Comment:
She made this class unnecessarily difficult and asked questions in our exams that some of them were not very relevant such as "what did the blue line in the EMG test indicate?" when the lab was weeks ago.

Dr. Byrd is such an amazing professor at EKU. I took her for Advanced Human Anatomy and Neuroanatomy. Her lectures are very straightforward, interesting, and she has a great sense of humor! I have learned so much from her classes. The material is heavy and you have to study frequently but that is expected for upper level biology courses.

Dr. Byrd reminds me of the cool aunt that you are excited to see on the holidays. She is hilarious and definitely knows her material. Study heavily before the tests and you will pass

I didn't go to class super often and near the end she started giving out guided notes as a grade so look out for her switching things up. Everything you need to know is on the powerpoints and she makes study guides. I would recommend this class.

Pop quizzes every week, but i feel like this helped me learn the material at a pace instead of cramming before the test. As long as you study this class will be cake. This professor is funny and i loved attending her lectures. She gives extra credit on every quiz and exam. I recommend making flashcards on quizlet to study!

A savage. She doesn't filter anything she says and can be funny at times, or embarrassing. She's older and grades very tough. My anatomy lecture was completely self taught offline PowerPoints and lab quizzes were given every week. Homework was also very heavy in this course.

Comment:
Pretty easy class as long as you show up and take good notes. Very hard to reach outside of class. Lectures are pretty boring. The tests are slightly difficult, a lot of the things that she mentions in class will be on there but wont be on the power point. She gives a lot of small easy assignments and also extra credit.

I took her for a Biology of Sex class, which can go bad very easily but I really enjoyed her and the class. She is so funny and will joke throughout the entire lecture almost everyday. The tests aren't bad as long as you go to class and actually pay attention and study a little. There aren't many assignments, my class had 7 total, very easy work.

Comment:
I had Dr. Byrd for Neuroanatomy and Advanced Human Anatomy. She's a great teacher, however, this is a class where you have to study for hours to memorize the material. These two classes are most definitely the ones that I've had to work the hardest to keep an A but they are very interesting.

Not much to "teach" it's a lot of memorization but you know exactly what you're getting into with her class. Study, make flash cards! It's a very boring class but her humor helps!

Best teacher ever. This class is hard, but explains the material well and presents it in an organized way. She is funny, so the class is never boring. The tests are hard, but no trick questions, so study hard. I have never said this, but you really don't need the book. She lectures & tests directly from her lab book. No extra credit this term.

Dr. Byrd is great, I loved having her this semester. She expects you to know your material, I took Anatomy with her and you had to memorize everything but she gave a lot of extra credit. Didn't use the book much, she goes solely on her own lecture notes so save yourself the $$!

Dr. Byrd was helpful and material was straight forward and explained well. I recommend the lecture online and lab on campus. If you work, doing the lecture online is much easier and you didn't have to read from the book, but use her power points.

Dr. Byrd is so helpful to students, she explains things perfect, her expectations are clearly stated and her tests are straightforward. The class is not easy by any means but if you study and attend class, you'll be successful.

Dr. Byrd is a great instructor. The class covers a lot of information but she does a good job of organizing it and explaining concepts clearly. You do need to study to do well, but if you know all the info going into the tests, the exams are an easy A. Very straight forward, no confusing questions. One of the best professors I have had!

Dr. Byrd is AWESOME!!! The class is difficult if you don't study, but make your self do it and then you will be fine! She is so helpful and will answer any questions you have. Attendance is not mandatory, but if you want to do well you should go.
