Reviews of professor Stephanie Palomino

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I would definitely recommend taking Dr. Palomino for Bio I &II! She will go all out to help you succeed in the class, definitely go to office hours if you're having trouble with concepts. Biology isn't an easy subject, but she finds so many analogies to help make it stick. Your grade is composed of exams and chapter quizzes, so make sure you study!

Do not take this class She seems to be a nice person and passionate about biology. However, this has been my worst experience with a PowerPoint professor so far Only uses PowerPoints given by the company, she does not know the material on them. Her review sheets do not cover the material you need to know. No idea where these great reviews came from

Dr. Palomino is clearly a very passionate professor and her energy while lecturing is super contagious. She always provides analogies and real world examples to help you understand the concepts and mechanisms. Her tests however are very focused on details rather than overarching concepts but at least she gives extra credit.

This was my first 6-week summer course and the amount of material was pretty overwhelming. As long as you have great time management to read the chapters and do the assignments/quizzes, should be relatively easy to get an A in the course. Was able to contact Dr. P multiple times to clarify on certain topics and she responded very quickly.

Took her BSC2010 and BSC2010L online classes because of Covid-19. She gave us a powerpoint presentation for every chapter AND a narrated powerpoint lecture, just in case you we wanted to do it on our own or have it be read to us. Quizzes are on Pearson, not through Canvas, so that is why the textbook is mandatory. Has a very bright personality!
