Emma Guiberson

I thought that the material was interesting and I had to take the class. However, it seems that the sections taught by Guiberson and Miller covered pretty different material, which made me wonder which had the more important elements. The exams were hard not because of the material, which was difficult to fully grasp but doable with time. They were hard because the questions were often unclear and sometimes felt like they were trying to trick you. Prepping for exams was stressful because often I didn't know what to do.

Prof. Guiberson seems really nice and all but her course is just ridiculously hard compared to the other sections. Our exams were built for the full time and extremely difficult. It's not what you expect but somehow covers all the information she's ever taught you. Based on the difficulty I think even if it were open note, open internet, etc people still wouldn't score that well. The problem sets were easy, practice exams were also easy but not at all related to the exam, and the presentation was ok. I liked the material we were learning but the exams were testing if you were lucky enough to memorize the niche details that she mentioned once despite there only being like two slides max on the topic itself. You have to fill in your knowledge outside the course and come prepared before class or else you're going to be lost and unable to keep up with how fast she goes through the slides.

Professor Guiberson is very nice but doesn't seem to know biochemistry as well as is needed to teach effectively. I liked her format of giving lots of practice opportunities in class. But she doesn't always understand the material and it shows in her lectures and grading. If I hadn't already known most of this material from biology classes I would've been screwed. I hope she takes the time to learn the content for the future because I think she has a lot of potential as a professor based on her teaching style.
