Wendy Pelto is the very best in Anatomy. She also teaches in Athletics. You'd be lucky to have her for an instructor! She's the best.
Excellent teacher. She makes the class interesting.
Wendy is the best teacher i have ever had. She will do anything to help her students understand the material (including jumping on the lab tables to show you what muscles are being used!) I recommend everyone take human anatomy with her!!
The best professor I've ever had. Her lectures were interesting and her labs were a lot of fun. Its true, she does get up on the lab table to show muscles. Very helpful and dedicated to teaching.
cool funny and helpfully
Wendy is AMAZING. She rocks out to Metallica and System of a Down, but she doesn't mind hip hop, for she's very open minded. If your interested in fitness she'll get u in shape (safely and effectively). Very nice lady
Wendy is a great professor. She goes all out of her way to make sure her students understand her lecture and Lab. This subject is not easy but she makes it fun and understanderble. She made me want to go to class every day. God bless her and keep her for many years to teach as good as she does.
She makes this class both interesting and fun. Only taking it because I have to,failed last year with Montgomery this year it makes sense to me and we don't have to draw pictures. Leave that for the art students
AWESOME PROFESSOR!!!
Excellent and enthusiastic. Makes Anatomy interesting but you'll still have to work hard if you plan on getting an A in the course.
crazy cool teacher.
she is very good. if is your responsibility to study; however, unlike other biology profs. she make the information "easier" to understand. she really wants you to leave the course with as much knowledge as possible. this is not an easy course, but she makes it tolerable.
Best teacher I ever had!
she was great. she was very good at what she did. if you have to take anatomy i would take it with her. you will pass if you take it with her.
She is an excellent prof. Always available when needed. She makes the course interesting but you must be ready to learn as it is not an easy course.
She is an amazing person. A week into the class I had hurt my foot and could not work out (which was what the class was all about) but she was completely understanding about it. Her grading system is very fair, and only those who did not pay attention when she repeated what needed to be done over and over had a problem. She is also very funny.
Great teacher. Willing to answer your questions. She is understanding and explains things thoroughly. One of the only professors that actually listens to the students and takes our ideas of the ways we like to learn and then incorporates them. Want's everyone to learn and earn a good grade. Great class.
great teacher
great teacher and wonderful person. She makes you understand and makes the class alot of fun, but you must be ready to study to ofcourse.
awesome proffesor. very animated. not crazy about the lecture exams, but lab was great. shes tere for you if you have questions about anything!! she really wantsdeveryone to do well
Wendy is the best teacher i've ever had. She is so helpful and tries to relate everything so you'll understand it better. She's definitley one of the sweetest teachers i've ever had. If you can take a course with her i'd definitley recommend it! SHES THE BEST!
Wendy is so helpful. Really a great teacher. So sweet. I recommend her to anyone.
IF YOU HAVE TO TAKE ANATOMY TAKE IT WITH WENDY. SHE IS AN AMAZING PROFESSOR AND PERSON. SHE IS EXTREMELY FAIR AND IS ALWAYS THERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS.
Great professor! i dropped it twice before her and came out with a B!!
Wendy is an awesome teacher !! She is great in both lecture and lab and does all she can to help you understand. She is extremely fair in her grading. I took this class before with another professor and had to drop. It is a very demanding and hard course but she will help you get through it. Do yourself a favor and take HER.
Wendy is a great asset to CCRI. Take her class if you can. You will not regret it.
Wendy is the best, always help when you need help in class,nice teacher.
Wendy is super awesome! great class and she cares soo much for her students. She is what makes me happy and is a stress relief when taking her class. Dont go in her class thinking you can get away with anything because she is not a push over but overall a great teacher and person! I love you Wendy.
Wendy..is the BEST prof. to take for Human Anatomy.. In the lab part..she goes ova stuff with you..and helps you if you have any questions..I highly recommend her to anyone...especially if you are going into nursing... I LOVE YOU WENDY!!!(:
Highly recommend her. Down to earth woman, smart, fun, and very helpful. hard to describe how wonderful of a person she is. You have to experience for yourself.
Professor Pelto is an amazing teacher. If u have to take anatomy dont think about taking it with anyone else. She is a wonderful person and makes the class actually understandable. Her personality is great and makes the class fun. Wendy your the best!!!!!!
