Her exams on the other hand, cover things we either didn't discuss in lecture or didn't go into detail about. Average for the first exam was a C. The exam was more about being able to pick the best guess and questions were worded confusingly. The other professors for MICROBIO101 are more fair.

Both professors are awful and do not give fair exams in the slightest. Exam averages were around a 60% and the material on the exam expects way too much from the students.
