she is a very good professor and very helpful...she make sure each student understand the lecture and her class is very easy compare to other professor...her test was very easy as long u review the notes...guarateed A!

I liked Dr Thai. She was a good teacher. She wasn't hard- the class was hard. Her tests were very fair. I got out of the class what I put into it. In anatomy, she drops the lowest test, in micro, I hears she doesn't, and she's a little more tough. Hey, that's the way, she was schooled. If you don't like it, go elsewhere. she's great & beautiful.

Shelly was good. Her lectures are intense so don't miss one. The notes are online, so you can study in advance. Her tests are COMPREHENSIVE, so study everything. She throws in extra credit here and there. She has office hours to help which was helpful for me. The only bummer is she takes forever to get your grades to you.

Professor Thai is not the worst teacher in GCC. she just expects too much from her students. Her tests are HARD, and she is really picky with spelling.I have never read the book in this class because everything that is ont the test is in her handouts..basically if u study every word of her handout.. u'll pass with an A.

Very difficult, but fair. A very good prep for University I feel. You can get an A in this class, but you have to work for it. Study her notes first, if you know those well, you'll do good. Book is good for support.

This was a tough class. you have to do a lot of memorizing. if you're good at that, then you would do fine. I didn't touch the book. everything was in her slides, that was good. i did study my butt off. did horrible on the first 3 test d, c, c but after that, knowing how much you have to study, you could do it.

Did a lot of memorizing. Did pretty good after studying really hard and going to si. If you want a good grade, you really gotta know almost everything. Really hard.

prof. thai is actually very helpful and will explain things you dont understand in details if u ask. memorize all her lecture notes, study everyday and you'll do just fine. tons of information to remember! definitely not a class for lazy students!

Do NOT take this class with any other science class. Do NOT take this class with more than one other easy class. Do Not take this class if you have to work a lot. I got an A in Anatomy/Physo and an A in Chemistry but am struggling to get a C in this class!11 Fs after first test! Test are brutally hard. Study lecture notes only. Try another Prof.

The people who commented on Thai must not have put much effort in to studying. For Thai's class she just asks you to study hard. get involved and take part in the class. I found it pretty easy but only because I studied. If you study this class is a sure A.

Prof. Thai is a good teacher. Dont need the book at all, just study off her notes. Make sure you study at least everyday or every other day and you will get a good grade.

i attended Dr. Thai's Anatomy class spring 2010. SHE IS VERY FVCKING CLEAR WITH HER STUFFS. She knows everything LITERALLY.hahaha anyway yeah so THE BOOK IS NOT NEEDED! JUST MEMORIZE and understand the damn outlines! she scared us with MUSCLES but i ACED it. lolif u can memorize a song lyrics then there shouldnt be any problem

Just study! this class is not hard. How does she not have any peppers on here yet!? Well let me be the first ;)

LOVE HER! her class is hard, but if you study hard, it should be easy to get an A off of her. her tests are very straightforward and she does not use trick questions, but she expects you to know EVERYTHING from her lecture. i'd take her for micro!

hard class.do your best and u r gonna be really fine . im 100% satisfied.

she is awsome!me and my sister enjoyed alot studying bio in her class. she is orgenized.her lectures are clear .if u ask many times she will again explain.love her method if u just study her lecture notes you are gonna answer100% of question.just study hard because the subject is hard.study everyday u r gonna be fine.she is helpful.like her alot.

AWESOME. KNOWLEDGEABLE. HELPFUL. I think the people who wrote a bad review for this teacher didnt study. It is college and it is a higher biology class, you expect it to be very challenging. Her lectures are very clear, you don't need the book and her tests are straightforward. Study, study, and study! I enjoyed her class. WILL RECOMMEND!:)

If you really want to learn, take her but be willing to do the work. Sutdy her lectures and you should be fine. Attend SI sessions and do not miss a class, it will help you in the end. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER.

The previous comments: this is a hard class and you're in college, do not expect her to treat you like HS kids. Hard work and willingness to learn- that's the key. We are lucky to have her at GCC!

Best teacher I've ever had! Knowledgeable, patient, and straightforward. Grading is fair. This is not an easy an easy A. If you consistently study and ask her questions, you shouldn't have a problem. She's one of the very few professors who can actually teach a science course in a fun way. Thumbs up for Thai!

Professor Thai is a great asset to GCC. She lectures enthusiastically and really understands the material. She will take the time to explain everything outside of class. The course is very difficult, but the exams are fair and are taken entirely from the Blackboard lecture notes. Just be prepared to invest several hours per day studying!

YOU HAVE TO WORK HARD. Very helpful teacher. :) Class is hard but A is achievable. Attend SI sessions and do not miss a class/lab. Ask questions and have her check your essays. Always be prepared and stay on top of the sched. Good luck!

The best teacher. YOU HAVE TO SUTDY. Exams are straight from her lectures, no tricks. Study every week and ask questions. Very helpful. Attend SI sessions. She drops your lowest midterm great. She is actually very caring and plays no favorites. Will take her again and totally recommend her. Very educated. GO BRUINS!

I had Dr. Thai for both Microbio (grade: C) and Anatomy (grade: B). I got a C in Micro b/c I took my science pre-reqs out of sequence. Big mistake! :) Dr. Thai is thorough, the most organized professor I've been taught by, and caring. You MUST study and you MUST show up. She's hard, and expects a lot, but she's very fair.

