Comment:

She redid the course for Fall '18 and it's IMPOSSIBLE. This class is not med term, but random patho/pharma/a&p facts picked out of the book. The homework takes forever and is only worth a small portion of your grade. I was excited for this class but even RN's were failing the tests. 6 ch per test, webcam required w/ fill-in-the-blanks on exam. NOPE

Comment:

This professor is absolutely no help whatsoever. She doesnt care about her students and if you reach out and email her she will not respond. I took this class as an elective and it was more difficult than my A&P class. If you have a choice of another class I would stay clear of Westmoreland

Comment:

4 exams, 5 chp each. There is no clear distinction of what we should know for the test. We read the entire 5 chapters and determine whats important, and complete two hw assignments that don't prepare us for the exam at all. Also, her "help you get ready checklist" is basically her saying "read, take notes, do the hw, study, take the practice quiz"

Comment:

She usually doesn't respond to emails if you have questions, which doesn't help because its an online class. Homework does not match the tests, and thee tests are recorded. Doesn't give a study guide or any extra credit. You're expected to memorize 6 chapters for every test. Homework and activities are only worth 20% of your grade.

*** DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS*** This class has a ton of homework using a horrible online book. I tried to download the app to do homework on the go but the app keeps closing and starting over. The test are really hard even if you do the homework. You only get 40 mins for 50 questions, no time to think about how to spell the terms or deconstruct them

Comment:

Have to use camera now!!! 6 hws and 6 activities with so many quest. and even if you add these quest. to your quizlet or study plan they wont be in the exams. Exams are so hard! No extra cred. only drops hw and act. which hardly counts. Now that students use camera the format should be diff and not exp the same from those that didn't have camera

Comment:

The exams and quizzes are now recorded. Homework such as the interactive activities can sometimes have no answer due to it being input wrong in the system. I would not recommend taking her since she changed her formatting for the class. She is slow at responding to her emails so there is no point in doing it. Overall, AVOID at all costs.

Comment:

I have encountered several times where the assignments were faulty. The interactive assignments have miskeyed fill in the blanks, no way to receive points for them, even after notifying instructor. Being 80% of the class comes from tests, its unfortunate the only means of cushion is compromised. I would not recommend until the prof gets it together

This class is very easy if you have already mastered your previous science courses. If not then it might be a challenged. I blazed through this course with minimal effort.

Comment:

MED TERM: The class is easy but the amount of work needed to finish it is too much. I studied more for this class than my Pathophysiology class. You need to read A LOT! Info will be helpful but I recommend taking another upper division class. Replies to emails also take too long. It's really hard to appreciate the quality of class if taken online.

Comment:

This class is an easy A. The learn smart (homework) are very time consuming, expect +100 question per chapter. Other than that, everything else was very easy. Exams are doable if you read the chapters. There are 4 exams and no final. Lockdown Browser is required but no camera.

Comment:

As a logophile, I naturally love medical terminology and read every chapter of the book for this class. If you read and take notes, you will pass and be at an advantage when entering any medical profession. This professor is not very demanding which I greatly appreciated, but you'll learn a lot.

Took her medical terminology class online. Super easy A. Only grades were from 4 exams (no final) and the learnsmarts for each chapter. Learnsmarts are time consuming, questions are like 100+ for each chapter but easy.

This class was easy. its Medical terminology so there is a lot of reading to do. As long as you do the homework and tests you will pass. She's very understanding and supportive. I will take her again.

She is a good teacher. I love her. She is slow but clear during lectures. She posts all the notes on Blackboard for you to fill in the blanks during class. Her tests were really specific. If you study the notes and understand it, you will be good.

Get ready to read the whole book. The tests are 50 Q's in 30 mins, which is doable, but you're going to need to put a lot of time into this class. Only 4 tests so make them count. Do the LearnSmart, but do NOT rely on it for tests,the tests come straight from the book text, DO THE EXERCISES! Made an 88 overall, made A's on 3 tests, w a C on one :(

Comment:

The testing is ridiculous! you would think 30 minutes would be enough to take a test but its not. When you have to read scenarios you don't have time for other questions. I just finished my last exam and i didn't pass the course. Do NOT take this class.
