she is a really good teacher.she gives lots of extra-credit but its all or none.however, she is hard, but she helps students with extra time, but you have to study your own atleast 3-4 hours a day to get an A in her class. She helps outside the class ex. Study sessions.

Very hard teacher, Be prepared to work your ass off. Gives x-credit but her all or nones are difficult & usually you will get no x-cred points. Need to study ALOT. Has favorites that she chooses throughout the semester & if you are not one of them,you'll probably fail.Does study sessions outside of the class but she talks too fast & are useless

This teacher expects you to grasp concepts that I think are up abve Jr. college level material. She teaches material that is not even in the book. This teacher gives hot sheet for up and coming exams and usually the material she says to study isnt even on the exam. You have to study and learn everything in detail otherwise you will not pass.

As much as possible try to sit in front if you want to learn. Her exam hotsheets do help. She's a bit hard if you're not up to the challenge, but she's very accomodating. If you have questions or wants to clarify things you don't understand, she's willing to spend time with you outside the class. You have to work hard for your grade.

I took the intro class and she was very forth coming on being negative. She reminded us each and every day that most won't pass. Her study groups were a joke, she used the time to discuse her extra curicular activies. I honestly think she missed the point of intro. She did add everyone,was organized; but helpful not im my opinion.

Too much extra credit. If you know baking you can get extra credit. Also, her lecture is hard but the exam is relatively easy. Written part is easier than the multiple choice part. Extra credit itself is much more easier to get you jump a grade if you want to rely on. Also, she answers cell phone during class but you can't.

Dr. Rexach is a great professor. She has a wealth of knowledge and explains things first in a very technical and scientific manner, and then breaks it down so you can understand it better. She's definitely challenging, but I don't think her class is hard. Barely studied and got a high grade. She's challenging, but you WILL learn. She's great.

Dr. Rexach is great! People who complain about her are people who just do not have the aptitude for science. She demands a lot, but she puts in a lot; you WILL learn so much in her class, if you allow yourself to. Put in the work and effort, and you will get an A. Don't bother transferring to a university if you can't handle Dr. Rexach.

Biggest advice I could give to anybody taking this class is to "timebox" everything in accordance with how much it's worth.

Lectures are very clear therefore the tests are so easy because it's based on the PowerPoint. She is very smart and helpful. She shows a lot of interest in the students and wants all of us to pass and succeed. Offers extra credit if you show up to her club which is helpful towards your career.

AMAZING! Yes you work for your grade. My advice is to study right when you learn the information, or a week before. Studying the day before for lecture and especially for practicums is something you do NOT want to do in anatomy. If you do so, you are totally doomed. Take advantage of extra credit! Complete the workbooks! Overall, great professor!

Anatomy itself is a difficult class, but Professor Rexach made it a great learning experience. She is very tough, but that's only because she cares about her students' success. All study guides are posted at the beginning of the semester. Do them, don't procrastinate. This class requires time and effort. If you're not ready to work, don't take it.

Dr. Rexach is a highly respected professor and I acknowledge her involvement in the medical field. However, I feel as though that she is not very passionate about teaching. She seems preoccupied with her clubs and extracurriculars more than being there to help her students. Also, she tends to curse during class which I find highly unprofessional.

This class is hard, make sure study really hard. I don't like the way she taught the class. she gave us PowerPoint and she talked in class. Not too helpful for me to learn. I basically have to learn everything by myself and stem center coaching. But she will replace the lowest lecture with a prefinal.

If you are going to take Dr. Rexach's class, you need to make sure you have a lot of time to study the material. This is NOT a walk in the park. The class is offered as an "Introduction to Immunology" however it is not taught in such a manner. Pros are online quizzes and pre final, cons are extremely difficult midterms and finals (in class).

She is incredibly smart. She uses personal stories that are sometimes entertaining/useful but oftentimes are just strange vanity projects. She gives an insane amount of difficult material and can be condescending if you dont understand.

One of the best professors I've ever had. Even with a bachelors in bio, I find this class fairly hard so you gotta study alot.

Quizes were fair. Exams and final are not due to limited time. Final average grade was an F! Dr. Rexach is a hard grader, so do above and beyond work. This class needs to change the units from 3 to 4. The introduction needs to be drop too. This is not an introduction course. This is an immunology university course, not intro!

Course begins to be difficult when the math portion kicks in. This is where everyone drops and if they stay some will fail! Make sure you tell her to give you a video that shows step by step on how to do the math problems. If she continues to just explain verbal without visuals, refer to the textbook and see her during office hours.

I love this class, but her tests and exams are time limit, about 1 minute per question, and that is ok, if you teach the material aroud the test and exam. The questions are not text book, put off her lectures.This is a problem, since you are on a time limit. She need to improve her test methods, and lectures for better exams.

I don't want to be disrespectful, but she is pretty out-of-touch with her students. First off, she does not make exceptions for anyone EVER, often talks down on former students, is not really accommodating at all, and is overall strict. She does give rare make-ups. But, it feels like she is overall unsupportive and dismissive.
