Although she really knows what she is talking about, she is the worst TF. She's rarely available outside of class, grades tough and is condescending when you ask her to repeat herself. She 100% ruined the course for me.

One of the worst lab coordinators I ever had, she was so unhelpful. People asked to switch sections with one another, and she tells you that there is no one available to switch with you is a lie. She's condescending when you ask questions, and literally rude if she doesn't like you. Muscedere the lecture teacher was so much better at teaching.

Condescending and on some occasions, unprofessional towards students in lab. She clearly favors students she likes from day 1, instead of encouraging us regardless of our backgrounds and appearances. I got an A- in lab but I feel like I didnt learn a lot since lab is poorly designed. She knows the content but def doesnt know how to teach it.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Honestly don't know why she is teaching: one of the worsts professors at BU. So condescending to students and her labs are stringent and horrid because of her. not approachable at all. AVOID

THE WORST lab I have ever taken. I have one year of biochemistry lab experience, and 3 years in an actual research environment. This is the worst lab I have ever experienced. And the textbook is awful. The class needs SERIOUS restructuring. Felt like a waste of tuition.

Now. This lab? Not a fan of how it's run at all. Everything is computerized and you're expected to finish the whole procedure, which is poorly worded, as well as a postlab assignment by the end of the period. How? The way this class is weighted makes it almost impossible to get the grade you work for because lab drags you.

Her lab manual has about 10 typos per experiment, and the contents are extremely unorganized. Bi315 lecture part is manageable and interesting , but the lab is absolute horror. Dr. Seliga is probably an amazing scientist and professor but not definitely not the best lab coordinator.

This is the most disorganized, unclear lab I've ever been in. Not only does it have almost nothing to do with BI211 lectures but also people are failing this lab while they're getting A's and B's in lecture. The grading criteria- you can do the same thing in 2 different papers but get points off only in one. I would avoid at all costs.

expected students to attend multiple labs during week with no respect that students may only be able to attend their assigned lab due to other work. expected to juggle testing 20+ subjects while also participating in 11 experiments. unreasonable expectations, purposely vague about grades. This lab wasn't the most difficult but the most frustrating.

Seliga is known for backing up her TFs even when they are in the wrong. Our team was treated horribly as our TF clearly had a bias towards another team because a member was "funny". If you bring up unfair grading to Seliga, she just refers to her convoluted manual as your only resource. Grading is unfair and harsh and she does not pity you.

Horrible. Before the pandemic, lab manual was always unclear and the TAs always had to make corrections. After the pandemic, a nightmare. Papers due practically each week and were worth so much, with harsh grading, TAs said it was based on her rubric. My TA was very nice and helpful. Be very careful with your writing, easy to get deducted points.

She is extremely disorganized and fails to outline the assignments well. All of her class materials are confusing and she blames the students for her own faults. She is also very condescending and talks to her students as if they're children. I would go out of my way to avoid taking a class with her again.

if u want to write a 10 page grant proposal over the holiday by all means take this class! i thoroughly enjoyed writing it as i got to see my family for 2 seconds and spent the rest of the holiday in my room writing this paper! thanks seliga!!!!!!! love you girl!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lab manual is a mess (3 separate components sent to us at different times, one updated manual component, and 1 STEM writing guide). Assignments are extremely vague. No clear feedback on grading. Stats heavy despite it not being a prereq. Assigned an extensive write-up during Thanksgiving. No sympathy for having to learn in the midst of a pandemic.

This lab was such an immense waste of time. We didn't learn a thing really, so in that case the lab completely missed the mark. Seliga likes to come across as caring, but she's not. Assignments are harshly graded and she gave work over the break. She's definitely been one the most disconnected professors I've had at this school. Love the TA's tho.

Never saw the professor, only interacted with the TFs and LAs. Not very clear grading and used the exact same rubric for papers that were vastly different. I don't think that she knew anything that the students were doing in lab.

Barely interacted with her and only TA's. When I did interact she was not understanding about the Lfa situation and overall very rude. Her lab manuals at 500 pages long and impractical and make it difficult to get a clear grading criteria. Doesn't seem to care about student's success. Overall all I can thank her for is damaging my mental health.

