She was mean.
Welcome to college everyone, stop whining about the teacher and actually try studying- you may actually learn something, and get this- you will get a good grade too. She's a good teacher, don't be mad because she made you think.
she wasn't that bad.
This class really needs a new teacher
Sorry, Im not the nerd that sits infront of the class. I have better things to do than try to decode what she is saying! She hates midgets too! Dropping bio was my smartest move ever
Look, college is not highschool. It requires a lot more work than any highschool class. She's not the easiest teacher in the world, but I'm sure she's not the hardest. Throughout College you Will Have tough teachers, get used to it
holy crap, worst professor ever. I'm not saying that because I'm doing poorly, I'm saying that because she's an idiot. The class is very unorganized, and the material is presented horrible. And she tests on unclear questions and non material stuff

she sucks
Her teaching is unclear because you need one of those decoder rings out of a cracker-jack box to uncode her changlish (chinese english. Also, she frequently jumps around in the lesson with no apparent reason and skips chapters she expects you to know.
Terrible...needs to learn how to speak english. Example she says INSHULIN for Insulin and CALSHIUM and stuff like that...She was fired from Pitt main and she is 3 years past retirement.
shes not that bad. if you study, youll be fine
I'd rather jump into a tank filled with Electric eels, portuguese men-of-war, Sharks, u name it.
Ok if you study...which you should you should be fine. Don't be afraid to ask questions. She isn't as bad as people really think! TRUST ME! I got a B in the class... STUDY STUDY STUDY! AND don't wait till the last minute
Ang needs to learn English. The wording on her tests are confusing, as are her lectures. I learned more by skipping class and reading the book on my own time. She won't help you after class either.
Take someone else, anyone. Get a puppet to teach the class. Can't be any worse
She might be the worst teacher/Professor i have ever had in my whole life. This lady is rediculous.I seriously think she is the devil trapped in a 4'2 womans body that teaches biology. And why does most of the words that come out of her mouth end in SHUM&
She's not as horrible as people say. I looked over the notes for a couple hours each week and if i didn't understand something she'd reteach me and draw diagrams for easier understanding. i ended up with an A...she's not that bad
If you can't get at leat a C in her class then you shouldn't be taking Bio. She really just weeds out the ones who shouldn't be in the program. Live with it. Change your major.
I had her in the summer. She was nice, good, and I got an A. However in the fall she changed, and I earned a B. Also, I do say you don't learn much. She doesn't cover the material effectively that bio majors need to know for the future.
She's terrible. Dont listen to those who say she's not bad. She doesnt teach well at all. Shes very unclear and misorganized. Needs to learn how to be more organized and present material more clearly. Tests are VERY HARD even tho the format is easy.
She knows her field and has high goals for her students. You may think that she is mean, but trust me she isn't. You just have to get to know her. I had Dr. Ang for many classes. Although, I never got an A, I learned a great deal from her. Ask Questions
Very intelligent BUT extremely difficult professor. Very nice when you get to know her. The class was a lot of work but I still received an A. :)
This is one good teacher--organized, gives good examples, always prepared, willing to spend time with you outside of class, BUT you have to study! Then you can go to see her with anything you don't understand and she will do anything to help you. A nice
Dr. Ang was a very difficult teacher. But, the one thing I will never forget..."Gluclose is the favorite food of the brain."
Excellent teacher!
She's helpful if you go to her office. She's nice too.
SHE SUCKS...don't listen to these****s...she is the worst teacher at upg...take cheek
tough as hell
Has anyone had Ang for Biochem? She's the only one that teaches it and I want to take it but I haven't heard too many good things about her. Any advice???
Really knows her material, won't take**** from people, just do your work and study hard and you will do fine in her class and learn a lot too.
I learned more in one term than in 2 yrs in hs. She's a great teacher and will help you if you work. Go to her office and ask questions (but study first). Only idiots who don't work do badly and blame her!! I can't wait to take her again when I'm a sophmore.
