Did not give additional help even when approached face-to-face. Good lecturer but that is about it. It was as if students were a bother at times rather than her reason for being there. Burn out?Rate My Professors ↗

I took Anatomy 328/329. I found her kind, helpful, and willing to discuss topics with you after lecture. Not to mention that her lectures were hilarious and informative. There's a lot to learn in a short period of time, so you'll have to really work for it, but that's the subject matter and not her fault. Best professor I've had.Rate My Professors ↗

Karen and the other anatomy professors are very clear cut on their expectations. Anatomy can be boring to learn at some times, and there's ALOT of information you have to learn. Given this, the profs are very clear about their expectations and throw in some im some interesting info to break up the lectures. Also there's no need to get a textbook!Rate My Professors ↗

Karen organizes her lectures poorly. It's very much her class and it's clear that students aren't important to her. Isn't willing to help individually, must post questions for all students to see. When asked how you can prepare better for exams she just says study harder. 3 very very difficult exams and 10 online quizzes. Only take if you have to.Rate My Professors ↗

Honestly, its a shame that this class sucks so much as it is knowledge that is very important to peoples careers. Karen was terrible. She and the other professors don't care about you or your grade. There is no outside help, and the tests were just ridiculous.Rate My Professors ↗
Quality 2/5Difficulty 5/5
This class is ridiculously hard to do well in. There is not outside help offered or office hours. Sped through lectures in order to get done early. DOES NOT CARE ABOUT STUDENTS. Honestly, don't take this class unless you have to because it screw your grade over. Don't buy the text book either! completely uselessRate My Professors ↗
