Comment:
Onderlinde is one of my favorite professors to date. I've never learned more in a class than in human anatomy and now human physiology. Her class is not easy though, expect to work for your grade. She always knows what she is talking about and is a very respectable professor, but she is a little scary. Definitely don't skip class and expect to pass

Expects perfect memorization for her exams and picks on small details mentioned in lectures for multiple choice questions. Not easy by any means, and while you may be able to get through her class first time you will have to work very hard to do so especially if you have difficulty memorizing things.

Bad, bad, bad professor. Way too much work for a 2000 level class. If you take this class, it will be a bad semester! Not helpful during office hours or over email. Expect to re-take this class.

Kathy is a very knowledgable teacher. Her tests are hard and I recommend you memorize all of the coloring assignments she gives you. Go to class and go to open lab and you will be fine!

Comment:
She moves through information so fast it is hard to grasp and fully understand it. she likes to get off on tangents as well. she could be talking about one thing and end up on an entirely different topic by the end of class. she also gets behind on the syllabus and throws tests and quizzes in whenever she wants. TAKE AT COMMUNITY COLLEGE!!!

Did not like this class one bit, but not impossible. You have to really put a good amount of time into learning the material if you want a good grade.

Sure, Kathy is really knowledgeable in what she is teaching. But, she does not take into account that some students do not have an anatomy background. Don't be surprised to have tests over 8 or more chapters at once.

Onderlinde is a hilarious storyteller and a tough but helpful teacher. She expects her students to pay attention and work hard, which is reasonable for such a tough course. Be prepared to do nothing but study all semester - go to her office hours and ask questions. She will remember your name! (Also, go to open lab.)

Excellent professor. You have to learn A LOT to pass the course, but it is worth it. Her lectures are filled with experiences and stories in addition to notes. Test questions are a bit out there, but if you study the coursepack and book thoroughly, you will do fine.

One of the best teachers I have had the pleasure of having. Knows the information well and will force you to learn. Even if you fail you walk out of that class with so much more than you pay for it. I am very disappointed I cannot have her again. Go to office hours and ask questions in class. She will explain everything! She WILL learn your name!

lectures are very interesting. Always read the book before the lecture. She is a tough grader. Utilize her office hours because when she sees you applying yourself and trying, she is more than willing to help you out. Don't email her she's not to good with emails.

Comment:
Dr. Onderlinde is an excellent professor, but if you take her anatomy or physiology class be prepared to study all semester. She gives you handouts for you to study from, and this is how I passed the class. The book is very useful, however, the course pack is what you really want to study from, and make sure to NEVER use your phone in this class.

Comment:
I went to every lecture and lab, put in at least 4-5 hours of studying a week, and still had to drop the class. She and I simply didn't hit it off; no matter how many times I went to her office hours, her only advice was, "Study more." I have a 3.88 GPA. I'm now at a neighboring school, with a different professor, and am passing with an A.

She expects you to know the presented material well. The material is not at all hard - just requires time to memorize. There are no processes or mechanisms - it's all memorization. I never went to open lab unless I had a lab exams and got A's on all my exams cause I spent time with it. All it takes is 30-45 min after each class.

Kathy is really knows her stuff! She is amazing at what she does, and loves what she does. Her material is really hard however, she expects you to know a lot. The stuff she teachers is really important to know, and you will know it for the rest of your life. Study. Study. Study. Study!!!! Start studying as soon as the she gives you the material

Kathy give you tons of information and the tests are all about applying your knowledge, very difficult. You must be willing to study a lot. She runs out of time so you have to come back exam week to learn the rest of the chapter

She knows what she is teaching but teaches at a quick pace. Overall I do not like the way she teaches it is really confusing and her tests are hard. You need to know the material insideout because she words it differently on the examsquizzes. She can be humerus. Be prepared for mental break downs. Not saying its impossible to get good grades.

Kathy knows her stuff I have a lot of respect for her, she expects you to work hard. If you dont put in the effort you wont pass. I would like to say I was "married" to the class for the semester. Take lab on days when you dont have lecture, youll have lab tests every other week. It's terrible if you have a lecture test and lab test on the same day

You must dedicate your life to this class. I would not skip at all, it's a lot of information that she teachers for someone to skip and still pass with a good grade. Lab will be hard, you have a lot to learn during the week and then a quiz every other week. GO TO OPEN LAB at least once a week. Shes very clear in what she wants, SIMPLE just study.

The majority of the class hates their life in her class. Take the class at community college. I am a 3.7 struggling with the coursework.
