On top of that, the exam was extremely difficult compared to the level of depth that we covered during lecture. I can't tell if it was her teaching that made me test poorly or simply that the concepts were challenging.

If you read the book, listen to lecture multiple times to the point you actually understand, do hw/problem sets/lecture activities/quizzes, you will be fine.

One of three professors for Bio 151. She writes on paper with pen on a camera projector. Sometimes it can be difficult to read her handwriting. I wouldn't worry about having her for Bio 151 but I wouldn't take her in the future for a bio class. Only memorization.
