Her lecture is very very funny. She speak slowly, if you go over the lectures recordings (2x speed)before exam you will be fine. Her exam is easy. Since herself is not native English speaker, she will not trick you on language which means the wrong choices will be very obvious if you know you know.

The exams and quizzes are very very very difficult. Professor Low is very funny but the information she is teaching is extremely challenging and she goes very quickly and tests us on SO much information.

I went to every class, read all the required readings, and studied extremely hard for the midterms and final; yet passed, and that is only thanks to the curve. Be ready for exams that are nothing like her practice tests. Her lectures barely dip into the content covered on exams, so read EVERY sentence of the required readings if you want to pass.

MCDB 6 was the hardest class Ive ever taken, but not impossible. 2 midterms and a final; all extremely difficult, but there is a curve. Rewatch her lectures online and study for at least a week before any exam and youll be fine. I found writing down all the notes from the slides helpful and listening to what she emphasizes in class.

mcdb1A is a weeder class for med students, so you're better off taking this. It seems difficult cause most fail the first midterm, but it is heavily curved. she posts all slides online, so just memorize them and you'll get a decent grade

Yes she's difficult, but there is no way I'd recommend taking 1A over mcdb 6. I have many friends in 1A and it is 10x harder and has a lab. She isn't a great teacher, but if you are able to teach yourself material you'll be fine. The class is curved to a B-, so you'd have to try to fail. Hard to get a good grade though, but most of are fine w/ a C

worst professor ever. laughs when you get things wrong and likes to watch you suffer. very rude and not approachable. very hard to get a good grade in this class

PBS majors: I also thought that this would be an easy class to take since it's SUPPOSED to be tailored to our major, but you're better off taking 1A. Her lectures are so hard to sit through and she's just generally not an approachable person. If you're struggling (like I did) good luck cause you have to teach yourself. Extremely hard midterms/final

Took over the summer, so yes, I was expecting a more-than-average course load but Dear Lord. Holy. Mackerel. This lady surpassed all bounds of making this a weeder class. Unless you absolutely must, I would not recommend taking this course with Low because of how dull her lectures are and how unwilling she is to interact with her audience.

Lows tests are really hard. Nearly every question is which is false and it really tests you on details because one word can make a whole statement false. Definitely stay on top of studying, go to clas and the review sessions. Try to study the material before you go to clas so everythings review. Rewatch lectures. Iclickers graded for accuracy

Worst class I have taken at UCSB. Prof expects you to memorize way too much info in such a short amount of time. Lectures are extremely boring. Her tests are way too hard!!!!! (especially if you're a non-bio major. I am not exaggerating when I say she made this class miserable. Would not recommend. Avoid at all costs

Uses iclicker but only counts if you are correct. Two midterms and a final, both are extremely hard. If you do not study every day you will struggle I am not over exaggerating. I took this class twice and studied as hard as I could but still did not pass. When you ask for help she gets annoyed. Avoid it if you can. The hardest class I have ever had

Dr. Low is a great lecturer. The information in this class can be boring at times since it is so general, but Low really knows how to keep her students interested. Her test is very hard, the midterm average was a 64% but she curves. Book is not necessary, just really focus on the information given in class and write down everything she says.

Super entertaining teacher, love her lectures, but holy moly she crams in a lot of information in her lectures and her test is HARD. Semi impossible, even with tutoring... But the curve will save you. Pretty good professor if you ask me!

Personally, I LOVED Dr. Low. She is a sassy genius. Her tests will absolutely rip you a new one if you're not prepared though, so go to class, read the textbook, and have faith in the curve.

Not a helpful professor whatsoever. She laughs at her students when they ask questions. He tests have questions from topics/concepts not yet reviewed and are so difficult. Difficult to understand during lecture and has virtually no real office hours. Read the book if you have to take her class.

Just no. Horrible attitude to students doing poorly. RUDE during office hours. Like I know no ones perfect but really? Making fun of one doing poorly during personal office hours is wrong. Read the book, she regurgitates everything. Powerpoints include small details (one bullet point) that are on exams. Reviews do NOT lie.

Seng Low should NOT be teaching intro bio for PBS majors. I understand that it's a lot of material to cover, but she literally just clicks through the slides at lightning speed and doesn't even allow time for questions, and gets annoyed in the rare event someone does ask a question. She was very condescending to students. Don't recommend.

This woman will ruin your life. Shes evil. Her tests involve way too many concepts into one question and one word can make you get it wrong. Most people in this class are taking it for the second time, its only offered in fall. She doesn't care when we fail and blames us. Her averages were 57 and 62. She curves off the highest grade (85 and 93).

Honestly I hated this class. At first I found her funny, but increasingly I got frustrated with her. The average during my quarter for midterm 1 was a 57, and for midterm 2 a 62. Her lectures move incredibly fast and are hard to follow, her class is boring. She blames the students for not succeeding and doesn't explain answers to questions.

Dr. Low knows her stuff. However, she expects the students to be just as smart as her and will not slow down, answer questions, or try to explain concepts in a different way. Basically, just be prepared for hard tests that are nothing like the practice tests. Read the book its easy but the class itself is very misleading and tricky.

Dr. Low knows her stuff. There is no doubt about that. However, she expects the students to be just as smart as her and will not slow down, answer questions, or try to explain concepts in a different way. Basically, just be prepared for this, and READ the book. Her lecture slides are straight from the book, but the book actually explains it.

Reminds me of my tiny old asian grandma. She is very funny and can make a lecture hall of 900 kids laugh. She covers alot of material so you need to put in time to study in depth outside of class. Her tests are extremely specific and hard. Try your best to know important details. Print out powerpoint slides to bring to class.

Although she was pretty funny/eccentric, she moved incredibly fast in her lectures and didn't really give students time to ask questions. I felt like her test didn't focus on the big concepts discussed in class, but rather on the minor details that were briefly touched upon :( Read the book to prepare yourself for lecture and then memorize stuff
