Reviews of professor Anna Denicol

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Denicol is such a great person but this class was heckin hard. Each exam was 21 questions and they were multiple choice but you had to pick ALL the correct answers which was super tricky. If you study the pathways in-depth and how they all relate to each other you should do fine. Make sure to take detailed notes b/c there is no podcast.

I loved this class so much! Endocrinology was great. Her tests were difficult, she does lots of true false statement type questions. If you study really hard you can do well. She loves answering questions and talking to students. Wish i could have gone to more of her office hours!

Her lectures are very fast-paced so be prepared to spend some time outside of class to re-watch her lectures. That being said, her tests are pretty reasonable and she is very nice! She gives out very generous extra credits. I spent quite a bit of time on this class but I would say it was very fun.

NPB 130 is a difficult class but professor Denicol makes it survivable. Her tests are never tricky and I always did better than I felt. However, most of the grade is the quizzes so DO NOT FORGET THE QUIZ. Go to office hours if you need help because she is super helpful. My only complaint is she got COVID for the final and still made us take it.

Dr. Denicol is super kind and funny, she always took the time to answer questions and go over things again, and her exams were pretty fair. That being said, endo is not easy - lectures 4x a week, tons of hormones and pathways to memorize. You really have to put the work in to do well. Weekly quizzes, 3 midterms (lowest dropped), and a final.

Professor Denicol was an amazing professor. Like others have stated, her class wasn't easy. But she broke down each section to more palatable bites. You had to work for your grade, but Professor Denicol lended help if you asked her. It was by far one of the most fun and rewarding classes I had at Davis. I'd take her classes again!
