please don't take this professor, I withdrew from her class because of her discriminating act, and you can wake one morning with a different grade.

Anatomy&Physiology -The course was hybrid. She is an amazing teacher but she is tough and will tell you that. You will have to work for your grade. You must watch all lectures and the supplemental material in order to pass tests. She grades hard. Practicals you must study and spell correctly. Loved the experience

She is AWESOME and hilarious. I am taking her in the Fall for A&P 2 as well. I took her as an hybrid course & it was lecture heavy but doable. Its hard but anatomy is hard and if you want to be successful in nursing school, it is going to take some work! I like the way she explains stuff in lectures. Gives extra credit.

Comment:

Worst professor ever! I had her for AP2 hybrid and I could not believe how horrible of a professor she was. She uploaded lecture videos last minute, did not give us the proper resources to succeed in this course, and was a nit-picker with grading exams. She does not take the time to make sure her students understand the material.

Comment:

Okay this professor is great for really understanding anatomy. People say shes a tough grader but ANATOMY is tough!!! I have taken AnP one and two at another school and hated my professors. Wendy is a great teacher but you have to do your part and learn the material if you want to do well. She is very understanding and quite funny. Take this class!

Wendy is amazing, I loved her so much I took her for both classes. She's tough, but A&P is a hard subject. She expects you to know your stuff and won't hand out grades, but cares so much about her students. Her exams are pretty hard; she's rough on you because she wants you to be prepared, I know so much for nursing school from her class.

Comment:

Rappazzo is definitely one of the hardest professors here. There is an over load of work and even if you spend 15+ hours outside of class still not enough for the tests. If you want in the nursing program definitely take another professor for A&P.

Comment:

Professor Rappazzo is an outstanding educator. She provides her students with plenty of tools to do well in her class (pract. quizzes, outlines, study guides, chapter reviews, study tips). Hybrids arent for everyone but if you put in the necessary work (reading/watching lectures) youll pass! Shes tough, but prepares you for tougher classes ahead

Comment:

Professor Rappazzo does her best to make a hybrid course passable. The coursework is a lot but if you spend the time wisely, you can do well. Tests were difficult but she gives you all the tools necessary (take practice quizzes repeatedly), these are most of the multiple choice test questions. She gives extra credit and I felt she was very fair.

DO NOT TAKE HER SHE IS SUPER RUDE VIA EMAIL. YOU SPEND LITERALLY 24/7 DOING WORK FOR HER CLASS AND IT DOESN'T PAY OFF AT ALL. I WOULD NEVER TAKE HER AGAIN THE TESTS ARE RIDICULOUSLY HARD AND THE STUDY GUIDES SUCK. THE AVERAGE GRADES ON TESTS ARE 50% FOR THE WHOLE CLASS. SHE SHOULD NOT BE A PROFESSOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment:

Mrs. Rappazzo gives you more than enough information to study from. She has exam study guides and practice quizzes that you can take multiple times. Her lab percentage is higher than her tests and there is no reason you shouldnt get at least a 90 on every lab. I took he class a hybrid which is not for most people. Her tests are vey hard

Comment:

Makes it close to impossible to get an A or B in her class & finds a way to take points off even if you follow the rubric. Tests are very hard & study guides are useless. A lot of the assignments are unrelated to the material. Most of the class felt our grades did not match the amount of effort we put in, which for me was more than any other class.

Comment:

Good and bad. First good, she provides you with tools to study (which you'll need because she over study's you). Bad, everything you learned is a go on EXAMS and she doesn't narrow anything down. EXAMS are extremely hard. You'll study for hours. Her class should be a 6 credit class considering all the outside classroom time you'll need.

I took Rappazzo for 119, 203 and 204. She's fantastic as long as you are willing to do the work. She gives you absolutely everything you need to succeed & then some. If you're flopping and you go talk to her she is more than willing to help you. It's a lot of work on difficult material but it's important stuff if you're going into healthcare

Wow, all I have to say is she is one of the hardest professors at this college. You have been warned. Her exams are extremely tough, even with a study guide. Labs are what you make of them, not difficult if you study. I don't recommend taking her if you have a job, or family or taking other classes. She will work you.

I took Professor Rappazzo for A&P 1&2. It is not an easy class to get an A in. That being said, I remember mostly everything from her class and think she is the best one at HCC to take if you are interested in applying to the nursing program. She sets you up to succeed & to know you're stuff in nursing school. Would recommend her to anyone.

Comment:

If you want to get into the nursing program do not take her. Take an easier professor to Get in. Students getting Cs and Bs in professor Rappazzo class are probably more knowledgeable in a&p than those getting As or Bs from another a&p professor, but Knowledge or not if u want to get into nursing take another professor.