Worst teacher I've ever had. She doesn't present her information clearly. She isn't helpful or at least when i went. Get another teacher, anything but this one.
Knows her stuff and will help you learn it BUT you have to study. She's really a nice person.
Sucks
I think she's a genius. She doesn't read from slides like other professors. Her class is a challenge and if you work really hard you'll get an A, I did. READ THE CHAPTERS.
Worst ever prof, dont listen to the people that say she is good. I had her last year as a freshman, and i thought she was awful. Im doing much better with other bio profs. TAKE CHEEK OVER ANG
Ok, i dont know what you're talking about...i DID study all of the time for this class...and I ended up with a B which isn't bad...but i didn't learn a thing off of her. Take Cheek...you'll actually learn some Biology!
i had her for vertebrate morphology and biochem. hard as you can believe but a very good professor. she is a bit difficult on the freshman. she's trying to get you out of the bio degree. very good professor, but i will never take her again
All as i gotta say is timed tests and u have alot of questions. Not to mention u learn afterwards...crazy. stay away if possible.

Do yourself a favor and go to Barnes and Noble and get a biology cliffs note book because you aren't going to learn anything sitting in her class. her tests have questions that repeat with different answers. consider yourself lucky if you get a B in this class. she needs to work on her speach, the accent is hard to get past.
her tests suck!
Wow. All I can say is Wow. I *WAS* a bio major. No longer. It's all over for me. I have now changed to chemistry. Bio ruined my life.
i liked her, never went to class did very well
you have to read an listen. i have an 88 right now. she is very approachable and nice. on a side note, she even give you fritos if you go and see her office hours!
Dr. Ang's idea of 'teaching' was to hand out around 30 pages of sloppy notes to the class. Then she basically just read them to us. Out of the first 3 exams there was 1 A. On the first and third exam everyone scored less than 75%. It probably would have been just as effective if this was an online class, or preferably if someone else taught it.
It is an extremely hard class but as long as you keep improving on every test and go visit her in her office you will end up with a decent grade at the end of the semester. Overall she is an okay professor.
I got a B in Ang's class, but I really didn't learn much. I wouldn't recommend taking her unless there is no one else to take, which was the situation for me. As of now UPG only has 2 upper level human bio profs. Try to avoid taking her if you can.
the worst teacher i ever had. and the most resistant to help when you dont understant. hard to understand her accent and is hard to follow along with in class. i changed schools after having her. we all agreed she shouldnt be teaching.
She's mean and rude. She teaches from notes when she went to school and they are like 40 year old notes. Things have changed since then. She will basically call you dumb to your face. And she's always right, the book's wrong.
I'm a straight A biology student and I DO STUDY! This instructor picks favorites and is by far the worst the university has to offer. She will only degrade you for asking questions. Maybe some of you lower level classmen have had some luck but those serious about biology good luck if your not her favorite!
Worst Teacher. Do Not take her for Bio 1 she will fail you and her notes are all on the over head and she goes so fast. AVOID HER
WORST TEACHER EVER. AVOID HER AT ALL COSTS!!! When you ask a question she gives you a lot of attitude when she answers it. SHe does not use the book AT ALL and she thinks that she is ALWAYS right. Even if you study like crazy you will BARELY pass the tests if you even pass at all. She has no compassion for teaching and should not be at upg!
Her tests are timed and she does not give enough time. All you can hear during her tests is the kitched timer ticking away. Also, after the exam is over you start learning the new material. DO NOT TAKE ANG!
This woman is Horrible! She can't teach at all and on top of it she is very incoherent! She can not teach and what she does try to teach it does not make any sense because she runs in circles and expects you to know everything before the class starts. Stay away from this teacher at all costs!
bad bad teacher
TERRIBLE TEACHER! DO NOT TAKE HER! I never missed a class..EVER..and i still failed. I even went for her to get help..STILL NO HELP. Other professors at UPG will advise you NOT TO TAKE HER!
