Past student reviews · Catherine Marler
Catherine Marler's lectures were described as dense and boring, with exams that tested very specific details like statistical data from single graph slides. One student found the exams unfair and recommended the course only for neurobiology majors, while another felt Marler’s lecture outlines were confusing and that she fell short compared to the other lecturer.