Great professor. She is one of the best ever!!!
She is one of the best teacher I ever had.
Easy going, lighthearted, funmy, animated. Testing: delayed in returning test scores and papers. 2 exams returned out of 6 taken. Do not know progress in class.
Great anatomy teacher. Attending lab is vital, she appreciated you when you stay the whole class and she notices who does. Supplies videos that she made so you can review before tests. Makes the effort to pass everyone who worked hard.
Awesome. Total Visual hands on teacher.
THE BEST PROFESSOR IN CCRI!!! SHE KNOWS HER STUFF AND CAN TEACH AS WELL!
Amazing Professor! takes extra time going over coursework. Above and beyond with her helpfulness. A+
WENDY PELTO IS THE BEST PROFESSOR IN THE ENTIRE BUILDING OF CCRI! She loves her students, she takes passion is teaching and when you leave the class you are confident you knowt the material. I currently have her as a lab professor and she's the ISH!
LOVE HER SHE ACTUALLY CARES ABOUT HER STUDENTS UNLIKE THE OTHER TEACHER MY CLASS HAD FOR LECTURE.
Wendy makes you want to learn this stuff. She is hands on and gets right into it with us. She doesn't leave us to hang out to dry like the others that teach this class. I actually look forward to her class and believe me, that says a lot because I basically hate science.
SHE IS THE BEST INSTUCTOR EVER, IF YOU HAVE TO TAKE ANATOMY MAKE SURE YOU GET INTO HER CLASS, SHE IS VERY SMART AND WILL MAKE SURE THAT YOU WILL PASS THIS CLASS.THE BEST EVER.
I've always been very critical of my professors, but I have to say Wendy is incredible. Anatomy is the toughest class I've ever taken, but Wendy goes out of her way to make sure everyone in the class understands the material... She's an amazing person with a heart of gold.... Study hard and show up to all the classes and you'll do fine....
This lady deserves an award if she hasnt gotten one already. Save yourself the money for having to retake the class - don't take anatomy with any other teacher but Wendy Pelto she's awesome.
Wendy is a sweet lady. You can tell how much she cares about her students. She was disorganized and didn't follow her outlines that she gave us. She is very understanding and wants the class to pass. Would recommend her and take her again. I think she just had an off semester.
This Professor is the best!!! Caring is an understatement! This class was a family and we learned. Don't take with Dr. J Gives her grief thinking she is adjunct. Dr J is into his car instead of teaching. Wendy Pelto is the best!!!!!!!!!
Took this as a required prereq for OT, knew nothing beforehand & learned very little from her lectures- lots of interesting tangents though! Had to pretty much teach myself the material. Got emotional in lectures & seems burnt out & in need of a break. Would love to take a weight-training class with her though!
When they have an awesome teacher they make it difficult for them. Wendy is by far the most caring Professor in ccri. She opened extra labs and taught I don't believe she got paid for this! She taught Other professors students and made class feel like a gathering of friends. Dr. j managed to ruin the way she teaches but not change her!
Wendy is a great teacher- so helpful- As an older student- she was willing to take more time to make sure I understood the material and complete the tasks required.I will recomend her to other students.
Extremely wonderful teacher! She is very helpful and wants all of her students to pass and do great. She believes in all of us regardless of our own perception of the class. Very caring and full of energy!!
Wendy is a great teacher. She is very helpful and she recognizes when you work hard. She is definitely a fair grader. Her class is not easy but if you do the work you will get a good grade. Her lecture exams are neither easy nor extremely difficult. They are in between. Sometimes she is a little slow at getting your test grades back to you.
Wendy is excellent in Lab. She make the lectures interesting. She is very helpful and cares about her students. She is alittle slow at getting back to you via email. I would take a class with her again
Absolutely the BEST! Her lecture is a must to attend and she made lab interesting and fun. She shows you the structures personally by getting up on one of the lab tables and holds up the cat then lets you see it on your own cat. Attend her extra lab hours its worth it! She also take note which students are trying their best to learn. Love her!
