Comment:

She's hard but her big brain really makes you want to have a big brain,too. She appears to be unorganized because she is very smart and does everything in her head. I do not really love her because she does not seem to be easy to approach but her tests really make you proud of yourself if you understand Bio/NOt memorizing BIO. I wish she were here

Comment:

I enjoyed Dr. Koo. If people just read her notes, you would pass every single exam. I missed the last month of school because of viral bronchitis, and I still managed to study her powerpoint notes and pass the class with an A-. People who complain about her didn't apply themselves. Everything they needed to know was in her notes and in the book

Comment:

had this professor last semester, and she sucks !!! she does not teach, but lectures on the material as if you are a scientist already. If you want to go to med school, avoid her. My sister had her 9 yrs ago,( now in med school) and states that her material is PHD level. Avoid Avoid Avoid ! take this class at other school, and transfer credits in.

Comment:

I had her for lab this semester and she basically sucks as a teacher!!!! She says that you can always go up to her for help when needed but if u do she says to go figure it out on your own when you already have with the nastiest attitude. Since the first day i step foot into her class i was getting D's and F's on her weekly tests. I heard that she has been on probation for 4 years now and she still hasn't gotten fired. i really don't like her or her class!

She's tough but you will actually learn in her class, not just memorize sh*t for a test and forget it a week later. If there were more bio teachers like her, I wouldn't have switched my major to chemistry

Comment:

I have never met a more condescending person. She takes pride in shocking us with what we need to know and thrives on asking questions on tests that you were never taught. She says everything is "very simple" and is so egotistical it's sickening. Her class is so ridiculous that the students have stopped caring.

Comment:

she's really tough, but if your thinking about going to med school and can't get through her, believe me, u won't get through med school. she looks intimidating but if u do ur work, study, and get to know her, she's really not what everyone says she is. i think she's a great professor. everyone who hates her hates her because they never bothered opening their books and she probably gave them a big fat F.

HARD- thats it. Difficult course material to begin with and she is no help. Teachs on a graduate/ph D level, which is difficult to comprehend. recommend course for those already in 3rd yr in UMDNJ...

Comment:

I had her in 2001. The worst thing I can say is that she actually gave us a test on the day after 9/11. It was horrible. And the fact that she taught nothing from the book, but the tests were all FROM the book. Avoid!

Comment:

She is the worst teacher i have ever come across.I had an F for the beginning of the semester until the end.I passed the finals with no help from her.She teaches freshmen who are just getting to know the sciences as if they were already established science majors.Never allows ppl time to take notes.
