Comment:

Had her twice, she is normally late, rushes through labs, and kept us late a few times. She tends to pay attention to other students more, and sometimes completely skips explaining material to some lab tables. Has an accent. Other than not so great teaching skills she is a wonderful lady and likes to make jokes and see all her students happy

Comment:

Very nice lady that really wants to see you succeed but she is constantly late for lab so we never get everything done. She also spends too much time with certain students and ignores others, very tough grader as well. Nice and knowledgeable lady but unfortunately not a great professor. One on one teaching she is much better.

Comment:

Very nice woman, and very intelligent. But, poorly prepared for labs and her 3 hour labs always run late, sometimes even by 30 minutes. I had to go to review sessions with other teachers to better prepare for the lab exams since our material was poorly explained by her during class.

Comment:

She's a nice lady and really cares about her students, and wants to make sure you really understand. She's always available in office hours to help. However, she's a very tough grader (stickler about spelling!) and the 3 hr. lab somehow always manages to go late. Sometimes rushes through activities because of poor time management.

Comment:

I had Dr. Amin as my lab instructor and she was great. She tried to get you all to have fun during class and made jokes, which is helpful when your 3 hour lab goes to 9 p.m. with no breaks! Could've explained some things better and we were rushed for time a lot, but I think that's just how the curriculum is set up. Loved having her as my instructor

Comment:

Dr. Amin is funny and sweet, but she is a critical grader. She will take points off on anything that isn't completely on point. She loves her student and will often take as much time as the lab takes to explain everything which is both a good and a bad thing. Loved her for her personality, disliked her for her grading.

Comment:

She's so sweet! Her accent can be hard to understand sometimes, but she'll repeat herself if you ask. She sometimes gets caught up explaining things to a few lab tables and doesn't get to others and the labs are sometimes rushed towards the end. She's a hard exam grader, but she always gives you time to see the answer key and ask her questions.

She is a great teacher with a great sense of humor I have had her for two classes and will be taking another class with her. She is always willing to help and explains things in even more detail if you don't get something-highly recommend taking any class with her.

Dr Amin is a sweet lady. shes always making jokes and trying to make lab interesting. She has a problem with picking one table and always going to them and sort of ignoring the rest of us but she is a pretty easy grader.

Nice lady, doesn't know how to properly distribute time to all students. Accent makes it kinda rough to understand sometimes. Grades lab quizzes/tests very strictly.

Class was fun to go to, but she asked for just a little too many details on the test that she never mentioned in the study guide. She does give study guides for tests, but not for quizzes. Some group work but not a lot.

Comment:

Good teacher with a lot of enthusiasm. She makes the class fun!! Has the interest of her students at heart & will clarify a concept 1000 times to make sure you understand it. She teaches the details and it’s a lot of work, but she won’t misguide you for what is on the tests. Book wasn’t used much. Great Class!!

she is a great professor, explains things very clearly and is always willing to help. The A&P labs are very full though, and there really is not enough time for her to help everyone, make sure you ask alot of questions and ger her attention or she might just pass you by.

Comment:

You really have to go to class, take notes and study for the tests to do well. Make sure you know all the diagrams!! She has a lot of tests and quizzes and it gets kind of annoying and the exams are harder than you would expect. She does offer a little bit of extra credit.