Wendy is a great teacher how ever she does not get back to you via email and is hard to get a hold of.She will tell you a test is on one thing but on a another.Her lab though is great shows each group personaly each structure and lets you know what to know.She may be a bit confusing but would def take a class with her again.
Wendy is one of the few gems at CCRI. She is an incredible lecturer and care about her students success. Her class really does feel like a family, and everyone is rooting for one another. She does sometimes go off topic, but it is always a fun and needed moment of rest.
Wendy is awesome. She is smart, funny and really wants you to learn the material. She is helpful and answers questions happily. Take her class!!!
Amazing teacher, always helpful. I would definitely recommend her for anyone that isn't good/interested in anatomy. She's awesome!
Wendy is an awesome person. She is always willing to help her students in their time of need. her wonderful caring heart goes a long way. SHe is extremely smart and wants her students to learn and be successful. Must take her.
Wendy was amazing. I received a B+ in my first try and im not exactly fit to be a brain surgeon. Anatomy is difficult no matter what. You have to put in the time to learn the material but honestly I wouldnt have passed if it wasnt for her. Thank you Wendy!
She's not all she's cracked up to be. All over the place, doesn't follow the syllabus, goes off topic, not clear in lab. In fact you don't have much time to learn in lab before you are tested on it. Heard good things about her but she maybe has lost her touch.
She is nice, but agree goes off topic and doesn't follow her schedule. Lecture is almost a waste of time and lab is pretty much teach yourself. She is quirky but is definitely a sweetheart. Just wish she was a better instructor.
Very nice and caring woman but needs to be more organized. She knows her stuff but I agree skips around and doesn't' keep to the syllabus which makes learning more difficult. But she is willing to work with you. Does get very emotional which is a distraction.
Wendy is all over the place. Consistantly late. Don't expect ur grades back for weeks.Mid term grades were false online. Very frustrating semester. Would never take her class again!
Wendy is the worst professor ever. She is all over the place. You have to teach yourself in her class. She is a terrible instructor and very emotional. She needs another hobby her teaching skills are poor. She sucks and I will never take her class again.
Took wendy about 3 semesters ago. I was retaking class to get a better grade. She used to have take homes. Not anymore. Very unorganized and i was completely stressed the whole time. She will say your doing fine to everyone. Please dont be discourage by this comment but I just want to be honest. Do ALL of the objectives in the book, you will do ok
Wendy is a very kind lady, humerous and personable. However DO NOT take her Anatomy class.Her lectures are all over the place and you don't learn from what she is saying. The notes you take in class are not used on the tests. Even her tests are all over the place, misspelled, misnumbered ect. You basically have to teach yourself and hope you pass.
Ok, so Wendy is nice. However, when it comes to her lectures they are awful & she is always late! Her notes are not clear at all and she jumps around from one thing to the next. Her "study guides" are a waste of time. I have a great grade in this class and have worked really hard for it. If you want to learn the material do not take it with Wendy!
I was told that I had to take Anatomy with her because she was the best. Well, that may have been true but not anymore. She comes a half hour late to lecture, which we have once a week. She gives study guides that are irrelevant to what is seen on the test. Overall, awful experience. She is all over the place! She cannot seem to give straight answe
She is terrible professor. She came late 30 minutes to every class. She lied about the grade I would receive. So many students dropped her class because she doesn't know how to teach the material. She should get a new hobby awful teacher.
Wendy is the worst teacher I have ever had. She came in late for tests and did not let us make up the time she also doesn't give any notes during lecture, she's rude and ignores emails
Wendy is a great person, but as a teacher she is horrible. She comes in late for class and what she teaches is not what u need to know. You need to teach yourself in order to pass. I do not recommend her.
Wendy is a great teacher she makes sure you learn the material. A grade is not handed to you you must work hard for it.
very nice lady that want the best for her student.
Prof Pelto is a very smart, very nice lady. However, her lecture lacks structure and is very hard to follow. She spends lecture going over pictures from the text, and talks more about things you don't need to know rather than what you do need to know. Her lab was outstanding as she is very knowledgable. Be prepared to be frustrated w/ lecture.
Wendy was very unorganized and was not a good professor at all. I had her for only Lab and She did not teach us everything that was on the exam. I did not like her at all !
