Reviews of professor Anna Denicol

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Very disappointed in this professor. Doesn't accurately grade and then submits grades at 2 am so no one can say anything beforehand. Because we did online learning, she decided in order to compensate for those trying to cheat from home, that she would make the exams so hard that passing was a surprise. This is not how education should be. At all.

While the content of this class isn't super difficult it moves FAST and there's a million "most important" things to remember at each lecture. The class is graded on 6 quizzes, 2 midterms, and a final. She dropped one of our midterms but said she may not in the future.

Professor Denicol was the best professor I have ever taken at UC Davis. She is a great lecturer, provides slides beforehand, and cares deeply about her students. Taking Endocrinology can be difficult but it's doable so long as you study consistently starting week one. Studying 2 hours 3 times a week with a team did it for me. Make friends!

Dr. Denicol is wonderful and I would be happy to take another class with her! She is a very kind person. She made endocrinology fun, and she showed a lot of interest in our success. Don't be afraid to take this class, but you will need to study hard to get an A. I found her exams to be difficult, but fair.

5 days a week was a drag, but denicol is very wholesome. test material is very wordy, & u can get docked off points easily bc she makes a lot of them mark the in/correct answer and each wrong answer evens out the score. so getting one answer right but the putting two answers basically gives u no credit. you must study and write ALL verbal notes

Professor Denicol gave me something to look forward too everyday during my fall quarter in the midst of COVID-19. She is by far, one of the best professors I have ever had at Davis! She is passionate and knowledgable about endocrinology and the sweetest professor you will ever take! The class itself is fascinating, so it makes studying fun!

Dr. Denicol is a real gem! She truly cares for her students. There is no podcast so you will have to come to class (or get notes from someone). The exams are pretty difficult in the sense that she gives questions with multiple right answers. Overall, difficult class but super rewarding!

Professor Denicol is one of the best professors I have had at UC Davis. She truly ignited a spark of love for endocrinology for me! She drew a lot of her own diagrams, has engaging lectures, and is clear regarding grading. She breaks up endocrinology so it is interesting but still understandable. Take her if you get the chance!
