I think dr. magrann is a very good teacher. she tries really hard to get u interested in the subject. She wants u to do well. not an easy class though but she makes it easier. she is a new teacher and is very open-minded. i am glad i had her as a teacher for anatomy.
Dr. Magrann is a wonderful anatomy professor! (she's also an actual medical doctor). I really appreciated how she goes out of her way to help students, with lecture notes and labeled anatomy pictures on her website. I felt like she wanted her students to succeed! She also has a dry, hilarious sense of humor.
Wonderful teacher-her top priority was making certain each student had what they needed to succeed. Very easy to talk to. Lectures were interesting & easy to go through. I feel very fortunate to have taken her class. She removed a lot of the stress from Anatomy!
All the other horror stories of insane anatomy teachers do not apply to her!!!! THIS IS A HARD CLASS--- but she makes it EASY. I walked away with memorization skills I will use the rest of my life! This teacher is ALWAYS on time, well planned lecture, clear in teaching, provides lecture transcripts, pp slides and ALWAYS willing to help.
Dr. Magrann was the best Anatomy teacher anyone could hope for. She knows the subject well and knows how to teach it. She truly wants all of her students to get A's and understands how to get them there.
Dr. Magrann is one of the most accessible, down to earth and well-prepared professors I've had. She always seemed to be in tune with her students' needs/concerns; you can tell she wants you to learn the material. She used to be a doctor, which I thought made the lectures interesting. And her anatomy website is definitely worth spending time at!
Clear and helpful. She is one of the best professors at Saddleback. I wish she taught more classes but she is part time. I learned so much and worked hard to get my A. Love her!!!
Dr Magrann in an amazing, down to earth teacher who teaches and doesn't just lecture to hear herself talk!
Supportive. Wants you to succeed and knows how to get you there. Always choose her when you have a choice.
Dr.Magrann was very helpful during lecures and lab. She explained very clearly and was very thorough in her lectures. She is an awesome professor.
she's one of a kind. very helpful,hardworking, encouraging and very patient to her students. i drive 40 miles away just to go to her class and it's all WORTH it. she should teach more science classes. she's the best teacher I've ever had!
You'd be a fool to take anyone else because she is the best professor at Saddleback, PERIOD!! She is new to our school and I just wish she taught more classes. Very organized and says exactly what she expects from students.
The BEST ANATOMY PROFESSOR..honestly this class is a lot of work, but she is the best because she knows how to explain everything. She is so nice an is always willing to help. I highly recommend her, anatomy is a hard subject and dont get me wrong you do have to study A LOT, but with her is easier and understandable. Needs to be hired full time!!!
Dr.Magrann not only teaches Anatomy, but she will also teach you study skills that will help you succeed in future courses(just follow her example on what she does for you on her lectures & labs handouts in future classes). Anatomy is alot of work, but put effort in you should be able to get at least a B(show up to class, pay attention and study!)
You MUST take this professor! She is wonderful! I am still taking this course but I feel the need to share with others how terrific she is. The class does cover alot, be prepared to study. Great power point lectures, labs are hands on, instructs on how to study to be successful on tests, a website full of info. Very approchable and kind. Take her!
She is by far the best! I drove an hour away just to take her! Beyond on worth it. Its alot of info but thats anatomy. study hard and you will do great. there are no surprises with this class, either you learn the info or you dont. the class is hard but she is great!
Dr. Magrann is the best professor I have ever had! She is an excellent instructor, VERY helpful and she really wants her students to do well. The class itself requires a lot of studying, but it is EXTREMELY interesting. If you need to take Anatomy. you MUST take Dr. Magrann - you will NOT be disappointed. Dr. Magrann is awesome - good luck!
Dr. Magrann is the best teacher I have ever had she is always willing to help in anyway possible she loves her students and is always available. She responds to emails quick. Dont get me wrong this is a hard class and you have to study but she makes it fun. There are no tricks she tells you what she wants... make lots of flash cards!!
