Reviews of professor Kriska Parda

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Very passionate and energetic instructor. Anatomy's a tough subject so she gets a bad rap. Her slides aren't the most intuitive so make sure to utilize other resources online for help. She's a huge weeb too so that's pretty fun :)

Concepts were very superficially and not thoroughly explained. MUST use outside resources. The lecture exams are written by Kriska and are really just regurgitation questions from the lecture notes. In-person lab is Kriska giving you models and leaving you to figure it out. Study the lab content before you enter lab! Memorization is IMPORTANT!

Anatomy is a tough class no matter who your professor is.  The textbook is not required but having it sure helped me.  Lectures are heavy but available on-line and definitely should be watched as many times as needed. Do the work...put in the time and effort and get the grade.  Kriska is great, would take any class she teaches.

Her PP slides are barebones and you have to study outside resources prior to take advantage of the lab to study the models. She is a witty, chill professor. She does respond quickly through canvas and is always helpful during lab. Took it for a 8-week summer class and you need to dedicate time to study for an A. Online quizzes that are fill in Qs.

Most hilarious, energetic prof I have ever had! Super nice and caring about her students. Very open to feedback from students. Lectures are straightforward but can be confusing due to number of abbreviations/short hand notations. Lecture exams are straightforward but lab practicals can be a bit harder (definitely do not cram the night before!)
