Reviews of professor Michelle Priest

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Just go sign up with someone else. I am not surprised only 13% of her students would retake her. She makes students feel dumb and expect them to pull info out of their ___. Get ready to teach yourself and do useless discussions that do not benefit you. By far the worst professor in my life. Barely week 5 and I'm already writing her up.

I ignored these reviews and still took this professor. DON'T make the same mistake, take your time and money elsewhere. She's demeaning, rude, shows lack of interest in her teaching/ students, and makes this course harder than it should be. I usually get A's but I'm struggling bad. Probably the most substandard prof at CSUF, very unprofessional.

Lectures were recorded from last sem. They were overall okay. But I noticed that when students asked questions, Dr. Priest had a sarcastic tone that was discouraging. Very knowledgeable and provides anecdotes that make it more interesting but can sometimes go off tangent too long. Material wise, it's heavy so be ready to do a lot of self-studying.

If you need this class, better to take it at a community college instead. She tricks you by putting some exam questions on info she NEVER brought up in lecture. Extra credit and discussion posts are easy points to save your grade.

Her exams are nothing like what she emphasizes in her zoom videos; expect something else. Her tests are more of the lab part than the lecture itself, as it is a lot of histology/labeling parts. Very vague with her study guide as well. Also, a little impolite when questions are asked, preventing students to ask her sometimes.

Jumped into topics she expected us to remember from 191A without even covering them before the exam. Went to office hours to get information clarified and she was quite rude. Posts assignments last minute, and does not extend due dates when assignments are posted late. Moves up due dates without warnings, completely ignoring syllabus. Dont do it.

I took her bio210 class for my major. It was all synchronous but we had to do discussions that were so difficult and people were not getting 10/10 in those bc we have to ask critical questions. She also makes sure your not cheating back having no backtrack on exams and makes the time super short but she gives extra credit sometimes so that good ig.

Please DO NOT take this woman. She literally assigns pointless discussion boards that she grades on really hard. Her tests are really hard and they don't include any material from the lecture. She is also EXTREMELY rude and makes you feel dumb when you ask questions. She will literally make it impossible for you to get an A in her class.
