Comment:

Dr. Tapler is an amazing professor and I always enjoyed her lectures. That said, the tests are hard and requires a lot of studying and critical thinking. Her questions are pulled from the lectures and dont bother buying the book. Just make sure you study...A LOT!

Comment:

This class stressed me out the most during JI. Dr. Tapler is one of the few professors who truly knows her information. Her exams are extremely challenging. I recommend re-reading ahead for class and going to tutoring sessions before class. This class was hard, but with the right amount of dedication, it's pass-able!

Comment:

She is the only instructor in this nursing school, who honestly admits if she doesn't know something. In this case she will look up the answer in her files together with the student to clarify the topic. This is the best quality of the teacher. We know that instructors don't know EVERYTHING, other instructor should learn from dr. Tapler!!!

Uptight. Unhelpful. Painfully slow. Ice queenish. The Pharm tutor (a nursing student) covers the same material better in half the time. Def would choose another prof if i had a choice. Yuck.

Comment:

Dr. Tapler was a great clinical instructor. I have seen her listen patiently to everyone, even the whiners and petty complainers. And give her some credit if she was distracted during your "approach." She does just about everything at TWU. I guess some people were expecting her to do jumping jacks? Most of my peers think she's a great teacher.

Comment:

If you cant pass this challenging class then rethink being a nurse. Her notes are incredible and I reference them all the time. She runs the whole undergrad program needless to a say a lot on her shoulders expect her to be reserved and limited. She pours her energy into her lecture and is upbeat. EXAMS need a warning label "can induce a coronary"

Comment:

Yes her class is hard, but she's never let us see what we missed on tests to learn our mistakes. She says it's the hospitals that don't let students do as much anymore in clinicals, but I've talked to nurses at her clinical hospital and they have said it's the school that limits us. So I wouldn't say she's particularly supportive of students.

Dr. Tapler is very knowledgeable and knows her stuff! Ive only had good experiences with her. The class is very challenging; there are tutors and reinforcement classes available. Attendance is MANDATORY! You will only use your textbook for reference or clarity. The test are all application type questions & you must critically think!

Comment:

She is extremely cold!!! I can't tell if she is kind or what? But as a teacher she is very hard to approach and very cold. It made me wonder why teache if you are not 100% ready to help your students succeed. I know she is excellent and knows her stuff, but I found her cold and unfriendly. Also, remember to memorize her notes and book is useless

Comment:

Dr. Tapler really knows pharmacology! The material is difficult, but she tries to be encouraging to the students who show interest. Don't miss one class...the daily quizes will save you at the end if you do well...or break you if you do poorly. Overall friendly. Devote a lot of study time to this class from DAY ONE!

Dr. Tapler is amazing! The key to doing well is to pay attention in class and study your notes. Pharmacology is inherently difficult. Study, study, study!

Comment:

She is an amazing teacher. She is very knowledgeable. She knows how to teach pharm. Her notes are very organized. You have to study hard because her tests are hard. You have to think critically. If you read before class and listen everything she says you will pass on her quizzes.Reread the notes is the key to pass this class.

If you are lucky enough to have her as an clinial instructor... you're in for a treat. A wealth of knowledge but still humble. Also teaches pharm with a great knowledge base.
