Reviews of professor Theone Paterson

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
She was a really dry prof. Her lectures were super monotone and the only reason I stayed awake was because the material was interesting. She had a ridiculous amount of slides for a 3 hour class and almost never got through them. Whenever someone asked her a question she just reread her slides or notes like she didn't even know what she was teaching

Very test heavy. 90% of your final grade is based on the two midterms and final. All tests were a mix of multiple choice and short answer. I think she mentioned that she wasn't formally trained to be professor, but she definitely tried. Her lectures are pretty dry and she does not post lecture notes (only slides). Might improve with experience.

Professor Paterson is slightly dry and awkward during lectures, but not too bad at all. She seems interested in the material, and has some funny moments during lectures. Generally, she's a likeable professor who cares about her students (she answers lots of questions and will always take time to talk to you). If you work hard, you'll do really well

Speaks very quickly in class, gives lots of extra information than what is on the slides, and expects you to know it all. Lectures are not presented in an interesting or exciting way, but she does care about her students. She is open to answering lots of questions in class. Lots of reading, expected to memorize to a high level of detail.

From a life sci perspective, the amount of material we had to know for tests was fair and what I expected. Maybe people with other backgrounds aren't used to learning in that way? I can't judge personally so I can't say. Put in the effort and you will get good results. Material really isnt that difficult
