MCDB1B . Low S H 8 Days Ago

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.

111 . Low S H A Month Ago

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

MCDB139 . Low S H 9 Months Ago

1 group project (presenting medical microbiology research) + 6 quizzes (3-5 questions) that you take every week in your section, as well as 2 midterms and 1 final, which make up roughly 80% of your grade. Midterms were a cakewalk, with 100% being memorization. The final, however, was the hardest I've taken in college, but the curve was fat though!

MCDB26 . Low S H 11 Months Ago

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!
