she is not good...

she isnt very hard..but the way she teaches stink ...she cant teach... i wonder how she could still be in CC when her class is alway so small

One word--irresponsible. She does not prepare for her classes and therefor is broring and unclear. Her tests are poorly written, and since she does not cover the material, read the text or exmplain her expectations, they are also difficult. If you care about learning you'll be frustrated. Avoid.

She is never on time or prepared for class. Her exams are unclear and it is impossible for someone to get a perfect score on any of her assignments. It isn't explained to students what she is expecting of them.

Do not take her if you are not very good in biology. She has a very bad accent, and she is not very approachable. She looks at you ackwardly when you ask questions. Furthermore, she gives you a hard time when you have to make up an exam (at least in my case). Her tests are difficult and unclear.

HORRIBLE,HORRIBLE,HORRIBLE..... DO NOT TAKE WHETHER YOU ENJOY BIOLOGY OR NOT. HER TEACHING METHODS ARE AWFUL. VERY DISORGANIZED AND DOES NOT EXEMPLIFY ANY PASSION FOR HER STUDENTS NOR THEIR SUCCESS IN THE CLASS.

You will have difficulty understanding her, Her English is pretty bad. Test questions are confusing, will answer class room questions by saying "I already went over that, I am not going to tell you again". Does not belong in the teaching profession.

SHE IS NOT A GOOD PROFESSOR AT ALL.

DON'T DO IT!!!!

SHE IS NOT CLEAR IN THE LECTURE OR LAB COMPONENT OF THE COURSE. IF YOU ASK HER A QUESTION, SHE FROWNS. SHE MAKES YOU WANT TO DISLIKE BIOLOGY ALL TOGETHER.

this teacher sucks....she never tells us what to study for she just hands us a study guide... her labs dont have anything to do with the lab quizzes she gives us. When we asked her what we needed to do to help get our grades up, she just looked at us and didnt say anything but do the extra credit. Very poor instructor!

Wow. This is not Harvard university. This is cypress community college. Never get the lab. I have asked her questions a couple of times and she tells me to look at the book, which does not explain what I want. Test based on extremely detailed info from book. Very nice lady, but has a hard time outlining a clear and understandable theme for micro.

This is the worst teacher ever. Her study guides are a waste of time. When I asked her what to focus on for her tests she told me that the study guide would tell me what to focus on and guess what its the all of the chapters, so why give a study guide all she needs to say is know the whole book. I would not recommend this teacher. RUN NOT HELPFUL

she sucked. her tests were hard and her class was boring. her accent was pretty bad, and to make matters worse, her writing sucked too. so half the time you couldnt understand what she was saying, and then couldnt copy what she wrote cuz you couldnt read her writing! i really DO NOT recommend this teacher. unless you like failing.

Sue, nice, but horrible teacher.I have never in my experience had a teacher yell at students when asking for help.Having a hard class with and endless amount of work is expected in a college course, but to have a professor leave for periods on end while you wait her instructions as well as her disorganization and unpreparedness is unexcusable.

She unethical, unprofessional, has no idea of what teaching is, do not take this class with her if you want to succeed and enter to nursing or any other program. She is ridiculous when grading exams, if you miss a word from a definition she doesn't give you any credit. She wants you to know word by word from the textbook.

Obviously she doesn't know what the main purpose of education is. She gets mad if you ask her for help, she is not clear when she gives definitions and she expects students to know everything.DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS WITH HER!!!!

HORRIBLE PROFESSOR. NOT HELPFUL AND extremely tough in her grading; no curve or EC. I read up about the negative comments about her and decided to try her against people's warnings. I'm a straight A student. She is one of the most horrible professors I've ever had. All her tests are 100 questions. The tests are 100 points each. WTF? its not easy.

She like to act like she is incredibly smart but to me she is just making a fool out of herself. Very rude and after having her this semester I realized she doesnt have a heart. She is a very bias person, I saw her giving an opportunity to this specific student 2take the oral quiz several times and not to the other. The subject is not hard; she is

careless!! mean.. not professional.. its true its a hard class mr layer ( to the person whos defending her).. but she doesnt even know the material. I got an A becuz i studied on my own and never depended on her lecture notes! I never understood her anyway!since this class is nt easy, she needs to be fired and hire a professional instructor instead

worst ever!!! doesnt care about students.. heartless,,, take it with some1 else thats my advise!!

