Reviews of professor Cathy Duran

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Although this instructor is nice, she doesn't have meaningful material ready for the students that we haven't already read in the book. Powerpoint slides would be nice to keep the trains of thought in the right direction (instead of reading scribbles off a notepad) we the students put in the work, I can't confidently say she matches the lvl of work

This class was the hardest class I have ever taken. Two 50 minute GROUP presentation and two tests define your grade. Dr. Duran is a gem, but this class is ridiculously difficult. Assigned groups too...

Most stressful class I have ever taken, and I am pre-med. You will learn A LOT, but it will be absolutely hell learning it all. You will pretty much have to read every page of the textbook on your own. 2 or 3 essay exams. Two 50 minute presentations. You will spend a stupid amount of time working on this class, relative to your other classes.

Dr. Duran's class is not hard if you do the work, but there are LOTS of guest speakers and she lectures very fast so you can't keep up to take notes. This makes it difficult to focus when you can't comprehend quickly. Attendance is extra credit at the end of the semester.
