Comment:

Phys was a challenge in the sense that there is a lot of info packed in for each exam, but this is said for most science courses anyways. Dr. King, however, is the NICEST person, she's extremely witty, and cares a lot about her students. She makes it clear about important information and genuinely wants to help you learn. I loved her a lot!

Comment:

King is super sweet. Her lectures can be a little slow at times which makes it difficult to pay attention in the morning, but she is very knowlegeable and passionate about biology. She gives extra credit and often curves exams by a few points.

Comment:

Professor King is a great and caring professor. She is passionate about physiology and wants what is best for her students. Her tests aren't the easiest, so you definitely have to put in the effort to pass her class (just study her PPT notes and pay attention in lectures). Regardless, you will learn a lot from her. Take her!

Comment:

Exams are always based off the her slides, no need for the textbook. Tells you EXACTLY what will be on the exams. Slides can be a little disorganized, but if you study the info it will make sense! Always willing to help and answer questions and is super kind and sweet. This class was on the easier side, but you do need to put in a little effort.

I LOVED having King for 106. She is so sweet and I loved listening to her lectures. She is so funny with her random side comments about the material. I had her for lecture and lab and it was such a great experience. Love her!!!!

Comment:

king is sweet & genuinely wants her students to succeed. that being said, those qualities don't always equate to a good professor. her ppt slides are disorganized and she explains concepts in 3-5 different ways and overcomplicates simple topics to the point where she makes it even more confusing. quizzes are on random days. tests are badly worded.

Favorite teacher at USF, period. You can tell she really loves what she is teaching and genuinely wants her students to understand the material. Teachers like her are hard to come by! Looking forward to taking other Bio classes she will be teaching.

Comment:

Prof. King is one of the best teachers I've had here at USF. She loves biology, loves teaching, and is super easy to talk to. The class isn't an easy A because tests can be a little challenging but King goes out of her way to make lectures interesting/engaging. Take her class!!

Comment:

The kindest prof I've had. She's understanding of students; takes her time going through the material and presents so that every student can understand. Frequently stops to ask if students have questions, and you don't have to fear speaking up when you don't know. She learned most our names. She's passionate about physio so lecture is enjoyable.

Dr. King is one of the sweetest professors I've ever had. Even if I had her for an 8AM, her enthusiasm in her lecture is what keeps me going. Her tests are fairly challenging but she gives you review questions and other study tools to prepare for them. 10/10 would take her again.

Lectures are clear, several lab summaries, no homework, exam can be hard sometimes, but she grades it fairly, do attend the class and ask question or go to her office hours if there is anything unclear, she is always there to answer your question

Comment:

Her class was so easy! I'm a lazy person when it comes to studying and I got a B+ in her course. Her recorded online lectures helped me out big time since I didn't always show up to class. Everything you need to know on the tests WILL be on the power points (and she'll inform you on topics you won't need to know).

Comment:

It's my first semester at USF and I've really enjoyed taking her physiology class. She's always there for her students when they need extra help understanding things, and she's very clear during her lectures. Her lectures are recorded and put online, but attendance is definitely recommended if you're someone who asks a lot of questions like me

She is extremely helpful! If you print our the powerpoints all you have to do is fill in the blanks during class and usually that's what you get tested on. The class can be hard if you don't keep up but Prof King gives you everything you need to get an A
