Reviews of professor Gail Moraru

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Gail is super sweet do not get me wrong! In my opinion her lectures were awful. Her quizzes and exams were so unreasonable and didn't use the same language or diagrams that she lectured with. Not good at explaining things. It's the last week of the term and she 3/10 labs graded. Never responds to emails. A lot of my classmates struggled to succeed.

While this professor is a nice person, it was a very frustrating class and I did not personally find her teaching style helpful at all. Important points were not emphasized, study guides were useless, we were not given sufficient time to answer questions on quizzes and tests, and we had to get almost perfect scores to get an A on anything. Run.

Gail is a wonderful professor, cares about her students, and obviously loves biology. She made the subject matter understandable, interesting, and entertaining. I've heard horror stories about other microbiology classes, but Gail's class was so fun and educational. I never expected learning about bacteria would be the highlight of my week.

I loved this class. It is really what you make of it. She knows the subject so well and is fun to listen to. I did think it was a little hard if you aren't into biology very much. I thought the exams were difficult and the final was very hard. If you don't pay attention in lecture you will struggle. She is a good teacher and wants you to succeed.

Lectures were pre-recorded, but labs were in-person. Recordings weren't great, too little detail compared to level of understanding expected on tests. She was very caring and kind, and very fair--she will adjust her questions on tests if she decides afterwords that the wording was confusing, which I really respected. Would have been better in-perso

I love Gail. She is very easy to listen to, and her lectures are always interesting. When I start studying for a test, I am always amazed at how much we have learned, because she makes it super easy to understand, so it feels like we aren't learning as much as we are. For her tests just go through your notes and her slides-ignore her study guides

She was so sweet and made such a good effort in trying to engage us and keep remote class interesting.  She attempted to better the class by asking for an outside staff member to come in and gather our feedback.  The tests very hard, very short on time.
