Comment:

Shes a doctor and when someone in my class asked her a question about what we were going over she simply said idk we can look it up when we go to the lab. She gives you packets to fill out and reads right off or them in class. Doesnt let your record her lecture. Practicals are ridiculous and so are the tests since she doesnt tell you whats on them

Comment:

DROP IT NOW!!! Shes a doctor and cant teach at all. Who just reads off the packets and then gives you the answer from the book. Worst teacher by far. Tests are 80% of your grade. Practicals are ridiculous, she doesnt let you record her lecture. Accused me of cheating on her practical. By the way I never cheated and ended up failing the class.

Comment:

Awful. Don't take her. You will literally have to teach yourself. Lectures are her reading off packets of notes that you have to fill out and have a quiz before every single class using those notes. I learned nothing.

Comment:

Super nice, but gives an excessive amount of things that need to be known, doesn't clarify exactly what will be on exams so you tend to over-study. Miss class, don't study, don't do notes and you'll most likely fail. Study everything talked about, do notes, show up to class and you should be okay. Despite the level of difficulty, would take again.

Comment:

She's a great professor. I took her ap1 and currently taking her ap2. She has a sense of humor. She does use the textbook, but she did her notes for every chapter. She loves drawing, which I like it. Sometimes she cuts down some of the study materials from her outlines. You only need to study her outline for her exam and study hard by all means.

Comment:

I will start by saying she was such a nice person. But the amount of what she requires you to learn, half excess, is actually too much and partially useless. You are not clear on what will be on your exams to the point you are overstudying, and then it was a waste and confusing. Outlines are busy work. It should be more clear and concise.

Absolutely one of the best professors I have ever had. Really cares about her students and passionate about the material. Very clear what is expected of you. As long as you're willing to study, you'll do well on her exams - they aren't easy, but they are definitely fair. Exams determine 95% of your grade, so make sure you do well on them!

Her classes were tough, and you had to put in a lot of work, but that's with any science class. She is such a great person, and she wants everyone to do well. I wouldn't have wanted to take my a&p classes with anyone else and I highly recommend taking her.

You have to teach yourself the insane amount of material you're given. It's frustrating having spent all of your free time studying for the class to only get a D. She's a cool lady though.

Comment:

Not a bad professor at all. Her workload has a lot of material you need to know, but she doesn't tell you what's needed and what's not on her 24 pages of outlines. Take her if you have the time and not with a total of 4 classes. Other than that, you'll pass. Tests are worth 75 percent, study the outlines as soon as you complete one before another!

A&P isn't a essay A class, you need to work hard for it. I've taken Dr. Bacha for a&p 1 and currently in her a&p 2 class. She explained her lecture very well. She does lots of drawing which help me so much during studying. Her sense of humor makes the class not boring at all. She's the best!

Comment:

Difficult course and this is a self taught class. You'll be getting packets for each chapter to fill out and you need these packets for quizzes. you can use your packets for quizzes so it's a gimme but when the exam hits, start praying. too much material to memorize and the exams are 80% of your grade.

Comment:

She's marvelous. Bacha provides outlines - fill them out, study them thoroughly, and you'll pass. She's a sweetheart (her blurbs of encouragement in the packets are adorable). She's not everyone's cup of tea, as she's lecture-heavy, but she knows what she's talking about. I'm excited to take her again for AP2. Her classes fill up QUICK; get in ASAP

TEST ARE ACTUALLY 95% OF YOUR GRADE. LAB PRACTICALS ARE EXAMS TOO YOU KNOW. ALTHOUGH 5% OF YOUR GRADE ARE BASICALLY FREE GIMME-QUIZZES YOU CAN USE THE PACKET FOR.

Comment:

Great prof. Heavy materials. Tests are not difficult if u really study. Advice: organize & simplify the materials before study; pay attention to Dr. Bacha's drawings and summaries; write down new words; make ur own summary; be proactive. I'm an ESL student and almost every word in the book ismy new word but I still got an A in this class. So u can.

Would never take her again. Worst professor I've ever had. Tests are SO difficult and count towards 80% of your grade. She barely goes over material so you have to basically teach yourself everything. You must memorize at least 3 packets (20 pages each) for each exams. I DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!

If you get her. Drop drop drop. She is the worse teacher I've ever had. Touch grade and tests are even more tough. I've warned you. Almost all of my class failed with her. No help. She teaches off of outlines you fill out before the class. Be prepared to spend all your time on this class to only receive a d.

Bacha is an amazing teacher. I wouldn't have took the time out of my day to write this if she wasn't . She really makes it easy for you to understand the material. You HAVE to study to earn your grade, just memorize the study guides she gives you and you'll get an A ! I love this professor, and would love to take her again!

Comment:

Dr. Bacha is probably one of the sweetest professors I've had ! She honestly cares about your understanding of the material ! but her tests are very tough and count 80% of your grade which is a lot! Make sure your ALWAYS STUDYING the outlines otherwise you just won't pass. She also gives out open book quizzes at the beginning of almost each class!!
