Very helpful prof! Cares immensely about her students, shows especially in 1 on 1 contact!

Dr. L-V is doin a great job during this semester.. keep it up (note: no pictures with horns on here!) =)

i dont know what you guys are talking about...if you think she is bad you have NO IDEA. lohmier-vogel is amazing! so far this semester she has been very clear and helpful. i agree with the person below..shes not the evil one!

She is a good prof who tries to make things relavent to students. Her tests were detailed, but no more so than the notes. If you can't handle this prof, you shouldn't be in science

She does a good job of teaching, works in neat facts and real world applications of the stuff you are learning. A very nice and helpful lady, as long as you are not just going to see her to whine about your marks. Really wants to help students learn.

Cut the lady some slack. This was her first year teaching the course so she wasn't clear on how to test her students. True her test could have had more application but I don't think you could have answered her Q's if you just memorized and didn't understand. But LV: I would lay off the sweden references..bit much.

Ok, first off, I don't think majority of the posters realize that their taking a bcem course. "OMG SHE EXPECTS US TO KNOW HER NOTES LOL!" yeah no kidding dip sticks. Shes not only very good at lecturing, her tests are FROM HER NOTES. Shes not as evil as people say she is. Even go to her office hours, a very nice person. Just read her notes...

Dr. Lohmeier-Vogel is not the devil incarnate, nor is she out to get students: Attention retards bcem is not easy, accept it. She is a good prof and does not diserve the diss.

I was terrified of Lohmeier-Vogel before taking her class, but seriously guys, she's not that bad. Her exams are tougher because they make you think and apply what you learned. She does a great job of preparing students to trouble-shoot and actually succeed in industry, which, uh, is the whole point of school.

Thought she was fantastic. Grading scale is beyond fair. Tests were BRUTAL - you really needed to know what you're talking about (kindda expected from a 400 level course though). It's not a walk in the park, but she gives you the tools to succeed - definitely requires effort to do good. I worked my ass off and ended up with an A-, so it?s doable

She really is a wonderful woman if you get to know her outside of class. This class IS HARD and she knows it. The material itself is massive, so make sure to review it a lot and ask her if you have problems.

This is a difficult course but she did her best to make it as easy as possible. She would come up to students after class to offer help, and was committed to our success. It required large amounts of work throughout the semester, not only at exam-time, but if you put in the effort you will come out fine. The complaints are overexaggerated.

This course is definitely not an easy one; there are tons pathways to memorize that you are likely to forget two days after the exam. She is not a natural born lecturer to say the least, easily gets flustered, but she is a nice lady. Approachable, visit her office hours; despite what it seems like, she does care for the success of her students.

If you can memorize useless facts and regurgitate whole slides, you are set. Likes to ask about things mentioned once in passing. She is actually a good lecturer and is funny. Not nearly as bad as anyone made it or her out to be. Tries to make lectures medically-relevant for student's interest. Easy to get an A if you put in the time.

I'm not done this class yet- but just finished the first midterm. Everyone is right: the questions are COMPLETELY unfair. Instead of taking the major concepts and applying them, you end up having to regurgitate meaningless facts (some of which she specifically said "don't memorize"). She also can be incredibly condescending if you ask questions.

Don't listen to the other comments, this is one of the best profs I've ever had: exremely caring about students as long as you care about the material. She takes time to regrade and will scale marks fairly. She has a bad rep because there's a lot of material in this class and some of it's difficult, but if you put in the effort you'll get an A.

She actually tries to help students succeed. Her lecture notes are very detailed but organization might need some improvement. Her voice is soft so sit at the front of the class. She is approachable to student questions but email responses take some time. Work hard when you have her. Tests are application and analytical focused. Labs aren't bad.

I recommend the class for its material-- lots of interesting and useful topics are covered. The prof was quite good but gives very difficult tests. This is a course where you either get it (and an A) or you don't. Prepare to memorize a boat load of pathways.

Excellent prof, very available for office hours and willing to spend hours discussing science.

A very nice woman who cares a lot for her students. But this course has way too much information, memorize every detail from her lectures. She will rescale the exam, which is nice but that wouldn't need to happen if the exam questions were fair. She is awesome but avoid this course like the plague if you can. I had nightmares over this course.

Dr. Lohmeier-Vogel is a very sweet prof, but mostly only to the students who come to see her and take their time to study the material. It is a challenging course, but very interesting. Her notes are hard to look at at first but all the material she tests is on her notes (not the textbook, I never used my textbook).

Her teaching style is to-the-point and straight forward. Make sure you attend ALL the lectures, or you'll be left stranded. Her exams consist of very specific concepts from her notes, but I found them normal in difficulty. I actually found the labs more difficult than her exams. She lowered the grade scale by 2% this year, and I received an A grade overall. I only recommend this course to those who will put in the effort.

One of the toughest university classes I've had to date just because of the sheer amount of material. LV just gets stuck with teaching it. She gets a way worse rap than she deserves as she lets everybody know what she expects. The only part of the course I really disliked were the labs. Thankfully they aren't every week. Work and you'll be fine.

