Comment:

Best anatomy prof at Berry. If you're taking anatomy to actually learn as much as you can and to challenge yourself, she is the prof. If just taking anatomy for pre-req, don't recommend her. She is tough, lectures about material not in book. Tests are on book and lecture. Good notes and reading the book will get a high B or A. Tests are challenging

Comment:

I LOVED THIS CLASS! Yes, it is difficult. Yes, you will have to study your BUTT off. But, it's all worth it, in my opinion. If you like science, and genuinely have a desire to learn, you'll get a lot out of this class. I learned so much! YOU NEED TO GO TO CLASS. A lot of the lecture material isn't found in the text, and WILL show up on tests!

Comment:

Ms. O's Anatomy class was probably one of my favorite classes I've taken so far, BUT it has also been by far the hardest class I've taken in my entire life. She knows how to make class fun and interesting, but make sure you write down every single word she says in class or you're going to fail. She expects us to know every minute detail on tests.

Comment:

Ms. O is a stellar instructor and a joy to talk to outside of class. As much as I liked the course, however, Ms. O is not a reliable person and can act unprofessionally and neglectfully as a reference. I highly recommend her as a professor, but not as a professional reference

Comment:

She is the most difficult teacher I have ever had. She expects you to know EVERYTHING. NO exceptions! She is very kind and funny, but SO unreasonable. She put our Lam Final the day we return from Thanksgiving. I guess I am not going to be seeing family this year...

I had her for lecture and lab; she's great. She is very knowledgable of the material. This course was meant to be difficult, but she keeps it interesting and at a pace that won't overwhelm the students. She is also hilarious and dresses very well.

Comment:

Tests are unreasonable, she expects you tom know all the processes even though they are not on the test. Her tests are extremely long 85 questions in 50 min. She is a horrible lab professor. She is not willing to help at all. DO NOT TAKE HER, FIND A SUMMER CLASS OR ANOTHER PROFESSOR.!!! BEWARE!

Comment:

Take only if you need, and appreciate that this is a DIFFICULT class. You also shouldn't take any more science classes if you can help it while you are in this class. That being said, I really like the professor, she knows her stuff and is funny (bashes her ex's all the time to make for an entertaining class!) Be prepared to STUDY!

HORRIBLE. DO NOT take this class if you don't have to. She expects you to know every little detail of the material and the chapters are so long! Her tests are impossible to do good on..unless you think a D is good.

Comment:

Ms. Orloff's anatomy class is very challenging, but also quite interesting. There are weekly quizzes and you can expect to find that almost of all of the test questions come straight from the book. To make a good grade, I recommend reading the book thoroughly.

Comment:

She expects you to come to class but you would be able to save time if you didn't have to. Don't bother taking notes just read the chapters in the book before the test, oh but even that might not help you pass the test. If you don't have to take anatomy at Berry, don't!

Comment:

I'm a Biology major, and Anatomy was one of the most difficult courses that I have taken. I studied extremely hard for every test and quiz because I was interested in the material. Mrs. Orloff was awesome, and I thoroughly enjoyed the class. I had the opportunity to also TA for Mrs. Orloff, and I enjoyed her even more!Take good notes and study hard

Mrs. Orloff is a wonderful teacher who is smart but requires you to put in the work. She expects a lot but she also teaches well. Come to class and take lots of notes!

Comment:

Scatterbrained. Horrible teacher, but 1/2 of the tests I took were easy, and posts PowerPoint slides on VikingWeb. About 90% of test material is from the slides. However, she pretty much sucks in the way that she doesn't answer e-mails. How am I supposed to get in touch with her? She doesn't explain things very well.

She's a very nice person but teacher wise she's not anything special. We mostly just took notes off of power points and worked out of the lab manuel. It's a pretty easy class

Comment:

Without a doubt the worst Prof I have ever had. She doesn't teach, unless you call reading off publishers' notes teaching. Too much material crammed into each lab. Exams are poorly worded and she is unwilling to adjust low grades resulting from her dumb questions. She also seems to have no sense of appropriateness regarding in-class discussions.
