Reviews of professor Theresa Dabruzzi

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Easily the hardest class I have taken here. Assures you that you will not fail the test after seeing her every week in office hours, but then you and the whole class fails. Class averages for every test are failing. There is so no scale and no way to pull your grade up. Will not answer students questions and often laughs at them.

Extremely tough grader and exams did not match lecture. Had to teach myself all of the material

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. This professor does NOT explain anything. She answers questions in the least helpful way possible and leaves you more confused than you originally were. She tells you "no, she cannot answer your question" and then offers you candy instead. Do not take this course unless you already have a good understanding of the subject.

Very difficult class. Expects the class to teach themselves. The material on the test is very specific and does not reflect the content presented in class. She is a tough grader. Be ready to teach yourself and spend more than 30 hours a week on this class.

Professor Dabruzzi's teaching style is rather ineffective. She posts the slides online and does not verbally add much to them in class, so attendance often was not a priority. Our averages in the class were lower than all other BI104 classes, which I do not believe is a coincidence. However, she is often available to talk outside of class.

A&P is a difficult class. However, it is doable. Professor Dabruzzi is a kind person, take the chance to go to her office hours. I did well in this class by going to every lecture, taking good notes and revising them with the reading material. Do not let this class intimidate you, anyone can learn this material but you have to put in the time.

She will not help you if you go to extra help. She told me to figure it out myself and was not helpful , about half of our class has to retake it because we did not meet the grade requirement for the nursing program.

Professor Dabruzzi is awful. She never answers questions and is never clear about what is going to be on lab practicals. She is rude and condescending. By far the worst teacher I've ever had.

She does not explain things well at all. She simply says something is complicated on the lecture slides and doesn't go into detail about why it's complicated. Her exams are so hard and go into way too much detail. I studied for every exam and those exams were so hard.

While her lectures can be interesting and she clearly really like physiology her class is one of the toughest I have taken. The labs are cool as you get to work with animals but run way over the 3 hours allotted and the tests are next to impossible to pass. Slides are not posted. Directions are often vague. Tests are not from the book or lectures.