It's a joke and a trainwreck. The structure is awful, it's tangential, you won't learn anything, it wastes your time with meaningless "team activities" and every step of the way is laughably ridiculous. The "syllabus" is a prezi game-board, the different documents you need to comb through are super long, unorganized, and you can't ctrl-f.

Lab material is remarkably unclear. You will spend a lot of time trying to interpret what is expected of you. All you are expected to do in lab is form basic writing assignments to a laughable template. This lab is known to be a grade killer for these reasons alone. All you will gain from this lab is trial-by-fire group bonding.

This is the most confusing lab I have ever taken. There is no rubric for the papers except the lab manual which is extremely vague. The syllabus is on prezi and you cant search on it. The lecture portion of the class is great but the lab is unnecessarily stressful and could be made so much better with transparency about the grading of assignments.

The worst professor at BU. She, and all the TFs that run this lab, are so disrespectful. After following the given outline of an assignment as closely as I could (using an NIH guideline offered to students for an assignment) I got marked a 70%, and when I asked the prof what to do to improve, she said she wished she gave me a 50%. Disrespectful.

The lab section of this course is horrendous, the materials provided to us were unclear, vague, and not remotely helpful for success. My TA was disrespectful and the expectations for students are too high from Seliga. We used Kahoot to determine which group would get a chance to redo a paper which could be the difference between an A or B.

Course was extremely disorganized and expectations were very unclear. Very little direction was given and rubrics were too generic to be useful. My TF seemed to be very uninformed as she had to ask Seliga everything before giving me an answer. Only take if you have to be and be ready to be annoyed. I would rate as a 0 if possible.

One of the worst lab instructors at BU. She uses multiple different web platforms such as Tophat, Tophat Community, Blackboard, CATME, and Prezi as well as syllabus documents and writing guides where information is scattered and difficult to locate. Rude when you are confused. Inconsistent and harsh grader.

Her lab section is incredibly diorganized and instructions are almost nonexistent. Every paper was nonsensical as instructions were divided among different platforms such a doc given on week 1, top hat assignments due weeks earlier, and her version of a "syllabus". How she's allowed to coordinate a class or teach anyone is beyond me

This professor never answers your questions straight or in a clear explanation.

Dr. Seliga takes the cake for the worst prof I've ever had at BU and I have never even spoken to her. This lab was beyond pointless. No instructions, just a prezi. Not at all applicable to class material or real life. I truly cannot put into words how painstaking this class was.

Uses Prezi for a syllabus, incredibly disoragnized & cannot control + F to find anything. Grades inconsistently & leaves a huge blemish on the otherwise great lecture. Going through this course converted me away from christianity as I cannot believe that a caring god would allow this class to exist.

Absolutely terrible in every way; she should not be teaching. Her syllabus was on Prezi and it was completely disorganized. Assignment instructions, due dates, and grading criteria were unclear (TFs graded differently). Organization of the course was illogical and didn't flow. Assignments themselves were tedious and were completely unnecessary.

WORST professor ever. Usually, a lab group has 4 members, however, 2 members in my group dropped the course 3 weeks after school begins. Prof Seliga asked the 2 of us to stay in the original group so that 2 of us need to do the work done by 4 people in other groups. We basically do double the work we should do. NOT CARING AT ALL.

Worst lab I have ever taken. This class is disorganized, I felt lost 90% of the time. Horrible grader, tough and not understanding at all. I was so excited for this lab but it turned out to be SO BAD.

the worst lab I have ever taken. just awful. None of the instructors communicate with each other so if a TF or LA in the lab says that something is correct is not a guarantee that you will get credit. the rubric doesn't make any sense. extremely disorganized and unclear instructions

this lab is one of the dumbest things ive done. idk why they choose to make it so annoying but just be ready to have your assignments brutally graded. Even if u think you followed the rubric it still doesn't work out. The emphasis on being in a team for lab is overdone

Organized with a complicated/contradictory Prezi®, her lab encompasses "sucks 2 BU", w my capricious TF. I don't know which is worse: having a paper worth 20% of lab grade due during Thanksgiving; writing 4 different/ redundant papers; or being forced to analyze my 'squad''s teamwork. This lab alone must have overwhelmed SHS mental health hotline.