Oh MY GOD... She is a GREAT professor, very helpful, very organized, very fair, very knowledgeable. I took her for summer and enjoyed each second being in her lab. THANK YOU DR THAI for an enjoyable summer. You are one of the BEST I met in GCC.

Dr. Thai was fantastic!! Micro is extremely difficult and very involved. People who rated her so poorly obviously did not have the right expectations going in to such a difficult class! I left LOVING micro!

Great teacher. Very straightforward tests. Tests are all formats possible- multiple choice, definitions, short answers, essays. BUT she isn't tricky at all! Definitely easier than Beeman for physio:) Still you have to study hard and spend a lot of time on studying. Don't bother to buy the textbook- she posts ppt slides and studyguide on the Moodle

Dr. Thai is an AMAZING teacher. She is not hard at all. You just need to study her lecture notes. If she tells u to focus on something then most likely its gonna be on the test. She doesn't use tricks at all. Her tests are very straightforward.. U will leave this class learning a lot from her.. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!!!!

Best teacher at GCC, one of the hardest class on campus. if you are a student who dose not like to study, this class is not for you. you need to study a minimum of 4 hours a day to pull of a B, 5+ hours a day for an A. she teaches very well and makes you understand everything. she supplies students with perfect notes. that's all you need to pass.

Dr. Thai is so dedicated to her students. She will show up on Saturdays/sundays so we can study a bit longer. She offers Extra credit each test & some for attendance/SI. We had 6 tests & optional cumulative final to boost your grade. Test can be tricky, especially MC. study hard & understand material and you can pass the class easily. Great choice

Dr. thai is by far the best teacher ive had. she loves science and cares about her students.a student just need to prioritize studying and school and discipline when comes to studying. Anatomy is hard everything in life is hard you just have to prioritize what is really important to you.

AMAZING TEACHER! I am obsessed with Dr.Thai, her knowledge is so powerful. She is always there to help you understand something. Yes the class is SUPER intimidating, its COLLEGE HELLO but there is no teacher such as Dr.Thai. she even made videos available for the models and extends her office hours if ever needed. Can't wait to take micro with her.

She is very nice and helpful!

Highly recommend Dr. Thai to anyone who wishes to be fully prepared for majors in healthcare, i.e., Nursing majors. If you do not take her class, simply because you've heard students say she's challenging, then choose another major. She's an excellent professor because she is a natural at teaching and she truly cares about helping students succeed.

Nice and great professor but her exams are brutal. Too much short answers and essay question. Won't be concise on what will be on the exams half the time. Study guides are useless. Multiple choices in exams are tricky half of the time as well. If you get a D, F, or even a C on the 1st exam drop the class. It gets harder from thereon.

Extraordinarily picky on how you answer her questions, and her tests are insane. I took this along with Physio and was able to pull out with almost an A in this class and a B in physio, so it's definitely possible- just be ready to put in the hours and do not let yourself fall behind. Heavy on memorizing and concepts, does require nightly studying!

Dr. Thai is an amazing professor! She is intelligent and inspirational when she talks about her passion for science. Her class is intimidating but will definitely make you strive to be the best student that you can be. She is organized, caring, and just adorable. YOU WILL LEARN! Just put in the work, and you will get the grade you deserve.

Microbiology is a difficult class. Dr. Thai's class is even more so. This course is not designed specifically for nursing majors but rather more so for pre-pharmacy and pre-PA students, so many students who lack a background in general biology and chemistry have to work harder, and sometimes even learn how to really study.

I loved Prof. Thai. She is organized and gives clear instructions. Her grading is fair. She is very picky on how you answer her questions, but the good thing is that she mentions EVERYTHING in lecture that will be on the exam (book is useless). She gives extra credit for attendance in lecture and on exams. Exams are long, but doable.

Dr. Thai is certainly a tough grader, but I've never learned so much from a Professor. She's very meticulous, but as long as you keep up in the class and attend office hours, she is more than willing to help you succeed. Her lectures are interesting and detail oriented, but because of that, the information sticks with you. I loved her class!

Everything you need to know to pass the tests are in her PowerPoint. Learn the powerpoints inside out and you should be good. I didn't use the textbook at all. This class was a lot of work but Professor thai responds quickly and answers questions in a clear manner.

Dr. Thai is an amazing professor. She loves biology and teaching. Her class will challenge you and you will learn so much. I love her enthusiasm and willingness to help out however she can. 100% recommend taking her class if you love biology!

I was so nervous going into this class due to ratings on her, especially taking it with calculus and chemistry. If you dedicate your time into this class, you will succeed. MAKE QUIZLETS. I would make 150+ term quizlets for each chapter and I truly think this helped me succeed. Do not procrastinate and use the lectures!!! She is so so amazing.

If you're taking biology just to get it done and you don't need it in your career, then take someone easier. If you're going to be a biologist, Doctor (AKA need MCAT or DAT) or anything that requires good knowledge of bio, you must take her. She is genuinely elite. I took this w/ Ochem, got an A in both. Don't listen to the loser business majors.

Dr. Thai is one of the best professors at GCC. She is always willing to help and is very caring. She does an awesome job explaining the material and the 4 exams are based on her lecture slides. She is a tough grader and very detail-oriented, but you should be perfectly fine if you study well. Definitely recommend if it is your major class.

Dr.Thai is so so amazing! If you really want to learn bio you won't regret taking her. She likes things explained in a certain way with lots of detail and she is always willing to help you fix your mistakes. Her expectations for exams are very clear and she prepares you well and explains everything in detail. If you study well it's very doable.
