Same A&P prof, same problems

[Dlansey]

My A&P teacher cannot teach. Not A&P nor the biochemistry she also teaches (or so I've heard). She simply pulls up the 1,000 page book on the PowerPoint and read from the slides with a boring voice that always puts me to sleep.

But since it's a 3 hr course + the 2 hour lab in one day she'll get really tired of talking and just pulls up a random YouTube video and makes us watch that. They usually be crash courses.

On top of that, we be having to go over two 35+ page chapters in the 3 hr allotted time in which she never ever finishes because she talks too much about nothing. Also she'll read the text to us and not tell us what we really need to focus on for the test. Which is really hard to study for 9 chapters on God knows what.

Same for lab, she'll give us the lab exam of pictures that are too dark to see and have random lines coming out of the page, so everyone's best option is just to guess.

I am really upset that I have to take her again this semester and don't know what to do. Should I simply do flash cards/outline all the chapters? I don't know how to study for this.

This teacher has about 23 bad ratings for A&P and for biochemistry on rate my professor

Please move this to the pre-nursing thread

I forgot to mention that I got an A in the course because she kept curving everyone test grades since the average was always a D or F. We only had 1 person with a F and a few people with A' and B's. The rest are all C''s and D''s for 30 people.

I wouldn't hang my hat on RateMyProfessor necessarily. It's well-known that people who want to complain about something will do it, on average, 25 times; people who have something good to say, on average, about 5. People who have an axe to grind (with or without objective cause) are more likely to go to RMP than people that were happy with their educational experience.

I hear you about this professor's apparent lack of lecturing skills, though; a chat with the dean is in order. Invite him/her to meet with your entire class. Have specifics, not generalities, when you do.
