She is the worst teacher ever!

This horrible woman made me change my major. I studied, hard, took notes, and got help from the tutoring center. She made me feel like such an idiot because I wasn't catching on as quickly as others. I had no confidence in her class. She should never be allowed to teach again.

Knew her stuff... but she was unclear and got mad when you didnt get it.... she would yell at us after each test. crazy lady, a little too into her work I think

real **** should not be teaching anyone

she is not a proffessor that I would ever reccomend to any one.

Bottom line is..she gives lextures, & you have to write the notes from the overhead... while you trying to get everything dwn b 4 she flips the screen, shes talkin ..at the same time...very hard to comprehend. She also is very snotty! Its very obvious that she teaches the course b/c she knows the material, but she can care less if you pass the cour

She was tough. Didn't explain very well. Did alot of studying and taught myself alot of the material. Always promt on answering email and friendly upon office visits. Explains things way over an average students head.

Condescending and critical, poor lecturer, lectures were incoherent and poorly organized, very stressful class. Study group was okay, but not comfortable, didn't lend much to the awful lectures. Someone should teach her how to lecture!

I was in her class literally for 4 days, and decided to drop it, and take another teacher...she is the worst teacher ever!!! She dosen't explain anything, and when you try to copy the notes, she talks and changes the prompts....she is very rude and mean, she should seriously retire!! If you want to struggle, be stressed out, and feel stupid, take h

She sucks!

Difficult professor, do not get her. You will suffer a lot she goes too fast on her lectures and you are forced into learning by yourself. You won't do well.

I would never recommend her to any student because she does not know how to teach.

I went to every lecture and came out of every single one not knowing what she said because she talks to the class as if we knew what she was talking about. She talks instead of teaching. I'd rate her a 0 if it was an option. Just don't do it

She is the worst teacher you can possibly take.

worst professor ever. shes old she thinks we know how to do everything . well shes been teaching the course for 40 years, we havent . instead of taking her just take the stupid lecture class online. all she does is read off the powerpoint . thanks but i can do that at home .

Shes very knowledgeable; however, shes not a good teacher. She speaks as if you already have the knowledge rather than teaching. I would not suggest taking her.

She is honestly awful. She talks to you as if you should already know the material when it is her job to teach it. This professor does not explain in detail. You have to go home and self teach yourself. I higly recommend that if you have the option to not have her as a professor to choose someone else.

Worst class ever. She teaches like you are supposed to know the information. I learned nothing from her lectures. It requires for you to teach yourself which was hard to do and I show up to class to be taught not to have to go home and do it myself. Waste of time.

I've been at Mercer for 3 semesters and Falkow is is the worst professor I've had! I'm very surprised administration has kept her! She knows her stuff but her teaching skills are NOT effective at all! Be prepared for reading the lab manual on your own, it's the only way you'll pass. If you see her on your schedule- choose another professor!

had her for bio 103 lecture, the lectures in her class are hard. she gets mad when you ask to go back on a slide and shell go fast and she wont try to explain anything shell just read EXACTLY whats on the slide...

Just don't take this class. PERIOD. Don't get me wrong, she knows her stuff but she doesn't know how to help YOU understand if you're struggling, which last time i checked was what I was paying for. She also embarrassed a student in front of a full LAB rather than waiting for the class to clear out. Lesson learned? Don't take Falkow.

Shes horrible! All she does is read off the powerpoint but doesnt actually teach. It gets very boring quickly. Basically teaching myself while paying to take this course... waste of time. Do not take her.

Online labs are typically 30 minutes long for what is supposed to be a 3hr class. Doesn't give any additional information outside of her powerpoints. Is not understanding or adaptable to the new online setting. Average grades for the first exam across her classes were in the mid-60s. Be prepared to teach yourself all of the material or fail. Worst.

Test questions are confusing and get ready to study because she will ask questions on the smallest things. Gave wrong information at times and doesn't engage students except when reviewing (which I don't think really counts). The only good thing is that you can get 20 extra points if you do the textbook quizzes.

I took her online class. She is terrible. She reads off the slideshow. She doesnt engage with her students. She is rude. And her test are very hard

actually one of the worst classes i have ever taken no joke. i dont recommend this professor at all please do not take her. she is not a good teacher. her lectures basically consist of her half way reading the slides and you can barley hear her. she does NOT care about her students. the test averages were usually 63.3% every time. expect to not pas

Her lectures aren't good at all; the class average is 66%. She gets mixed up with her words easily, reads off slides, and has these awkward pauses. She does a bit better in lab, but her lab practicals are strict on spelling. In general, she can come off as rude and her jokes could be awkward. Her e.c. can be great though and studying is fair game

Lectures are horrible. She read slides without any explanation, assuming prior knowledge. Questions annoy her, and she is rude. The class average was consistently low, yet she never considered her teaching as the problem. This class is waste of time and money, I taught myself everything. Wish I could rate her lower. Avoid her if possible. BRUTAL.

I would not take this professor again, she just reads her ppts and that is it.

Doesn't answer emails, humiliates students in front of the whole class because of their writing (saw it twice), corrects herself often during lab

Didn't properly teach material and isn't a great help

The professor needs to understand tha she is in the classroom to teach and answer student's questions. Her job is to teach, not to expect the student to know all the answers, and especially not to ridicule or make jokes in front of others about their questions. We pay a lot for these classes to learn. I wish this teacher could understand that.

only reads ppts in lecture, very unhelpful and most of the stuff on the tests isnt even what she goes over in lecture or lab. She says the Mastering is not needed but it is because it gives the information she wont give in class.

just awful. doesn't give info in class or on notes then it'll be on tests. expects you to remember absolutely absurd amounts of information within short periods of time. only goes over powerpoint in class, that again is brief and doesn't go over everything you need to know for tests. u need to get a textbook and packet from library too.

Im serious abt studying,so if you are serious about passing BIO 103,dont take her as your professor. She just read the slides,she doesnt explain & when we ask questions she will let you feel that you should have known the answer. She made me feel not to want to study again doesnt explain well.I withdrew her subject and never took her again.Horrible

She just reads through the slides. She has favorites and she is a super tough grader. She doesn't help you at all. Do not take her.

This professor I don't know if I should call her professor because if reading a powerpoint in class makes you get paid and have the title of professor I would be a great professor too. She doesn't replies the emails. The exams are hard because she says that you have to study from the powerpoint.

The material is very heavy and its a lot of information all at once and her teaching does nothing for you. All she does is read off the slides for lecture. Her test are DIFFICULT. The multiple choice questions are so hard. I went to every single class and studied so much and still failed. The way she words the questions make no sense. Avoid her!!!!

If you think Reading PowerPoint is what teaching is, then you are wrong! Do not spend you money to pay for someone to read and bunch of info, choose someone else who does it by heart and know that a student is here to learn. Awful!!!
