Comment:

Now taking her Anatomy and Physiology at VCC. I am a university student that typically does well, so you think a college course should be a breeze. She is destroying me! On exams she expects a specific answer for her highly subjective and poorly worded questions.

Comment:

She now teaches at VCC. Not a good teacher. Tests are VERY illegible. I am usually an A+ student, but have a B in this class. She makes me hate biology, and it used to be my passion. Reads right off of overhead, and doesn't really teach. Highly unorganized. If you do not understand what is said in the text, then you may as well drop the course.

Comment:

She is a very irresponsible prof. I tried emailing her and she just doesn't respond. Additionally her exam questions are very incomprehensible, and ambiguous. They're long and tedious. You can always be certain you'll run out of time when you write her exams.

Comment:

She is NOT Funny. Gives us learning objectives, but she needs teaching objectives. Terrible, terrible, terrible prof. I will delay my degree if she is teaching a class that I need.

Comment:

She was very disorganized and had very poor wording in her exam questions and lecture notes. Since the textbook is incredibly detailed and quite overwhelming, take good notes in class because her exam questions come straight from class discussion. There's a lot of material in this course and it's a good one, but wait for a different prof.

Comment:

Incredibly disorganized, very unclear with EVERY concept explained. The worst part of this prof is she can't make up exams. Questions were asked in a manner that is most confusing. Complete crap questions compounded with incredibly long exams equal nobody finishing. Heed the warning...avoid at all costs...

Comment:

Knows the subject but terrible at teaching it. Materials are based on different texts but only tells you to read the most useless one for clarification. Impossible office hour. Ambiguous standards vary from exam to exam. The pace and quality of the lectures vary, depending on how much time is available before each exam. Try to avoid her class.

Comment:

She just doesn't know what she's doing. Her lectures aren't too bad if you get used to it, but it's better to read the text instead. For her tests, she looks for speciific details instead of general understanding on the major concepts. Just dun take her courses, ever.

This person doesn't know how to teach, her lectures and notes are simply useless. Take her course and you will know why she is rated with a sad face.

Comment:

provides unclear notes mainly consisting of pictures, has awful writing that is difficult to read. tests do not cover most of the material that is in the required readings. very unhelpful. the course material is interesting when you read the book but lecture is awful. wait for another teacher before taking this class.

Comment:

She is a slow-talking prof, enough to bore you to tears. pretty clear on her lectures, but once exam time comes, everything she taught ISN'T on the test.Unhelpful. Really short, too.

Comment:

her tests are fairly easy (especially written). The only thing is, she is very rude and unhelpful. Sessional profs are the worst and I recommend everyone to not take this course during the summer semester.

Comment:

She can't communicate ideas, let alone speak properly (I know the back of her head awefully well). She is always late and never ready for class, and her notes consist of 30 colour pages with only one paragraph of information. Just hope for a good TA.
