She's a good teacher- but the subject is pretty hard. YOU HAVE TO STUDY
Very straightforward - great lectures. Expectations were clear. Great expreience, I would take a class from her again.
terrible
ms herking does not have a clue. i practically taught myself in this bio class. if you enjoy crappy notes, long boring labs, and teaching yourself. she's the professor (oops, i mean teacher) you should take. i myself like to learn something new to further my own knowledge and to move on in my academic career.i will never take another class from her
Ms. Herking may be hard, but she is interested in the subject, there is no guessing about what you need to know and it is very easy to get an A in her class if you put in the time to study!!! Her class prepared me for A&P 1 &2 and Microbiology, all of which I received an A in. She is worth the time!
Ms. Herking does an excellent job in explaining concepts through real life examples, this helps to grasp the material better. She makes it attainable for everyone to receive a high mark in her class and for those who fall short need only look at themselves.
Ms. Herking is an incredible teacher; she puts things in a material way that is easy to understand. She really seems to want for people to succeed. I really enjoyed her class and learned alot.
Mz H, as she likes us to call her, is a great teacher. She was very clear about her material and her class was very interactive. She always told us exactly what would be tested and what wouldn't be. Her class is hard, but that's the nature of A&P. I would suggest her to anybody.
She was real helpful, took a lot of time outside of class for extra help if we needed it. She stuck to the objectives and made sure she covered all of them in class and that we understood them.
Ms H is awesome. Her lectures incorporate real life explanations and situations with plain facts. Tests are straight from the objectives. Her lectures are fast, she packs so much information in them, so you must take quick notes or if you miss something, ASK! She will repeat. I received a high A in this class. I hope to take her for A+P.
She is a very good teacher and it seems like she loves science. She was easy to get along with and her teaching method is very good. The information and materials are absorbed unlike with some subjects and teachers. Overall I would have her as much as I could.
Ms. H. rocks. She is an amazing teacher and anyone who takes her is lucky. She goes fast but will take the time to go over anything you need help with.Easy to stay awake in an 8AM class. If you skip class a lot, don't take her.
Good teacher, breaks everything down for you
She is a very good teacher. She gives you good memory triggers to help you, but her tests are hard!
ms h is extremely annoying. she caters to retards. if you just want to highlight and memorize the material as opposed to learing the material she 's the one you should take. i'm there to learn not fill out stupid worksheets,puzzles and stupid exercises. i'm in college not the first grade. hated her class even though i got A's on all the tests.
She was irritating to me, I see why people enjoy her class she loves to get students "excited" with her, but I'm the type of person who wants to go to class learn and go home, I don't like the whole in your face lectures. Labs ALWAYS ran late and i hated that she took your points away if you didnt stay late even if you had another class to go to.
Very BAD teaching skills, couldn't answer a question unless the book was in front of her. Made up grades as she went along. Would have very little to nothing of what she read from the book on her test, or what she would say was going to be on the test. Information she would say to skip, would be on the test. You could miss the exact same answer
she does not write, note, tells you to read every chapter, all of it,you might be tested on it! always runs over class and lab! way to much info for time a lotted, I believe teacher should be paid by the success, low grade,high drop rate should mean little or no raise! performance that's how it is in the real world!
Mrs. Herking was a very nice high energetic teacher but she was also very hard. Very very hard. I think the only way people can pass that class is if they have no job and no kids and areable to study all day long or they are just genious!
Great teacher! Really a tough class but she has a very liberal grade scale. Allows for tons of bonus points usually 15 to 20 on each test. I highly recommend this prof.
She is absolutely wonderful. She is a little crazy but she is a great teacher and truly wants all her students to complete her class with a passing grade! her tests although are very tough!
If you show up to class everyday you have no reason not to pass. Her tests are on everything she talks about in class.
Very nice teacher, she explains the material very well and gives many hands on activities to help students learn. One thing I didn't like about it was the amount of material that had to be done in one week and was tested on the following monday. The tests were hard, definitely had to know the material well to pass the tests.
The best for making a clear picture of the kreb's cycle, CAMP cascade and circulatory system. Her mnemonics are still with me on the floor at the Cleveland Clinic for different cell types and hormonal communications systems.
