Very intense class, but totally doable and worth it if you put the time and effort into it. Dr. Blank will push you to your limits, but is only trying to make you a better student and prepare you for a biology, HHP, and nursing career.

The best teacher you'll ever have. Be prepared to dedicate all your time to this class though. She is a wonderful person and genuinely cares about you and wants all of her students to succeed. She actually asked me to start studying with another student to help her pass the class! She is great.

Comment:

Dr. Blank is tough. She has very high expectations but for a good reason. If you are going into the medical field anatomy is not something to take lightly. You will need to study frequently. The PAL program helped me but I also got a lot of assistance from Dr. Blank at her office hours which also helped even more. You also get brownie points for it

Dr. Blank is an amazing teacher, she loves anatomy and her students. The class is very tough, be prepared and take great notes or you will do poorly in her class. She is the best, I couldn't imagine having someone else teach this class.

Comment:

Dr. Blank is clear, cut, and to the point. She has high expectations, because she is preparing you to go onto nursing, or human health and performance, or medical related science majors. You'll be dealing with real people, and if she doesn't apply this much academic pressure, than she would be wasting your time.

Dr. Blank is an exceptional professor. The class isn't easy and you will have to work your butt off in order to pass. She does require a lot. Most of my school time was devoted to this class. But you will learn a lot and she really does care about her students and their success.

Dr. Blank is an amazing teacher. She makes every attempt to help you out in the class. She has office hours nearly all the time and she does weekly tutoring sessions. She definitely knows what she is talking about! If you're looking for an easy class, look again. This class is tough! But, if you need it for your major it is possible to pass!

Comment:

Dr. Blank definitely knows her stuff! She makes you work really hard, so I wouldn't recommend it if you want a relaxing class. She's very helpful outside of class and devotes personal time to private study sessions. After this class you WILL know the subject. Worthwhile for careers in this subject.

Dr. Blank was the best teacher I have ever had! She was clear in lecture about what we needed to know on exams and dedicated to helping her students reach their full potential. Be prepared to work hard for her class because she has relatively high standards. Gateway is not the same without her.

Comment:

Dr. Blank may be difficult to pass, but you will definitely KNOW your stuff when you do. She truly cares that you succeed and wants to prepare all of her students for future classes and careers. It is thanks to Dr. Blank that I am doing as well in nursing as I am. Gateway will be losing one of their best assets when she leaves. :(

Comment:

Smart person. Horrible teacher. Covers material too quickly, you'll be at least two to three chapters into the next section on the day of the previous sections exam. She covers material too fast, you'll attempt to learn in 8 weeks what doctors learn in 4 years. Good luck.

Exercise in frustration and a waste of your time. Knows material superbly, lousy at passing it on to her students. Hard subject made SO much harder. Nearly impossible.Does not answer questions directly. Most have dropped her class, only a VERY few will pass. Don't waste your money!

She is an INCREDIBLE professor, but she is very tough also. I enjoyed her class and am actually taking the second part of it in the Spring. I recommend taking a class from her if possible, but be prepared to WORK YOUR BUTT OFF!!! :)

Dr. Blank is amazing. She is not easy, but you will really know your anatomy when the class is over. She is always willing to help and very friendly. She is a great teacher in and out of class, she really cares about her students and will take to time to help you out any way she can.

Comment:

She was difficult meaning there was a lot of material to cover. Each chapter had like 40 pages and each exam was two are three chapters. If you are looking for an easy teacher don't take her, but if you want to know the information you should. She will stay in her office for as long as it takes for you to get it. She wants you to be successful.
