Professor Auger is one of my favorite professors that the university. She was beyond knowledgeable about hormones and behavior and offered useful information about research proposals and confounds. I would definitely recommend taking classes with her.Rate My Professors ↗
Cathy is really invested in the material, and is up to date on the current research. You can tell she loves what she does! You have to put in the time, and it's a very interesting class as a neurobio major! She expects you to do the work, but is fair. Never had a problem with emails, nor understanding or having her clarify topics in lecture.Rate My Professors ↗
You have to read the textbook to do well on the tests. Interesting lectures but doesnt really explain all topics clearly. Grading can be picky.Rate My Professors ↗
Terrible at responding to emails. Goes through powerpoints too fast. Gives useless info in class. Brags about her son instead of teaching.Rate My Professors ↗
I thought this would be a good class, but it was awful. powerpoints aren't helpful, she's unable to answer questions, and exams are a poor representation of the material. the grading on the exams is also extremely frustrating. she seems like a nice woman, but she's a terrible professorRate My Professors ↗
By far the worst professor I've had. Not only is she completely unclear in her teaching, but outside of class she refused to provide help. She was consistently unable to answer questions in class and her powerpoints were unorganized and full of errors. This should have been a great class, but her incompetence ruined it. Impossible exams. Very mean.Rate My Professors ↗
