Comment:

Cindy (DO NOT CALL HER MRS. GORDON) was the best professor I have had yet! Anatomy is a very tough class and you're going to have to work hard for it, but Cindy makes very clear her expectations and gives you the tools and resources to succeed. Definitely recommend going to Action Center and asking questions, they are so willing to help you.

Cindy is one of the best professors I have taken! Her class is the hardest I've had at OU, but she genuinely wants you to learn the material and do well. She doesn't take attendance, but if you skip a class you will not be able to do well in the class. Do what she recommends for studying and you will do fine, if you don't she WILL call you out.

Cindy Gordon is the best professor/teacher/mentor I've ever had. Her class is the most interesting class I've ever taken while also being the hardest. Make sure you KNOW everything backwards and forwards and don't try to memorize. Also, if you take it in the spring Exam 3 is the day after spring break. GO TO OFFICE HOURS EVERY DAY AND ACTION CENTER

Comment:

Anatomy with Cindy was probably one of the hardest classes Ive taken at OU thus far, but its also one of the best learning experiences Ive had. This class will make you study everyday but itll give you the opportunity to find the best study methods that work for you. You definitely have to invest all your time in the class to do well.

Anatomy is one of the hardest classes you'll ever take. Tons of memorization & study time. Cindy makes it fun in her lectures w/ her blunt but hilarious jokes. She has a big heart & is often misunderstood, not meant to be intimidating. Go to office hours & she'll help you so much because she wants you to love anatomy. LOVES her coffee & jellybeans

Cindy is by far one of my fav professors. She makes anatomy SUPER enjoyable! She is a great lecturer . She doesn't waste your time teaching material that won't be on exams. Action center is EXTREMELY helpful!! She makes it her priority to make sure her students excel. Tough class but easy if you put forth effort you'll do great.

Cindy really cares about her students. Study for this class at least 5 days a week or you won't pass. Go to action center and open lab. This was a super fun class, and Cindy really loves beer.

Cindy is by far the BEST professor I have ever had. Don't get me wrong, her class is ridiculously hard, but it is manageable. Go to action center, go to office hours, go to open lab hours!! She is so funny and made an 8:30 am class so enjoyable! You may hate the class while you are in it, but I promise you will miss it once it is over.

Love Cindy Gordon, she is extremely smart and loves what she does. Her lectures are very interesting and she is really funny and has a good sense of humor, however, this is the hardest class I have ever taken. If you cant dedicate your whole life to this class, don't even bother starting it.

Literally the hardest class I have ever taken, but she makes the class bearable. GO TO OFFICE HOURS AND ACTION CENTER! Do not skip lecture, all of the test info basically comes from lecture. Pay attention, take good notes, use the resources she gives you and you'll make it!

She makes it VERY clear if you have any reason you cannot dedicate basically your whole life to this course TAKE IT ANYWHERE ELSE. This is a HARD class I had to drop it because I didn't listen and failed the first round of tests, once I started spending everyday in the library my grade improved but still couldn't pass learn from my mistake

Comment:

The lectures are great and Cindy keeps them entertaining. The tests are hard, but are doable if you thoroughly study the lecture notes. Definitely one of the hardest classes I have taken. This class will consume your life for a semester, but if you stay on top of your work, go to open lab and action center, and study, you can get through it!

Cindy is an AMAZING professor and truly cares about her students! Her lectures are funny and easy to follow along. Highly recommend printing out the powerpoint slides given. GO TO ACTION CENTER! The worksheets are so helpful! Don't be afraid to go to her office hours, she doesn't bite. Tests are pretty straight forward, but are difficult.

Comment:

Cindy Gordon is the coolest professor I will probably ever have had. She makes lectures funny so that material is memorable, and yes, it sucks that they're early in the morning, but she has to get up too. Don't be afraid of this class. If you put the work in and seek the help when you need it, she is truly on your side. And so are your lab TA's!

Hardest class I've ever taken. It will be your life, but you can do it. Gordon is an incredible professor. The best I've ever had. She's funny, smart, and helpful. Go to her office hours if you need help! She doesn't take attendance but you've GOT to go to class. She always makes her lectures interesting so it's not hard to endure early in the day.

Comment:

Dr. Gordon is an absolutely wonderful professor. The class itself is extremely hard so she tends to get a bad reputation for being a bad professor but that is not the case. She does her absolute best to help any student that comes to her and will be there for you. You could not ask for a better professor for this course. Action center is necessary.

Test are time consuming and kinda tricky. Make sure you do a lot of studying on your own. If you don't you won't pass. Seek her help every chance you get. She is easy to talk to but she makes you work really hard to get your grade.

It's in your best interest to show up and be active in every lecture to understand everything. Required textbook readings often show up on tests, but she gives you several lists of specific things you need to know. She does bonus points on occasion, and uploads lots of online lectures. This is a seriously hard class, but she makes it almost fun.

One of the hardest classes I have ever taken. Dr. Gordon tries really hard to make the lectures relatable and she is hilarious. Be ready for an incredible amount of studying, if you don't study early and often you will fail. She is super cool, but she doesn't put up with shenanigans so come to class prepared and focused.

You MUST go to Open lab every chance you get. TAKE ADVANTAGE! As for lecture, i strongly recommend going to Action Center. She may be intimidating but she is always willing to help! I struggled in lecture exams but my lab grades were what saved me! Start studying early and be consistent! a little anatomy a day will keep the bad grades away! promise