Dr. Magrann is the best. She is SOO helpful and uses easy or real life examples to explain anatomical structures in a way anybody can understand. She isn't on a power trip - meaning she wants her students to succeed!! TAKE THIS TEACHER
Dr. Magrann was such a joy as a professor, the least cranky teacher I've ever met. Anatomy was fascinating!! We learned all we needed to and more...it was never drudgery/boring. She gave us the pertinent details, only what was truly essential. A novel concept--She takes as much pleasure in our success as we do. Take Dr. Magrann or you're an idiot!
Just finished anatomy with Magrann. What an amazing teacher. Anatomy is not an easy class, but Magrann makes sure that you learn the whole time. You don't waste time with "busy work". She goes above and beyond any professor I have EVER had. She goes out of her way to make sure that the experience you get is great, and that you know all you need to.
She is the absoulte BEST! This class is hard, but she tells you and gives you exactly what you need to pass. If you study what she tells you, you can easily get an A. This was my third time taking Anatomy and I got 100%. She made everything understandable and easy to learn. I loved her! You are only hurting yourself if you dont take her. TAKE HER!
She's fabulous. The best teacher ever.
I've never had a teacher as good as Dr. Magrann! Anatomy is a difficult subject and can often be overwhelming. Dr. Magrann's course is fully organized and she has all her resources easily accesible online. She ALWAYS responds to emails and will answer any questions you have. Her grading is beyond fair. I learned so much!
The best teacher EVER. If you don't take her your dumb. Very helpful and answers your questions and them some.
Dr. Magrann is an awesome professor...she is very fair, and doesn't load you down with useless information. Anatomy can be very tough, but Dr. Magrann makes everything very relevant and presents the information clearly. She has a wity sense of humor, too - you'll want to go to class! Take her!

Magrann is the best Anatomy professor in OC. She is totally clear and straightforward. Anatomy is a lot of material, but she gives you everything you need to learn all of it and get an A. She's one of the best professors I've ever had. Everyone who took her class is totally prepared to go on to the next step.

She?s very thorough about her teaching, and always answering any questions.
Amazing teacher! Extremely helpful, provides a comprehensive website that has all the info you'll need for class. 4 lecture tests, 4 lab practicums, 4 quizzes & opportunity for extra credit. Makes learning anatomy fun! Has a real gift for relating to her students by using real life examples. Very responsive to questions, posts grades same day.

Really cares about her students. Def take her class if you want to be well prepared for a career in the medical field! Her lectures are interesting and very helpful.Hurry and enroll!
The class material is challenging, but this teacher is very fair
The class itself is hard because of the amount of information that you need to retain for each exam/lab practicum;however, Dr. Magrann has all the tools you need to succeed online at her website, all the powerpoints for class an labs are there, plus she has flashcards ready for each subject in the class, Awesome, right? I recommend her!
Dr Magrann has a great website to retrieve info. but I do not recommend you take her class. She has a ton of mistakes on her lecture notes and her tests and she doesn't always give you credit if you get it wrong. I barely got a B and could've had a much better grade if she hadn't made so many mistakes. Don't frustrate yourself.
Dr magrann is the best professor I ever had. She is very helpful and I strongly recommend her for anatomy. She is a medical doctor and uses her knowledge and abilities to teach anatomy and make this class easier for students to understand. But don't get me wrong, this class is very HARD and you need to study alot for it.
One of the best instructors i've ever had.
I love Dr. Magrann! I took her class last semester and now I have the pleasure of aiding in her Friday night class. I didn't quite appreciate her as much as I should've. I must have emailed her 20 times a week with different questions. She always replied right back with an answer. She tests straight from her PPS, so you always know exactly wh
She is very straight forward and always answers questions via internet. If there was a mistake on the test she always corrected it. She was the best and I miss having her as a teacher!! Teach Physio. soon...incase I have to take it over!! Love love love her!!! Love aiding for her too.
