I think she's great! I am taking her class and she is so well prepared and knowledgable! She really cares whether we understand the material or not&she even hands out anonymous slips so we can anonymously let her know if we want her to go over anything next class. Decently hard quizzes but she's just trying to prep for the final. I would Recommend

Weissy is a great teacher and was very helpful. The class material was easy to understand, and the weekly quiz was cake. I do find that the class was too easy and I felt like I was not challenged enough. However it has probably something to do with the course manual displaying all the answers along with the materials needed to study.

Dr. Lee is a great prof to take! She is super helpful and responds quickly to emails. Her lectures are also very easy to follow as she structures them into fill-in-the-blank notes rather than slides. The notes have exactly the same things that are on her quizzes/exams. Overall, she is a very good professor and I would definitely take her again!

Nothing negative to say about Dr.Weissy. I wish I could have her as my professor for all classes. Weissy will reply to emails within minutes (if you email at a reasonable time) She's so helpful during her office hours; also uses a lot of analogies to help relate topics. Notes are amazing and easy to follow. TAKE HER CLASSES!

She's a nice person but her lectures were super boring. It's a fill in the blank and sometimes her reviews for the midterms aren't that helpful. She is very picky and will only give you the mark on tests if you write it her way. Can be tough in labs, not a very friendly vibe. Overall, she knows her stuff

Took 1210 with her. I was at 100% on all quizzes and extra worksheets that had to be done but when it came to the midterm and final suddenly none of what she had taught was on there. Random things in lecture she dismissed as a side note were main questions on exams. Very sweet but I wouldn't know how to study for her exams. In class is easy through

Tests are based on material in the lecture notes, she posts them online in case you miss a class. She marks faster than any other professor or TA with clear grading criteria added to each problem set/quiz and gives bonus marks. Biochemistry is a dense course but she gives you lots of practice to get good at it.

This course has lots of material to cover that can be complex. Lectures can be tedious but worth attending. Bonus marks available for assignments. Put in the work and you'll be successful in her class.

Weissey is very organized and good. Will reply emails asap and genuinely wants to do students to good also I like how she does her lecture notes. Only down fall about this course is the lab is stressful. if you study her notes you'll be do good in the course though.

Weissy was incredible and really tried to make the class feel fun. Her marking was completely fair and she ensured we knew what could be on the final. The labs were very fun and have been the most interesting among the Nursing bio prereqs. I recommend her!

The instructor's most common responses are ‘deduction' or ‘dismissal.' Effort is ignored, while even small mistakes lead to punishment. This minus-thinking approach creates a hostile learning environment, discourages students, and negatively affects mental health. Rules matter, but students deserve guidance, not just penalties.

If you need to take Microbiology this is the professor you want. She is so organized, her notes are very straight to the point covering exactly what you are expected to know for exams and quizzes. She really knows her stuff and is able to really explain it simply for the student so we know exactly what is required for the exam. Highly recommend her

Awesome prof-makes course material easy to understand, clear grading criteria, & zero surprises on exams. Super organized. There are lots of assignments, but if you attend lecture it is very straight forward. What gets covered in class will 100% be on tests/exams-so memorization heavy but Weissy makes content management. 10/10 would recommend !
