Reviews of professor Judith Mandl

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Mandl made this class so much harder than it needed to be. Be prepared to put hours of studying in and not see it reflected in your grades, especially with the exam format. You do a group project worth 30% of your grade and you can't choose your partners. Her corrective criticism is super vague. Won't be taking another one of her classes.

Gave clear lectures and had good slides. Was not approachable for questions/help and assignment grading was harsh. Not open to discussing the marking on the assignments at all (even for clarification). The exam was not too bad, but sometimes an entire question could be focused on details instead of broader concepts.

Is she a good prof? Yes. Does she teach well? Yes. Fair exams? Yes. Would I want to be her best buddy? No. Yeah she might not be the nicest/most approachable person, but she's a great lecturer and has very well formatted slides and fair exam questions. Personality should not be relevant here

My least favorite professor in this class and of all the physiology classes I've taken so far as an U2. Although she explains concepts clearly, has clean slides and has fair questions on the midterm, she also has a detestable personality which I find isn't fit for a professor. Also, she gives random pop quizzes, so make sure to attend all classes.

Prof Mandl's lectures are very interesting and she is a good lecturer. That being said, the class was awfully structured. Wish there was more emphasis on what to focus on for the test and the group project is a mess as you do not choose your teammates.

Rude and unapproachable professor and makes it hard to be motivated in this class. I personally believe she does not want students to do well but instead wants to make it as difficult and dreadful as possible for us. No matter how hard you work on the projects your grade will likely not reflect that.  Avoid her and this class.

Horrible class. Do not take Phgy 313 if you can help it. I thought Dr. Mandl was a good lecturer, her content was clear and I found the final exam fair, but for the 2 projects worth 30%, don't expect more than a low 80. Good luck if you have to take her. Also 1/2 the final was based on her content so study that

She asks for lots of pre-lab protocols which other professors don't. We have to rewrite all the procedures, and in the blood lab, there are six protocols! It is really just a waste of time. Stay away from her if possible.
