Reviews of professor Amity Peterson

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Peterson is obviously very bright and put a lot of work into teaching. She let us know upfront the level of difficulty and how much work it would take to pass. Its a very tough class but I understand that it needs to be difficult if Im going to succeed in the medical field. She had regular office hours and responded well to email questions.

the lectures was online and was basically just reading the textbook aloud. Does not teach at all when you have questions. the practice test are good for only knowing what is not going to be on the tests. The lecture and lab tests are extremely difficulty. Spent an average 30 hours a week studying and failed the class with a 1.9.

I took BIO241 twice from Amity. Lets face it; the class in itself is tough. Be prepared to study A LOT for this class regardless of the teacher. Her lectures are recorded online to watch from home but lab attendance is mandatory. Keep her in the loop & she will do everything she can to help you succeed. She is very fair & kind. I enjoyed her class

A lot to learn in a short amount of time, without much guidance from the teacher. You will need to set a lot of time aside to study as the course material is tough to understand and will not resonate solely from her lectures. She does however provide many helpful websites and gives opportunity for extra credit. Lacks in approachability.

I have had a very good experience with the professor despite how hard the course is-which we were told on Day 1! She has been very compassionate about my testing anxiety and taking extra time to explain things to me. I have to disagree that shes unapproachable. When my son was sick she was very understanding about me missing class. She cares!

The class structure is not the best. exams get pushed back a lot and you only have about to a 1 1/2 to learn the nerve unit which is the hardest unit. The prof is not much help when you ask questions. her lectures are reading out of the book. she looks at you weird when you do ask questions. Does not present info that is clear.