Best professor I have ever had! She goes above and beyond teaching and never is boring!! She also gives you all the tools you will need to succeed and an A. you have to put the work in. It is a lot of material, but doable. I have one more final and I am done. She will be missed! I hope to have her in another class. :-)
I highly recommend Dr. Magrann's class. She is smart and approachable and wants you to succeed. Her tests are straight from her lectures and she maintains an awesome web site. She answers her emails and posts test grades right away. The course is taught in a clear and concise fashion, and the labs were fun and interesting. Thank you Dr. Magrann!
Dr. Magrann is the best teacher ever! She is very helpful and the exams are very fair. If you put in the time to study you will definitely have an A. She is very easy to talk to and replies all the emails very promptly.
She's the best. The class is a lot of work, but it's the most clearly constructed I've ever taken. If you put in the time, you won't be disappointed. She's a super cool lady who has a passion for helping her students succeed. It's a no brainer.
Dr Magrann was the best professor that I have ever had. She is hilarious, smart, and very fair. Use her website, everything you need to succeed is on there. She goes over anything you dont understand until you do. Also very prompt with her emails. Highly , highly recommended.
Best teacher ever. Just go over the flash cards she provides and an easey A for the lecture tests. Lab is a little more work but it is just all memory type work. If you can remember bones and muscles the rest is a piece of cake.
She is seriously, one of a kind. I know that I will NEVER meet another professor like her. She is very helpful and she is very patience with all her students. She does not force ANY rules but yet, all her students WILL give her the respect that she well deserves. I love her so much! you will NEVER sleep during her lectures!!!! she is hilarious!!!!
She's the best teacher I've had! I learned so much in her class. You will cover a lot of material and will need to do your part to study. The best thing about Dr Magrann is that she gives you the tools you need to succeed with the clairity of her lectures and her wonderful website.She cares about her students and is well respected. GREAT TEACHER!
If you want an A in anatomy, take it with Dr. Magrann! The class isn't EASY, but Dr. M will give you the tools you need to do well and as long as you do some studying, you WILL get an A. Dr. M is one of the best professors I have ever had, and she obviously truly cares about her students. She is extremely knowledgeable about medicine in general.
Dr. Magrann is the best! She gives you all of the tools you need to get an A in the class. She offers extra credit a number of times throughout the semester and is very approachable. As long as you study, you will get at least an A. She is a must for nursing majors!!
Dr. Magrann is an excellent professor. She cares about her students and bends over backwards to make sure they are prepared for her class and their future. I would highly recommend her.

She is very helpful, friendly, fair to all, and responds to your questions or needs promtly. She wants u to success and u have to study to get an A. Definitely take her class.
I am just so angry! why isn't she teaching more classes!!!!!!! when I heard that her job at saddleback didn't get her to teach physio, I said SADDLEBACK COLLEGE was the dumbest school for not giving her the job she deserves. If she could be my teacher through college. I swear, I can become a doctor in matter of few years. I LOVE HER
Dr. Magrann is such a good teacher. She gives you everything you need to know you just have to put in the time to learn everything. My fav was her lectures on lecture soo interesting. Her flashcards totally use them cuz their really helpful. Best prof ever.
This is my first time taking her class, and so far it has been my favorite. She makes it easy to understand and is very straight forward in teaching. Anatomy is not an easy class, but she makes it as easy as possible for one to learn and understand. Many students get A's which means she is very good at teaching.
The best teacher i ever had. Biology isn't that hard when you have a great teacher like her.
Dr. Magrann is the best professor in the world!
Perhaps one of the BEST professors I have ever had. She really cares about her students, and has helped me so much this semester! I WISH she could teach Physio, the way that she teaches and helps students learn is simply amazing, and cannot be duplicated by just any teacher. Take Dr Magrann and you will learn SO much, and have fun along the way!
Dr. Magrann has to be the best teacher I have ever had. She makes class so enjoyable to attend, and her test are exactly from her flash cards she has on her website. Study the flash cards for the lecture, and you will get an A. Lab was very easy as well, her mock practicums are exactly how the test will be. Take her, and study, and get an A.
