Reviews of professor Christina Guzzo

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I took this class when it was first offered in the fall semester of 2018. As someone who had a keen interest in virology and immunology, I was underwhelmed by the sheer lack of quality of her lectures. Her verbatim recital of the lecture slides made her class boring and unbearable. Moreover, she had a really poor attitude during office hours.

Dr. Guzzo truly cares about her students doing well. As long as you memorize & understand the lectures in detail, exams are fair & easy to do well on. The journal club assignments are also fairly marked. Her lectures were very interesting/easy to study from & she reviews BIOC20 concepts often. Very informative course, highly recommend.

The memorization required for exams is insane. You will need to memorize the most minuscule details you think aren't necessary because she will ask about them.

Loved her lectures! They were super thorough and detailed (and she recommended doing textbook readings before but not necessary). She clearly explains difficult concepts and exam q's are super fair :) Lots of memorization required to do well on midterm/exam so rely mainly on slides, otherwise dw you're in good hands!!
