Reviews of professor Stefanie Gazda

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Other reviews are a bit harsh. Online is a self-taught course. Lots of textbook reading and a few videos to supplement it, but they're a must watch! Exams are mostly application based and loosely resemble the Learning Objectives. Went to Gazda's office hours a few times and she was really helpful. Study Rooms are excellent and are 5% extra credit.

Shes just disrespectful. Her instructions are unclear, if you ask her to explain she is SO rude/unhelpful.Her grading is all over the place, and will mark assignments missing that are turned in. Lectures are two minutes long and don't help, relies entirely on software to teach. Wont allow late work if you're sick, but will take off when she's sick.

NEED to read the textbook to pass. Exams are tough essay questions. A bit of a harsh grader but lots of opportunities to make up the grade through assignments and extra credit. Short lectures, good explanations of concepts. 3 large projects with a bit vague instructions, but not too bad. Due dates are on different days of the week so check syllabus

WORST PROFESSOR EVER. DO NOT TAKE HER AT UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA. AVOID HER AT ALL COSTS. She does not care about her students whatsoever. She is inconsiderate and blatantly rude to everyone. She does not provide resources nor even work with students to provide them accommodations. Not to mention the material taught has nothing to do with bio.

had to take the online version of this class because in person was filled. it was ok. there are barely any lectures and virtually no instruction. it's a teach yourself course. lots of busy work to do. went to office hours once but it was not helpful at all. however, definitely doable A, just would not take this prof again

I do not suggest taking this class if you would actually like to learn something. Lectures (which were short, two minute videos) were not helpful. Pretty much left to learn the material by yourself. The exams werent the worst exams Ive seen. But when left with little to no guidance on how to study for them, it can be hard. Nice grading scale.

Between this class and the lab that accompanies it, the amount of work necessary to do a good job far exceeds the amount of time it should per credit hour. The exams are difficult & studying the Learning Objectives as recommended still does not ensure you will do well on them. The amount of busy work takes time away from learning all the material.

Be ready to do so much work in such little time. There was so much worked assigned that you have to complete everything at an extremely fast pace. There is extra credit and exams are not heavily weighed. The assignments are not hard just extremely time consuming so always have time available. Good professor but you have to move quick to get by.
