Reviews of professor Maral Tajerian

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
One of the better prof in the department, most of which is horrible. Interesting class (Neurobio) and good lectures, not just reading from slides. You will need to study for sure but its very doable. Super cool prof, makes class enjoyable and relatable. Some memorization but theres really no way around that. Assignments and group proj help grade

3 HW assignments (worth 10%). 3 Exams (2 midterms 20% and final 30%). She lectures off PowerPoints but dont be fooled, best to read and make sure you understand the material yourself. Review sessions before the exam but theyre so easy and unlike the exams. Exams were unbelievable and ridiculous and too much for trying to memorise 7-8 lectures.

Took it last fall. Given that this is a hard course, I also believe she is the best one to teach it. Don't go TOO much into detail. She doesn't trick you, and even guides through her exam questions. Attend the review sessions, they will tell you where you stand. She is caring and so patient with student's never ending (annoying) questions.

AMAZING class! Best professor I have taken in QC! She really cares about her students and makes the material easy to understand. She is also HILARIOUS! Bio is not supposed to be easy but she makes the material approachable and interesting! She's also a great dresser!

Eh, not an intriguing professor. Lectures can be skipped and you just oughtta study the txtbook. I wouldn't go to lecture cuz its a waste.

Very nice and understanding Professor! She puts memes on some slides so that's a plus for me. The course can be heavy in material, but if you actively study and not cram everything, it's not so bad! She can be busy at times but if you schedule an appointment, all your questions will be answered. 2 exams 1 final + one research paper + group project.

SHE IS AWESOME! So funny and interesting to listen to- it's like a talk show for biology. She performs the information and makes it easy to understand! She even has memes in her slides for when the information gets dry. Don't need to go to lecture but definitely listen to a recording afterwards. Wish she taught 106!

I took this course online. Her exams are kinda hard. The first assignment was okay but the second assignment was a mock research paper. In total there was only 2 exams & 1 final. The questions on the exam were fill in the blanks and true/false type of questions. OVERALL, her exams questions were tricky and difficult.

Take her!!! One of the best professors for a biology course in Queens College. Very caring and easily accessible outside of class for office hours. She's also hilarious and makes a really difficult subject like neuro - biology easy to grasp.