She is the best teacher I ever had. I went to 4 year university and I never enjoyed any of my classes until now. She made the class so enjoyable and fun. Anatomy is not easy but she made it possible. I have such a respect for her. Dr if you are reading this can u plz teach physio in fall! luv u :)
Dr Magrann is the perfect example every other teacher should follow. She is clear, straightforward, & prepares you exceptionally well for the exams. I wish I could have her for all my classes.
the best professor i ever had. she is so wonderfull.
I love Dr Magrann. She is incredibly smart, and sweet. She is very clear, and will answer any question you have about the human body. With her this hard class will be fun!
*** TAKE HER *** You will not regret it. She gives you all of the tools you need to get an "A" in this class. She does all the work, all you have to do is study. You don't need the text book, she supplies everything you need and then some. BEST INSTRUCTOR, wish she taught all of the sciences. Very helpful, wonderful person. Love her!!
The BEST professor! Other professors actually recommend her website for her material. Dr.Magrann prepares you extently for all lab practicles and lecture exams. Wish she taught other pre-nursing subject at Saddleback.
Dr Magrann is the BEST professor I have ever had. She is so sweet and helpful. If you put in the time to get a great grade, she gives you the tools to succeed. Every study guide she gives you is EXACTLY the same as the questions on the test. It takes a lot of effort and a great amount of studying, but she gives you EVERYTHING you need to pass!!!!
Not an easy class, but Dr. Magrann made it doable with her organization and clear love of teaching.
I've been truly fortunate to be Dr. Magrann's student. I enjoyed her anatomy class immensely. The class itself is very demanding, but she is willing to assist all of her students and she welcomes any suggestions. She is the most respectable and understanding teacher--truly so incredible, brilliant, and amazing!!!
Dr. Magrann is the best professor. Anatomy is a hard class BUT she made it so manageable! I enjoyed it very much! I specifically took her because I heard amazing things and it was so worth it. She's very understanding. She's worth taking a weekend class for all the other classes seemed to really struggle and wished they had her! Haha
Great teacher with an amazing outlook on life. You do not need to purchase a textbook for her class she makes flashcards for her students, the flashcards are the test questions, study those and you will be fine. The only advice I have is don't fall behind because there's a lot of information. She has every tool available for you to get an A.
She is the BEST professor ever! I loved going to class (except the cats REALLY sink) but after that it was awesome. You learn so much & Dr.Magrann is super helpful. If you put in the time she is there for you all the way. Good luck!
Best professor ever! This is obviously her calling.
She's very helpful and approachable to her students. Anatomy is not an easy class but she tries to make the materials simple enough for students to understand. I really enjoyed the class. :D Take her class if you have not taken Anatomy yet!!^^
Dr. Magrann is the most helpful professor I have ever had at Saddleback!! Anatomy is NOT an easy subject and there is ALOT to memorize but she presents the material in a way that keeps you from being overwhelmed. She is ALWAYS available to help and she really wants her students to succeed. My best experience so far at Saddleback!!
She's the greatest. She really wants her students to succed.
She's the best professor Iv'e ever had.
Amazing professor! I highly recommend. Anatomy is difficult and there is a lot of memorization required and I wouldn't recommend taking more than 12 units with this course. Most of ur time will be studying materials but with Magrann's effective teaching and clarity, u can succeed in this course if u do apply yourself. An A is possible but make sure to stay on top of ur studies, when u get behind its very difficult to catch up. Magrann is a must for anatomy! Favorite teacher at Saddleback
Tracey has been by far the best professor I have had at Saddleback. I am now in the Nursing program and use her tactics all the night.
DR. Magrann is by far the best teacher I ever had. Stick to her outline and do your homework. If you put forth the time you will get an A. She cares about her students and does everything she can to help you succeed. Teachers like her are a rare find!
Dr. Magrann is hands down the best professor! She really wants her students to succeed and will make every effort to help, but you must do the work! I was amazed at how much info I could memorize. I wish she taught more prereq's for the nursing program.
