No matter how hard you work or how often you ask for help throughout this course Dr. Ediger does not care. Over half the class could fail and she will brush it off. She does not review exams even if class average is low and instead of teaching the material that is on her exams, she tells you to read chapter summaries

During the beginning it was pretty easy sand I felt my classmates had mutual feelings. On lab exams she wants every answer to be specific. Towards the middle of semester the exams became harder and worded poorly. She never told us any helpful tools to study with other than read the textbook. This class is hard work and will have you stressed.

Worst professor I have ever had by FAR.

PART 1: I decided to stupidly take her in the summer since she's the only lab prof offered at gsu and let me just say I might have to get an emergency withdrawal due to my declining mental health caused by the class. while many are here complaining about only getting a week to study over the material given in the summer you only have 2/4 days.

P2: In the beginning, I was doing somewhat well & wasn't failing any of the lab assignments but as the semester is ending we are now having to learn 50+ terms in less than 2-4 days. Had I had a week to learn them I would have done well. She is extremely picky with the spelling & doesn't less you have access to PPT or take pictures of them in class

P3: if you put in the time & effort you can easily pass especially if you aren't taking her in the summer. She a hard prof and unfortunately she is the only lab prof offered for A&P at GSU. Her TA Noelani is great and really kind and makes lectures easy to understand. Only hand write the HW or you'll only get half credit even if its on an iPad.

The class is tough, but well structures. Dr. Ediger is just plain rude and unapproachable. Not a huge fan of some of the class policies. Unfortunately, it doesn't get a lot better at GSU.

tbh she isnt that bad. people need to realize that anatomy is a very HARD class. I passed the class with a b by studying everyday for at least 30 minutes. she does talk a lot tho so class can get a little boring but she responds to your emails fast and will answer any questions you have. I dont recommend taking this class in the summer.

This class is hard but it is very well structured and if you get the hang of it, you'll do well in A&P 2. Dr. Ediger explained things really well and her lab videos are very helpful. Just an all around skilled and organized professor. The homework pertains to material you have to learn, so you're essentially getting credit for studying.

I have seen comments stating that Dr.Ediger isn't hard but I would honestly say yes she is . I understand this class may be hard and it is very heavy in material but it is on your professor to help guide you through the course in a manner that helps you .This has destroyed my mental health and I do not reccomend that anyone take this course .

Run. Run as far as you can. This class is one of the main reasons why I changed my major because I couldn't imagine taking the second anatomy class. This had to be the hardest class I have ever taken in my life. There is A LOT of material that you have to memorize. You would have to fully dedicate your life to this class if you want to pass.

By far the HARDEST professor I've taken in my 3 yrs at GSU. Failed the first exam, and she tells the class, if you failed the first exam, you will NOT pass. Thats how this professor is, either you sink or swim. Constantly studying everyday for an exam and still fail it. Currently taking Microbiology with this class and micro is easier than this.

She doesn't share lab slides. This class is set up for you to fail.

The course is obviously difficult but the professor makes it unnecessarily more difficult by not providing access to the material. Her lab videos lack much of the information needed to finish the lab assignments and her manual is flawed and needs corrections. If her success is measured based on her students then she has failed as an educator.

Pretty good professor. Gives hefty amount of work, but she has drop(s) in almost every grading category. Only speaks during lecture with photo slides, so be sure to take down some key notes if needed. Gives group work randomly so attendance matters. She was quite helpful w/ exams as she'd give study questions to go off of, but they can be a lot.

This class isnt that bad. The professor isnt the problem, but the class overall is very complicated. You need to set aside a lot of time to study for lecture and lab. For lecture, i suggest going through her study questions for exams. Spelling and correct grammar are very important for lab assessments.

Let's start off... A&P is a difficult course, REGARDLESS of professor/university/etc. I felt like I actually learned something. Dr. Ediger is an AMAZING lecturer. I sat in on both Ediger's and Goursaud's lecture last semester to decide which professor to take for A&P2, I am SO SO HAPPY I did my research. Dr. Ediger is the HEAD of the A&P @ GSU.

the lab grade is only based off weekly assessments, hw, and final assessment. You need to spell everything correctly, know every detail of whatever your learning and be able to recall the information quickly. You will not pass if you aren't studying a couple of hrs every day outside of class. Class is taught by TA, I never seen the actual teacher.

This class is HARD, but that is because of the subject itself not necessarily the professor. Dr. Ediger gives you whats necessary to do good in the class but your grade is truly dependent on how much you studied. I know that if i would've applied myself and studied more i could've done better. You must study for hours, attend lectures !!!

Dr. Ediger is an extremely difficult professor with little care for her students. TAs are the only ones that teach this class and it is set up horribly.

Professor Ediger is not the professor for the class however, the TA was awful and did not prepare you for lab At ALL. Do NOT waste your time taking labs with student TAs because they barely know the material. Take a lab with the professor teaching. Lab Assessments were graded toughly and you'll be lucky if you got over a 70 on lab assessments.

A&PII is a hard subject, so grading is tough. Reading assignments help with understanding the material before lectures. The lab assessments are very specific with spelling, but using the "write" and "learn" tool under Quizlet flashcards will ensure you ace your lab assessments. Attedance was basically mandatory with in-class activities.

A&P 1 and 2 both courses are challenging and you have to know most of the topics because this class is highly important for prehealth students. That is the reason why Dr.Ediger is strict with spelling and overall grading methods. Both the professors for this course are outstanding (Dr.Ediger and Dr. Santymire).

She gives reading assignments that allow you to preview the material before class and they are helpful,I recommend you spend time with the material before class and then listen and takes notes on what she says during lecture. You NEED to spend time actually learning the material overall to earn a good grade, but she teaches very well.

Amazing lecturer, but VERY hard class. My tips to get an A: do the reading assignments well before class with 100% integrity, which helps you understand concepts before lecture. Pay 100% attention in lecture. Answer her study questions throughout the unit and make a sheet to review. I reviewed notes, sq's, and studied for about 5-9 hrs/week.

For the love God, do all the EC possible .Record her voice bc the PPTS are kinda for her, you will need it once you study the PPTs. Lab was so brutal, assessments: if you're off by 1 letter, the whole answer was wrong. Make sure you know how to spell. 3 exams, none dropped- they were good as long as you did/study your weekly quizzes.

Almost lost my soul during this course. Attendance is mandatory because all of the in-class activites. Lab assessments are difficult, so be prepared for them. We got a good TA for lab, but it's hard. As for the as the lecture goes, very hard material so study about 2-3 hours a day to understand because her questions are unpredictable.

Ediger's lab assessments are too hard. The questions on the lab assessments are sometimes vague, there is no multiple choice, and she grades really hard. Mispell the word by one letter?

The mandatory practice lab assessments aren't helpful for the actual assessments. TA-led class, but TA wasn't allowed to help us with assignments for things we weren't taught because it was a graded assignment. Pre-lab videos don't correlate with pre-lab work. Gave us too much lab work even with our long lab times. Self-learn with your textbook.
