Reviews of professor Catherine Bachewich

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Really love seeing such a boss women in science teaching in a faculty of mostly men profs. The course is hard but super interesting and she does a good job making tests that you can do well on if you pay attention to her lectures.

Dr. Bachewich was an awesome prof! She clearly put time and effort into her lectures and always had updated information in them. She would often reference articles published just as recent as "2 days ago"! She was very kind and always made herself available by email or office hours.

Catherine was great! Very kind and organized. All live lectures were recorded and posted promptly using a dual slide-presenter format and all quizzes/midterms/final were open book on Brightspace. Take detailed notes on her lectures/slides and you will get an A.

Highly recommend this class with her for anyone needing a science elective. She assigns the perfect level of graded material and is a very fast marker. She is also extremely fast when replying to emails and replies in a descriptive and thoughtful manner.

LOVED this class and professor! Extremely organized and makes the lectures so interesting by tying in current health information. She is very supportive and wants students to succeed! Re: "this guy" comment, If she points to a protein on a slide and says this guy gets activated by this enzyme, I don't see how that is a negative thing?

Catherine was a horrible prof for me. She was never specific when describing (says "this guy" and "him" a lot. Her midterms are difficult, even though coming from a science background knowing the info, the wording was poor. I knew the answers to the MC when reading the question then didn't know which option to choose. Wouldn't take her class ever.

Bachewich is one of the best profs i've had in the BCMB department! She outlines complex pathways and concepts very clearly. Her tests are challenging, but she's teaching a challenging course so that is expected. Everything she discusses in class is testable, but she provides you with everything you need to know to do well!

Such an underrated prof, in my opinion! Really gets down to the basics and is great at demonstrating how concepts and techniques can be applied in the real world. So helpful in and outside of office hours, passionate, and engaging. Go to her lectures, it will really help boost your grade! Dr Bachewich has really aroused my interest in biochemistry.

I took this class as an elective but Dr Bachewich has really inspired me!! She makes biology fascinating by tying in real life examples. Will definitely be taking more biology classes.
