Professor Gutterman is an awesomely kooky lady. Her stories are hilarious and entertaining, and yet somehow it all ties together to help you remember something about a patho topic. She is more than fair, the workload isn't too bad and she doesn't try to trick you on the tests. Everything you need to know is in the powerpoints. Favorite Molloy prof.

Dr. Gutterman is the sweetest professor! The course is hard because there's a lot of memorizing and there are not many test opportunities. But she makes class more enjoyable by telling stories that help you remember the material. She genuinely cares about all of her students! NO textingsleeping or she will get mad, pay attention and you're fine!

Gutterman is a decent professor who loves the sound of her own voice! If you read the syllabus, it says she wants class participation, but when people ask questions, it's like she's annoyed that you're not getting it. This class is NOT about memorization, but rather application. Be prepared to learn your $#!% & apply it! HARD CLASS!

She is a wonderful teacher. Great Lectures and she cares about her students. If you want to pass-do not cut. I learned a great deal- she keeps it interesting. Her stories are hilarious. If someone has a bad experience with her-it is probably because they didn't do what they were supposed to do.

Taking Gutterman in the summer was not a pleasant experience. 3 tests each on 70 pages of notes in 6 weeks was hell. She is beyond intelligent but teaches as if we are at her level therefore there is a lot of material that must be relearned at home because it is not broken down enough. Don't think you can ask questions, she is pretty derogatory.

Although Gutterman is a genius, I absolutely DO NOT recommend taking her class. I must admit that you learn a substantial amount of things you never knew before however, her tests are OUTRAGEOUS. I am a B+, A- student and I was struggling to pass. There is way too much material on her tests that she expects you to know in depth. DONT TAKE HER!

This professor is a character, and not in a good way. She is unapproachable so do not try to ask her a question because she overreacts and will not end up helping you. She does not correspond her power points with the textbook and her slides are all over the place, very difficult to understand. Does not give a cumulative final. No textbook.

Professor Gutterman definitely knows what she is talking about. She is very knowledgable and absolutely hilarious. Her stories are repeated every lecture but are nonetheless funny. You have a midterm, a final, a paper and a crossword. For the tests there are 300+ slides on each so STUDY HARD. Exams difficult but not hard to pass if you read a lot.
