As one in the last micb class before she retires, she is one of the best profs I have been around. Clear, helpful, but exams arent easy. You will earn what you deserve.

Benbasat is EXTREMELY helpful in office hours! Maybe the people that came to ask her questions had not really prepared or fully thought about their questions. Can be a difficult marker. In lab she can be intimidating tho...

office hours is not helpful at all. she has a rude attitude in emails and during lectures. She walked out on us because the whole class was confused and talking to each other.

Comment:

Excellent teacher! She may not be the most clear at times, but if you make that known, she tries her best to explain To do well in this course, attend all lectures and print out her lecture slides as an accompaniment- they're a lot more useful than the textbook!BIO 112 was indeed one of the hardest courses I've taken, but this prof made it bearable

Comment:

MICB 202 is not exactlly the easiest course. It involves a lot of memorization and lots of understanding. Dr. Benbasat did a good job at making the lectures as interesting as possible. Her notes are really clear and shes one of the nicest profs I've had at UBC.

I dont know why everybody hates this prof. Shes great!! I had her for Biology 112 for the second time. (I failed Bio 112 the first time) and I got a high A-. I was very happy. I'm taking Micrb 202 right now and I love it! her lectures are interesting, clear and she's so nice! Try going to her office hours, she'll answer all your questions.

Comment:

Contrary to what some people are saying, Benbasat is actually a great prof. She has taken steps to make her lectures more exciting by introducing the class to various interesting videos. Her lectures and notes are usually very clear and exams weren't too hard-although some questions had bad grammar so it was hard to know what they were asking.

Comment:

this course is pretty much the wet slap in the face to the 1st years in understanding that ppl aren't going to hold ur hands anymore like in high school. Prof doesn't really care about u but since ur in uni, u are pretty much on ur own anyways to learn the details. midterm+finals r HARD but workable. avg ~66%-pretty good

A great prof to hve for the summer. She is very clear w/ the course material. She is also very helpful. Her tests are not too bad, and they are fair. In order to do well, u need to stay on to of it. Do everything that she wants u to do, the assignment, reading and online quiz. good luck!

Comment:

This is one of the most straight forward professors you will ever get. Her lectures are exactly what she says they will be and the material is practically ALL in her coursebook. Things that are not in the book she makes obvious in class. The ones who don't do well are the ones who don't spend 15 minutes looking over the material before class.

Comment:

GREAT PROF.clear, very approachable/nice. she really cares about her students. you can tell by the way she answers questions during office hours. ALWAYS go to office hours even if you have no questions. Just sitting there and talking to her can help you learn. exams were fair and quite easy. take her if you can.

Comment:

Dr Benbasat was not a bad teacher. She was pretty good at explaining things and tried to make things interesting. It's not her fault that she gets mad - I found the classes shamefully noisy for a university course. There were three whole rows at the back of the room that just kept TALKING for no good reason.

Comment:

She is one of the worst profs that I have ever had. She walked out of the class because people were talking instead of just kicking the offending people out! Her lectures are really boring, and its hard to learn anything new because she just read off the slides. Don't think about asking questions because she usually doesn't know the answer or so i

Comment:

things are most of the time even more confusing by her explanaition, and not good in managing time... the most difficult part and confusing part (at least what i think) she only spend very little time on it and kind of a rush at the last lecture in order to finish the course requirement. But still a willing to help teacher, not very gooding teachin

Comment:

she PMS's alot, never in my life did i expect a prof to leave a lecture hall cuz she was choked; this one did. u could say that it was because of the loudness of the class, which is still unjustified because she went haywire when she posted a PRS question, everybody needs to discuss it, she flipped out then and left.
