Comment:

Ms. Mazza is a wonderful teacher. She is a lil whacky sometimes but she knows what she's talking about and is a good teacher. Just give her a chance. She posts everything on Angel (notes and review for quiz/test). I definitely recommend her for Human Bio.

Comment:

OMG Mazza is the worst professor ever! She doesn't even want to help the people who are failing! Not to mention that her "little quizzes" are super hard. Don't waste your time with her. Stay as far away as you possibly can!! And if she makes me touch another dead creature I'm gonna lose it! Oh and 4 ppl who don't know - she is the head of the biolo

Comment:

Absolutely the worst teacher I have ever had..she doesn't even go over quizzes after she hands them back. The class is hopeless and you'll find this out very soon after starting her class.doesn't tell us what's on tests,just a mess of a teacher.invest the time in finding a good teacher for a class that's already difficult enough.

Comment:

This class is difficult to begin with. At first the class seems impossible, but mazza is helpfull if you ask for help and as the semester goes on and more kids drop out you get more and more individualized attention with problems. The burden in this memorization class is on the student.She is helpfull if you have a question or need help.

Comment:

My recommendation is don't take her class. She is not very clear about information and she bounces back and forth, not making much sense. I was in the class for about two months and couldn't follow her. I try to do things on my own, and I would understand, then I would go to class and she would mess me all up. AP isnt an easy subject, and you won

Comment:

If you think you can go to class and labs but nothing more, then you won't like any of the A&P teachers! Mazza is fine, helpful, and tests are quite easy. The informaion is given, you have to put time in. There is a lot to remember. I think she is a good teacher, I would definitely take one of her classes again.

Comment:

Unclear teacher. Will laugh at you if you don't know something, even if she hasn't taught it to you yet. Ridiculous test material. Assigns work as though it is your only class. And can be very mean, if you don't know how to use a microscope perfectly, she will accuse you of failing third grade.

She was the most clueless person I have ever encountered. She was confusing, she forgot the syllabus on the first day of school. Her tests were ridiculous and her grading system was absurd. A waste of time.

Comment:

As a professor she was very diffucult and unclear but i did get to know her and I began to enjoy her class. alot of extra time is required with any class she teaches as well and extra meeting with class mates and time wither her alone.

I had her just for A&P lab not lecture. And I liked her. She gave us needed info. And only tested us on what she gave us. Practicals were easy. Dissecting is a big part of the class.

I agree w/ all previous comments, though she knows her info, she can't convey it properly enough for most students to get a clear understanding and pass A n P.

RUN. RUN NOW. DON'T LOOK BACK. sooooooo boring. impossible to do well. There is a lab where you KILL A FROG and that is against my beliefs but she tried to take away points. Lectures jump all over the place and never make sense. VERY BORING.