One of the best teachers ever!! Loved her class Human and Disease... She made it very interesting.. Wonderful.. Awesome!!!!
Miss Herking is a wonderful teacher. She really knows the topics without needing a book in front of her. She explains it in a way that I remember a lot of what she said. She is very enthusiastic and definitely will wake you up. I would definitely take her again.
Terrible teacher,treats her students like kids.
The easiest Biology class that I have ever taken. Weekly quizzes, tests, and assignments. As long as you print off your powerpoint slides and the extra notes, you will do fine. Ms. "H" is one of the best Biology professors. Responds to emails quickly and is very helpful.
Good, fair instructor. VERY excited about teaching the material, and at first it comes off a bit corny until you realize that it's sincere enthusiasm.
Outstanding instructor. She is clear on the work she expects students to do, conducts a pre-test review session, and her office is always open to students. The one flaw with her class is that she isn't very receptive to feedback, which in itself is a very small thing anyways. I'd take her again if I needed anymore Health courses.
Attendance is an absolute must. She jumps all over the place and is extremely hard to follow, definately read what you think you might be going over next before hand. However, that is hard to do since she skips all over the book. Though tests are not ment to be extremely difficult they are. Labs are also somewhat disorganized and graded harder than
Very fair and enthusiastic instructor! She does move fast, but always keeps the class interesting! If you show up to class and take notes, there is no reason why you wouldn't pass. Highly recommended!
NOT GOOD, Shes hard to follow and will sometimes refuse to answer questions of students. Very intelligent but not a good "teacher".
Answers questions in a timely manner. Willing to work with you when problems arise,for ex. missed tests.Very interesting course. Really enjoyed it!!
Ms.H is very and enthusiastic and knows her stuff. She gives you a study guide for each test that she goes over. Oh and never let your cell ring during class..or bring drinks to lab..ever, lol.
This class is not easy, but she makes it interesting and is enthusiastic. Some peopele said she doesn't know her material, I felt she taught in way that only those well versed in the subject could. This class is tough but if you study hard at what she tells you to know, you'll be fine. I would, and have, take any class with her again.
A good class, online. There were some issues with test lockouts this quarter.If you read the material, you will do fine.
She teaches as if you are hearing it for the first time. She tries to make it as simple as possible which is great. Very enthusiastic and really knows her stuff. I would recommend her. Took hybrid online class, requires a lot of self learning if you have a handle on chemistry. But she is very quick to respond online and gets grades back quickly!
She is very fast paced, and has little patience. Otherwise she explains the material well, and offers many ways to earn points. I learned alot in the class but took some time to get used to her style of teaching, not for everyone.
I had her last quarter. She was very enthusiastic and made learning very fun. I really enjoyed her class. She gives you study guides for the tests and it helps very much when studying. She also gives you extra problems on the test which gives you lots of extra credit. I have to agree with the previous person. Don't eat or text in her class.
She is pretty awesome! thought I was going to do bad in this class, she made learning fun and made things easy to remember. Very good instructor! Will be taking her for Bio 3!
Ms. Herking is one of the best instructors I have ever had. Highly recommend her. You will learn a great amount and truly understand it. She is always willing to answer any questions you have and provides great examples along with the material. Tests are not bad as long as you study, there is opportunities to earn extra credit along the way.
One awesome professor. Mrs. H is the perfect combination of passion, personality,and performance. Not only is Mrs. H passionate about the subject, but also the students.She posesses an open,understanding,and approachable personality.she is a truly capable performer in the classroom.Such a flawless fusion of qualities is seldom found in one person
Ms. H is the best Bio teacher ever. She uses life experiences to relate everything she teaches so you understand. And has opporunities to earn extra credit sometimes. Her test, she usually lets you know ahead a time what you really need to focus on. Overall an excellent teacher.
Overall, Ms. H was outstanding; however, this was a hybrid course with an aggressive pace. That said, it is not for everyone. You need to commit a lot of time to learning on your own. She was more than willing to provide context and additional resources. For someone like me with a job and busy life though, this was a PERFECT fit. Thanks C-State!
Ms. H genuinely cares about the education of her students. The content of her course was very well organized and pertinant to learning goals.
