very confusing and tedious class. i definitey put in many hrs before the final but got an A
she's sooooo boring! monotone voice, stands still behind the podium the whole time, and every once in awhile says, "does anyone have a question? well i have a question for you." her tests are EXTREMELY hard. have fun learning about plants.
Lectures are helpful if you can stay awake during them. Her tests are a bit ridiculous with the way she words the questions and it really seems as if she doesn't want her students to do well. The class is definetly passable though and plant bio only lasts for 5 weeks
WORST PROFESSOR I'VE HAD. End of story. Class couldn't be more boring, reflected by the fact that about 10% of the people actually understand wtf is going on. She is monotonous, says the same thing over and over, and tests you on your ability to memorize worthless details. STAY AWAY FROM THE FINK!!!
She needs to retire. Worst teacher at UCSB. Tests are impossible even if you are an expert at the material. Tries to confuse the hell out of you on every question. Completely unapproachable and very moody all the time. Only way to get an A is to get lucky no joke.
worst teacher i've ever had in my life. not only is she boring and a bad teacher all together, but she is unapproachable and rude to students. i hate her.
She is an EXTREMELY boring professor who seems to have no apparent interest for teaching at all. She just stands in the same spot all lecture and talks in this monotonous voice about very boring material. Her tests are extremely hard and the practice quizzes don't help b/c they don't reflect the difficulty of the tests. Makes your GPA go way down.
Horrible lectures. Tests are extremely hard!! Material not intresting and she makes the test questions tricky, like none of the above, or ab, or ac and that kind of thing. Avoid at all costs!
God she was terrible.
ruth-less. very hard final but there's a curve, so don't cry
she's the worst teacher that i've had so far...doesn't explain anything clearly, shows no interest in trying to help you, and writes the most difficult tests imaginable. she killed any interest that i had in that class
SOOO BORING! avoid at all costs. Material sucks and she sucks MORE at teaching it. NO SENSE OF HUMOR - will never crack a joke and is so monotone! made me hate Bio and i got As in all the bios before. HORRIBLE!

it seems that she is testing you not on the material but on how well you take tests!
Tests are soooooooo hard
boring lectures, and gives hard tests
Nearlly impossible to get an A in this class, unless it's the only class you are taking...or you are very smart!

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!
It sucks I have to rate this class so low, because my TA was really good. The subject matter was not as interesting as MCDB lab, but the exercises were much easier since we got instant feedback/unlimited attempts. Nguyen is not very responsive, you should never ask for help unless really necessary. So many tech issues, and she's not very helpful.
NOOOOOO! She sent out emails about tech issues happening but also still asked for proof of the tech issues, will give you 3+ grading criteria docs before giving any proper instructions on the finals, cannot hold herself accountable to save her life. Screenshot everything because she will blame issues on you before accepting she messed up.
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!
