Comment:
She is one of the best professors I have ever had. I had her for two semesters ( biocomp and tissue engineering), I wish she offered more classes. She is very smart and her resume is impressive ! She puts so much enthusiasm into teaching. Her classes are NOT easy. You have to work very hard for your grade and ATTEND to class.

Comment:
Dr. Bizios was my advisor. This woman was so passionate about how her students acheived, she yelled at me (yes, yelled at me) for not attending Grad School. For whatever reason, I think she was right. And even though I've learned through the school of experience about the medical device industry, I could have benefited more from an MS or PhD.

Comment:
She isn't the most approachable professor (putting it nicely)...and she tends to be very defensive if you question her. The class is really interesting to sit through, but her exams are REALLY HARD.

Comment:
Test questions tend to be broad and ambiguous; in addition, there is no pre-defined rubric and points seem to be assigned randomly. MUST attend lecture to do well on the exams. Professor does care about the student but views most questions as personal attacks, and can come off as slightly arrogant. Grades are based on standard deviations.

Expects alot from students. Tests are very hard, but class is entertaining. Don't miss class, as everything is based off of lectures.

Terrible! Never shows up, just reads overheads. If it's not on the overhead, she can't help you. Tests very hard, with very low averages. Don't take a class with Rena!!

She teaches only the stuff you'll need to know for the test. She can be harsh sometimes, but I think she teaches well. She expects a lot, especially in TBI.

Comment:
She just copies quations from the book. She doesn't seems to know anything except what's on her overheads. Takes off points for no writing all cancellations in equations. Seems satisfied with very low averages on tests. Only showed up to teach for about 60% of the class times. Not recommended.

She was only in class 60% of the time, replaced by some old guy. Her notes were simply copied straight from the book. Tests were ridiculously hard.

Her notes are just copies that she uses over every year. It was very difficult for me to follow what she was talking about relative to the notes. I thought it was a waste of my time to even go to class.

The amount of examples that she did in class and posted on the website clarified the course significantly. She was very helpful when I brought her questions about the grading of an exam, and I got 4 more points.
