Comment:

Dr Taylor is great! Summer session is intense, but doable. Be ready to memorize taxonomy. No homework, just tests. Final grades calculated to most benefit each individual & there is a curve. Skip class, you will be hard pressed to catch up because each day covers so much material. Not a hard class, but definitely requires work and study!

Comment:

I took Dr. Taylor for my anatomy and physiology class. She is willing to help you, she replies back to emails super fast, you receive your test grades almost always the day after the test and her lectures are rather funny! You NEED to study at least an hour a day if you want to pass the class with a good grade. The effort is on you.

Really engaging teacher. She makes class interesting and explains well. Her study guides are broad but if you study hard, you will do fine.

I took her for AP 2 with lab. It was her first time teaching this course at Ft Campbell, so she took some time getting the schedule correct. Overall, the class was good. Tests were difficult and studying was necessary. I would recommend this course.

Dr. Taylor is a great! Her test are difficult but she gives you a clear cut study guide. If you learn all the info on the study guide and read her power points you will do well on the test. She does grade on a curve that is very beneficial. Also she gives you the option to take a final that will drop your lowest test grade. She knows her stuff

I enjoyed taking this course with Dr. Taylor. She is really laid back and she gives us a study guide for every exam that is extremely helpful. She is by far my favorite teacher at APSU

Dr. Taylor was an overall good teacher. She will help you if you put in the effert. I would recommend never missing class and to review her PowerPoints at home. She has them available on D2L.

Professor Taylor is very helpful and will put in any extra effort as long as you ask for it. She does provide study guides prior to each exam. Attendance is not mandatory but she will mark who has not attended class and whenever your grade is on the fence, she will go more in your favor if you have a good attendance record. Curves every exam!

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE IN SUMMER! Tons of taxonomy & she tests as if it were a regular semester. 3 days of lecture/lab & exam the next day, so 1/3 of the material, including up to 30 scientific names, is given the day prior to the exam. Every exam had questions not covered in class. Otherwise, she is pretty laid back. Labs are easy.

She made me fall in love with the subject matter. If you're willing to learn, she is perfect. She even gave extra credit, but it was just enough to get your grade up a few points. She's always available for you to pop in during office hours, and she's willing to put in as much effort as you are.

Comment:

DR. Taylor is the bomb. Shes hilarious in class and is fun. She covers powerpoints in class...DO go to class. Read over the powerpoints and read your book and Anatomy Classes will be a piece of cake. She is very helpful and knowledgable..But all she really does in regards to studying advice is...say "know the whole story to all the parts"..lol..ok?

Dr. Taylor was very helpful and always seemed enthused about what she was teaching. She uses analogies that makes class interesting and if you're between two grades but were always in class, she'll give you the better grade.

Comment:

Dr. Taylor is awsome! If you do her study guide THROUGHLY before a test you should ace the test. She also gives periodic extra credit which is how i have an a- instead of a b-. A&P is not easy but i made a 90% on my last test b/c her study guide is a good guide on what will b on the test. Dont just answer the questions on the guide tho study it!

Comment:

Dr. Taylor's A&P I class was moderate. She lectured every class period and usually let us go 5 minutes early. Out only grades were 5 exams that you had to study a lot for. However, she answers any questions on the study guide prior to taking the test. I recommend taking her class. She is funny and uses realistic examples to relate concepts.

This semester she no longer gives quizs, she doesn't answer questions very well, and shes hardly in class during lab. Her tests are hard and parts of them she doesnt go over. Shes a funny person but her teaching skills are lacking this semester