Ms. H is a really good Techer there is a lot of work test every week but if u go to class and to assignment u will be fine
Ms. H is probably the best teacher I have ever had. She takes the time to make sure that everyone's understanding what she's laying down and makes very complicated things and makes them seem easy. I'm hoping that I get another chance to be in her class, she was amazing.
straight A+ students struggle due to this teacher she goes off topic an will spend half the class talking about random stuff not associated with class. She also will give you the study guide the day before the test. She will expect all students to not have lives an to spend entire term working on her assignments an not other classes.
Ms. H is probably the best teacher I have ever had. She takes the time to make sure that everyone's understanding what she's laying down and makes very complicated things and makes them seem easy. If you need a teacher who cares about students success, don't hesitate to pick her.
Ms. H is a great teacher very helpful. She gives out alot of work and extra ways to keep up a good grade.
Ms Herking was a very exciting teacher. She really get you interested in the course. She is also very helpful and she understand that you have a life that is unpredictable.
I attended the online hybrid course in CHE110 fundamentals of chemistry. Overall a good class! She is very helpful and fair with grading. Yes, the class is challenging and you have to meet Saturday mornings, but if you can do the online work and show up on Saturdays, you will be ok.
I really like her class, she is a great teacher plus she is funny. her class is not that easy but she explains everything realy well. there is a lot of material to cover but if you study you will be fine. i hope i can take classes with her next semester . one of the best teachers i ever have.
Mrs. H is one of the best teachers I have ever had. She goes out of her way to ensure you are successful in here class. Her teaching style is very visual which makes its easy and fun to learn. You can tell she is passionate about what she does and truly care about your success in class and for the future. She set up a great foundation to my future.
I really loved taking my class with Mrs. H. She went over her material very well and made sure everyone understood what was going on in the class. Her classes were very challenging. I usually got out of class about 10 late because she would still try and cover class material.
she is great i love the way she gives lecture, it is a lot of material and yes you need to study hard but she makes it easier
Love her. But Be Ready to study
Ms. H is an awesome teacher. You can tell she is very passionate and excited about her career. However, sometimes she gets agitated if you ask questions. She has her own agenda and does not like to be interrupted. Overall she is a great professor. She wants her students to be successful.
She was amazing. Gave great examples on how to remember information. She makes you know the material instead of having to memorize
I had Mrs. H for anatomy and physiology 2, and she was great. I have to admit, the first couple of weeks/ tests I didnt think I would survive her class but it gets better (trust me). She is definitely not an easy professor and makes you work for your grade. Mrs. H is always available to help you out or talk whenever you need her! Awesome teacher!
She has a very large, colorful personality. She definitely knows how to teach and keep the students awake in class. Her methods are superb. I'd take her class again.
I took chem 110. The hardest class I have ever taken till date. If I had another teacher, I'm pretty sure I would have either failed or dropped this class. She is very tough, but at the same time pushes you to do better. When you stumble, she tells you not to give up, to keep trying. Though this class was very hard, she is the best teacher ever!
She is absolutely incredible. I took her online class of Biology for my four year university and she was so understanding. I learned a lot that I wouldn't learn in lecture, did my assignments, and got an A. If you try, you're good. She is so quick for feedback. HIGHLY recommend. One of the best!
She has sense of human. Clarity and moral support to encourage students to work hard and harder. Always monitoring online assignment and mastery level for us to work ahead of time. In fact, She will make you worked for every grade. Last but not the least, Quick reply of e-mails.
Mrs. H was a homework giver. She gave homework like it was your only class. It was hard but if you do the homework you will get great grades on the tests. She tells you exactly what you need to know and is passionate about her job. She is not easy but if you work for the grade you will get it. By far the best professor I've ever had.
Professor H is hands down the best professor I have ever had! She wants you to succeed and gives you the tools to do so. I enjoyed lectures and she helps you understands the material instead of memorizing information. I wish she would have taught AP1. There is a lot of homework, but it definitely helps you understand the information!
very hard.. good for lecture but test are very hard. Almost 100 questions and she includes pictures. Lots of homework. Expected to learn the entire chapter. Her test are multiple choice, True and False, and Matching questions. I had to record her lecture but still I wasn't passing her class.
