Reviews of professor Sarah Garcia

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This class requires a lot of time due to its flipped classroom model. However, the recorded lectures are amazing & everything we do in this class builds up on each other for the exams. The material & grading is hard but guidance & extra credit are easily accessible. Put in the effort, do lecture questions, & ask questions! Dr. Garcia is awesome!

I'm actually reviewing BIOL 3325 Comparative Physiology Lab. In my 8 semesters at the U Sarah is the worst professor I've had. She is difficult to work with, bc it appears she has no respect for her students and is unsure of her own expectations. Her communication with the TAs was lacking so no one was on the same page. Avoid her class if possible.

Dr. Garcia treated us like we had no other responsibilities and had us do our final projects, take a quiz, take a unit exam, and turn in a two page write-up all on the last day of class. She was extremely inconsiderate and made almost no exceptions for people who were in difficult situations. Everything she did was an effort to stress us out more.

Dr. Garcia's teaching style is nontraditonal and is a reverse classroom which requires you to take a lot of responsibility for your learning. Each week there is a group assignment and quiz in which she holds a short review session on the quiz day so you can ask any questions. This class takes a lot of work but she is an excellent professor.

One of the worst profs I have ever had. It's clear she hates her job based on how she treats her students. She is rude and not understanding in the slightest. I took her online course and if we had connection issues we would be kicked from the class and not allowed to rejoin, she would then give us a 0 for participation. Do NOT take her classes.