She was probably the best professor I've had, she was very approachable, knowledgeable and straightforward! She let you know from the beginning what she expected of her students and did everything she could to help us achieve our personal goals. She was amazing and I recommend her to everyone looking to take a science class!
The best professor I've ever had
I am a health care professional and had to re-take Anatomy because the last time I took it was 18 years prior. Dr. Magrann is very helpful and made learning about Anatomy easier, especially compared to my previous instructor. The class was centered on understanding Anatomy and not just memorizing.
The best instructor ever.
Dr. Magrann is the greatest and knowledgeable professor I have ever had. Anatomy is not easy at all, but she helps students to enjoy this course and prepares everything that you need to know. I absolutely recommend anyone to take her class to succeed.
Dr. Magrann is the perfect teacher to have for Anatomy because she truly works hard to help her students understand the human body and its functions. She is straightforward and not full of surprises! I have learned more in one semester than in 2 years as a bio major at CC.
the best
Dr. Magrann makes anatomy class interesting that she would show her students the latest technology, such as medical devices (she would bring an medical-artificial eye that can used on a patient to class, on the day she's having lecture about eye). She would show her students medical surgeries (heart operation, lasik surgery, cataract surgery etc)
Dr. Magrann has been one of the most caring, kind and helpful teachers I had ever had. Her materials are extremely organized and easy to follow. She is very helpful in class and very understanding. She has a very big heart and her only intention is to help students pass the course with a good grade and not just pass. I recommend her 100%.
Took her last year for Anatomy and it was the best class ever! She made me really love the subject! The only thing is that some students were grouping together and collaborating on the exams which is not right for the rest of us! I got an A though all on my own. I would highly recommend her because she knows her subject thoroughly.
Awesome professor! You have no excuses to not excel in her class. No matter what type of learner are you- she's got the appropriate materials for you to study. She is one of a kind. Very inspiring and keeps students motivated . you always know where you stand when it comes to grades - very straight forward. love her.
This professor is the best I've ever had. The material is not easy but she gives you all the tools you need to learn, all you have to do is put the time into it. I recommend taking her classes whenever possible, you will not regret it.
If you are lucky enough to get a seat in her class, you will not be sorry! It is not an easy class but Anatomy is not an easy subject. You have to put in a lot of study time but she will give you the tools you need to succeed. She is very nice,helpful & knowledgeable. She's the best professor at Saddleback. Take her!
highly recommended
Dr.Magrann is one of the best professor that I have ever had. She is fare enough in grading. The Anatomy class is not easy. A lot of things you have to memorise, but she makes every subjects more understandable.This class does not mean that you are going to get A easily,you must study hard.Her website is amusing.Take this class.
In general, Anatomy is not an easy class. there is a lot of memorization, but she is a very organized professor. Her lectures and flash cards are the best source to study. She is a nice lady; I recommend her class.
she is an amazing teacher this class is hard class but she is so organized and make a flash card for student that help a lot .my wish was that she could teach physio and micro in saddlebeck.
Great Professor! Loves to teach and helps students both inside and outside of the classroom by providing networking opportunities and resources. Easy class if you memorize everything on flashcards.
Anatomy is not easy, but Dr. Magrann makes it doable. Tests are straight off powerpoints. Responds right away to emails. Very caring and helpful. You still have to study a fair amount to make an A but it is so easy with her powerpoints. Take her!
Dr. M was amazing. I can actually say that she was the best prof I've ever had. She was very helpful and her website was extremely the best study tool I've ever had. I attended class 95% of times and used the lab hours to help with the exams . Loves the class and Dr. M
Dr.Magrann knows how to get the students to study, she provides great tools. She is very knowledgeable approachable and strightforword
shes great!

Being an average student wanting to do nursing, I was PETRIFIED to take anatomy. last year in HS, I got a C in physioanatomy but in her class, i had a 97%. The subject matter is not easy (when is science ever easy) but prof. magrann structures it in a way that is most productive. SHE IS THE BEST TO TAKE ANY CLASS WITH.her students are #1 for her
Dr. Magrann is the best Biology teacher in the U.S. She makes Human anatomy fun, easy and doable. Taking her is a must and you will not regret it. Just show up to class and study all her flashcards on her website and you will get an A. There is no other teacher who gives you everything you need to pass a class. So take her and you won't regret!