Anatomy is not an easy class. It's a ton of reading & memorization. I found her lecture tests more difficult then the lab tests but as long as you read through the chapter & take notes you can pass. She was very helpful anytime I or other students had questions & she has a great personality & when grading she's very fair !
Wants you to do good and helps you to her best ability
She is extremely fair. I find that the students that are not happy with her are those that expect her to hand hold. In college you have to take it upon yourself to read through material and show up to class. Wendi went out of her way to help me feel more confident when test taking and even gave me ideas that really helped. Would take again.
Okay so yes she will throw alot of bonus points on but if you've never taken anatomy and expect a teacher with clear lectures that will help you learn she is not for you. Shes a great person unfortunately shes a bad teacher. Shes chronically late with grades and to class. Expect to wait up to 3 to 4 weeks to get your tests back Go with someone else
Best Gym teacher!! was also and anatomy student at the time, not in her class, and she still helped me out. Hilarious and is always looking to have fun when it the right time, when teacher its all business.
She's a great professor and extremely friendly but all over the place with her lectures! She'll talk about one subject and jump to the next two seconds later so you're always so lost on what's going on. Her practicals are as any other teachers would be along with the exams.
Wendy was a nice lady but her lessons were unclear and confusing. The dates for tests and quizzes were unclear and often times would not email the ENTIRE class the study guide, only a few individuals. Materials on test were often not discusse in class or even included in the study guide. Would not recommend her class and will not be taking it again
You'll regret taking her, believe me. Not helpful at all and extremely confusing the whole time during lecture. She jumps from one subject to another and goes back to the first subject and leaves you mind boggled. Her exams never match up with the study guide and she tells you when your having a test/class a couple days before. Awful teacher.
Very funny and good person but not a good professor. She is very confusing and I took anatomy before (to get my CNA at a vocational high school when i was 16) and I was still so lost! I am an A student in every single class I have ever taken and I was struggling to even get a B. Her questions are confusing and she jumps from chapter to chapter.
Wendy is a caring professor and cares about her students. if you put in the effort she notices. she helps you out as much as she can. very understanding of the fact that people work and she tries to accommodate to that.
I took Human Anat. 1 semester before taking it w/ Wendy, I got a B, but need the A. She is an great person, will help when you ask & knows the material but her lectures are very confusing & the questions for exams are difficult to understand. If you take her, MAKE SURE to study EVERYTHING for lecture, especially read the text book!
Her class is very enjoyable
I only had her for the lab portion of Anatomy and she's great. She goes over everything with you before you begin the lab and lets you know exactly what you need to know. She's very accessible and easy to talk to. Great lab prof. 10/10.
For a gym class, there were lots of handouts. Wendy is nice but she needs to be clearer with her directions in terms of the assignments she gives out. I'm pretty sure she gave everyone an A- no matter what so can't complain there. For the only gym teacher at CCRI to my knowledge, she's a good choice and could definitely be worse.
Im so glad I picked Wendy as a professor. This is my second time taking anatomy. She is a real gem. Her lectures are lengthy and at times dont make a lot of sense because shes sporadic but at the end of the lecture I feel as though she gives all the vital info. Shes also HYSTERICAL. She helps in any way she can. Amazing professor!
As would be expected with Anatomy this was was pretty involved course with a good amount of material to cover. Wendy very clearly understands and knows the material. While somewhat of a disjionted lecture experience she made sure to answer any and all questions and provided little tips to make sure you remembered all the important details.
she is AMAZING.
Cannot say enough awesome things about Wendy Pelto. All around great teacher and class!
Wendy is a kind and caring professor. She works with her students to find a plan that works for them and is always available to listen. Her classroom is a no-tolerance zone for any kind of hate or disrespect.
I loved Ms. Pelto very much. She was super caring and understanding of every circumstance. She was a very good teacher, and I am so lucky to have had her!!
Amazing teacher
Hilarious, work is easy as long as you pay attention and actually read what she tells you to.
This poor woman has been through hell and back, yet still looks excited to teach every day. I'm in her gym class and while yes, some of the assignments she gives directions aren't really explained, assignments are few and far in between. She may seem bubbly and talkative, but she is definitely very intelligent. She actually cares for her students.
