Comment:
Donna is a great prof and her lectures contain everything you will need to prepare yourself for the exam. She talks really fast and will mention something once that could be on the exam so everything she says needs to be written down. The notes she provides are vague so if you don't go to class, theres no way you will pass. Use time wisely in lab

Tests are tough, however everything on them is covered in lecture which you should attend as her notes do not contain all the information needed.

Cram as much information as you can for her tests. For the most part, her questions were fair but there were some things she would literally mention once and expect you to know. My advice: record her lectures then re-listen and re-write good notes. It's time consuming but will guarantee a 90+. OH and don't purchase Grant's Atlas (useless!)

Class is tough, everything she says is on the exam. However, her exams are VERY fair. Amazing teacher as well. If you study, and pay attention in class, you'll do well.

Comment:
Absolutely fantastic prof who is extremely knowledgeable in the field of anatomy. Attending lectures is absolutely crucial, as her exam material is always based on what she says in class. Going to the extra lab periods is also integral to doing well in my opinion. Anatomy is a complex subject, but if you put in enough effort you'll love it!

She's an amazing prof. Without a doubt my favourite, but she is very hard.She knows her stuff. Her exams are mainly identify and literally anything she says can and will be on the exams. Going to class is pretty mandatory if you expect to do well.

Fair marker, great teacher. Very easy to understand, but you MUST attend all lectures as not all content is in her slides or textbook. Bring a laptop and type down everything she says. She has hard exams, but all content is mentioned in class.

Shes a great prof, knows her stuff but her exams are hard. She warns u at the beginning of class that you must attend every lecture. Read prior to class, and study weeks ahead of midterms/lab exams/final exam. Take her seriously, students tend to underestimate her before the 1st midterm

Actually my favourite teacher in my entire university career. Very knowlegable professor and as long as you study the notes and attend classes slash have a really good memory you'll do fine. The course content and exams are hard though.

Donna's a great teacher. At first she seems to be a bit of a hard-a**, but after awhile you realize she's a nice woman who is VERY smart. Her exams are hard if you don't study. But come on just go to class and you'll be JUST fine. A wonderful, approachable teacher. Doesn't use the textbook, but her slides are very informative. And she's JACKED!

Donna is nice lady, looks approachable however, her material can be deceiving for a student. It doesn't help very much for test content and I would say that her lectures notes are not very helpful either.

Comment:
She is my least favourite professor. She hardly refers to the textbook (which we have two of) her slides are inconsistent, she will hesitate in between explanations, her voice is low and uninteresting and i find it difficult to comprehend what she's telling us. YOU MUST GO TO CLASS, or you will probably fail the exam.

One of my favourite professors! Made Anatomy easy and fun. I don't know why everyone is saying it was so difficult. If you read your notes and go to class you should have no problem getting AT LEAST 80's on all the exams.

Not mandatory to attend class unless you want to pass, bc she uses things she talks about on the exam. Anatomy is hard to learn, but she makes it exciting and is very oraganized (provides lecture notes to follow with). I really enjoyed her class! If you study, you'll pass. If you don't you won't, but thats up to you not her. She provides the info.
