She is not a professor that takes their time into explaining things, she rushes her lectures. Along with being. very impatient. I would not recommend if you're trying to understand the material throughly

idk she's just really annoying tbh would NEVER take again would rather drown

This course has just barely started and I am thoroughly disappointed with this professors professionalism. Not only does she blame iClicker issues on the students but she is not very friendly or approachable. I can recall multiple times where she said opposing points and if you have the option I would recommend a different professor.

Pretty scattered, difficult exams, heavy memorization, lectures are really disorganized. Total grading policy was 250 points: 100 points exam 1, 100 points exam 2, 50 points hw (5 each: 10 points), and 10 extra credit points for attending (not correctness)10 lectures (iclicker). but the material was all given in lecture (book not required)

Great professor. Weekly quizzes and lectures prepared you well for final. Azarenko>>>Low

Retook with Azarenko and WOW, what a difference. Graded on weekly lecture quizzes and three exams. As long as you review your notes/slides, iClicker questions, and practice exams, you should pass the class. Make sure to pace out your studying. Azarenko was very passionate and questions on the exams are similar to the practice ones!! Her >> Low!!

Not sure why there are so many bad reviews... she is truly a great professor. Super passionate about bio and it shows through her lectures. Even at 8am shes enthusiastic and professional. Attending lectures is extra credit, 2 midterms, 1 final, weekly quizzes that are easy and very similar to contents on exams. Definitely would take again!

Great engaging lecturer who taught and explained topics very well. Her 126A/B exams could be challenging but being an upper div course, they were doable if you took the time ahead to study. Going to office hours was helpful to get to know her and materials needed to succeed in the class. Definitely recommend studying at least a week before exams!

Professor Azarenko was a solid lecturer and explained the course material really well. Lectures were recorded and attendance was optional but would be counted as extra credit. A majority of the course was memorizing drugs and their mechanisms, which was challenging, but doable if you spent a little time studying each week and went to class.

Olga is a great professor and is super engaging even at 8am. I enjoyed the class content and found to be interesting to learn, but being an upper div major class it is obviously not the easiest. It is memorization heavy but not challenging to understand overall. Stay on track with the material every week and attend lectures, you will be fine

A great professor with great lectures, but the amount of stuff you have to know is insane. You will enjoy lectures but you will hate finals week. Your mental well-being will depend on how nice the professor is feeling the day of making the exam, but besides that the class is exciting, and the topics are interesting.

A bit of a language barrier, but Olga is super cool. She said there would be no curve on the first day of lecture, but proceeded to implement a curve after everyone failed the final. Do extra credit, and try to do well on the weekly quizzes (quizzes are free). Material heavy, but she did well teaching. Just don't go into this class thinking its ez.