Ms. H. Is devoted to her students. She gives every opportunity to succeed. Take advantage of every single extra credit point you can. Always attend lecture and lab. Keep up. You will learn a lot from her lectures. She really teaches the entire time you are in lecture and lab. A terrific professor.
Heavy material but great teacher. Ms. Herking is able to break down hard concepts in different ways for different people. She gives multiple chances to make up work, and is always available for tutoring outside class. But others are right. Skip class, no chance. She is also one of the most genuinely caring teachers I've had.
There is a lot of homework and sometimes it is hard to keep up with the work load. Very understanding and helpful if personal issue arise during the course. Fair grade but a lot of work.
She made very clear what was expected of you in your assignments and tests. She gave good feedback to discussion board topics. I've had a couple of profs that gave no feedback to discussion boards. She kept up with posting your grades on a timely basis, so you always knew where you were grade wise throughout the semester.
Definitely knows her stuff. I feel like I learned a lot from this class but unfortunately it doesn't reflect on my test grades. I was a straight A student in A&P 1. I got D's on EVERY test in Herkings class for A&P 2. Too much material in short amount of time. Test - 3 lectures - another test. TOO MUCH. She's also very rude to students.
Professor Herking was my favorite teacher at Cincinnati state. In Lab she was the most helpful than any other teacher I have ever had by far. She prepares you unlike any other teacher I have had in any science class. she will challenge you and prepare you for the next level of your education. If you put in the work you will not regret taking her.
Nothing nice to say.
Hardest class of my life. The tests were super difficult. Mrs. H is very caring and wants to see EVERYONE finish her class. She will work with you; gave me plenty of new study tips and I utilized them and found what improved my test grades by 10% each time. Must attend class to pass. She is very humorous and entertaining for lectures.
You will come out with so much more
Ms. Herking is a wonderful teacher. She has been a joy in my college career. I would recommend her to any student.
Good course and instructor. Lots of repetition for easy learning. Quick to reply when help is needed.
Professor Herking is a fantastic teacher. While learning A&P2 she gets you to begin looking at the material from a clinical perspective. This will prepare you to be not only well prepared for your program, but also for the real world. Go to class, do the homework which by the way will make the material make SO MUCH SENSE to you.
First attempt taking this class at another college got a D. Susan helped me get an A. Amazing professor. Can be blunt and easily clash with personalities, but definitely worth it. She truly wants to see her students pass and succeed throughout college.
Loved her! One of the best Ive had and Ive taken many college courses. Truly cares about students and helping them succeed. Highly recommend!
She is an amazing teacher but is very sarcastic and makes crazy remarks but if you just look at it as your coming to learn and not be a friend to her then you will get a lot out of the course and she is a great teacher in that right, but not as approachable. Would be great as a clinical teacher.
Ms. Herkig is a great teacher. She pulls you in and explains the material well. Has lots of hands on things. Gives out great study help materials. Would take any class she was teaching. She really puts the material together.
Susan Herking is by far the best instructor I have had in the 2 years I have been at Cincinnati State. Ms. Herking is thorough, passionate, and really wants her students to know the material and succeed in the class. Ms. Herking always had hints or tricks to help the students remember the content. Her class was tough but I am so glad I took it.
Super nice lady!! This class is tuff. Get ready to put in lots of hours of work. Mrs. H is always willing to help if you have questions.
Ms. Herking is an amazing teacher. The could connect to her any day any time. She was always open to discussion boards and collaborate sessions. Ms. Herking wanted all her students to do well. She was very patient with us. I appreciated what she did to help me. Thank you
Although a good individual, wouldn't recommend this professor to my worst enemy. AP is hard in itself, you don't need to a stressful prof to top that off. She's a tough grader, and anytime you ask her what's important, she will look into your eyes and say "everything" like that will help me go through a 70 page chapter.
Mrs. Herking was my A&P 2 professor for this spring semester. One of the reasons why I like Mrs Herking is because she respected my IEP. My other professors did not give me extra time when it came to test and quizzes, but Mrs. H allowed it. She is also good about giving feedback when she grades your test and quizzes.
Very hard to know what she wants on tests but wants you to succeed. She respected my accommodations and was willing to go above and beyond to help me.
Ms. H is very caring and I always sensed she wanted me to be the best I could be. I struggled with the amount of mate
