Pharmacology as a subject is difficult and inherently requires you to both understand the drug mechanisms and the drug names. There is a lot of content and it is hard, but Dr. Azarenko does a great job arranging slides in a way beneficial for studying. This class was definitely the hardest MCDB class as far as content but her testing was fair.

Don't do pharm emphasis. I tried really hard just to survive. You have to compete with those genius pre- med students. If i can get back to my first year, i will definitely change my major. Hard work never pays off. Im so glad that I finished everything

This course is extremely hard for me. Tons of materials to memorize for final. It's like a combination of 111physio + 126A.

She's definitely better than Dr.Azarenko but gave harder questions. Way better than Azarenko! She's really polite and respectful. The only problem is that she tested something that's on a single slide as a FRQ (though Dr.Azarenko did the same thing on 126 final)

decent bit harder than Olga but a better lecturer. Exam questions are much less straightforward and smith expects you to know the material much more in depth; one off statements that are only on one slide are fair game for exams. Does occasionally bring snacks for the class though

Writes pretty easy question for her portion of it. memorize the slides and you are Gucci.
