Reviews of professor Ylenia Chiari

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr.Chiari is not approachable outside of class and relies on her LAs too much to explain the information to students. Dr. Chiari may seem nice during in-class lectures. However, outside of class she has an attitude and will not work with you. She had guests, and those lectures show up on exams. The topics are far more difficult than what is taught.

Every time she teaches, she tends to casually skip a couple of slides and doesn't give us a chance to ask questions in class. She also goes extremely fast on the notes. We're not robots. Biology is a dense subject and it takes time to ingest all the information. Most of us are pre-med and we're already overburdened with work and studying

no backtracking on exams or quizzes. If you don't know a question at the moment, you cannot skip and go back to it later that's my test taking strategy and the fact that I cannot do that it results in a lower grade in this class. questions on test aren't representative of the hw or notes. insane that I prep for exams just for it to be different

prof chiari cares about her students understanding the content rather than rushing through the entire slideset. there are a lot of ways to get help and LA's are SUPER helpful. the content is hard to conceptualize sometimes and you should study. I think the bad reviewers on here just didn't put in the effort to ask questions / have good study habits

Class feels like it is setup to have even successful students fail. No matter how much you study for exams made by Dr. Chiari, be prepared for the most arbitrary questions in the worst format ever. you're graded by few things and there's little to no student support except by the LAs which were fantastic this semester.

Just had a mental breakdown while studying for this class so I decided to share my thoughts here. This is one of the hardest classes I had taken so far. And this is harder than physics 2 lol. Not used to the speed, questions are worded in a way that's confusing which unmotivated me, and I'm gonna fail this class I might drop out of college idk

This class literally goes faster than the wind in New Hampshire. I can't stress this enough. It's so difficult to catch up when we have other classes to worry about.
