CollegeVery 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!
Did not know what kind of class I was getting into. It was more like AP Bio then actually learning about nutrition. Do not take this class if you do not like science. Only reason I passed the class was because of my goated TA Michelle!
would not have gotten an A if it was just her teaching the class. bad lecturer and worse tests. shes the weeder prof for a reason. just dont
Funny professor, yet miserable class. Exams are poorly written and not fully reflective of lectures. She does not curve. Exams are fairly difficult. My biggest tips are to go to office hours and never underestimate the difficulty of the class.
the final highest score was a 74 with an average of 48. Majority of the tests had averages under 60. No one is passing and she does not curve. What does this say about the teacher? If the whole class is scoring poorly?
