She's decent. I took her as a summer class, and she was kind and respectful towards other students. All of her quiz answers can be found on quizlet or online. She has extra credit. Do that, get good grades on the homework assignments, and you'll be fine.

If you're a Pharm major, my condolences. The hardest class I've ever taken and the worst professor I've ever had. You need to know physio before taking the class or else you won't be able to tell when she misspeaks. She's also impossible to understand, highly disorganized, and expects you to memorize the cause, diseases, side effects of 100+ drugs.

In response to questions in the Q&A forum there were instances in which she just copy and pasted background information from the internet that vaguely related to the question without any citation. She frequently misspeaks when describing important concepts but never corrects herself, causing frequent confusion. Get ready to teach yourself.

Avoid at all costs. So much ego, so little knowledge. It felt like she made her slides directly from wikipedia/webmd, with no professional background knowledge and no course organization. She was just as lost as all of her students. I'm surprised UCSB thought she was qualified to teach. If she doesn't curve heavily, most of the class will fail.

One of the most frustrating and unfair upper div bio classes Ive ever taken. She was just not a good teacher, and her tests asked about the most random details of the class instead of big picture stuff like popular drugs and mechanisms. I feel like I actually learned a lot (by teaching myself ofc) but my final grade wont reflect that at all :(

First of all, aside from the terrible teaching skills and random additional 1 hour lecture on top of the regular lectures, she said NO EXTRA CREDIT. And literally the second week she gave everyone who showed up to that one lecture 3 extra points. Be aware the whole class is 140 points! Also the test is so memorization heavy. Who's gonna remember 30

unclear, learn yourself

Very unclear and didn't make expectations for participation points known. Also changed the grading criteria without telling the class. She disregarded evidence that students watched lecture videos and sent a several unkind/unprofessional emails when questioned. Read the book on your own to pass. Only positive is that she offered extra credit.
