Unclear, unfair, gives different answers to the same question when asked several times, and doesn't remember whether she said a test was going to happen or not, but goes ahead with it anyway assuming everyone is lying. She absolutely cannot be wrong and will not be challenged. Stay away. Far away.
Took for LAB and she is terrible.If given the choice, I would've rated her a ZERO. Not helpful, suffers from memory loss and can't understand her half the time. DO NOT TAKE HER!!!!
Very Awsome. I wish to have her as a nursing professor. She hands out o1 1/2 page notes, study it, next day quiz, subject closed. One organ function per quiz. Students gave her gifts. I recommend AVC students to come to LAVC for her. If one person cheats, she drops the test on the whole class. She even offers potluck.
Very nice
Arora gets a bad rep., but the bottomline is that she is a professional in the field of physio and expects you to act accordingly. Also, regardless of how confusing lecture can be, you have the textbook and studying it will get you an A. Don't look for handouts, go to film school if that is what you want.

Fantastic Instructor. Full Time Scientist in her full time job, she's Full of Knowledge in the Biological and Chemical Field. Take advantage of her knowledge. Very nice and reasonable. Tests and quizes are easy if you study by her sylabus. I was absent 20% of the time due to my job and still earned an A. One of the best instructors I've ever had.
Goes extra miles to make you understand the subject. Extremely passionate about teaching and helping others
Good at explaining material. easy tests 80% of the time. other comments are true about her working FT while teaching, so do take advantage of what she has to offer. She wants her students to get A's. as of spring 06, she may take a break from teaching to work on her studies. take her while you still can.
Dr. Aroroa opened the class with the statement "I teach from my heart. Please learn from yours." She didn't lie; she does teach from her heart, loves what she does, takes all the time needed to explain and stays late should you need help or clarification on something. Sometimes her accent is difficult, but you can overcome that.
I currently work in Professor Arora's lab as a student worker-as I have for many professors. True, I'm not a student of hers-but I just have to say that this lady has a great heart and is probably the sweetest teacher I've met-and I've met some great ones. She clearly knows her stuff and always seems very fair.
A great teacher, amazing heart. She truly cares about her students and will do anything to help you succeed (as long as you try, too!). And her goal, first and foremost, is to make sure you actually LEARN. Her tests are really simple and her labs are also pretty quick and easy. Just stay current with the material, and you'll do well.
Great Teacher!! Easy A if you show her your trying. She's sweetheart. Take her you wont regret it!
Dr. Arora is a very knowledgeable individual. I am not scared of biology anymore. Dr. Arora has taught me alot and I still continue on learning as we are still in class. If only all the professors could be like her with the passion to teach and to be able to touch at least one students life to make a differnce. I just wish she would teach Physciolo
She was only my lab prof. but was extremely sweet. If u have questions she will take time to answer them. Easy A, just complete her labs and pass her 10pt quizes every wk. She reviews the material for the quiz RIGHT before you actually take it. Quizes based on her short lecture & labs. Really NO excuse NOT to pass. She gave no Final/No Midterm.
STAY FAR AWAY from this teacher. Not a good teacher, language barrier, makes fun of students, quizzes are all fill in the blanks, won't tell you how you are doing in the class, need I say more? She is a sweet person don't get me wrong, but not a good person to be teaching Biology.
Dr. Arora is an excellent teacher. Not always so clear, but truly loves to teach Biology. It's not the easiest class in the world, but I highly recommend her!!!
After having to take the class a 2nd time for personal reasons, i didn't expect to get dr. arora AGAIN, but she was asked to teach summer. There is still al language barrier, but the 2nd time around she wasn't as bad as she was when i first took her. I would recommend her knowing what i know now. Study, do good on tests, and kick butt on final.
sweetest prof. i ever had. she is very intelegent knows her subject very well. i will defenatelly take her class again.
Dr. Arora is a genuinely nice person and anyone who has taken her will certainly agree with me. Not only is she an over-acheiver (we're lucky to have professors like her), but she will also motivate and push you to pass the class. no cummulative final!! she is definitely fair in grading. if you want someone who CARES to see you pass, take her.
she has a big heart, sweet lady, loves to teache and the most important she cares about her students. take her class you will enjoy the class and will love bio.
Dr Arora is one of the best teachers I have ever had. She's passionate about the subject and it shows. It's not an easy class but she makes it as painless as possible. She cares about a lot her students and is always willing to help you succeed. If you must take bio3, do yourself a favor and take Dr. Arora.
