Reviews of professor Summer Hayek

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
very difficult material, you need to study on your own from a video that she provide before you come to class, in class we did quizzes and never actually  teach the material during lecture, it was very time consuming and exams were very hard, she provide good feedback during office hours and the TAs did good job.

Professor Hayek was very knowledgeable on the subject, gave good feedback and fair homework but the tests were VERY difficult. There were several long, wordy questions with every answer so close to correct that it caused a lot of second guessing. This class is very difficult and requires a lot of attention outside of class so be prepared

Biochem is not easy. Dr. Hayek was more than fair in her grading & she is very understanding. After the tests she evaluates the questions to make sure they were all fair, plus there are many opportunities for points in this class: quizzes, clicker questions, homework, etc. For my class there were multiple office hours and review sessions too.

Dr. Hayek is insanely smart. She knows her material so well that I think she forgets students have never seen any of it before. The HW, clicker Qs, and exams are crazy hard. Tons of stuff to learn in a short amount of time. But Dr. Hayek is very nice and patient. She wasnt disorganized, and I think she posted material before class as a courtesy.

She makes exams with double negative questions and cram tons of materials into it. Really hard exams. Always late posting materials and very unapproachable.

She is an okay professor. She was disorganized at times and her lectures were average; no enthusiasm. Exams are tough - you have to give lengthy explanations and you are under a time crunch. Her expectations are that you write 2 long paragraphs explaining ONE question, next thing you know you have 30 minutes left with 15 questions remaining.
