, weekly assignments

I took her online, and she was very straightforward and her class was just what I needed. Bio 118 is for non-bio majors, so there's nothing too difficult. She posts audio and powerpoint lectures on Blackboard, which is very helpful, and she has clearcut weekly assignments. There are only 4 tests including the final. I only spent like 2-3 hrs / week

Awesome teacher! Do not listen to people that complain about not passing this course because they most likely did not study. Yes it is a hard class, but if you study enough you will pass. Also if you are going for nursing this class is obviously not going to be easy. I mean what did you expect? Her audio podcast will also help a lot.

Show up every day, take notes, and pay attention in class.

Her online podcast lectures are boring, but if you listen to them you will do very well. Her study guides are pretty much exactly what will be on the test, make sure to study our homework assignments as questions will be asked on those as well. Overall, put in the effort and you will be rewarded

Study her slides and notes and you'll do fine!

It is very important to listen to the podcasts. Study the homework, study guides, and podcasts. Caldwell gives good lectures and she will let you tape them. It's a lot of material, students don't do well because they don't want to put in the amount of work it takes to be successful. Don't expect to breeze through, work hard and you will do fine.

Don't be discouraged by what others say. Yes this class is hard, physiology will always be a lot of work and dedication, but getting an A in her class is totally possible. The textbook, I opened it maybe twice the entire semester. You NEED TO listen to the podcasts, attend lecture, and most importantly study her lecture notes and you will get an A.

Make sure to listen to the podcast and study the assigned homework and lecture notes she provides. Students who complain about this class aren't willing to put in the work. The class itself is difficult but getting a small study group and putting in the time will get you an A. Don't be discouraged by the negative things others say.

Professor Caldwell has a natural gift at explaining how the human body works. She stays up to date on new research. Material I could not understand at all, I can now explain to others. She is easy accessible to students. Be prepared to work diligently. Aspiring medical students, if you want to be prestigious , this is the class to take.

This professor has a soothing calm direct way of speaking. To me it is the best tone to use for long term retention, studies support this. For physiology she seems to be an expert in this field. She makes you think and go outside of the box. Not the easiest Bio class but probably the most informative. I learned so much this semester.

As long as you show up, listen in lectures and do her weekly homework (which are not hard, based mostly on lecture notes or articles) you will do fine. She provides outlines for her lectures as well as podcasts for each chapter. She also gives quizzes before each exam, in which she gives more than one extra credit question. Great teacher!!!

Prof Caldwell is easily one of my favorite professors. After transferring to a four year, I miss her intentionality. Her class is hard, but if you stay on top of studying, you will retain so much good info!

Just read the notes and listen to her podcasts and you'll do fine.
