Reviews of professor April Chambers

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
She pretty much read directly from the slides during lecture. Her slides were incredibly detailed and her exams were directly based on them. There was an intense amount of content which was why the class was difficult. Expect to do a lot of memorization.

This is as average as you will get for a professor. Can clearly tell she doesn't want to teach and is just word vomit on slides, but other than that, not bad. Her grading was fair, and while she didn't have any office hours, she would be happy to answer any questions before/after class. BIOE 1630 is not hard, just a lot of memorization in Part 1

No exams, but quizzes every day. I didn't learn anything from this setup because it was ok to just forget everything once the quiz for the previous lecture was over. You have to cram pretty hard for the quizzes but they are doable. The lectures were pretty mindless, she just reads the slides but you have to go for the quiz. Final grades curved.

Take someone else if you can. She just reads off her PowerPoint super fast and that's it. She made an insulting comment to me on the first day and this ruined my impression of her. The class focuses on muscles, so get ready to memorize. The class itself is fine, and she curved the class a little. Avoid Chambers if you can.

One of my favorite classes at Pitt. Really great in class discussions and projects.

Worst possible teacher you could take. She reads off the slides and barely explains anything. Her quizzes are easy but she gives you 2 mins to do 5 questions which I found horrible. Avoid if you can