Literally what is this class for. I would rather tear all my hair out before I even think about the amount of unnecessary work I need to do for this lab course. The fact that all the assignments are formatted as if this is all a game makes me want to ingest battery acid. I would rather jump into oncoming traffic than goto this class.

Absolutely hated the lab. The lab portion has no to little correlation with the lecture. Very needy and greedy on the assignment. Tiny mistakes can mess you up. Uses a lot of applications when things can be simplified. Lots of teamwork requires and cannot change group. The lecture portion is fine but this lab is just an awful nightmare.

She doesn't teach anything, designs an awful lab, and grades extremely harshly for no reason. She's actually the worst "professor" at this school.

The structure and organization of the lab are all over the place and the stuff you do in the lab barely touched on the lecture materials, nor it is anything meaningful at all. The worst part is the grading with unclear expectations and harsh criteria. They don't seem to appreciate the efforts you put into these hectic assignments. A huge meh.

Hate her so much. The lab had nothing to do with the lecture material, and you basically had to learn everything by yourself.

Unclear grading criteria. Says one thing on instructions and then totally goes against it when grading. When confronting her about these specific things, she acknowledged I was right, but still did not change my grade...

lab is not related to lecture in any way and the expectations are horrendous right out of the gate

RUN. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS WITH HER. worst lab curriculum in existence made of incomprehensible and incoherent instructions. absolute pain. RUN AND DONT LOOK BACK.

I WANT TO CRY AND TEAR MY EYE BALLS . get me out. pls do not take this class or report to someone .

absolutely ridiculous lab. she has no idea how to teach. lab is not at all related to lecture. i would have preferred to just read case studies or do fun experiments. instead i'm sitting here designing my own clinical trials and writing useless papers. seriously wanna get the dean involved with this rn

Lab is irrelevant. This course should not have been allowed to be offered by the Dean. Do not take this class with Seliga if you can help it. Unclear guidelines with absolutely no support. Abritrary guidelines. TF doesnt know whats going on either or what is expected from students.

I spent 6 hours doing an assignment that should have taken 13 minutes and somehow got a 52% with absolutely no help from anyone. The class material is so poorly written it does not look like English. Good luck to future students taking this class. You will need it.

Unclear grading criteria. Says one thing on instructions and then totally goes against it when grading. When confronting her about these specific things, she acknowledged I was right, but still did not change my grade..

took her for bi107 and would not recommend for any course. Does not know the material and definitely doesn't care about her students. If you care about your quality of life and want to preserve ur sanity, do not take this class. NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP, NEVER GONNA LET YOU DOWN. NEVER GONNA nUNUNUUU and DESERT YOU. yeah no.

dont take

This lady made BI315 lab a living nightmare. I can't begin to explain how much I detest this lab. Literal TFs apologize for the abomination that is her grading system. I do research outside of BU and am published and present at medical conferences. Yet in this "research" lab, I get 60s because of minor things - not even mistakes, just trivial junk.

BI 315 is a great class, but Prof Seliga ruins the course. Everything is graded so unfairly. There are no rubrics and you are not allowed to questions about the grading expectations. You are literally set up for failure. Points are taken off for trivial things. Lab is uninteresting and not related to course content.

She is very unreasonable and terrible. Her grading criteria is very unclear. I never want to take a class with her again.

The physiology lab as a whole does not relate at all to what we learned in lecture. Unfair with grading and overall tries to make our lives as miserable and difficult as possible.

I am struggling already, this class is very messy, even the TFs are saying the same thing. Class has nothing to do with lecture, I just don't enjoy spending hours searching for research papers. I think this class is an utter waste of my time.

The grading is absolutely unfair for the lab. The rubrics for students and the lab fellows are entirely different, and there is no room to improve. Dr. Seliga never answers her emails. The material is beyond easy for the lab, but the grading is absolutely insane and unforgiving.

