Reviews of professor Gonul Schara

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Schara seems to be a nice person but she is a very difficult professor. Her exams & quizzes are extremely challenging and have little correlation to what she lectures on. She expects you to solve & use calculations that you have never seen before and is bad with partial credit. She also told us that she would curve our grades but NEVER DID!

Dr. Schara is an excellent professor. She makes us feel welcome + very comfortable when seeking help. Her office door is always open and she puts so much effort into making sure you understand the material. Overall, this course was structured well and I wouldnt change anything about it!

This class is a lot easier than ochem. She curves the final grade so that at least one person gets an A. Quite a lenient grader. Textbook was hardly used; all of the stuff on tests are from HW and lectures. Supplemental videos are also provided. She goes pretty in-depth on calculations and concepts. Keep up with the lectures and you should be fine.

Dr. Schara is doing great in class and online. She use all the tools to make it easier for everyone, and make extra time like office hours to answer questions. She use the class time very efficently.

Her lectures do not follow the way she sets up exams, lectures very broad and sets up exams very tough. Biochem is already a hard subject and its even harder to try teaching it to yourself when you dont know what to expect from this professor. more examples in class and correlating exams to lecture would made class better