She is the BEST professor in LAVC. She is very sweet, very passionet about her job and most important she want her students to be successful. Take her class and you will know what im taking about. And Dr Arora if you are reading this THANK YOU
She is the greatest teacher ever! Take any class she teaches! Attendance is a must but it's well worth it. She makes sure you understand all of the material, fully prepares you for each test/quiz, and she's just nice to be around. The book is pricey but who cares you'll most likely leave this class with an A!
DOCTOR ARORAS ABILITY TO RECITE HIGHLY COMPLEX CONCEPTS AT WILL IS ASTOUNDING, SHE IS A DREAM TEACHER IF YOU LOVE SCIENCE TRASH YOUR CELL PHONE PAY ATTENTION AND YOU WILL LEARN MUCH..DOCTOR ARORA IS ONE OF THE TOP TEN TEACHERS I HAVE EVER HAD. SINCERELY DE :)
Extremely helpful and really cares about what you learn!! also very generous when it comes to help on the quizes...
WOW! Dr. Arora is the BEST! She cares VERY deeply about her students and wants only to share her knowledge with you. She encourages asking questions and interactions in class. She has a wonderful way of explaining biology so its in terms you can understand. HIGHLY Recommended! You won't regret it one bit!! Thank you Dr. Arora for a GREAT class!!!
The class is hard if you dont pay attention. There is a quiz each class, labs are easy. Lectures.... it's hard to take notes she goes very fast! You have to read the book! I got a C in the class! listen before quizes she gives answers!!
im correcting last comment.. sorry made a mistake she doesnt give out the answers.. she askes questions similar to quiz and helps you remember some of the stuff.. she gives you clues... not answers..
Dr. Arora is the best she's really down to earth and truly cares about her students who are really serious about learning biology. Her class isn't super easy but, just listen to her lectures and you will pass. Her final project is the best take it seriously and you will do fine. You are the best Dr. I will miss you very much. A.R.
Dr. Arora was really great. She really loves what she teaches. You WILL have to study. Her teaching got me to quit smoking the 3rd week of class though and it has been almost a year and I can't bring myself to relapse after the information she shared with me. I have taken Anatomy since then and got an A ! She's alright by me. Thanks Dr. Arora!
One of the Best Professors i ever had!Extremely knowledgeable and yet very humble. She genuinely cares about students learning. Great inspiration for students.
I was so scared of Biology! It all changed when I got through the first week of Dr. Arora's class. She has a way of reaching out to her students and involving them in the class. She has a unique approach of teaching Biology and relating it to your daily life. I have never met a Professor like her who genuinely cares about every student.
took her for micro and I would recommend her to EVERYONE! She has a lot of patience and takes into consideration what her students have to say. She wont let you fail and her way of teaching makes it really easy to understand,.. we started with a full class and ended with a full class, that says alot!
Microbiology is a hard subject but she makes it easy. Wonderful teacher, gives extra credit and if you have any questions she is happy to help you.
Dr. Arora is the best!She makes the class interesting. It is a hard subject but she gives you a chance to do well by extra credit and an assignment at the end instead of a final. She really cares about her students and wants everyone to succeed. You do need to do your work but don't stress if your test scores aren't that great you get extra credit.
Amazing Professor! I didn't want to do anything with biology but this professor earned my full respect in every aspect. She is very generous and really cares about her students. She likes to listen to concerns and makes the class fun for everyone.
BEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD BY FAR. Dr. Arora is very considerate, nice, and is willing to go the extra mile to help you.I hated biology & took the class twice before, but not only did I understand the material, she made it interesting for me. Truly a wonderful teacher. I would take her again in a heartbeat.
She is a great professor, will def. help you during her office hours, will go over things to make sure you understand them. She clarifies things over and over (if needed). She answers any questions you have during lec and lab. I would recommend her to anyone.I'm gonna change my major just b/c of her. I love her
Very informative and intelligent person. Loved her class and the way she presented the material. One of here lectures actually got me to quit smoking and it has been over a year and a half since I last smoked. (Since September 15th 2010)Don't think I ever will again either. Really good instructor and a very nice person.
Dr. Arora is a very caring, humble, person full of knowledge she will go above and beyond to help her students. the subject is hard but, she will eplain and make it interesting you will enjoy her class .
