About this rating

Raw average: 2.75/5 from 4 quality ratings. The adjusted rating blends this with the UW review average (3.66/5), weighted as 20 additional ratings. Smaller samples stay closer to that average. Each captured review is counted once in the prior; this does not correct who chooses to leave a review.

Very easy A but you won't learn much. Nice professor, but doesn't understand the material

BME 330
Quality 1/5Difficulty 4/5
One of the worst lecturers at the university. She's kind but doesn't seem to grasp the content well and is disorganized. Exam work must be done 'her way.' The class is required for BME majors, so you can't avoid her. The TAs seem aware of the situation and do their best to teach what they can in their sections. Most likely should not be employed.

Quality 5/5Difficulty 4/5
Professor Suarez explains the course concepts very well (including complex concepts such as fluid dynamics and mass transport) very well and solves problems during lecture in a clear, stepwise manner to further elucidate these topics. Prof. Suarez is also very accessible outside of class and gives good advice about how to prepare for exams.

Dr Suarez is a great person and teacher. She is ready to help and has a great positive attitude. She gives great feedback and supports your projects.
