Reviews of professor Audrey Lew

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Scientific Argumentation with Dr. Lew was great. She was a very engaging talker and did a lot of in-class dicussions where she actually talked with the class. Grade was based on discussion boards plus 5 question sheets which could be finished in class time and two paper projects. Very reasonable workload, clear criteria, and fair grading

I took this class to satisfy one of my GE and it wasn't heavy the lectures cover a lot in such a short time so don't stray away or zone out, there was one project but you could choose to work in a group or by yourself. We had quizzes usually when we were done with the topic we were working on and she would give us a week to study. Def recommend!

Dr. Lew was a great prof she was great with lecture and tries to make it as interactive as possible. Her quizzes were straight forward and easy to get. Make sure to know the material as not everything is as easy as a google search. Pay attention to her lectures

course content was not extremely difficult, quiz content usually matched with course content. grades really slow. we had 1 project with 3 options (pick one), none of the options were unreasonably difficult.

Your grade depends on your TA. If you have a horrible and tough TA, I'd recommend dropping and taking another lab. A HUGE chunk of your grade is from exams (140/315 pts). No drops and attendance is mandatory, one unexcused absence is 10% off your grade. Prof has no mercy when it comes to grading too.

I took the class for credit, and I did enjoy taking it. There was a recommended textbook, but I did not have it, and I still passed. The lectures were both synchronous and asynchronous so you were able to choose what best fit your schedule. There was no midterm or final, but we did have a total of 5 quizzes and 1 project.

Dr. Lew's teaching style for advanced bio is very open ended. Her exams were often very open ended which is a big difference from what I was used to from other courses. Despite this, she really does care about her statements and she is genuinely nice.

Required class for neurobiology majors. I don't think she's fit to teach this course. No matter how much you study you feel like you're getting no where. Exams were extremely difficult.Extremely tough grader, will mark off points for the smallest things. Didn't explain things well. I recommend you take N110 or a neuro class before taking N115A.

Grades for projects and final exam were released on the same day in mid December. My grade dropped from an A to B+ in an instant.