An excellent instructor, and makes concepts crystal clear. There were very few moments where she was unclear in lecture. Despite my uninterest in protein purification, she made the course enjoyable. Her exams are tough, and she expects you to memorize every detail in her slides. Also, the long report had unrealistically high expectations.

ELV is a good prof and caring towards students. The notes she provides are awesome, and everything she tests are from there. She loves testing little details; this throws off a lot of people. Memorize EVERYTHING off her slides if you want to walk out with a good grade! The lab reports for this course are very time consuming compared to others.

Dr. L-V. gets a bad rap because she is stuck teaching a "hard" topic to students who don't want to be there (either it's a requirement, or they are taking it for medvet school). But, the course is actually quite easy (I studied for two days before each exam, and pulled 90% on each). Pay attention, stop whining, and you'll do fine.

Shes really clear about what she wants, and if you can deliver it on exams, youll get a good grade. She is very helpful, especially if you go to her office hours (just don't expect her to tell you the answers, come prepared with specific questions). Shes a bit blunt, which some ppl might take offence to, but she means well. Great instructor.

Dr. VL expects more of students than did Dr.B-NG. She's a funny person but students take her jokes (sometimes crude) way too seriously. Lectures are long, slides are full of information, labs reports require 8 hours to write and tests require very specific information. Hard class for sure but not completely unfair.

She taught half the course and I became very uninterested. Not very clear when teaching. I could not focus, I found the lectures boring, filled with irrelevant info. She was a nice woman though. Her tests were easy, but I had previous knowledge. Without it I would have done much worse than I did. I wouldn't take another class with her.

Although her expectations may be slightly higher than normal, she makes her expectations quite clear (details matter). As long as you are willing to put the effort, you will walk out with a good mark. Lab reports were slightly time consuming. Dr. LV is very fair with the grade scaleexams (certain q's removed if too many students get it wrong).

Prepare to be mentally destroyed. If you can't draw the structures and formulas of every bit of information, you arent going to do very well.

k no.... class was so easy, basically high school biology. As long as you have the textbook you can clarify using that. She's pretty funny sometimes and talks about her cat a lot and tries to relate it to the lectures. All slides are posted online so if you miss a class its easy to catch up

Dr. Lohmeier-Vogel is a fantastic prof. She only teaches half the course though, which is a shame. Lectures can be a bit long sometimes, but with her making jokes and telling funny stories, it doesn't get boring at all. I really wish she taught the entire course! She posts notes online which is great. There were only a couple exams.

When I first signed up for the class I was really worried since I saw what everyone on here had to say. But I absolutely loved her as a prof. There is a lot of content and memorizing needed, but you just need to make sure you're paying attention and keeping up with the lectures. The labs aren't that bad either. And she's always open to help you.

She is a very fair prof, her tests were very straightforward. However, you need to be willing to put in the work to do well in this course.

She was very clear with her expectations. You must go to class and do all the readings but if you've done all that and taken Bio 30 in high school you'll be fine. You could tell that she was passionate about what she was talking about which made going to class that much better. Overall great prof and would take again.

The class is fairly straight-forward, everything you need to know is on the slides. Be prepared to memorize EVERYTHING. Lab reports are time consuming. Tests are tough but the grading is fair. Tip: if Dr. LV says something will not be on the test, it will definitely be on the test.

She really does her best to make the class interesting, despite that most of it is memorizing reactions. The labs are fun but all full lab reports that are long and tedious. The grading for the exams is very fair and she's good about curving your marks if they're lower than they should be. I've definitely had worse classes, so don't be afraid.

I noticed that almost all of these reviews are negative, but Dr. Vogel is not a bad professor, her tests are very tough however the material she is required to teach is tough in itself. With that said she is a very fair grader and that helps a lot. BCEM 443 is a really hard class and I think she does a good job with what she's expected to teach us.

It's a lot of material, labs are painful (lab reports have high expectations) and she can be a tough grader. But she's absolutely hilarious and expect to enjoy her lectures, her ppt slides are amazing. If she says it won't be on the exam or it's extra material, KNOW IT. Put the time and effort into this class and you should be fine.

Quite a lot of material to learn but it's very manageable IF you understand what's going on. Lecture material can be dry but she tries her best to keep things interesting. Make sure you know absolutely everything from the notes and you'll do great since her exams are fair. She also tries to balance lab grades if there's a discrepancy between TAs.

All the midterms and the final were straight off Dr LV's lec notes. The class involved lots of pathway memorization, but Dr. L-V tried to make things funny with relevant health facts & jokes. Beware though: Her notes often have mistakes. Ask to clarify things you don't understand. Dr. LV is willing to help and caring in her office hrs.

Her teaching style was very practical with multiple aspects of laboratory content in her lectures. She was honest with the class about performance, no honey-coating. I appreciated the time and effort that went into her preparation of course content. She made herself available if you needed help. I hope she continues to enjoy being a scientist :)
