Comment:

Professor Anand was a solid professor. She makes you work for your grade (reasonable bc this subject is hard). Her exams came straight from her powerpoints, which summarized the textbook. She says to read the book, but I never did and did fair on the exams. A bonus about her class is the curve at the end of the semester. Get ready to study hard!

Comment:

If you have the chance I would try to take this class somewhere else. Dr. Anand is very nice and approachable but the class itself isn't great. You have to study hard for her tests since the material is very hard and you can't really learn it in class. Be ready to try to teach yourself at home.

Comment:

The class average was actually around 68 on the lecture exams. I thought this professor was extremely fair, as the test material was mostly on key concepts and definitions. She also cut out a lot of material from the textbook to make her slides as clear and short as possible. I really liked her class because it prepped me for the TEAS. Thank you!

Comment:

This professor is terrible. She will read right off the slides that are online so it makes you feel like you dont have to go to class. You can stay up all night studying for these exams and you still wont pass. The exams are super specific on the material and there is a lot of material. :(

Dr. Anand was a super sweet professor, I wish all professors were like her. There were a lot of assignments in her class, but she always offered help, and she replied to emails pretty fast. She is extremely intelligent and familiar with various subjects in the biological sciences department. Highly recommend!

She's a great professor. Pay attention, don't procrastinate, and do the homework. IF you do this, then you'll get an A without any breaking a sweat. Plus she's easy on the eyes. :)

Dr. Anand is a fantastic professor. I would recommend her to anyone! She's ridiculously clear in her lectures, fair on her exams, and a genuinely sweet professor who cares for her students. She always does a little reassuring speech before every exam that eases the nerves. The book wasn't really necessary. I don't think I opened it once!

Great lecturer! Took her for Bio Stats and the material itself wasn't too hard but there is a lot of it. She presents it as easy as possible and everything on her tests are on the review. Basically come to class, take the notes (it's mostly definitions so flash cards help) and you'll be fine. I'm excited to take her for Bio 100!

Comment:

Dr. Anand might be the best professor I've had since being at SJSU. She's clear, and teaches by writing on the board which is a rarity. She has an approachable personality, and cares about her students grasping the information. She does online conference style office hours. She's a great teacher, take her if possible! Textbook wasn't that useful.

I can't believe anyone would give her a bad rating! We are referring to the same professor, aren't we?! Dr. Anand was nothing but wonderful. If you have moderate to good writing skills, there's no reason why you shouldn't get an A in her class! Extremely helpful, and clear in her expectations. One of the best professors at SJSU, hands down!

Honestly, one of my better prof. at SJSU. She's CRYSTAL clear on what she wants. This class was one hell of a ride (difficulty-wise) but she's SUPER optimistic about it.Also gives GOOD feedback.Overall: not too easy, but do-able, just follow the outline she wants.

Avoided complex & confusing parts of the subject. Extremely helpful in class, at office hours,responds to email quickly. Puts in examples to liven up subject and involves class a lot. Quick feedback on exams,class on schedule. Her grading methods are above board: exam key is posted & she discusses your scores if you want to know more.

Dr.Anand is a good teacher who makes her expectations known. She like things done in a certain way but she lists everything that she will take points off for, so just follow instructions=A. Study guides are given for all exams and exams follow the guide strictly. When I needed help clarifying difficult concepts she was very good at explaining them.

Comment:

I personally think that she is undergoing a severe identity crisis; She picks on students belonging to her own race, and makes sure she grades them unfairly- I am sure I deserved a 100 percent on all my previous tests, but she always found a reason to mark me down (a 'grammatical' error,for eg.).

She's no help at all, don't bother asking her anything you'll be wasting your time.
