Reviews of professor Amanda Brown

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She covers a ton of information but the reviews she gives out tell you exactly what you need to study. Not exactly the most engaging professor, but she is very kind and accommodating. The lab is way too much work for the little credit it provides.

Avoid taking her class. Lectures are unclear and hard to follow. She is inconsistent and disorganized. Paper, project and exams meant to be simple were made unnecessarily difficult. Group project and paper were worth a lot less than the amount of work that she has you put into them. Mini exams are not mini, 4 questions have over 5 parts each.

Dr. Brown is very heavy with her lectures. Her class was enjoyable for the most part but her lectures are the hardest to get through with it being her reading straight from the powerpoint. A nice lady and easily accessible outside of class; test's and homework's are not too bad, just go to class. A regular class like every other offered at Tech.

Dr. Brown's lectures have a lot of information, but when you do not understand, she tells you to refer back to the power points. Her exam reviews are very detailed but without an answer key, so you are studying blind. Asking for help is not an option because she feels you have to use your resources, but know that she is not one of them.

Dr. Brown is very receptive to student feedback. She offered my class many extra credit opportunities when the grades weren't doing well. If you go to class you have a good chance of at least getting a B.

Her lectures were long. detailed, and boring, but if you stay on top of the material you will do fine. The lab component was annoying and too much work considering how little some assignments were worth. Overall this class was just OK, she's not a horrible professor but not the best either. She offers extra credit and did have great communication.

I would stay away from this class as much as possible. She is a very sweet lady and seems to know her stuff but she is so unorganized. Major assignments like the group presentation and research paper were time consuming but worth very little. Exams weren't very representative of the material we were learning.

Lots of papers to read, didn't learn much, she is a nice lady but her thoughts are very disorganized. The course has a bioinformatics component but she does not teach any bioinformatics and leaves the students on their own to figure out what to do.

Dr. Brown is a powerpoint reader. Her lectures normally involve her reading off the powerpoints, which are copied directly from the textbook. However, she is happy to clarify anything students are confused about. She does not have a lot of sympathy for technology glitches, so be aware of that if you will be taking an online class with her
