Her tests are extremely poorly written. They aren't difficult, but rather very unclear. She asks ambiguous questions and even if you answer correctly, unless you give the specific response she is looking for, which is not clear, she marks you wrong. To do well on the tests, instead of learning the material, you have to learn how to take her tests.

Low is fantastic. Originally, I was scared to take class with her because of what I read on here, but I shouldn't have worried. She's been one of my fav's so far. Don't read the book. EVERYTHING you need to know is on the slides and stuff she says in class. Print out the slides & you're good!

She is really funny and interesting to hear lecture, but I think people are confusing that for a good professor. I like her lectures, but I dont get what I need out of them. She leaves a huge amount out, assuming we somehow already know. Also her tests are brutal- not so much what she asks but how, very difficult wording.

Good interesting lectures, she has a natural ability to hold your attention even when talking about complicated concepts, I find some of the other MCDB lecturers a bit monotonous but Lowe is one of the cooler ones and really funny.

Memorize the lecture slides and just use the book as reference. The first part of the class was much easier than the second half, so be prepared for a tough final (thank god it's not cumulative). It's an interesting class and crucial for the mcat

she is interesting and good at lecturing, but the tests are extremely hard. has fill-in problems on the midterms, tough

Very good teacher. Cares a lot about her students, which shows in lecture and in section. Great advice for grad/med school as well. Great sense of humor!

By far the best lecturer in the MCDB department! The videos she puts up are really helpful, and she is great to talk to 1 on 1. She is hilarious & made micro interesting and really fun. I would take another class with her if offered :D

best mcdb ever

Best class ever and awesome lecturer. Prof. Smith is approachable and very help during office hours. Class involves a lot of memorizations and his tests were long. Quizzes in section every week so don't fall behind. Physiology is an awesome class, but too bad there's no lab.

She's HILARIOUS! Her lecture slides her clear and she explains things more than once so that you can understand the concept the second time. Her videos are helpful, too. It makes understanding the mechanisms much easier. She emails back quickly and makes microbiology fun!

Tough, hard to understand. Tests are very hard. Took during summer, very fast, wish I had waited until normal year.

A relatively easy yet interesting class, her method of lecturing and clear explanation made me warm up to a subject I generally avoid. By far the best science general ed.

Be prepared, don't try and cram there is a lot of information and he speaks very fast at times. His curve doesn't do your grade any good (due to med school students) so study the lectures inside out.

It's heavy material, but he's funny and passionate.

know your slides inside and out, and listen intently in class. He speaks fast at times so record him if you must. THe class is difficult because a good percentage of the class is pre-med. Pre-med students are studious. goodluck.

Very interesting class. Go to class, record it, read book for reference and listen to recordings. He is very clear in lecture, but goes pretty fast. You need to work for an A in this class.

Very straight forward class. Know everything on his slides. He asks very detailed questions, so have to know everything in order to get an A in the class. He's kind of snooty, but put the work in and you can do well in the class.

this class was awesome. materials r very intersting and the tests were fairly easy... u learn a lot in this class. prof. smith was nice dude, and u don't really have to read the book to do well in this class. highly recommended for pre-med student(this class is practically a mcat prep course).

This was a very interesting but very hard course!! Be prepared to put in a lot of time and know the details if you want to do well.

An 85% was an A. That's pretty reasonable. Also- this is Human Physiology. If you want to be a doctor you better do well in it. The class wasn't easy, but a class like this shouldn't be.

This class is really hard! His curve is dumb because he averages the top 10 grades (usually around a 95%) and then bases the rest of the grades around that. 10% away from the top is an A, 10% away from that is a B and so on. He's pretty much a jerk. Interesting class, bad professor!

Great Professor, is pretty funny. Will take time and has patience to explain things. Can be tough, but its not an easy subject. Expect to be challenged and he will come through on his end. Great class.

Class isn't too bad, but Smith is kinda a dick. Not too helpful, thinks he's funny. DON'T sit with test after he calls time or he will take it away and declare it failed!
