Reviews of professor Catherine Bachewich

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I signed up for BCMB489 special topics and she ran the course. The topic was "Fungal and Parasitic Pathogens" and she did an awesome job. The course content was fascinating and when you asked her for extra help, she was quick to respond and super helpful. If you are ready to learn, she is an awesome choice for your courses.

This course is very fascinating and the way Catherine taught it is perfect! I learned so much! She is very helpful too. She is the best professor I had at UVIC. Highly recommend taking this course or maybe any other BIO course with her.

Dr. Bachewich is an example of teaching done right. She covers all the material in depth that is needed for assignments and tests. You read lots of papers in this course and normally I only read on my own since lectures do not help me but she was clear and concise. Any questions she got back to me within a day every time. Great prof, great course.

Inspirational woman in science right here. Extremely knowledgeable. Passes on her knowledge in a very thorough way. Briefly reviews each past lecture at the beginning of next, which helps immensely for exams. Surface learning wont get you an A in this class but if you are willing to truly learn it, she gives you all the tools for an A+. My fave.

This class is one of my favourite BCMB classes I've ever taken. It required a lot of studying and the tests were fairly challenging. However, Bachewich did an excellent job at explaining concepts. Very accessible by email and in office hours as-well as after class.

Prof Bachewich is awesome. Her lectures are so thorough and she is really nice to listen to. Very supportive and encouraging of all comments in class. First midterm was very hard mostly due to wording of M/C (ie which is false out of 5 options) and time constraints. Highly recommend this class though. She ties in current events and research.
