Reviews of professor Anna Taylor

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Her lectures are concise and it's clear what she'll test you on, tests only what's on her slides and during online, ran helpful practice question sessions during regular lecture times. She cares a ton about her students, is super engaging, knows her stuff and will admit when she doesn't. Tests are fair, needs some studying but isn't hard if you do.

Can be passive aggressive and I agree with another comment.. she does make assumptions based on your attendance which is mandatory. Class is difficult. Theres a ton of information on each test thats based mostly on the lecture. Also have to read the chapters in the textbook for the quizzes. Those arent too bad.

I had Dr. Taylor for neuroanatomy and lab methods. She was great for both! They're both challenging classes but she's very open about offering help during office hours or if you email her. I know she's very knowledgeable but often comes across as timid or not very well spoken. Overall still a great teacher. Solid option for any class she teaches.

This class was really easy, but she made the class even easier. Good lectures and amazing notes. Records lectures (at least she did in the Winter term). Accessible for questions and provides really good explanations. A rare professor who puts in actual effort to teach content.

Not a bad choice in prof for neuroanatomy, but neuroanatomy is a super difficult class. Opportunities for extra grade points. Tests are super tough and memorisation heavy. Really sweet most of the time but can be unusually snarky/condescending at other times.

Dr. Taylor was such a great prof to have for PMCOL 200, she made me enjoy every lecture (even the abstract parts). The class isn't "hard," but you definitely have to put time into it to do well. Grades aren't curved and have hard cut-offs for marks. If you want to take the course its super rewarding and fun, make sure you have Dr. Taylor too.

Dr. Taylor's rating is low because the class is rightfully difficult. I had her for summer neuroanatomy, and the course material itself is awful, but she does SO much to make it easier. She's also very nice and approachable. A 3.1 rating is deceptive; neuroanatomy is going to suck with anyone, but it'll suck less with her.

Please don't be scared by all the negative reviews for Dr. Taylor's Neuroanatomy. She is very sweet, a tough grader but she knows her stuff. Lectures are engaging with tons of clinical examples. If you rewatch her lectures and make a study guide based on the main lecture objectives listed on the slides, you'll be fine.

Dr. Taylor was an amazing professor and ensured that her class is organized. The content of this course can appear very heavy, but it is doable if you prepare early, just like she asks. She puts out lots of resources and genuinely wants you to succeed. Easy TopHat points as well.