This lady has serious issues, she makes the course very hard to understand and even more hard on grades. The lecture is fine however the lab is very ridiculous with large assignments with little to no instructions. The TFs and LAs are no help and when you do reach out for help, they are very cold and not understanding. Don't even think about taking

Her labs are atrocious, she will deduct points from your lab report if you add an extra comma. Random groups for lab are also horrible because you might get stuck in a group with a collective IQ of -4 so you have to carry or drop. Ignore all the positive reviews as they're probably fake ones made by herself anyway. I hope she steps on legos.

She is so bad. Even if you read the instructions carefully, you still don't know what is next step. Also, there is not an overview of what you should do during the semester. Her grading rubric is so strict and she always deducts points for some unnecessary reasons.

Has an incredible power complex, will lock you out of lab for half an hour if you are 2 minutes late. Grading criteria is never clear and will take off excessive points for small penalties. Actively tells LA's that they are grading assignments too high. Is unforgiving on deadlines and exceptions, even if out of your control.

Seliga is a harsh grader for labs. We'll get points off if we forget commas. Systems lab is way more about learning how to follow unclear directions than it is about physiology.

She doesn't care about you and will laugh at you if you do something wrong.

I will never take her again, please choose other TFs

Dr. Seliga gives unclear directions, rude, and is very nit-picky when it comes to grading. I understand being tough and wanting to push yourself, but at least give us a fair shot. Hopefully with all of these bad reviews maybe she can hand over the course to someone else so that other students will not have to go through this nonsense.

extremely rude & disrespectful. speaks in a condescending manner towards students & considers them as inferior. i did well in lab overall, but i would never put myself through this mess of a lab ever again- no rubrics given, unclear/contradicting grading criteria, ambiguous instructions, & clueless TFs. if you do get stuck with her... good luck...

I really tried to like Dr. Seliga, but BI315 lab makes it really difficult. Expectations for assignments are longer than the papers themselves, yet still incredibly unclear. The only thing I learned in BI315 lab was how to interpret confusing instructions. Really takes away from sys phys lecture. Unfortunate.

She gives out ambiguous guidelines and expects you to have the knowledge to understand. Don't take her for lab please

Seliga takes her instructions way too seriously. The guidelines for assignments are longer than the assignments themselves and she forgets her own guidelines when you ask questions about them. You could go to her office hours, have her say that the assignment looks good, and then she would fail you. She has some sort of power complex.

Pray.

Insanely hard grader.

DO NOT TAKE THIS LAB EVER EVER EVER IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOURSELF. The lecture was great tbh, but this lab had me going through the 5 stages of grief every week. They purposely pair you with students who declare themselves at "not hard workers" and if you declare yourself as "a hard worker" you will do all the work and fail. RUN SO FAR AWAY

Lab course work is completely unrelated to lecture and is a ton of work per week. TAs grade very harshly and will bring your grade down.

I mean...She can make our lives easier but she chose not to, even I didn't have her as my TF, all of her unclear instructions and her strict orders to the other TFs gave me hard times. TFs are not allowed to answer specific questions, they cannot even look at your paper specifically for feedbacks and feedbacks are vague and not very helpful.

I think she thinks "how can I make this overly complicated and tedious" when she is making her assignments. They are so hard to follow and extremely long. Everything is so weirdly strict and difficult. Lab feels like an entirely different course than the lecture because they are unrelated. If you aren't required to take this course, save yourself.

this course is so poorly set up its crazy - the prelabs are impossible, activities at the beginning of the semester are difficult to understand and end up being pointless, and instructions for the final project are so insanely difficult to understand and are so unclear its laughable (they think more words = more clear, and it is NOT more clear)

Very awful. Assignments are not fun to complete and she grades extremely harshly. Her rubrics are 10+ pages long sometimes. She is also very stubborn and won't acknowledge when she makes a mistake when grading. I would avoid this class if you can help it.

Seliga might think she's funny and make jokes during lectures, but they're actually corny AF. We often ask her questions during lab and don't get a definitive answer; instead, she'll yap for 15 minutes and then ask, “What do you think?” at the end. Her pre-lab assignments aren't helpful at all for preparing us for the lab. DME ASSIGNMENT IS USELESS
