What Students are Saying

Stacy’s Foundational Skills Anatomy class was a dream come true. I learned more than I have ever learned in other anatomy classes. There are many reasons for this, chief of which is that Stacy is a very dedicated, organized, thoughtful and fun instructor. She held the class in her lovely work studio, and thus the learning atmosphere was beautiful, laid-back and comfortable. Our class size was small and allowed for us to go deeper than we could have in a larger group setting. There is of course a lot of memorization involved with learning anatomy, but Stacy consistently provided ways to make us think beyond just rote memorization: using games, song, mnemonics, kinesthetics, etc., she created an atmosphere where we had multiple ways to retain the information. I felt part of a team of learners and the atmosphere was collaborative, drawing on each of our different ways of integrating what we were studying. I cannot recommend this class enough!
