What should I do?

Hi, I’m planning to take anatomy this fall, but I’m in a dilemma on which teacher to take. There’s one teacher who has really, really good reviews vs all the other teachers who have bad reviews.

I recently got into student government, and meetings are generally Wed (11am-2pm) about 1-2x a month. The good teacher has lectures on Wed (11-1pm), so I would be skipping at most 1-2 lectures each month.

Would you suggest that I take the good teacher where I might have to skip a lecture or two, or should I just go with a bad teacher and wish the best of luck to myself?

I’m stressing out on what to do, since all I’ve heard from other students are that the good teacher lectures well and has a high passing rate, while the other teachers are known for having their students retake the class.

You should honestly go with the good teacher and join another club. Do not miss any lectures! I'm pretty sure there are tons of other clubs and organizations that you could join at your school.

Good teacher is subjective. My teacher for both I and II (whom I thought was fantastic) many people hated because he was “too hard” (I.e., they couldn’t pass his class). Fast forward to level III of nursing classes and I bet most of them wish they had learned the material in his class. Take online reviews with a grain of salt.

Good teacher all the way! Rate my professor has never let me down. Bad review tend to mean the teacher puts things on the exam that weren’t in lecture.

Decisions in favor of your school course success should take precedence over anything dealing with extracurricular activities. Student government is a nice addition to your college resume but it will never take the place of A's in your required courses for graduation.
