She is a new professor who apparently was just hired on full time. DO NOT TAKE HER FOR ANATOMY. She is the WORST professor I have ever had, she gives incorrect information, doesnt know how to give a lab practical, and doesnt even make sense half the time. Her tests are easy but you will not learn a thing. This is a major problem for me!

I had to get use to her accent, but is doable. She expects a lot from her students (more than half of the class dropped by the end), but explains what you need to know for the tests.

She really wants us to succeed in our future careers as health professionals. You have to work for your grade. Its a hard subject and shes a tough grader but is approachable and helpful when you dont understand the material/expectations. I feel prepared for microbiology and my future health career thanks to Dr. H.

Asynchronous. No lectures, you have to read the textbook and teach the material yourself. Do the questions she gives in each week's modules to help study. Exams are hard, but you are not proctored(open notes) and you are given adequate time to complete. Weekly labs are mandatory, but there are easy. Not such a bad honors class. She's very caring.

Professor Hernandez taught me effective ways to study that I'm still using to this day. She is more than fair, and her lab classes were very interesting. The online portion of her class was a little disorganized. If you're able to teach yourself from the book, you should be ok. Some tests are much harder than others but still very doable.

Dr. Hernandez is a great professor. if you're like me and have an affinity for life science, she's a great educator that'll tap into that desire to learn more. Her Biology 1 class is a very hefty course- 5 units- but if you read the prep modules before lab days and stay on top of it, she's a great teacher who wants to set you up for success. 10/10

Dr. H is a super nice and caring teacher. She truly knows exactly what she is teaching and enjoys doing it. She wants to see her students succeed and is there when needed. Her way of teaching can be a bit tough but physiology is not a very easy subject as is. I would honestly take her course again for any other science class if needed!

Be ready to be stressed out more than you anticipate. The professor is very knowledgeable of the subject, but seems to teach us in a way as if we're on the same level. She is very particular on how she wants things worded in exams, if its not written in her way you get no credit for effort. Exams are multiple choice, and SA, both graded separate.

You can do good in the class if you focus on the learning objectives when studying and pay attention to her lectures. She often tells you what some of the questions are going to be.