Professor Arora is very devoted to her work and cares about her students..She is overall a very genuine person.READ the CHAPTERS/BOOK and you will do well..I wish all of those in the medical field were just as benevolent as her. P.S You should already love <3 this class if its one of your major's requirements!Best of luck to everyone!...
PROFESSOR AURORA IS AWESOME. SHE CARES FOR HER STUDENTS AND IT SHOWS. ALONG WITH AMAZING STORIES SHE GAVE GOOD LIFE LESSONS. YOU WILL LEARN DEFINATELY LEARN IN HER CLASS. IT'S NOT BORING. SHE DEFINATELY KEEPS YOU ON YOUR TOES BUT THAT'S WHAT'S NEEDED FOR THIS CLASS.
Exams are hard!! She is not helpful at all.
I do not know why people keep writing these kind of nice things about her. She makes the course more difficult than you can imagine !!! In the first test we had more than 70% D and F !!!!
She's terrible, couldn't even understand a word she was saying during lecture. Stay away from her!
Very hard exams. very unclear on what is needed in class. Ticky and hard. need to study a lot just to get a C from her.
Amazing professor with the passion to teach and make you learn. She makes the subject very interesting to learn. Very brilliant professor who offers a lot of help. People who are saying bad things about her are wrong. She is a professor who wants the best for her students. She was a miracle in my life. Made me decide my major and gave me faith.
Very Helpful and thrilling class, if you are taking the class for an easy A your in the wrong class, you must dedicate your time and effort for this calss and it will pay off 100%. Dr. Aurora is a very smart and helpful professor and she is there for you and gives you her full attention and help.
Professor Arora, is the best teacher in the campus, This is a hard upper division course and not a easy course, it is for people who want to actually learn. Highly recommend this professor because she is the most sweet and helpful (one that actually cares for your education) professors. Not to mention she gives extra credit. Highly Recommended
Very helpful teacher, works with you, explains throughly, tests are hard but not if you study her notes and the textbook. Wonder teacher to have and a great experience... Highly recommended Class is hard but if you put your hard work and dedication to it you will get an A AWESOME teacher for this course MUST TAKE!!!!
Poor quality. Very hard and stressful class. Not recommended. Avoid at all cost.
I could not understand anything in her class. In my opinion she is one of the worse teachers ever. Not recommended. Hard stressful class and exams.
very difficult class. Hard to understand. Hard exams. No help from her other than bunch of unrelated stories. Take at your own risk.
Exceptional professor who knows her subject and the recent developments in the area. She turned a very difficult class into a great learning experience. we were 32 students on the last day! Wish we had more professors like her.
The Best Professor for a very difficult subject. If you know your basics and are willing to work hard, you can't find a better Micro class. I have had it before with another professor and was very scared in the beginning. Her positivity and passion are contagious. She is always there for you. Dr. Arora, Thank You!
AWESOME PROFESSOR! Extremely interesting class. I got an "A" in that class. Professor has great lectures. Changed my views for better. Professor is very helpful and understanding. She loves to teach she loves her students. She is very funny and easy to talk to. She is the best teacher in Valley College! Thank you Dr. Arora!!! Christiana A.
Dr. Arora is helpful when you ask the right questions. She cares about you passing your class which pushed me to reading the material thoroughly. She helps you by giving extra credit and by staying after if you need clarification of anything discussed in class. No doubt you have to know yout stuff just like any other college class. I recommend!!
I've never met a professor that cares more about her students and teaching! She wants every single person to do well! It is completely doable! If you listen to her during lecture and read over the material you will definitely do well! She gives reasonable multiple choice exams and gives extra credit options as well! TAKE HER! you won't regret it!
I have come across some great professors but no with with the Passion and Current Knowledge like Dr. Arora. She brings most recent advances to the class and explains them with contagious passion! She inspires you to work hard. The first exam was a challenge but she motivates you to work hard. I really enjoyed her class. Thanks Dr. Arora!
I truly learned in lab! Dr. Arora’s love, wisdom, veteran knowledge, and skillful teaching of microbiology pour onto her students. Because of her passion to teach so that others get it, cannot be explained in words. Dr. Arora cares as a great mother of education that her students are educated, informed, applied knowledge obtained, and inspired.
Very knowledgeable and yet very caring professor! It is a hard class but she is always there for students. Even spends time her own time to sit and explain things to students who want to learn. She inspires you to work hard and encourages you to participate in class. If you are sincere, you can earn your grade. Our class truly respected her!
