Class 141 Human Biology I Laboratory overall an okay teacher but she tends to talk about multiple things at once and jumps back and fourth with it.

Dont take her. She will have you stressed. The amount of work. It was the worse class I've taken at hostos. It's annoying the amount of work she assigns and doesn't grade it on time or even at all. Get another professor. One that doesn't use pre-covid recordings to teach the class. Terrible audio, and careless demeanor.

She is no joke, but she cares in a way that you may not like. She is about letting you learn to succeed and she sticks to that. If you have been in and out of school like me, you would have wished all your teachers were like her.

She's very strict with attendance. Make sure you're paying attention to this class if you're taking it online, she will pick on you! Her lectures go past the time which is kind of annoying- the class is already long. She will make sure you work hard for your grade. Also, she's very sarcastic and mean.

She is one of the best professors I've had so far. This was anatomy lab and lecture class which was fully online in the summer of 2020. I was still able to learn a lot. Few students in the class complained a whole lot!! It was annoying and some of us felt these students took the class because they thought it will be easy online.

Her lectures are torture & go way past scheduled time. She is not the nicest & tbh very annoying. She acts like she cares but when you email her, she sounds annoyed or is sarcastic. I loved the lab assistant Sylvester so much! If it wasnt for him, I don't think I would've survived this class. She gives unnecessary work & is slow at grading.

I love the subject but Im sorry I cannot stand this Professor. She always spoke way past lecture time. I dont like her attitude and how she teaches at all. It wasnt useful to me. Enjoyed a&p1 much better. She took her time posting grades too but we have to be on time. It was not okay enjoyable. Would never take her again.

Her classes go beyond the assigned class schedule of 3.5 hours daily. Mandatory 2 hour lecture videos after class. 6+ Quizzes and Exams each week and pre-lab quizzes before every class. I learn more from reading the textbook and doing practice questions than listening to lectures.

inconsiderate when it comes to the class time. She lectures way past the time and its unprofessional to lecture for 4 hours straight just because it is online. People have kids & the many assignments to do from this class. She also requires us watching her lecture videos which are extra 2 hrs & knows when you watch it. Made me hate this class.

Hate teaching style. Gives a lot of repetitive, unnecessary work. Her lectures are unusually long & at points people zone out pretending to pay attention since she talks so much. Dont find the lectures helpful & dont believe you should overwhelm students with work. Makes class unenjoyable. Ive learned a lot in A&P I & never did this much work

Great professor and a sweet, knowledgeable person. The material is tough but if you pay attn and take notes you will do fine. Quizzes before every lab. Makes sure you hand in all your work and gives extra time.

Professor Lois is a very good professor, she knows everything about science, but about FYS she was a little bit out. FYS is an easy class to learn about NYC, and she gives a lot of homework, assignments, quizzes... Personally, I was so confused and this class was the most stressful. As a person, she is very nice and very knowledgeable.

Dr. Lang was good. Had her for lab, she gives a quiz everyday before class, but it's for your own good so you can read the material ahead of time. She also explained things in the simplest way possible and wouldn't stop explaining until everyone understood. Definitely would take any class she teaches!

Dr. Lang is a great professor. She is amazing ! She cares about her students and give plenty of extra credits to help you improve your grades. You do have to read and do a lot of homework though online but it is all for your own benefit. If you are a serious student go ahead and register for her class, you will not regret it.
