Dr. P is a great professor. Pathophysiology is difficult and often feels trickier to memorize than pharmacology, but Dr. P doesn't make things harder than it has to be. Dr. P is a fair grader and will give points back on exam questions that don't test well. That being said, it is still important to study for her class.
