Reviews of professor Maria Vasquez

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Vasquez is a good teacher gave enthusiastic lectures that were very easy to follow. I enjoyed her class because she made it very interesting and she really cares about what she is teaching and her students and will help you if you are struggling. The exams are pretty hard and there are a lot of trick questions but overall I recommend taking her

What a great professor! Vasquez was so caring, funny, and kind. She did a great job lecturing and I enjoyed learning about bio. Every class we would start by going over previous notes and refreshing our memories. Not too bad on assignments, the only difficult parts were the tests. If you didn't study a ton, they probably weren't going to go too hot

If you pay attention during class, read through the material, and study before tests (off of the lectures) you will do well. She only uses the lecture to make the tests which are really nice, and she tells you what to study for if you go into office hours and ask.

Dr. Vasquez would be a great elementary school science teacher.

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Energetic professor. Great lectures that are straight to the point. Many students who give Dr. Vasquez a bad rating seem to be students who arent majoring in the life sciences. Dont take this class if you dont have a passion for biology because the bad reviews are likely coming from students who dont care much for biology and want an easy class.

I think all the positive reviews for Dr. Vasquez are from students in her research group who she favors. She is definitely not qualified to teach at the college level. A lot of factual errors in her lectures. Painful listening to her teach topics she doesn't fully understand.

Dr. Vasquez is a nice professor and tries to make the class interesting. She gives a quiz almost every week on brightspace and 3 midterms that are pretty difficult. Take a lot of notes-she writes the important info on the chalkboard. Book office hours in advance-she gets very busy! Bio wasn't for me, but if I were to take it again, I would take her

Dr. Vasquez was my first professor at LMU and I loved her so much. She gave an amazing introduction to biologiy and was very kind. We had a few homework assignments, classes were very lecture heavy. No group projects. She was available for office hours and towards the end of the year allowed to make up a few quesitons on exams. Loved her

Great professor, teaches well (enthusiastic, draws good diagrams, covers everything thoroughly). Tests are memorization heavy, but are also very easy to study for as around 95% of the test questions are straight from the lecture slides (which are all posted online). If you can memorize a lot of info and meet deadlines, you'll get an A.
