Good prof, but gives a TON of homework assignments that are not mentioned on the syllabus. She is funny and wants to help where she can, but is disorganized most of the time.

Best prof from 1st year! She is so nice and really wants everyone to pass. Online tests and exams mean you really have to be prepared but super straightforward. Taking more classes with her for sure!

She's so much fun and so entertaining! Sometimes hard to understand because she speaks fast and not very loud, but as long as you show up and copy notes with the slides she provides, you should be fine! Would definitely take another class with her!

Very caring and considerate if you run into trouble with being able to attend lab sessions, or if there's difficulty with lets say The Lockdown browser not working properly not allowing you to do a mid-term. She's really great!

Incredible. Friendly, approachable, dedicated, understanding. Interesting course, she focuses on the students and their needs. Genuinely wants nothing but the best for all. Lectures are posted online but attendance is mandatory for success in tests. Gives a lot of homework that's meant to boost your grade. Truly amazing prof, highly recommend her.

Comment:

She's a nice lady, but you won't get a good grasp anatomy & physiology unless you're responsible for your own learning. I had peers who received 100 at the end of the semester after getting 60s and 70s on online evaluations. A nice professor and an easy A doesn't mean you're learning, which is a big problem for health care professional students.

A very quirky and easy to talk to professor. Lectures are not mandatory but she will ask questions that will be counted as bonus marks when you answer them. She was able to make the course easy to understand and interesting while also covering a large amount of material.

She's very approachable and there for you. Her lectures are pretty fast paced, but are clear and make sense. The majority of the tests are online and aren't too challenging, although I found multiple times that the some of the questions were worded poorly so I wasn't sure what the question was asking.

She is fantastic, very caring person and approachable. Seriously, if you have anything going on just let her know and she will do her best to accommodate you. She does give a lot of assignments but they don't take that long to complete. There was a lot of tests which I found tough to manage at times but in the end she is very fair.

She is an amazing teacher, she will do anything and everything to help you succeed. She's very fair in her grading but she does give many assignments so she tends to keep her students busy however the work isn't that difficult. Just do what she asks of you and you'll do great!

Was really nice, made a lot of things online. Tests were kinda tough but because they were online just get a group together and it makes it much easier. Labs are enjoyable with medium amount of homework.

She is a great person overall and is very approachable. She gave us evaluations at the beginning of each class on D2L so make sure you use Adobe search otherwise you'll never get her evaluations done on time. That being said though, the evaluations were pretty easy to get 90%+ on all of them so just be organized.

Very funny and approachable prof. Quick to respond to emails. She does her best, but the course covers too much in a short period of time. Absorb as much as you can. Very easy to get a good grade in this course, but you probably won't learn much. An older textbook would probably work just fine, and lab book isn't really needed either.

Comment:

Powerpoints generally follow the book. Use it to review a litt'e after attending and you should be golden. She likes to give points wherever she can which gives you hope. A few questions on tests can be tricky, but generally very, very passable. The only ways to fail are by never showing up, never reviewing or by not taking the lab seriously.

Comment:

She's friendly and understanding but I found that I didn't really learn anything throughout the class. This may be because the powerpoint is lacking in information and is rather confusing, and the prof speaks quietly and quickly. No matter how hard I tried to pay attention to what she was saying, I always zoned out. Not a stimulating atmosphere.

If you have to take Anatomy, take it with Professor Lamothe. She is a fantastic professor and will always go out of her way to help or accommodate students. Above all, she's fair. Read your textbook, attend class, guaranteed you'll do very well in the course.
