Reviews of professor Christina Howard

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Don't be scared by the bad reviews here. This course is hard- expect it no matter who teaches. Howard works diligently to provide students with as many chances for success as possible. She is an excellent professor, professional and approachable. She is wicked smart; will answer all your questions, but won't hold your hand. Work hard to succeed!

Only graded on tests and labs. The answers to the questions go beyond the coursework taught. Non-responsive to messages and cancels zoom meetings regularly. Degrading to students. Wants to see you fail.

Ma'am, I felt so bad that you had so many shortcomings and had to cancel or reschedule almost every zoom until I talked to people who took your class the quarter before and after me who said you did the same thing. I stopped going to zooms, read the book, and got one of the highest grades in the class so maybe just don't host zooms. Unnecessary.

 Only really graded test and doesn't give out any assignments. Basically fully grades on how you do on your test. Barely teaches, comes to class an hour late or has some excuse and shows no sympathy for it. Test you on things that were never showcased. overall would NEVER take this professor again, if you can, chose another professor.

Had excuses for not posting lecture material every other day, all quarter. No assignments, only test grades for both lab and lecture. No responses to students questions online, if you don't have her for lab you wont hear from her. Lecture videos were posted weeks late and were unhelpful. I taught myself anatomy, take this course with another prof.

Great professor and great lecturer. Plenty of extra credit but material is not easy. You will have to study and work hard to earn a good grade. Slides are accessible and plenty of office hours despite her having a very busy schedule. Incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the material, a solid choice and a great addition to the department.

Cancelled class four times during the term. Threw trick questions on examsor rather, she asked questions she wouldnt emphasize during lecture (ex. weird details/examples) on the two exams and the final, which would normally be ok, but thats all the class is graded on. :/ Otherwise she was approachable and a fun (not the best, though) lecturer.

Never responds to emails, takes a bit to grade assignments. Class itself has a lot of material but she throw it at you with little guidance. Labs are difficult. Theres videos to help, but videos are long. Hard to know what to focus on for tests. Its doable and you can pass but takes a lot of work- wish there were other professors available.