If you do not work your butt off you will not pass this class. If you do work your butt off you are not guaranteed an A. Attendance is not mandatory, but if you miss you'll get behind and play catch up the rest of the semester. She has a heavy accent and is hard to understand. Record her lectures, study her "chap objectives" and go to SI. Good Luck

JUST DON'T TAKE HER. DON'T ASK QUESTION, SHE'LL MAKE YOU FEEL STUPID. Read everything TWICE!!!

knows the subject very well but cannot teach. The labs r difficult but the test r even more difficult. She doesnt follow the sequence of the book but rather skips chapters. Sometimes contradicts the book so ONLY base ur test answers on her notes/lectures. Horrible teacher but interesting subject. take someone else or somewhere else.

May be very knowledgable, but sucks at teaching. I can hardly understand what she says in lectures. Makes you feel stupid if you ask a question. Passing the class is doable. But make sure this is the only class you take at a time. SOme people say SI is helpful. But if you have other classes to attend, and can't go, then you're screwed.

Her classes are so confusing that in fact only a hand full of her students are passing. When you try to ask her a question she regurgitates what she said in lecture instead of trying to clear things up. Overall I can not suggest this class to anyone.

She is a good person but NEVER TAKE HER IN THE SUMMER!!! She will make you stay longer after class and she will leave the lab class early even if your still there. She doesn't stay long enough after lab for you to to get all the information you need. If you have an issue with her, she will make you feel stupid for telling her. Good Luck!

She is a very nice person but also extremely condescending. Test questions are often unclear and she will not clarify when asked. Credit will be taken off if it is not an example given in class and arguing will get you nowhere. Points will taken off for every minor mistake including not explaining common sense details. A very disappointing class.

Very difficult class and professor. Very picky on essay questions. However, if no choice and you take her please make sure go to SI.

Teacher is a hard grader. She will deduct as much points as she can if you are not specific in spelling and "detail". SI is a must for this class if you do ending up taking this professor. She doesn't teach everything you need to take time out to self study at least 6-9 hours a week if you plan on passing.

Her tests are really heavy. If you can't be specific on writing portions, get ready to fail the test. If you misspell, forget small things like punctuation, and stuff..... YOU WILL EITHER GET A ZERO OR A HALF POINT on those. Very limited time for tests also. Make sure to practice your writing portion section, go to SI, Studying comes priority.

Get ready for hardcore reading and going to SI is a must if you want to pass. More than half the class dropped the class and received a W. Good luck, guys.

If you have available option to pick another professor, might consider doing so. Has high expectations when grading the exam on free response. You must go to Si for help and read whenever you have time possibly. If you miss a lab or 2, youll be automatically drop from the course. Drop the lowest quiz grade. Does not curve !

Not sure why she expects so much from you. Whenever you ask her a question, she makes you feel dumb and doesn't really help. For the written portions of the quizzes and tests, she wants you to be SPECIFIC and will drop half a point or not give any points at all if you're not. Almost more than half the class dropped with a W.

Pretty much youll be teaching yourself throughout the course. She doesnt go over everything from the chapter. Be precise on the quiz and exam or your Grade will be mark off. Her essay question requires about a chunk of paragraphs, theres about 10. Do well on the multiple choice !!! Make friends to exchange NOTES! Go to SI FOR HeLP!!

heavy accent that is hard to keep your thoughts on track. Reads over powerpoint and doesn't explain anything, she sounds a pro but she's in fact the worst professor i've ever taken. her tests are Indian type tests and has nothing from her lectures or labs. Just take this class at another college or you'll end up failing or withdrawing. Avoid!!!

Dont take her!!!! I had to take her since she was the only teacher left with classes open. She was 30-40 minutes late each day which got very annoying. Also she makes you self teach yourself a lot of material. She will dock you for every point possible. I have never experienced a teacher like her. Very unprofessional and doesnt want to give As

The absolute worse! Every day she was late for class and would rush through lectures because SHE was late. When you ask questions she makes you feel dumb. Micro is a self study class which is known but so she makes her exams based off her lectures and her accent is so thick and such a huge barrier. Avoid this teacher if you can! SAVE YOURSELF !

This was a COVID semester- so my class experience could be affected based off of that. The professor would forget to send us emails and then doc us points, and she also would skip through material and say they were, "self study," or she would skip slides and say to study on our own. Textbook required but she's unorganized so planning is hard.

