Quality 4/5Difficulty 5/5
Loved the class, but was 0.34 points away from getting a C and professor wouldn't bump up my grade. Extremely frustrating.

ANATOMY328 · course not matched
Quality 3/5Difficulty 4/5
Lectures are organized very poorly and content is all over the place. Unclear on what they actually want you to know for the exams. Only take if you absolutely must. 3 professors tag teach this class and non of them were impressing in the slightest. Might as well just research the information on your own because the "teaching" is not there.

Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
Of the three professors for Anatomy, Dr. Cotter was by far the most entertaining to listen to during lecture! All of the information is clearly presented in the PowerPoint presentation, and she does a great job of going through the material quickly while also adding in humor.

Of the 3 anatomy professors, she was by far the best. Her pace was good and she kept my interest.
