Comment:

walking in to Stanton's first lecture i could tell it was going to be a hard but extremely interesting semester. I learned so incredibly much from this teacher seriously she is so passionate about what she teaches. I 100% recommend taking her class even though she makes you work hard- I had no idea so much information could fit in my brain

I like her fill in the blank lecture handouts. It allows more time to listen and absorb information, instead of having to write down everything. Tests are based on those handouts.

Comment:

The actual subject of Human Anatomy is HARD. There is so much info to retain. It's a pretty fast paced course, but Christine is an AMAZING teacher. She does all she can to help us remember the material, and is absolutely hilarious. Love the class. But definitely be prepared to take a break from your social life with all of the necessary studying!

Comment:

Christine simply loves helping students. She will explain the information to the greatest of her ability, and she will repeat it when necessary. Don't expect graded tests and assignments too quickly because she has two toddlers and a husband with a sleeping disorder, which she doesn't neglect. Please expect to study quite a bit for this class

She is awesome! She is really organized and knowledgeable. If you go to lecture and lab you only have to study that material and you will do well. Exams are hard but straight forward. I definitely feel prepared. I already have my BS from UC Davis and she is by far one of my best teachers! STUDY and you will do well.

Comment:

She has good intentions, but just doesn't have what it takes to teach this sort of subject matter. You will do yourself alot of good if you take another section. A bit late for me to do that unfortunately. I plan to take my A and run as far from this prof as i possible.

Comment:

Christine is a nice person overall. She knows what she is talking about, but tends to over talk about subjects and repeats like crazy. She laughs at herself constantly and has "favorites." Her tests/pop quizzes are very hard and challenging, so you definitely have to keep on top of your studying. HARD CLASS!

Comment:

I would have to agree with the below negative commentary. Pre-burn out she might have been a decent teacher?? Sarcasm and class favorites are not cool either. I plan to take my "A" and put the experience behind me.

yes, the subject matter takes student effort to master, but a good teacher fosters an environment for her students to do so. Not the case here. Going through the motions doesn't cut it.

Anatomy is a very tough class! lots of memorizing!!I didn't buy the book and I still got an A! just go to class=participation points!Christine is a great teacher-very knowledgeable about the material and she will answer all questions. I recommend the 'coloring'book and printing up the lecture notes before class. lots of cadaver work and dissections

LOVED her class, she is one of the few instructors at this school that actually makes science enjoyable. If you don't study for at least 5 hours per day (if this is new material to you), then you will not pass.

she's a terrible teacher. She teaches everything at a fast pace and without clarity. Word is that you'll be ill-prepared for your future courses. I'm wishing that i knew about this site before enrolling. WV teachers usually rock, but not this one!

Very nice teacher. Has a quiz every week which is extremely helpful. Anatomy is a difficult class so it's important to have a good instructor, which she definitely is. Don't take Norris, or Gallardo (especially!) for anatomy at WVC. I really enjoyed her class.

Took her for Anatomy and currently have her for Physiology. She's pregnant w/ twins so this is her last semester for a while. Anatomy: just a lot of time to memorize everything. Physio: do study questions & the homework questions to prep for the essay questions on the exam. Mult choice, T or F ?'s. Quiz once a week that really help u stay on task

CMON PEOPLE. this is human anatomy here we're talking about! this class is SUPPOSED to be insane; but Christine made me surprised at how well i understood the material. you need to show up to lecture, or else u'l be lost! Lab usually goes for most of the 3 hour but she is amazingly clear about everything! LOVED her.

This teacher is EXTREMELY serious and stern about her class and students. Very strict yet doesn't have a very good rep with employers (students aren't well prepared). She is a VERY hard grader. Can be VERY RUDE.

Comment:

BEST INSTRUCTOR EVER. A/P is extremely hard and she makes it a smooth transition. I enjoyed going to her lectures because I learned so much and she has such a passion to teach. I applied everything I learned from her to succeed in EMT school and am now pre-med at UCSD utilizing everything she has taught me. AWESOME INSTRUCTOR.
