Reviews of professor Patricia Flower

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
The powerpoints are out of order, have a lot of mistakes, and do not help you with homework or tests. There were exams every 2-3 weeks covering at least 4 chapters by the textbook, not by her. She just made the concepts a lot more confusing and difficult.

Constantly says this wont be on the test throughout her lectures. She is clearly very knowledgeable but does not know how to separate what she knows and what the class needs to know to pass the class. Tests are hard but the SI sessions help a lot.

If you want to have the worst experience in BIO181 take her. She goes off on random tangents since she is used to teaching 40 students, not 200. Her power-points are out of order. She talks the entire time. It's very annoying when she says something and then goes "that won't be on the test." My question is why tell us then?

"ThIs WoN'T bE oN tHe TeSt" or "I wOn'T aSk YoU tHaT." When giving lectures, about 10% of what she says will actually be meaningful. The other 90% is her going off on tangents. She reads straight off of the slides and does not go into depth. Homework almost every night, with about 50 questions each. Tests go over some info that we didn't cover.

sweetest lady ever but not the best professor. she would talk for hours and then none of that would be on the test. lost of homework but plenty of time to do it. she drops ALOT of assignments at the end so don't worry too much. focus on doing well on homeworks, because the tests are near impossible.

hands down the WORST teacher I have ever had. I literally changed my major because she ruined biology for me. She is a nice lady, but will talk about nonsense and then nothing she ever says is on the test. For example, she once spent an hour talking about strawberries, and the test was on active and pass transports.
