OMG IVE NEVER LEFT TWO REVIEWS BEFORE BUT SENG LOW DESERVE INFINITE SHE IS AWFUL literally evil
if you want a C, take this class. if you want to feel incompetent, take this class. if you want to study for days on end and still fail, take this class.
Very good teacher. Cares a lot about her students, which shows in lecture and in section. Great advice for grad/med school as well. Great sense of humor!
She's HILARIOUS! Her lecture slides her clear and she explains things more than once so that you can understand the concept the second time. Her videos are helpful, too. It makes understanding the mechanisms much easier. She emails back quickly and makes microbiology fun!
the worst professor I have ever been taught by in my entire life. genuinely does not know how to make a test at all, let alone convey basic information and her inflection and tone in teaching is probably the most abhorrent thing I have subjected myself to. Please avoid her at all and any costs because she will genuinely impact your GPA.
I took it fall 2023. Now im back graduating but she's still the evilest professor I've ever had! The average for mid 1 is around 56 and mid 2 60ish. I was 15 pts higher than the average of any one of them and got 81 for the final bt still ended up as a B+. Just avoid her. Hard work doesn't pay off
