Reviews of professor Patricia Flower

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Flower is incredibly knowledgeable and clearly enjoys her subject! Her slides are used as a talking point for her so make sure you take notes! Often times exam questions are from lecture. As with any Bio course, this is difficult. Study. Go to SI. Dr. Flower really appreciates office hours, so make yourself known! DONTmiss prelectureassignments

Dr. Flower's class was very tough. She would lecture for an hour and fifteen minutes and then tell us none of it was on the test. Quizzes, homework, lecture, and tests, did not line up. She is very approachable but does very little to help solve problems. I would not recommend this professor or this class.

Dr. Flower is a really nice lady just not the best professor. Her exams are very random and have a lot of scenario questions. You could no the material and you will still get an A- at best on an exam. There are a lot of readings and assignments from the books. She does give ample time to do the assignments but it is still a lot of work.

Dr. Flower is a very sweet lady. Her lectures were very unorganized and off topic. She will go on long tangents followed by "but you won't need to know that." The tests were very different from the lectures. I learned the most from the SI sessions. She does offer a large amount of extra credit at the end of the class though.

Her lectures are useless and she says a lot of things that "wont be on the test". She talks about topics and information that is clearly stated/obvious in her slides, and goes really fast on information that is essential to understanding the topic. I would not take her again.

Despite decades of teaching experience, Dr. Flower fails to display mastery of teaching a lecture or preparing her students for exams. Lectures comprise of endless powerpoints with little explanation on main ideas and long tangents on subjects that wont be on the test when each exam is 70 questions, none of which are straightforward.

During lecture she simply reads off of her presentation, and often adds information that is not essential for her tests. Professor Flower does not explain what we actually need to know for her tests and a majority of her questions are not straightforward. Overall she seems like a sweet person, but is not the easiest teacher to learn from.

Shes a professor who likes to talk around the subject and go on tangents by saying things like, That wont be on the test or You dont need to know that.

Says things like ThiS wOnT bE oN tHe tEst after talking for an hour straight. Tests are hard and most students do terrible on them. Will not take again, worst class I have taken at NAU.
