Has a very specific way of viewing each question and doesn't like to be challenged. Picky grader- to the point of being demoralizing.

You have to spend a good amount of time studying outside of class. However, she really does make you retain the information!

Comment:
Dr. Boyce is knowledgeable about the material and is clear in her lectures. Her powerpoints really help with note-taking because her tests are off them. Does tend to have some poorly worded questions on tests that can be interpreted multiple ways. Fairly nitpicky grader and doesn't give back points or give much extra credit, but you'll learn a ton

Great teacher, but the class is hard. No homework really, but the exams can be rough. Be prepared to work. She is easy to get in contact with if you need help and is great at answering questions.

Comment:
Dr. Boyce is great in teaching anatomy, and she covers a lot of ground. Expect to read a lot and study a lot, but her class is very rewarding. She is also very easy to talk to, and she loves it when students bring questions or deep questions into studying the body.

Comment:
Neuro was definitely a difficult class, but Sheri keeps it interesting. She makes study guides to follow along with that help tremendously. I wish there were more points in her class, because the majority of the grade comes from test scores (that are always lower than what you wanted). The class is hard, but it's doable

Professor Boyce is really great! She explains the material well in lecture and answers any and every question. The class is hard but she makes it manageable. Study study study (in the right ways) and it will pay off!

I love Sheri Boyce. She is so wonderful and truly wants you to understand something. Her quizzes are difficult, but they help you remember what you are learning in class and force you to study the material.

She gives handouts that make lecture very easy to follow. She will stop and answer questions and is willing to meet with you on her own time to help you out. She is very clear and is deliberate about what she wants you to know. I really enjoyed her as a prof. I would take another class with her in a heartbeat!

She is very detailed and clear about exactly what she wants you know. However, she can seem very nit-picky at times, and you will lose points on exams, quizzes, and practicals if you are perfectly exact. She may be a stickler, but she is also very organized, which really helped me. Also, her handouts are so helpful!

Comment:
Boyce is really nice, the only downside is the quizzes every week - but they do prepare you for the exams and if you study you'll do fine! MAKE SURE YOU STUDY! If you don't, you'll fail the quizzes/exams. I'm pretty sure every A&P class is going to be difficult and it takes studying and work.

Boyce is great. She explains things well and talks slow enough that you can still take notes. She's really friendly and great as a prof.

Prof Boyce is nice but challenging. Has a quiz almost every week which can help or break your grade. It prepares you for the exam. She is precise and doesnt make you know all the little things that in the end you dont need.

For an A&P prof, she is very clear and easy, and she is specific about what she wants you to know. She wont make you memorize the whole text and the tests aren't as bad as other profs tests

Great prof, very smart and knows her stuff. Lectures aren't bad, everything is done on the powerpoint but she makes it interesting. It's a hard class no matter who you take, but she makes it fun. Boring for a lab prof.

She is a great teacher! She is so helpful and willing to explain anything a second time. She is very laid back in class and works through material at a comfortable pace. Her tests aren't easy but if you read the notes and study guide she gives the tests are very manageable. I highly recommend her.

Knows her stuff! Awesome prof, love her! It's a LOT of work though; don't expect to come out of this class with an A, or at least not an easy one. I don't really think she has a "bad list" though, like the people before me said. Really friendly and really takes the time to give extra assistance. You just have to be willing to put in the effort.

she was never helpful when asked, doesnt realize that there are multiple ways to approach a problem in science, also she doesnt like to be wrong so dont challenge her. This class is a lot of work!

Dr B rocks. She is mad fun and knows her stuff. Yeah, she's tough alright, but she makes up for that by being just an awesome prof. If you don't wonna work, don't take her; if you are up for learning something, she's your prof! Love her!
