Comment:

This class is no joke. No study guides which make this even more difficult. Its your job to literally read the whole book. Dont get me wrong, Prof. Trendler knows her stuff and will answer all your questions, but it all 100% up to you to do the work. No homework, or quizzes. All tests. Multiple choice and visual. Good luck!

Her class is not easy. If you are looking for an easy A don't take her. However, If you are looking to challenge yourself and learn a lot then absolutely take her! By the end of the semester there were only a handful of us left. I got an A but only because i literally spent every waking moment studying. You've been warned! Good luck!

Comment:

Well to make this quick grade is reliant upon 6 test. 50 question visual/100 point multiple choice :) not an easy class at all but my philosophy for me personally is, show up, pay attention, and READ/STUDY. that got me a B... and there is a curve btw.

Comment:

To do well in this class you're going to have to read everyday and participate in labs. Anatomy itself is not hard but there is a lot of info. The tests were extremely hard but by the end of class, I got used to the format. While this class gave me so much stress, I'm glad I took it with Professor T. She was very helpful and I learned a lot.

She doesn't have a clear grading scale, and she also doesn't really teach. She just explains her powerpoint. Prepare to read on your won a lot.

I have never taken a professor that was this hard Try to avoid her class if possible trust me Does not give study guides have to make your own and guess what will be on exam. If you are not great with memory this class is not for you. When we started class we had 30 students by the end of the first week we only had 10

Comment:

Professor T is not easy. You will have to read, highlight, and study your butt off if you want an A. She curves, but do not rely on it because most of the class will drop within the first 2 weeks. The remaining students will all be A or B students, so the curve will not help. If you pay attention and ask questions you will become an anatomy god.

Comment:

Such a nice teacher. She's not hard, the subject is hard and some people aren't good with memorization. The tests are hard, but they're supposed to be. If you study the right stuff and you're lucky you'll get an A. She says to memorize "everything" so that's what makes people upset. I did learn more since I actually memorized everything though.

Comment:

Slackers and grade-grubbers beware! Great professor, engaging, knowledgable, fair, but also demanding. This is not an easy A. However if you put in the work, study the textbook, come to lectures prepared, and actively take part in the labs, you will learn a lot and get the grade you deserve. Highly recommended for motivated, ambitious students.

I took her six week anat 25 class and it was pretty intense. Reading the text was a must. Tests were extremely curved. One would get 50% on tests and manage to get a C or B at the end. Field trips to the cadaver lab was interesting. If you have photographic memory then this id the class for you.

Comment:

I don't think I've ever studied so much for a class. There is so much info to MEMORIZE! Prof Trendler's exams were tough because of the amount of information she tested us on (5-7 chapters/exam). I mostly studied what she covered in class & did well. She's extremely helpful in lab and one on one. She knows her stuff!

Comment:

I struggled alot in this class and thought about withdrawing after MidTerm but I couldn't. I hung in there and thank God I passed it. Just in case you landed her Anatomy class, my advice is to stick with it and study all the materials. She's not that bad as many are saying but if you are looking for a walk in a park class, this is NOT it! Good Luck

Comment:

I had straight A until I took this class. Avoid this class by any means. She does not tell you how she grades, she gives no review handouts and does not prepare you for the final. I felt like I was doing better than most students and still received a B. Lectures are boring powerpoints and half of the class falls asleep. Warning! STAY AWAY!

Comment:

This class requires a lot of work. This is true of any anatomy class. I will say her exams are hard in that they cover a lot of material. You can get an A without the curve, but you have to put the time into it. She is great at lab time - will answer questions and spend lots of time with you. She loves what she teaches.

The classroom is never productive and lectures are always tangential. Do not take if you are not good at learning on your own.

Comment:

A very hard class. Attendance is a must. Uses powerpoints. Must not strictly relay on the powerpoint expects you to read the whole chapter on your own. Gives quizzes very often. Tests are really hard. tests are a 50 question visual part. about 5-6 questions with essay style answer. and 100 mult choice. must have no social life to do well.

Comment:

A teacher should teach, not read a power point presentation from the screen. When asked about testing her response, know everything. Teacher is burnt out and puts very little effort into class. Again, appears read power point. She will answer questions but that's a small part of teaching.

Comment:

Do not be sad if you have to in this class. It is a chanllenging class, you have to try to memorize everyting for the 6 exams, she put a lot of details into them. Do not be discouraged if you get low grades on exams. Try your best, and work hard on it, most students who donot drop the class get A's and B's with 60% or above of the exams.
