Reviews of professor Wanda Medina-Ortiz

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I took her over the summer and one thing I can say is she doesnt teach. She posts notes and homework and leaves it up to you. She also was very bad at communication and she also counted me absent on days I was present because I turned in assignments. There was also another incident which is now resolved but I dont recommend her for the summer.

This is BIOL 1406 Lab-only: 5 quizzes, midterm (heavy, cover everything in class), and final (easy). She is nice and enthusiastic, but sometimes she is sensitive and acts a little weird. She has a Spanish accent. I highly recommend her!!!

Took Prof. Medina for A&P 2 lab, she also became our lecture professor. Very understanding works with students. Lecture was easy as long as you study. Quizzes not proctored. Exams are in class not proctored. Labs are easy, but exams NEED TO STUDY! Lab exams are fill in the blank, PPT w/50 or more questions. Overall easy class if you put in the work

This teacher does NOT teach! Gets distracted very easily. Makes you teach yourself the material before class and then she'll quiz you over it. After the quiz THEN she'll "teach" the material. She rushes through all of her PowerPoints because she just wants to go home. Doesn't help with the labs & makes you teach everything yourself. DO NOT TAKE HER

Professor Ortiz wasnt the best science teacher Ive had. Shes a nice lady, funny. But she didnt really teach. Most of the learning you do will be in lecture (w/ a diff. teacher). Shes not hard nor easy... There were two practicals for which no review was provided, so be sure to study lecture notes and lab notes. Make friends for study groups!

Very sweet lady, posts lecture and lab powerpoints early and let us use any and all notes on our 5 lecture exams. She puts a ton of info in the presentations but that was helpful since we got to use notes. Attendance wasn't required, she said she doesn't drop anyone for attendance issues.

I took her Biol 1406 lab class last semester. She is a humorous, nice, and caring person. She will understand if you have personal problems. I'm an ESL student, but I still get an A. Take her!

Funny teacher but she does not teach very much. Took her for Anatomy and passing this class depends of teaching all of it to yourself. The test were not too hard

She is a great professor, very caring and is willing to help when struggling. The lectures go quite fast, just read the text book and find the key points and definitions. If you have not taken biology before it is VERY hard. There is a test every 2-3 weeks over 1-3 chapters, quizzes and chapter question before each exam. NEEDED is TopHat for lab.
