Reviews of professor Rivka Borger

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I was a bit nervous beforehand and I wasnt sure how difficult this would be. I was so happy to find out that this course is very clear cut- if you show up to class, prepared, ready to learn, you will be fine. Study well, the tests are thorough but not unfair or overly challenging. Just take it seriously and you have nothing to worry about.

She is an amazing teacher. She is difficult though. There's tons of material to memorize in her class, and there's lab reports that are expected after every lab. She is very good with feedback, has clear grading criteria, and will sit with you outside of class to help with anything for as long as you need.

Professor Borger was never prepared when she came to class. If you ask her a question she is not always able to answer it. She creates the questions for her exams and they usually do not reflect what was discussed in class. In order to do well, you MUST read the textbook. It is such a shame as this is a core class for most healthcare degrees

Difficult to understand, unclear lectures

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
While does know what she's talking about, Professor Borger's tests are EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. She tests on every detail and will expect you to memorize it all. She teaches off slides and the test is basically you needing to rewrite entire charts from slides. I'm generally an A/A+ student and I could not score higher than an 88.

Professor Borger is excellent at explaining new concepts in very understandable terms. This helps solidify the information. Tests were fair- included only information in her power points (best slides ever!!). Her teaching style is conducive to remembering the load of information although you must work hard, as the professor makes it very manageable

Professor Borger truly cares about the success of her students. She will spend endless time helping students understand the material and giving advice. Her classes are hard and she teaches a lot, but, she is not out to get her students and is a fair tester. Would definitely take again!

Great teacher, but extremely difficult class

Prof. Borger is very knowledgeable and passionate about what she teaches and it shows. Everything on her exams is covered during lecture. Some exams have a lot of info but not a crazy amount. She cares about students and will advocate for you if needed. Show her you care and she will help you. Her lectures are professional and captivating.