Awesome professor, really straight forward and to the point. She provides you with every resource required to succeed.
Dr. Magrann's style of teaching is very organized & clear to understand. I attempted taking Anatomy last year but struggled understanding the book assigned. Dr. Magrann teaches from from PowerPoints which helped me absorb the info. easier & faster. It would be FANTASTIC if Dr. Magrann could teach Microbiology & Physiology. Best Professor Ever!
She is a fantastic teacher! I will take her for any subject she teaches. Very helpful with a very good teaching method. Study the flash cards and you will be fine!
She is the best professor I've ever taken in my years at SB. Her lectures are extremely helpful and her notes are very clear. Questions are always given a clear explanation. Passed the class with an A. TAKE HER! SERIOUSLY! Thank me later, you won't regret it!
She is definitely one of the best professors I've ever had! She really cares about her students and is always willing to answer questions! Her lectures are actually interesting and they don't make you fall asleep!
This class is not easy. I felt that Professor Magrann wanted everyone to pass. She gave us clear guidelines in class in how to achieve our grades. There were no surprises. She gave us awesome flash cards, concise PowerPoint's. She is the best teacher I have had at Saddleback.
I think this was the first time she taught Bio 20 but she did a great job. I learned so much from her class. She uses flash cards on her website and whatever is on the flash cards are on the test. So always study the flash cards. She is clear in her lectures, her lab section was kind of difficult but as long as you study your labs you will do good.
one of the great Science Prof in Saddleback, vey straightforward in her teaching style, wishing that she would teach Physio and Micro as well. She makes difficult class interesting and understandable. If you want to learn a lot, I highly recommend her. She will always remind you of a better study habit.
I have tsken this class twice before and failed with other professors but she made the class interesting and very straightforward. You would have to try to fail this class it is so easy and she lets you know exactly what to do and how to do well. Love her!
Dr. Magrann is an amazing Professor. I just took her for BIO 20 and I loved her. Her lectures are engaging and informative and the exams and quizzes are only on flashcards that she give you at the beginning of the semester. Study the flashcards, attend all labs and lectures, and you will get an easy A.
100% recommend her, She is such a great professor, she cares about the students and she is helpful, i wish she has Anatomy and physio as well.
The professor is very helpful when helping her students understand a complex concept by providing simple examples.
Class is VERY straight forward and her lectures are very interesting! She really cares about her students. Take her!! Best bio class I've ever taken.
Best class I've taken! Professor Magrann is very organized and helpful. She tells you exactly what you need to know and provides you with helpful tools to pass the class. If you do your assignments and study for tests, you'll do great!
tests and quizzes are all from the flash cards which makes the class so much easier
Such a good professor. Super easy and helped students out tremendously. For tests she gave you flash cards to study and all test questions came from the flash cards. If you want an easy and fun class take Magrann!
seriously the best teacher i've had at saddleback! she is so sweet and understanding. her lectures are super interesting and the class is loads of fun! TAKE HER!
Love this teacher, she is very clear and is very quick on responding to your concerns or questions. Her way of teaching in sections and providing flashcards made it more helpful to learn and undersand. The semester goes by swiftly and you catch interest in her lectures.Take her she's great.
Dr. Magrann is by far the best teacher that I have ever had. She made passing biology (I have never taken any bio before) so easy. I really want to take her for any other classes that I possibly can. She uses flashcards to study for the tests, and the questions are directly from the cards. I loved this class so much, she is extremely helpful!!
Take her!!! I was so scared to take thais class because before when I had taken bio I hated it and didn't do well. Tracey's is very clear and the study guides are spot on to what is on the test. The study guide is long but if you put the time to study it you will get an A.
I adore Dr. Magrann. I don't care what it is if she is available, you take her class.
