This class is entirely unorganized and unintuitive. She started out by telling us to buy several books, then never had us read any of them. The syllabus says there will be three quizzes, but there was only one. She moved the exam forward a week for literally no reason.There are zero assignments. The exams are confusing and memorization-based. Cool!Rate My Professors ↗
This is for Endocrinology/Zoo 603. Professor Nashold's lectures are sometimes dense/tough, but this is a 600 level bio course so it's to be expected. She's very kind and willing to explain concepts after class, and my only critique is that she sometimes just reads off slides for lectures (the slides are good though). Very interesting content!Rate My Professors ↗
She is so kind and was willing to write me a letter of rec which I really appreciate. I loved her class and the tests were not that hard but there was a lot of content.Rate My Professors ↗
(This is for endo) Each lecture is about 1-1.5 WEEKS worth of other biology-based courses here. Exam questions are sketchy, attendance is for points, and she basically just reads off slides. The lectures are denser than lead. It's impossible to memorize everything that's thrown at you. You never know what is actually important for the exam.Rate My Professors ↗
She only reads off of her power point. There is no homework to apply what you learn.Rate My Professors ↗
She's an OK teacher. To me, it didn't seem like she knew very much because she basically read off the slides and didn't add any information other than what was on the slides. Exams were tough! Overall, an OK professorRate My Professors ↗
