Reviews of professor Valeria Pappas-Brown

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Whenever she talks it's as if she is talking to child. Not clear on what will and won't be on weekly quizzes. Swears that every question on the first test was covered in the study guide. This is not true. Got a 100 on the first quiz and just recently got higher than a 70% for the first time since. Will be so relieved when this course is over.

She was one of those professors that definitely wanted her students to pass. If you ask for help, she will try. However, she is very educated on what she teaches and seems to have a hard time 'dumbing it down' to a student's level. As a person I really liked her, as a teacher I'd skip it.

Does not know how to explain things thoroughly because she already knows the answer she expects you to understand it already .

She has problems, such as not simplifying a topic (Biotech, Cells.) She really reads off the powerpoint and sometimes she gives her own interpretation. Don't bother w/ spiral notebooks, record the lecture and type out your notes. The book isn't used; do not waste $, rent your book of amazon. Use book to go over info. Good Luck, You'll need it.
