The best prof ever
Professor Wilbanks is amazing! For a cell physio class, she doesn't emphasize on any rigid memorization. Instead, she tests on general metabolism patterns and whether you can apply them to other scenarios. The tests are easy to prepare for as they are the exact same style as the problem sets, make sure to be able to explain diagrams really well.
I loved professor Wilbanks. She was very clear with what we needed to know for the midterm and had great explanations. She was super engaging and I loved going to class, I wish she taught all quarter!
Loved her, wish she taught the whole quarter. Very engaging lecturer, and makes things very clear
