Comment:

It may seem like a lot but She is always willing to help! Always around too. Old school teaching style but its almost refreshing. No online stuff to worry about. Get ready to work. Dont expect a grade to be handed to you. She will help you succeed if youre willing to work a little! Also shes one of the few people who teach AP2 so be wise!

She is a very nice lady, just not the best teacher. Be prepared to teach yourself if you take her class.

Comment:

Horrible class I've taken. Shes all over the place. She will give you a billion papers that you put your notes on, and its confusing to go back and review later on (just a bunch of scribbles on the paper). When grading tests, she will mark answers right on some tests, but wrong on others. She's very nice, but just all over the place w/ teaching.

Comment:

I had the worst time with this class. She's not helpful when you ask her questions. Gives a lot of pop quizzes. Does a lot of online homework - and the program for it is super confusing. Labs are a nightmare - she goes so fast and isn't good at explaining things.

She is an awesome person in general, but not a good teacher. Very unorganized, tests were hard and she did not prepare you very well for them. You teach yourself a lot of the material and she just shows you where to find it.

Comment:

Ethington is a nice woman, really, she is. I believe she means well but fails when it comes to executing her lesson plan. The homework does not have a set due date, ever. One assignment will be due at this time and then another midday on a Saturday. It's much too sporadic. Lectures are useless as she reads directly from the book. All in all, awful.

Comment:

Mrs. E had too many personal things going on which made learning harder. cancelled 7 classes (14) of the semester. jumps around a lot. very confusing as to what will be on tests. study guides are not very helpful. new lab book written by her had a lot of errors. she also admitted to never taking an anatomy class (she taught herself)

Best A&P teacher ever!She answers all of your questions so you understand what you're doing.The class is difficult and you have to earn your grade but I worked hard and received a B which I am very proud of. She breaks things down so it's easier to understand.I highly recommend her!

She is super helpful and is actively involved in teaching. If you are a visual/kinetic learner take her class! She doesn't use powerpoints, which is fine with me.

This is a difficult course with ALOT of info to digest and recall, but Mrs. E is very caring, fun and cares about you and your grade. She is always trying to find ways to help us and herself improve, study guides,handouts,outlines to study for exams, wants to see positive attitudes and hard workers! Struggled but its a hard course no matter what.

Comment:

Mrs. Ethington is such a nice person who honestly cares about her students. She has a study guide that you have to buy in addition to the test book, which is a nice guide but pricy. test were not to hard if you know and UNDERSTAND the study guide notes. She was so helpful when I had to miss 2 weeks of class I will always greatly appreciate that!!!

She does not teach the class at all and unless you are willing to teach yourself a hard subject like this, do not take this teacher.

Anatomy is super hard but Mrs Ethington will help you to succeed in any way she can making models and slides available for you to use she is great but the class is very very hard she has a short time to get a lot of information to you and i think she does a good job with this.

Comment:

Mrs. Ethington is a great professor. The class if very hard and be prepared to work a lot outside of class as well as in class. If you go to class, do your work and study you should be able to do well in the class. She will definitely help clarify if you ask her to. Great professor be willing to work for the grade she doesn't just hand them out.
