the final highest score was a 74 with an average of 48. Majority of the tests had averages under 60. No one is passing and she does not curve. What does this say about the teacher? If the whole class is scoring poorly?

If I could have her license as a teacher removed I would. She's a poor teacher during lectures, just reads off slides which the slides are just the text book readings she has you do before class so she's not teaching anything. Doesn't offer good help outside of class/office hours. Your tests = stuff she didn't teach. Tests are poorly written.

tests have nothing to do with what you learn/read. she doesn't teach, she just reads the slides to you and yaps about it. for what sounds like it should be slight work, this prof. is just not it.

Prof. Low was the most hilarious professor I have taken so far. Although exams were quite hard and sometimes difficult to understand, all you have to do is take good lecture notes and make sure you fully understand each concept taught. I thought she did a pretty good job explaining everything and she made her lectures fun with jokes. I recommend

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.

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

Funny and easy to talk to, Professor Low was one of my favorite professors at UCSB. She writes confusing questions on her tests, so be on the look out for lots of double-negative statements and "E. None of the above" being the answer most of the time. Sit in the front and be sure she knows who you are - she appreciates candidness.

For being a conceptual biology course this class proved rather difficult. Her tests tended to take the general gist of the material and ask the student to make serious extrapolations. I recommend keeping up in the textbook, if you do so lectures are not necessary. Learned more doing the book on my own then spending 1:15 bored in class.

Material was not very hard but tests and quizzes were very tricky. The class average was extremely low but she used a bell curve. She is funny in lecture and teaches in a very clear way but her accent makes her difficult to understand sometimes.

MCDB20. favorite class. The teacher is lovely, very clear and explains well. Sections are mandatory because you get quizzed,quizzes are not too tough if you read the book and go to lecture. The slides are posted online. I got a B in the class but i could have gotten an A if i had read everything i had to. does require some time, i do recommend!

I enjoyed lecture, she made the class fun! The tests were straight-forward but be sure you STUDY THE SLIDESHOWS and READ THE BOOK!! It's a lot of information to take in in such a short amount of time but if you study you'll be fine.

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!

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!

would not have gotten an A if it was just her teaching the class. bad lecturer and worse tests. shes the weeder prof for a reason. just dont

Funny professor, yet miserable class. Exams are poorly written and not fully reflective of lectures. She does not curve. Exams are fairly difficult. My biggest tips are to go to office hours and never underestimate the difficulty of the class.

Her lectures/lecture slides are so unorganized that you have to organize it yourself to make it understandable. Sometimes is funny. You can't understand what point she's trying to make half the time. Yells in order to sound more clear? Doesn't work.

DEMON INCARNATE DO NOT TAKE BIO WITH HER DO NOT DO IT. SHE IS LITERALLY THE RIDDLER. "what cells do _____" is it.... A) right answer with a number off B) right answer with a word off C) right answer. D) right answer but the word is ambiguous so it hints at something else E) C+D F) None of the above Save yourself from her I can only pray for you

I'm currently in her MCDB 1B class rn and I think her lectures are very clear in information, although she can bombard us with a lot of info all at once. She's extremely funny and knowledgeable and I enjoy sitting through her lectures. Her test questions are very hyper-specific though so pay attention to details in the slides and attend lecture!

Super hard class. She is very funny/entertaining, keeps u engaged. This class takes WORK. Took over summer, 58% on the 1st test. Went to office hours, got some constructive criticism, then locked in. Went to all the TA office hours. 98% on the final, A overall. Anything is possible. LAZER FOCUS to learn this material. Then u know for rest of life!

Started online but in person after a month. Slides posted, but she gave additional info in the lecture. Section attendance is mandatory but the lecture is not. Lowkey hard. Take the other nutrition class through the health department. Like no assignments, so both midterms and finals are ur grade. Weekly quiz in section. Didn't expect it to be hard.

Human physiology is challenging, despite Dr. Low knowing the materials very well. As a sophomore at UCSB, it's the most difficult course I've taken. I often considered dropping it, but I'm glad I didn't. The final curve was a lifesaver, helping me secure an A+ with 86%. It turned out well despite the difficulties.

ive never had a prof who made me hate school before. until Low. she was so hard to understand (and not necessarily bc of her accent) and did not allow for questions. she was not particularly nice either. lectures were confusing and tests were hard.

literally hands down the worst professor I've ever had for a class I didn't even need to take. she knows her stuff but makes you memorize so much it's impossible to retain every little detail. failing grades for both midterm averages (and probably final) and yet only curved the final grade by one letter. avoid at all costs and take with thrower

She's so funny and sweet. Her lectures were so entertaining and could lowkey come off as borderline offensive LOL The TAs in my quarter carried and wrote the exams, which were all very fair. It was not an easy class — I had to study (since it was basically memorization) — but if you studied well, it's a pretty easy A on the exams.
