Reviews of professor Summer Hayek

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Hayek is great. She had way too much to do in too little time thanks to there being almost no professors in the biochemistry department and being a last minute hire. She was creating the lectures throughout the semester which made it harder. Her tests while sometimes a little convoluted were very fair. Her TA Alexandria was awesome.

Hayek is all over the place and makes excuses for her late work. Test reviews are posted VERY late, which doesn't help at all, and her tests are extremely hard. You get 2 mins/prob, and they aren't easy q's. Get ready to teach yourself because this so-called "instructor" doesn't know how to teach. Avoid her or you'll hate biochem if you have Hayek.

Dr Hayek was very clearly under a huge amount of pressure from her dept which took a toll on her best abilities. But in light of the inconveniences was an excellent lecturer, who provided frequent and flexible office hours, wrote clear exams and offered homework and clicker points to support our exam grades. Tough class but helps you along the way.

I don't like how she does hard problems in class but fails to explain step 1. She wants you to study and learn the basics outside of class.There is a ton of outside quizzes, videos and prep. As well as in class quizzes that are graded. Lots of memorization and you will be clueless for most of the class. I had to use other YouTube videos for help.