Dr. Magrann is the Best professor ever, is clear, inspirational, and extremely intelligent. If you can get into her class do take her.
Good teacher, Easy A
Flashcards are easy to prepare to exams. Her goal is to help us to pass National Board exam.
This class is well structured and organized.
Amazing Professor! She is THE BEST PROFESSOR ive ever taken! She took what could have been a very difficult class(clinical microbiology) and made it manageable. Her lectures are as short and to the point as possible. She gives a clear picture on what to study for test. she took a dying program and brought it back to life. Best professor ever!
Dr. Magrann always keeps you in the know, whenever she gets new info she'll immediately pass it on to her students. She responds to emails very quickly outside of school hours. Not a lot of homework given, but gives plenty of study material that you actually need to put time into.
Dr Magrann not only has high knowledge and experience in the field and share it with students, also with a great sense of responsibility and kindness she searches and gives the information and gudes us step by step to be prepare for internshipe. she is in permanant contact with her students to give them the latest information and news.
thank you Dr. Magrann I enjoyed to be in your class.
Great teacher! She devotes to her job and her students. Professional and has a great responsibility to her work. As someone said, she does revive a dying a program. Great w emailing. Quick on passing the new info as soon as she knows. Making studying for 3 major and 1 GE classes a do-able thing. Recommend her to any class she teaches.
As long as you show up for class, pay attention, and take note you will do well.
She is an amazing professor! The topic is not easy but she is vey clear & helpful . I highly recommend taking her class .
Dr. Tracey Magrann is a passionate and creative professor. Her lectures are engaging and captivating with lecture materials systematically organized and simplified; this makes studying easy and encouraging. Dr. M. is always available to help. Her method of grading is clear. She is very resourceful, resilient, patient, inspiring and accommodating.
Easy if you can do all the discussion. Questions, quiz, and study for tests. Discussion questions can be quite time c9nsuming.
Do the assigned reading and there's weekly quizzes and discussion board.
awesome!!
Learned a ton. Helped me become a strongER medical scribe in the ED
Professor magrann is a really good teacher who is definitely putting in a lot of effort and trying to help her students do well. She puts in a lot of time answering questions and gives extra credit because the in person tests are somewhat difficult. You do learn a lot but it all depends on how much effort you want to put in.
Love Dr. Magrann. She did an excellent job. Would like more critical thinking questions. Otherwise, she is very helpful in pushing and reminding students to do their very best.
Her teaching style is straight forward, clearly, well prepared exams, saving a lot of time for students to study. This class is a Healthcare one, so it requires a lot of memorization than critical thinking. She is an intelligent professor; Knowledge on teaching topics and teaching directly to the point. I wish she can teach all MLT courses.
Excellent program director.
The class Hematology is very challenging in lecture and labs. I really enjoyed reading the textbook, I have learned a lot in laboratories for example, blood smear, ABO blood typing. But my interested is doing blood smear for diagnosis malaria.
This class was very informative and really gives you a great understanding of not only the medical terms but also dives into the anatomy, physiology and diseases associated with the human body.
The class was very informative and useful if you go further into health care programs. I took anatomy class at Coastline Community and I loved her very much. I aced every test just by studying flashcards from her website. Highly recommended!
Great professor - one of the best I've taken so far at Saddleback.
this is one of the best professor I've never met before. She is really nice, helpful and friendly. highly recommend to take her class
Communicates well. She was willing to change certain things to make things a little more easier for example she got rid of due dates on the quizzes so that people would be less likely to miss an assignment/fall behind. All in all, I would take her class again.
Great Professor!!!
Really nice professor.
Dr. Magrann is a very helpful professor
Very nice, organize, helpful learn a lot.
Very helpful, nice, clear lecture.
Although the class is easy you still have to study and work for the grade you want. If you bomb one lab exam, you still have a potential to get a B which happened to me.
Get ready to study
Study, study, study and study
Great teacher! Super helpful with the material. Gives plenty of resources for studying the material. Really cares about student success and what she is teaching. She keeps the class fun and engaging! Easy A for sure and you learn some pretty cool stuff too!
