Teachers who have a high failure rate need to reassess their tests. If more than half of your class is failing that means maybe you need to revaluate your tests and exams. Her study guide does not help on the multiple choice part of the lecture exams. The matching part is really hard. There is just so much information and its overwhelming.

Mrs. Dy is a very personable teacher and teaches the subject well, having said that listen to the reviews of others. It is a hard/demanding class. Don't fall behind.

Form a study group quickly. It's best to have your peers accessible just in case you have questions. It's easy to get points through the assignments. They will help you boost your grade especially if your test grades are low. Lecture has a lot of info but she posts her previous lectures for you to rewatch. Overall great class. Would take her again.

She is very nice and takes her time answering any questions you may have. YOU MUST attend each class to pass this class. Do not take this class if you are not ready to put your absolute all into it meaning skipping events to study etc. She is very helpful and uploads lectures to help. Studying is an absolute requirement to pass her class.

Professor Dy cares about your ability to succeed in her class. She offers a lot of extra credit. I noticed many dropped the class because they bombed some of the tests earlier in the semester but it's definitely possible to recover. You just have to learn how to best study for the tests and find a good group to do labs with and study.

Class is hard overall but with the right effort and time put into it it is possible to pass. Her lectures are 2 hours long but very detailed and precise. Great instructor overall and very organized class in general is tough.

This professor is a tough grader. She will ding you on many parts of your class discussion posts and responses to other classwork. Grading like an English course, markups will include grammar, complete/incomplete sentences, comma splices, spelling, and how well you address the topic of the discussion being asked of you w/ other related punctuation.

The subject overall is hard to teach, but Dy does her best to make it as digestible for students. She provides lots of study material that I found helpful. She offers extra credit on lecture + lab exams as well as separate assignments. Fast grader, too! Def one of the best physio professors you can take!
