Thanh Thuy Bui, MD. Is a young teacher but has great knowledge. She has structure lacks organization. The best part was that she has X-credit and can be flexible in terms of testing material. She can be hard if you do not read the book, because she does not go completely by the study guide. Take her if your are serious about studying. GOOD LUCK :)

Really tough, makes the course as hard as possible. Homework on stuff she hasn't lectured on yet, takes points every silly thing she can, complete nightmare. Get ready to study 4-5 hrs a day and still scrape up for a B or C. No extra credit!

My biggest regret was taking this professor. Her lectures are very inconsistent with the exams. Tests on topics that she does not even cover at all in her lectures and really goes out of her way to be tricky in her exams. She does not explain things throughly when you are confused so I cannot rely on her.

Microbiology is a 5 unit class so you know that it has a lot of material to cover. Bui does her best to explain the topic and gives you a fill in lecture notes. However these notes are not enough for the lecture exams but they are good for the lecture quizzes. You have lab prequizzes almost every class prior to lab. She is fair but topic tough

My biggest regret in life was having this professor. She is a nice woman but a terrible instructor. She begs for questions & then gets mad at students who ask them. Our entire class was failing yet she sees no issue with her teaching at all. 6 ch's were in the final. We began and ended the lecture a week prior to the final. A quiz or test everyday.

She gives out lecture notes for each chapter which her quizzes are based on fairly easy if you study them. Her lecture exams are very tricky! So read the book bc sometimes questions are not in her lecture guides. Easy homework/lab assignments which are pretty much exactly what you will see in lab exams.

One of the BEST Profs I have ever taken & I got my BS degree from UCD. Took Ant33 with her too & got an A. Don't listen to people who say she's hard. Gives lecture packet & goes over before exams, tells you which part will be M/C, T/F, short answer, matching. Lecture/Quiz straight from packet. A/B with studying. Brings donuts on final!

Anatomy is a hard subject so it is expected to read over your notes vigourously if you want to succeed.

The lecture notes are detailed, and the quizzes and tests are mostly on the notes. Its a good idea to have the textbook to read through too. Its Microbiology... so tests are difficult, labs are lengthy, and you have to study to pass the class. But Professor Bui does everything to help you with that. Go to class. Study. Read the book.

She provides you with notes you print out and fill in during class time, they contain very helpful picture and graphs. Also, everything that's going to be on the test is straight from the notes, it's a lot of work to study all of it but you'll see the best results.

4 lecture exams & 2 lab practicums, very difficult if you don't study. Lab quizzes almost daily, but they're easy if you read it ahead of time. Never leave any answers blank, she tries to give you points if you try. Left class early an hour every time, if your group finishes the lab. She keeps lectures concise!

It is true she gives packets for note talking for each section, then lectures and tests from those packets. However, there is a huge amount of material to learn with limited time to learn it. She hates repeating herself and yells at students for not understanding concepts or giving the wrong answers. Only about 1/3 of class did not drop by the end.
