Comment:

Completed Dr MacArthur's class in May 2015 and here is my honest truth. She's a good teacher, she know her stuff, She condensed the assigned textbook chapters into her lecture notes and reads it TO you! She can be a bit rude sometimes when you ask her questions! Tips to pass: Do the review questions , Read the notes, do the ?s in the wrk book.

Comment:

She only reads off handouts. Doesn't make her own test she gets them from the authors. makes you cover so much information 5 chapters of important coursework for only a 100 question test and what you think might be important to study isn't she'll choose some random crap that shouldn't be on a test. Hard class if you work full time.

Comment:

Had notes in her own book plus textbook and lecture. Study material and grade will be high if you test fairly well. Study hard especially first test. Excellent educator for many years. She knows her stuff. I loved her, but you must study hard to make an A.

Comment:

Nice teacher, classy, maybe ADHD, but brilliant. Tip: Read Book page for page, word by word, then repeat x 3. Then read her Handouts x 3, again word for word, memorize everything. Know the info backward and forwards. To get an A, gotta also do the Study Guide (separate little booklet). I barely made an A doing this. FYI Half the class drops.

Comment:

Took patho over online summer course. Hardest thing I've ever done! I spent nearly 30 hours a week studying, and still barely made an A. Book reads like a foreign language and tests were the book, not her notes! Study guide was useless.

Comment:

Resents all technology including the online course req for wkend program. Tests are very hard and detailed. Know and understand EVERYTHING in the book and you'll do well. Curve to bring class average to an 80. Won't adjust test for incorrect test questions. Bitter & mean in emails (only contact). Killed myself for A. Book imprint still on my face.

Comment:

I took graduate patho. It needs lots of reading. She still gives curves on her tests to get most of the class a B average. That's very nice of her. Grade A is doable but requires lots of work.

Comment:

Pretty hard class. First time I have ever had to read a textbook. She reads straight off her notes, but the tests come from the book. Lectures are boring b/c she reads from notes, but has good stories. Study the book as much as you can. I spent 9 hours a day studying in a summer class. Fair on grades. There is a 10-15 point curve on every test.

Comment:

I took her class over the summer, and thought it was the most pointless class ever! I never skip class, but thought about it almost everyday in her class. Dont bother asking her questions, or she'll get mad! To answer your question, yes, her online class is completely online.

Comment:

She reads from her notes, but I think it's to assure that everything gets covered. There is a lot of material and she is always very well prepared. Best to come to class because the interesting parts are what she adds that are not in the notes and pictures shown on the overhead. She is a very smart lady! I enjoyed the lectures and the content.

Comment:

Lectures are read straight from her notes. She cares very little if you disagree with a test question. Will answer questions in class, but other than that, not helpful at all. You feel like she has beat you every time you leave class.

Comment:

Here's someone who knows her stuff and isn't afraid to share it with her class! She's tough, but she is EXTREMELY fair! Her lectures are always interesting and she can break information down to it's simplest forms (for those of us who don't have our PhD
