Reviews of professor Nora Saona

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Honestly one of the best professors I have ever had, lectures were clear and you can really tell that she cares about the students. Make sure you go to each class if you want to do well in the class. Overall would take this professor again if I could.

She was a decent prof. She gave out worksheets for extra credit which was nice.

I think she is not prepared to teach someone since she does not even know the material that she teaches properly. She probably needs more study to teach someone.

Honestly, biology can be very difficult. I've taken her class and found it to be the easiest biology class since high school. People complain that her slides arent good but honestly they are so well organized and really help you understand the concept. If you show up to class and put in a little bit of effort you'll be walking out with a B.

Nora is really nice but when it comes to teaching, she isn't the best. Her lectures were always just her reading off of her slides and not really going into depth on topics which means you could survive the course off of just reading the textbook. When she was asked questions in class, she could never answer them... Although, it was an easy course.

I loved my lectures with Nora. Shes caring and you can tell she genuinely wants to help you understand & loves the subject. She always answered questions and if she didnt know she researched and got back to us in the next class. There is a lot of content and you really have to work for your grade, midterm was what I expected, final was tough!

If you are planning or thinking of taking Nora's BIO class, please do! She is really nice, has really simplistic and easy to understand slides that can make difficult subjects seem much easier, she makes an effort to know all her students names and is quick with feedback. Encourages group discussions, and gives bonus marks on quizzes.

It seems like she really cares if we understand the content. Quiz and test heavy. Weekly quizzes. Lectures are helpful. Id recommend reading the chapter before class tho.

She gives weekly quizzes that are tricky so make sure to read each question thoroughly. These quizzes are based off her slides but also read the text book if a concept isn't clear. As for the midterm & final make sure to read both the test book and slides. And attendance is mandatory so make sure to attend because it counts as participation marks.

Dry lectures, was reluctant to excuse missed quiz due to medical condition. Otherwise, very caring and solid prof, definitely one of the better choices for first year bio courses.
