Reviews of professor Taryn Brooks Faulconer

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Do not take her for any class. She grades each person differently. She will take off 0.16 points from a pre lab (which I don't understand how that is possible), she grades one person differently than another and is very biased. All she does is lecture for an hour and good luck staying awake. Take someone else!

Professor Brooks-Faulconer's lectures are clear and her exams are not trying to trick you. The exams are straight-forward and the questions come from the lecture and slides. This was an interesting class with lots of information, but at the end you will be aware and knowledgeable. Take advantage of extra credit points when they are offered!

Dr. Faulconer is very passionate about viruses! I took this class online but she made the class very engaging and fun. I loved coming to her lecture as it was very interesting to learn about new viruses every week. You do not need to read any book. Just study well from her ppt and clear all the concepts and we will do well in her class!

Lectures can be bland at times. Very possible to get an A in her class if you just focus your studying on the review questions (Can't emphasize this enough). She isn't a tough grader and definitely looks out for the best interest of her students with extra credit assignments.

She's a great professor but sometimes her lectures can be a bit boring. The exams had really straight forward questions and weren't too hard as long as you study for it. She gives some extra credit as well. She also provides review questions to help you study for them. At the end of the semester, we have a final paper to write.

Be ready for a lot of writing. She was busy with her own school work during my semester, so she didn't grade a lot of assignments until the last second and when she did she didn't grade harshly. She drones on and on with side stories during lecture.