Sh constantly has long clear lectures and quizzes you on them. The best thing about her is that she applies the knowledge to the real world by sharing her experiences.
Dr Arora is the best prof in valley college this class it's very hard but she takes time to explain to you the subject she's there for you if you have any question or you need help with something there is 4 tests and 2 lab quizzes and an essay with presentation if you study for it you will do well I love this prof I wish all the prof are like her.
Dr. Arora was amazing. Great professor.
She is the most helpful, dedicated and supportive professor I've ever had.
Dr. Arora is such a kind hearted professor, I am so glad I took her class for Winter '16. She always motivated me to do well. If you study and just listen to her lectures you will do great in the class, I learned a lot!
I have never met a teacher or person more inspirational than he. She explains things in a way that you will never forget it. She makes science make sense to people who may not understand science. She also has a great since of humor.
Dr. Arora is truly the best teacher i ever had! I took her for biology and now micro. She cares about her students and will even stay late after class for any questions. She loves teaching and doing it the best way possible.
What I have learned in my years at community college and universities is that you want professors with day jobs that are successful in their respected field, Dr. Arora is certainly that. I have never learned more in a science class, and I have never felt more encouraged to succeed. Take her, you will not regret it!
Best professor ever. She cares so much about her students & will give all of her devoted time to her students. She is willing to help her students pass in any possible way, I would take class again
The BEST science professor at Valley in general. She truly knows what she is teaching and cares about you learning something. The class is intense, but she is cristal clear with grading criteria & helps a lot if you don't understand anything. Please DO the extra credit. She is awesome take her class, you won't regret & will take a lot from her.
The BEST professor EVER to walk this earth! She is passionate about what she teaches and makes sure her students receive the adequate amount of help they need. The subject itself is hard but she does a great job at explaining the material!
I took her Bio 3 class for summer. The course was only 5 weeks. There are exams every Monday & Wednesday and quizzes every Tuesday & Thursday. It's very important you take notes and pay attention to what you're learning in the labs. She's very nice and knowledgeable and wants to make sure you're understanding. Make sure to ask questions.
I took this class during Summer so there was a quiz every day! They weren't too bad if you payed attention to her outstanding lectures. I wasn't doing well on my quizzes, but it didn't matter because she gave a lot of extra credit to raise my grade to an A. Wants you to learn and pass! Great teacher! I hope I can take her for microbiology as well!
Worse teacher. You will hate yourself for not listening, do not take her! You will learn nothing from her. Micro is a basic easy class but shell make so much stressful. Unorganized, students are lost in labs, exams are unnecessarily confusing. I wish I had known this. Just too stressful
Horrible tests, 4 multiple choice 50 questions. 2 written lab exams 50 questions each and 1 presentation. She knows her field extremely well, but a very difficult tester. The subject is hard itself so get ready to study
Dr. Arora knows her material well. Her lecture/slides give you what you need for the tests. Labs were not prepared most of the time. YOU NEED TO STUDY!! she won't give you grade, we have to earn it. Very valuable and respectful professor. It was super hard but possible.
She is an amazing woman. She knows her material very well. 4 exams and last one is not accumulated. Do not drop the class after 1st exam(everyone fails 1st exam) You can still get an A. Gives EC, LOTSSS of Extra credit.
The best professor at LAVC, if you get the chance make sure to take her. She is so passionate in her field and will do her best to help you succeed. She is so respectful and her tests are very understanding. She gives a review a class before the exam that sums everything up and it helps a lot. Her slides and red bullets are very helpful!
One of the Best easiest Microbiology Professors out there. She truly helpful, nice, and very passionate with her students. Please donot sleep on her. Easy A class, labs are really awesome. Easy A Professor. She is the nicest person.
She is the best microbiology teacher at LAVC. The red bullets in her lecture and the slides in her lab help a lot! :) She gives a lot of extra credit too. I wish she teaches physio ...
Dr. Arora Chander is very caring about her students. She will go out of her way to help you understand the material. Always putting her students first. She's a fair grader and will help you if she sees that you are making an effort to learn. She brakes down the material very well.
Professor Chander Arora , VALLEY COLLEGE MISSES YOU SO MUCH. WE NEED YOU, to teach Microbiology. All these profesors cannot get into your level. You were such an inspiration to all of us!!!!! Please come back!!!!
