She didn't bother to show up for the second midterm or final. Read off lecture slides in 30 minutes (1 hour+ class time) and clearly didn't know the material well enough to answer basic questions. Study guides were vague, long, and did not reflect exam material. Zero accommodations for students with covid or illnesses. Do not take.

2 midterms, 1 final, and problem set/ case studies. Her slides are basically a copy and paste of the textbook. She will read off the slides and then dismiss the class early. SHE DOES NOT CURVE ANYTHING. The class average was around 65%. Doesn't matter if you're interested in the topic, she will make this class so unenjoyable.

the way she slightly rephrases the words on the powerpoint and uses a lot of hand motions as if that will stop us from realizing she doesn't know anything. idk if I'm more pissed at her or UCSB- this course felt eerily similar to my 8th grade science class and I pay 14 grand to be here. don't go to class, just memorize all of her slides and ur good

Worst professor I have ever had at UCSB. She is encouraging people to come to the final with COVID because even with the rising case numbers the final is in person and if you miss it you have to take an incomplete and take the test with another professor. Considering she knows nothing, if you took someone else's final you would definitely fail.

She just reads off the slides. Does not know anything about human physiology. Speaks very softly so you can't even hear what she is saying if you sit in the back of the room. Her exams have nothing to do with her study guide at all. Better off guessing what will be on the exam rather than using her study guide. DO NOT TAKE HER FOR THIS COURSE!

the reviews speak for themselves. i can't believe im paying so much money just for a professor to read off the slides and not know a single thing about physio. i guarantee you if she took her own exams, she would not pass it. do NOT take her and if you do, get ready to teach yourself bc she will not help you at all.

does not know how to teach, reads word for word off of the slides, if you have a question she goes back and reads the exact same words and hopes that answers your question and moves on. I could have taught this class and I have no knowledge for this course.

To all the comments about her not knowing physio, unable to answer any questions, inflexible, etc. 100% complete facts, why am I even going to school here if I am paying for an expensive teleprompter as a professor. Had to self-teach everything with the book and online resources. I feel bad for my fellow classmates, the TAs, and myself.

The professor doesn't seem like she knows physio at all. She reads off the slides that was copied from the textbook. Lecture is suppose to be an hour and 15 minutes but she only uses 20 minutes. She couldn't answer any of the student's questions. She refuses to post any answer keys for hw and midterms. Not responsive on email.

she is clearly unfamiliar with the material as she seems unsure of information during lecture and is often unable to answer students' questions. she won't release answer guides for exams and worksheets, gauchospace pages aren't up on time, and lecture slides often have errors. i relied on notes from mcdb1b to study. if you can avoid it, DO NOT TAKE

seriously just don't do it. her tests aren't impossible but there's SO much to memorize. i honestly feel bad for her because i seriously don't think she's supposed to be teaching this course and it shows. she can't answer students questions and sometimes even asks if anyone else knows the answer. immense amount of memorization needed for tests. ;/
