I am a returning student. I absolutley hate science, no matter what kind it is. Dr. Stoulig made it interesting. Being a returning student, it is sometimes hard to balance a full time job, school, and a home life. She is extremely understanding and willing to work with you on just about anything. If there is a way for her to help, she will.

She is a very good teacher and very helpful. She's a much better pick than Dick Miller. She relates things to medicine and more to humans than Dr. Miller and his stupid plants. She is a good pick and if you go to class everyday you will do just fine, I got an A just by going to class and working hard.

She is my fav. teacher at Southeastern. All of her slides (which she actually teaches from) are posted on blkbrd before we go over them in class. If you have any ?'s at all, you can go to her office and she will explain/help with whatever it is. She does review ?'s after each chapter & exam reviews before each exam. Her tests are hard, but fair.

She is very nice, however she is extremely unorganized. She always waited till right before class to post grades. She was even a hour late starting our Mid-term because she was not prepared.

Dr. Turley is a sweet teacher. She is always enthusiastic about teaching. You HAVE to go to class, take notes, and print out powerpoints.

Do not take her online. The class is fasted paced and the test are +70 questions that you will only ave 2 hours to take. Two hours if not enough time. She does give a little bonus at the end of the semester which is not a lot. With the test, you cannot simply google the answers, trust me. In order to pass this class, prepare to read your butt off.
