Reviews of professor Patricia Herman

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The TAs were awesome, but Professor Herman was not. The pre-lab quizzes relied on so many unimportant details from the handouts. The practice questions she gives do not compare to the level of the difficulty some of the questions on the exams are. Would not recommend taking unless required.

Class materials are printed on paper & handed out in class. This not a huge waste of paper, & if you miss class or lose your papers, you're screwed. I prefer having all materials available online. I know this is a 200-level course, but Dr. Herman treats you like a high schooler. For midterms, you must literally memorize every single lab handout.

Herman is a really good professor. She stays focused during lectures, so know that what she is telling you is important. You definitely need to study for the midterm and the final because they take up a big portion of the overall grade, but she gives a thorough study guide to help prepare. The labs themselves are interesting and fun.
