Reviews of professor Celina Checura

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Checura is a great professor who is clearly very knowledgeable. However, she expects too much out of her students here. For this class there were 5 classes of learning material and 2 weeks worth of student presentations. The presentations were a waste of class time because they taught us nothing as well as graded horribly. Would not take again.

She was nice. Only complaint is I didnt like the way lab was structured. It was kinda chaotic & she doesnt give many notes on in yet still asks test questions about it. You don't know what you should study for that part of the class. Hard to hear her during it & you cant take notes if your hands are bloody. On same test schedule as other teachers.

Literally only went to class for the exams and got an A. But not an easy A class, you need to memorize the powerpoints and really study the material. First few tests were common sense but last 2 were tricky if you didnt know the material. Offers extra credit for going to a guest lecture which I recommend, because the 5 exams are the only grades.

8am but video recorded lectures, her accent was sometimes hard to hear through the video but just pay attention to the slides. 3 exams, optional final to replace a low score. Lab was interactive, had a quiz each time. Just study the powerpoints and you'll be fine, its just a lot of information. I used the book like once, you don't really need it.

Dr Checura teaches off of repetitive powerpoint slides word for word and we had 4 exams and one TA assignment and an extra credit assignment. She provides a ton of information but if you study her slides you should be able to get an A in the class.

Literally, memorize the powerpoints and you will make an A on the exams. The class is super easy, it was an 8am, I never went to class except on test days and made an A on every test. Her powerpoints are lengthy and have a lot of material on them so studying is a must, it is just not necessary to go to class. Our only grades are the tests
