Reviews of professor Adriana Avila-Flores

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Dr. Flores is hard. Cell biology is hard. STUDY for the exams and go to her office hours. She is much better at explaining concepts one on one, especially if it doesn't click the first time but sometimes argues even when she is wrong. First exam ruined my score in the class, so don't underestimate it (or any of the exams!) Does not respond to email

I really enjoyed Dr. Flores class. Her lectures were clear and easy to understand. She made them relatively interesting and told you exactly what you needed to know. Tests werent bad if you studied her lectures. She co-taught this class with Dr. Petrov and she was so much better than he was. Wish she had taught the class by herself.

Dr. Flores is a great prof. She makes her expectations known early on. I just hate that she doesn't drop a grade and you're only graded on the 5 exams (20% each). She posts the slides and I recommend just adding what she says to the slides instead of writing down everything. She lets you know what will be on the exams you just have to study it.

This class was fine, but not worth the stress for a 4000 level class. The only grades are tests, so if you are not a good test taker you a basically SOL. Dr. Avila is a good professor but the way the class is formatted is extremely difficult.
