Professor Anderson is completely scatterbrained. She may say something random in class once and it will be on the test, and won't be in the book or slides. She did not help you with reviewing for the tests at all. I felt sometimes that she pretends that this is a anatomy and physiology class. I would recommend avoiding her class if possible.

Professor Anderson is super nice if you contact her for issues and she's technologically savvy. She does not give extra credit and grades. The deadlines for discussion posts are strict. The class is not good for working students. I recommend not rely on her exams review because exams will be differ. The exams and quiz have double answers but are difficult to tell since all answers are hidden.

I think Professor Anderson is good. However, the review was about things that aren't very well addressed in the book. You definitely need to take notes and know your lessons for the test. She uses a lot of short answers and some multiple choice questions on exams. Also, she's very demanding when it comes to discussion boards. I took the Maymester class. It's very fast paced so you need to be prepared.

Prof. A. is a stickler for how she wants assignments done, but she genuinely cares about her students' performance and will work with them if they need assistance! She's actually very friendly! Don't be intimidated by her syllabus; as long as you show up to class and are respectful, everything will be OK. I felt there was unnecessary busywork, so it wasn't my first choice, but it wasn't as horrible as the others claimed!

I wouldn't recommend this class at all! Anything she "lectures," as others have stated, is not even close to what is on the exam. The tests are so confusing because she doesn't just ask you what she wants to know... YOU have to figure out what she's asking for, and if you don't respond correctly, you'll be marked incorrect! I really believe she means well, she's just really an awful instructor!
