Reviews of professor Lisa Byrum

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I have not had a better professor than Dr. B in the four years that I have been at ODU. She always keeps it interesting during lecture with her funny stories and always gives extra credit on all her weekly quizzes. She also makes it a point to ask her students if they are actually understanding the material, and goes at a slower pace if not.

Go to class! You will benefit from going and hearing the stories that she tells to help students remember the material. If you have questions about lab and want a review before the exams, ask for them! They do help and she explains her thinking when she sees a certain thing through the microscope. 100% recommend.

Funny person & loves what she teaches. However, I did not like the flow of the class. Every week we have 2 quizzes (lecture&lab) only available on Sunday which is not convenient. They are content heavy & you must study long powerpoints. I did not find her zooms helpful either, but I am taking her for A&PII because I know what to expect.

Dr. B is an amazing educator who genuinely cares about the success of her students. A&P is a tough course, but she does everything she can to help us understand. There are weekly quizzes and a final, but both have extra credit. I have never had a professor like Dr. B and I wish more professors were as sincere and enthusiastic as Dr. Byrum.

Best Professor at ODU. Very funny and energetic. Also very knowledgable, she can take a complex biology question from the audience and formulate an answer!! I always look forward to attending her lectures. The exams are difficult but it really prepares you for medical/nursing school. Very caring and kind.
