Reviews of professor Paula Toto

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
English is her second language. Ask class how to say words in English. Confuses class often. Doesnt explain things enough for you to understand. Reads and repeats straight from power point. Forgets to add PowerPoint to canvas. Posts wrong labs. Class is confused majority of time and frustrated. This is Bio, we need to do well.

A bit of an accent, but very well spoken and no language barrier issues at all. Online and in class material is full of helpful info. Wants to help you succeed. Readily available. Semi-easy grader. It's a lab class so you have to show up. The class won't take up your whole week, it's a good balance. One of the best teachers!

Paula is an amazing, always accessible teacher. She cares about her students. Advanced Cell Culture is the best class I have taken so far. Get ready to design protocols yourself and culture really delicate cells. The final and the lab notebooks are graded easier than you think, but you must put in a lot of work to get an A. Take her class!

She is very caring and helpful. She offers some extra credit and offers help if needed. She is super nice and kind to everyone. She does struggle with some English, she is from Brazil. But she is always asking if we understand or need additional help.
