Great professor.Anatomy is a tough class but the Dr. Molnar does a great job of explaining everything that she expects you to know. Yes, every semester about half the class ends up dropping out and are quick to blame the professor but usually those students are the ones that stay in lab for only an hour and never bother to show up for lecture later

Shes a great professor. You have to attend lab and lecture to do well. Sometimes her speech is a little unclear since she speaks italian, but you get used to it.

The material is hard, this I understand but its defintely not the hardest class I have to attend. And it always helps to have an outgoing professor who seems very interested in their work. She is absolutely not helpful at all and If you ask for more detail she doesn't seem to understand why youd ask. She is always frazzled!

Dr. Molnar was very helpful in class and was always available to help with any questions during her office hours. This is a hard subject and it takes many hours of studying the cadaver and your books as much as possible. You can't just rely on the teacher, you have to mainly rely on yourself. This is College, that's how it goes.Great teacher!

As an incoming freshmen to college classes were different and hard to get adjusted but I have never had a professor that taught or treated her students like the way she did. She was HORRIBLE!

This class is tough. The ideas aren't complex, but the amount of material is overwhelming which makes the class hard. This class requires mostly memorization. She doesn't encourage question asking much, in fact, if you ask something she thinks you should already know, she acts like your question is stupid so we all just stopped asking. Overall good

Professor Molnar is easily one of the worst professors I have ever taken. She is unprofessional. It's like walking on eggshells around her. She needs to be in a good mood if you have concerns about the class. She also explicitly tells me that she ignores a bunch of emails from students, which is rude of her. Her lectures do not make sense too.

Prof Molnar is a real gem. She had her class on line with synchronous lectures and labs. So much easier than having to watch videos. She did several interesting discussion and she is available to help. Very understanding.

I took this class on line and I am very thankful for all the help I got from Prof Molnar. She was very understanding of the difficult situation we all are in and really helped not only me but the entire class. The weekly quizzes and homework really helped me to study and not cram. Not difficult but you have to study!

Fr this class every week we covered a chapter and 1 or 2 labs. Lectures are through Zoom, summaries (with figures), PowerPoint presentations, quizzes and homework are available on Canvas ( weekly modules). Overall it was a well organized class. We also talked about some specific topic. I liked the class and I recommend it if you are not a slacker!

I loved this class! It was on line but synchronous. Prof Molnar wan on Zoom twice a week for 3 hours each. Yes, this much but it went fast. She was able to make us talk and interact and it was fun. I will miss her and my classmates!

I loved this class. Learned a lot, especially regarding how to scientifically study a topic leaving behind biased and twisted thinking. I can see how few students did not like and did not accept this approach, but for me it was the most important thing I have learned. Strongly recommend this class if you want to learn science and how to think!

Solid choice of a professor, she was nice and her lectures were good. I loved how although everything was online, she tried her best to get us to interact with each other. That being said, sometimes trying to talk to her can be like walking on eggshells, kind of passive aggressive, rarely responds to emails. Solid professor though.

Great Professor! Organized, clear grading, caring and well prepared. She actually spends time to teach! Text her and she answer almost immediately. Variety of labs, not only simulations. Great way to learn the theory of the labs since we can't do them. Strongly recommend her!

Lectures would have been better if there was more involvement (Zoom polls, etc). Nice prof, but it just wasn't for me. Be ready to self-teach yourself if you don't like her lecturing style. Labs can be a bit confusing too, since you aren't actually doing them in person, but rather answering questions on them.

Prof Molnar is one of the best I had a Solano. She knows the material and has a passion for it. Class is well organized and she spends lot of time explaining lecture and lab material. The focus is on thinking not on technology. Labs are interesting

I liked this class. Lots of material but everything is introduced during synchronous meetings. You learn a lot if you attend classes. Weekly homework is helpful to spread the material. Online labs are focused din understanding the principles of the techniques and their application. Overall a great class!

Solid professor with enthusiasm to teach above what is in the textbook. Too bad that students are tightly linked to what will be in the test and how many points they can earn. I rather focus to what I can learn. I am thankful to Prof Molnar for trying to teach some critical thinking.

Make sure you have a clear understanding of Bio before taking this class. While it wasn't as difficult, there were some times when issues would have been prevented if she knew more about online and technology. She definitely does care for her students and if you need help, she's there for you.

I took the online async course and it was a bit detached, but that is usually to be expected with online async. Everything we did, except for a few discussion assignments, was through Pearson's HW platform. Assignments are organized consistently with one textbook chapter per week. Covers the subject well and I learned a lot.

I regret taking this course online. We did the same homework every week so it was repetitive and kind of boring. Her work was somewhat easy but it was kind of annoying, I wish I got to know her more, maybe I would have liked it more. Final was only 60 minutes with 100 questions, does not make sense as well homework was about 100 questions a week :/
