Reviews of professor Zandra Pinnix

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
If you have Dr. Pinnix, I would drop that class immediately. You do not want this teacher, she doesn't know what she's talking about in lecture and basically is just reading off the slides. She also doesn't prepare you what so ever for the tests and quizzes. She's a little better in lab. I came in as a bio major and now switching my major.

Dr. Pinnix was always very kind but, not clear enough with grading expectations. It felt as if we had to just guess on expectations regarding our projects, and if we did not meet them, she was not lenient at all with her grading. Overall, I found many of the assignments and projects to be time-filling busywork, and I did not get much out of them.

Dr. Pinnix truly cares about her students as she made her class fun and engaging. This is a great intro biology course to take. You mostly do group projects, but she isn't a hard grader.

Overall a fine professor. Does rely on the slides prepared by the textbook writers, and sometimes was a little less knowledgable than you'd hope for a class you're basically paying $4400 to take. Frequent quizzes, some tests. Some questions will be seemingly impossible others laughably easy. Wouldn't go clawing to get her, but wouldn't drop her.

Dr. Pinnix is a GREAT professor!  She is very knowledgeable about the subject matter and her lectures are very engaging.  Exams are tough but fair.  I would take her again if I could!

Dr. Pinnix is such a genuinely kind and caring person. If you have absolutely no understanding of anything remotely scientific, as was the case with me, I cannot stress to you enough how much I recommend taking intro-level biology courses with her. Dr. Pinnix somehow managed to make me genuinely interested in the sciences.

Dr. Pinnix is a great person and I really enjoyed her class. Although science is not my favorite she made the class fairly painless and enjoyable. We had a quiz every week and a few tests. I would say make sure you check over your graded tests because sometimes she made grading mistakes but she was always easy to contact and fixed issues quickly.