This was my first online course. I was nervous about it after reading about other teachers not responding or in a timely manner. However, with Dr. Magrann you do not have to worry at all! She always responded immediately and answered all my questions thoroughly. Her grading is clear and an easy A if you do the work and follow directions.
Took her Medical Terminology class online over the Summer. You are required to learn a lot of terms and definitions. If you want an A, you must study a lot. She gives you all the terms and definitions in handouts which is very helpful because you know exactly what to study. We also had a 3 discussion posts a week (1 post and 2 replies).
Very clear syllabus. Follow the instructions, and know what you need. Her flashcards are awesome. Online is the way to go for this class.
Very easy class! Just do all the assignments online/exams online. Pass the final with a C or better and you'll get an A! Also do the extra credit! The syllabus stated that the book is needed but I didn't even use my book. I would rent instead of buying the book.
Straightforward and helpful. Wants to see students succeed.
I took the online summer class. I liked it a lot, It's helping me in other classes as well. The quizet app is really helpful.
Just take her lecture already. Period.
The Professor is very organized and emails us promptly and efficiently if we have questions. If you study on a weekly basis just about every day, this class is very doable and you actually learn and retain a wealth of information for Medical Terminology. I would take another online class with her in the future!
I enjoyed the class with Prof. Our class was wonderful. She made the class easy to distribute the whole book in a quizzes and exams that was very helpful to get absorbed the huge material.
Everyone has positive things to say about Dr. Magrann. She is supportive, and insightful with flash cards and PPT. Wants her students to succeed.
The flashcards were really helpful in managing the course and revising before the exams! Dr. Magrann is really helpful and caring.
I really like her. Her quizlets and flashcards are the best! It helped me a lot with studying for quizzes and exams. My two courses with Dr. Magrann has been the best classes I've ever had.
Good professor! She makes sure you know the information and she gives very informative lectures that will come in handy! Advice to future students print her lectures you will need it when you go out in the medical field.
Anatomy is not an easy class, but Dr. Magrann makes the class understandable and enjoyable. She discusses interesting topics that holds the students attention and adds in funny jokes and topics to break the ice and keep the class interesting and not boring. The flash cards are so helpful for the tests and quizzes.
She is very clear and concise. She provides you opportunities to succeed, if you are a serious student. The only way to fail is not doing the work and not studying the terms. Her flashcards and quizlets are your best tool as far as studying goes! Understand the words, break them down, you are more likely to remember the terms this way. Fav teacher!

Dr. Magrann is a fabulous professor! She is the only professor that replies back within one day. She is a dedicated professor and helps her students achieve! Try to take some time and read her bio/awards received. She offers quizlet flashcards and has a website with helpful information! Thank you for a wonderful experience & would take her again!
Because it was online Medical Terminology, we had to do weekly discussion boards with 2 responses. This class is not a lot of work, just tedious. Prof. Magrann has clear directions & responds to emails promptly. I suggest looking over all exams & do the practice final exam before taking the final (proctored online).
- Professor responds promptly to emails & is super caring - disc. boards, quizzes, 3 midterms, 1 cumulative final (look at other reviews on how to study) - tedious work, but you can get ahead - recommend cross-referencing quizlet flashcards with the ones under the lec. slides as bolded parts can be different - can find a pdf of txt online
Comprehensive final worth 44% of grade. DB's are all the same question and need to be exact. Teacher says "Study for 30 min during every mealtime and before bed (4x per day, 2 hours total per day for this class)" but this is a 3 unit class. Saddleback says "TOTAL TIME: 9 HOURS PER WEEK FOR A 3-UNIT CLASS". NOT treated 3 unit class more like 4 or 5
Honestly the best Professor we have!!! Made it easy for everyone to learn (:
Great and caring
Tracey is a great professor who makes the material engaging. Attendance is mandatory, but the textbook is helpful. Managed to get an A with the aid of online tools like Unstuck AI on top of regular studying.
