Reviews of professor Joanna Zigouris

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Great knowledgeable prof who took time to go over concepts/equations a second time to ensure the class understood before moving on in lectures.  The labs were engaging and lots of fun.  A condensed 6-wk course that the prof has put effort in to make the course doable and enjoyable.

If you can, try not to take her classes. Worst professor ever who has a big ego. Gives the vibe that she feel better than other (maybe because she's a prof at soft) but very unprofessional, unorganized and rude.

Professor Zigouris had clear lecture slides, but many slides did not have much text on them so you have to attend lecture and take notes of the information being covered.  Dense concepts were broken down into multiple sides, which helped with learning the material.  Tests were fair and questions were based on what she lectured.

Professor does not seem to be knowledgable about the subject. Lectures follow the textbook closely, however any questions that are beyond the scope of textbook readings she is unable to answer. You will most likely end up teaching yourself. She refuses to answer questions in lecture, and is barely accessible outside of class. Often rude/defensive.

Although she clearly cares about the course content and presents interesting information, she has no time management skills. The class would be multiple lectures behind because she would fill the slides with so much unnecessary information, making it very hard to organize and study for what would actually be on the exams.

Joanna seems nice, however, I never want her as my professor ever again. She was my prof for both Genetics and Histology and these are the lowest grades I have ever received in 3 years of University. She reads off of the slides, which are straight out of the textbook, and she is frequently late for her office hours, one day i waited over an hour.