She is awful. She should be fired. She is not there for her students. The SI leader is a better teacher than she ever will be. Honestly, Im shook as to the poor expectations cypress college has for their faculty. Please boycott this woman. If you want someone to make you feel as though you ask dumb questions and youre not worth the time take her.

Dont take this class unless its a last resort. The lectures are awful and she goes on random tangents. Shes extremely disrespectful to students. She doesnt give you all the information you need for the test and the class is basically dependent on the tests. If you have her go to SI and tutoring, and read the book. Worst professor Ive ever had!

First off, she is always late to lecture when she is lecturing from home. Her instructions are unclear and swears she is making herself clear. She makes things more difficult than they need to be. Her class points are based onquizzes, tests, and one unknown culture project. She says she understands that online is difficult, but makes her class hard

If she's your last option, don't take her. You are better off waiting a semester than taking her class, because her class is extremely hard. She goes over lecture time all the time and makes thing way more difficult than they need to be. If this is your only class, then you should be fine, but go to study sessions, because those will help a lot.

I have never taken a prof. like this. She is not clear on her short answer grading on exams where you can loose a lot of points due to her expectations being unclear. Does not like when you try and discuss your grade on exams/quizzes. You will need SI/tutor to help pass the class or get a decent grade. I would suggest a different prof is possible.

Horrible Professor! She doesnt care about her students and always talks about herself during lecture. She doesnt explain any of the topics clearly, and she makes everything 10x more difficult. Her lectures are tough to flow and you basically have to teach yourself the material. Worst science professor I've ever had. Dont ever take her class!

Im an A student, but this was hands down the hardest class Ive ever taken! The majority of the course I was teaching myself. Prof requires so much info yet skips over topics in her lecture recordings, which are very unorganized. Nothing is graded besides exams, quizzes, & a project. And no homework to help you review. I ended up withdrawing.

Professor Chiplunkar has been the most difficult class I've taken at Cypress due to the lack of structure in her lectures. She has a bad tendency to go on tangents about a certain subject on a slide which had very little connection to learning the material. If I didn't go to SI sessions, I would have probably failed the class.

If you need to take this class, take it with another professor! Or at a diff. college!. It has been the worst experience. She cared less of her students. She does not explain. Her test are multiple choice, writing definitions, fill-in, more than 95q. You will barely finish on time. She does lab before the test. She does NOT make accommodations.

Prof. Chiplunkar only grades exams, quizzes, and unknown culture assignment. A majority of the class is failing. Exams are over 100 questions with 80 multiple choices, 15 fill in the blanks, and 5 short answer questions, which she will give you 0 points for if you are slightly off. The only real lecture provided is through the videos. SI is needed.

Horrible teacher. We started off with 30 people in our class and we ended up with people in our class. No one in the class had anything above a C. Very disorganized. Rushes through labs and skips overt material through lecture videos.

Do not take this Professor ! Your better off waiting another semester especially if you are a nursing major. She docs you for everything spelling included, not being specific on answers, legible writing. Her exams are at least 115 questions.Rushes through material during class. Be prepared to attend Si tutoring if your plan to take this class.

By far the WORST professor I have ever taken in my entire college career. She was unfair and disrespectful towards me because of a faulty microscope. Class grade average was a F. Marked off points for the smallest things on exams/quizzes. In fact, my advisor told me that she needed to be reported. She's THAT BAD. DO NOT TAKE HER for your own good..

This professor doesn't care if you pass or not. She is extremely condescending. She doesn't take responsibility for her mistakes. She is a harsh grader and is too lazy to cover all the material so you are responsible to refer to other sources outside of her lecture.There were 10 students with an F in her class so you are better off not taking her.

If possible, do not take this professor. Her grading and tests are awful. Not very approachable either which feels like you're on your own. I'm not the kind of student to complain since I understand its a hard class, but her teaching methods were by far the worst I've seen. I highly recommend taking a different professor for this class.

Grading of exams was extremely harsh specifically with the free-written questions, minor missing information on questions was automatically marked as incorrect. Lectures weren't very clear + study guides provided weren't helpful at all. Be prepared to do alot of self study if you want to pass, most students averaged around C/D and many withdrew.

Took her because she was sadly the only teacher with seats available. I can see why. Her teaching methods were not so great, I had to drop from this class. I highly recommend not to register with her.