Good professor. I read these reviews after getting stuck in her class and was very worried, but she turned out to be a good professor. She has her quirks but if you want to actually learn and get a good preparation for higher level bio courses, take her. She's really not as terrible everyone makes her out to be- they're just lazy.
Worst teacher i've ever had. i failed the class with an F and i attended every single class. she times her tests n lectures after them so u are being rushed. she is very hard to understand and dont bother asking her a question because she doesnt know how to answer it either. take dr. paz
SHE WAS THE WORST PROF I HAVE EVER HAD!HER TESTS ARE 100 QUESTIONS IN 45 MINUTES.THERE ARE ONLY 3 TESTS IN THE WHOLE CLASS.YOU FAIL ONE YOU FAIL THE CLASS.AND THE FINAL WAS 200 QUESTIONS IN LIKE 2 HOURS.DURING CLASS SHE WAS KNOWN TO PUT HER OVERHEADS UPSIDEDOWN AND BACKWARDS.SHE DIDNT EVEN NOTICE SHE JUST KEPT ON TEACHING LIKE NOTHING WAS WRONG!
Mmmm.....Never even had this teacher and she sounds like a complete B!. So ya I'm not gonna take her and nobody else should. And that accent, WOW! Aight, I'm out.
after the first test she tells us that the average grade was a 56 and she didnt expect us to go "SO GOOD".. wat the hell.. i got the highest grades in the class on every test and still ended up with a B.. def takes ALOT of studying.. but if youre looking for a 4.0 DO NOT take her.. noone gets an A.. although she does curve final grades, at least 1/
would never take her again for any class
She lost my first test and just assumed I had missed the test despite signing the attendance sheet and have several witnesses of my presence. She's forgotten what it means to be a teacher, plain and simple.
Simply the worst professor I've ever had. She has no interest in her classes and would not help during office hours. Highest grade in BIO 1 was a 57%, she did not curve. I retook this class with Dr. Paz and got an A. Avoid this teacher at all costs!!
Simply an uneffective teacher. Shoots down anyone that answers a question wrong. Was not helpful during office hours. Knows material, but should not be a teacher. Is not qualified by any means in my mind.
She may not be the most "helpful" professor, but you will learn a lot in her classes if you try. She expects you to learn and study on your own, but will go over what she feels is most important in class. Overall this class was moderate in difficulty, but I learned a lot! I would take her again!
i took her class 10 years ago and it totallyyyyy sucked. the worst teacher i've ever had. i was looking up a different prof. for another class and thought i'd see how people rated ang. i am not surprised she has such a low rating. she deserves it.
Horrible professor. I am finishing up my semester with her, and I believe there is only three students out of the 76 that are passing right now. She doesn't curve, and you can't even understand her English. Do Not Take Her.
If youre in her class, get out if you can't just drop, its not worth hurting your GPA
She is a very difficult teacher. She doesn't explain anything well and goes off on random tangents. If you want to receive a good grade in bio 1 and learn anything at all DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS! (or this teacher)
She's a decent teacher, demanding but fair and helpful if you're willing to study and do the work. She's willing to meet with you to answer questions or to go over things you don't understand. But don't try to bluff. If you don't put the time and work in, you'll fail the course!
Not easy at all. You have to put the time in and you'll get the grade. She read directly from the slides when I took her, and all the information was straight from the book, but her tests were fairly long.
I've long graduated college with a bio degree,however anytime I look back on my path I wish I would have taken someone else so my GPA wouldnt have taken as much of a hit.Long story short you can get a better quality education from the other profs without wanting to slam your head in a car door.yes its possible to pass with her,its just not worth it
I actually really like her as a person. She's not the best teacher ever BUT all you have to do is pay attention and STUDY. Don't be lazy and you'll be fine.
shes awesome! really enjoyed this class, was something new. I would recommend taking this class with her. work load was do-able. quizzes were of our notes and so was the final.
