Dr. Luo cares about her students. For my class she opened the lab before every practical, reviewed slides, models, etc... Impressively, Dr. Luo has earned two doctorates and has practiced medicine in China. She's sweet and is a lot of fun.
Nice lady. Very sweet. Easier to understand than most Chinese, but still a bit of a language barrier. It's not too bad, though.
probably the best biology teacher , she makes sure her students understand her every explaination.makes studying easier by narrowing to the essentials.she got a beautiful smile.

I found her very hard to understand even after two semesters with her. I felt like she made the course so much harder than it had to be and was not very helpful at explaining things on her students level.
While taking her first a&p class i noticed learning from her lectures is easier than reading the textbook itself. She makes things easy to learn even though it is ALOT of information to inhale. Take her class i believe she is the best to take in the whole bio dept.
Good teacher, very smart, slight language barrier, but I had no problem following along. Made A's in both classes, but worked hard for them!
Anyone who says this women is not a good a teacher must not be a good/deserving student. This women is the best teacher ever! She is so caring and dedicated to her students. She has an ease and a talant for explaining the most difficult of ideas so you can easily understand and make sense of them.
If you are interested in learning, this is definately the teacher to take. I wrote a paper in another class on something she taught and two students in my group said that they were never taught that. Yet they had the same class just a different teacher. If you take this class you will learn. She will go over the information until you learn it!
Dr. Luo has been the best professor I have had in 3 yrs of college. She gives more resources than any other teacher and takes extra time to review all the material prior to exams. Dr. Luo spends all of her time to make sure you have the tools you need to exceed. A&P is NOT an Easy A class with any teacher, but she makes it easier b/c she loves it.
She is really good, probably the best teacher around campus... it's hard to understand her at first but you'll get her by the 2nd week... she knows a lot about what she's teaching and she'll make sure you get it... her reviews are really helpfull... so if you have a chance take her class... I got A's in all three classes i had her
Very interesting A&P II class -- goes over everything you need to know 2-3 times. If you review the notes and learn from labs and quizes you will do well. I will take her for BIOL 2421.
She is the best teacher I have had so far. I really enjoyed this class with her. I never felt bored in her class.
the best teacher i ever had. I gained my knowledge from her 2 classes A&P. She always makes sure students understand clearly both lecture and lab.
she has a very clear way of teaching.. great learning environement.
ohh.. I wish she would be my professor for all the biology courses. She is very thorough.. precise and has answers to your every questions.. Her tests are not easy but be attentive in class and Lab and make it a point to go for her review sessions..
She is the best professor that I have ever had. She is knowledgable, helpful, kind, considerate. What else you want. You try she will help you to climb the montain. She will make you understand Anatomy subject wise as well as clinical. You will enjoy her class and at the end of the semester you will be equiped with knowledge to work in the med
She doesnt know how to teach things that are in the book...she makes up things that she has done or learned over the years and expects us to read her mind when taking her test.
greatest A&p teacher
this teacher is so nice, humble and very very intelligent. if you are the kind of of student who just want to pass, don't take her. however if you want to learn, do yourself a favor and take her!!!! i love her and i'm taking her for a&p 2. Coz i made a A
Dr. Luo is the best! If you want to pass you need to be there! Be prepared to write! Write down everything that she puts on the board...she tests right off her lectures. If she draws a diagram KNOW IT! Don't bother buying the latest book as any A&P book will do. Lab manual is ok for study but not needed. Easy to get A if you study lecture notes.
The best teacher I ever had in college. Very intelligent, humble and she is always ready to help her students. Study her notes and you will make an A in this class. She repeats important concepts to make sure you get it. If you want to learn the material and pass it, you won't go wrong with her.
Dr. Luo is a great professor. She is intelligent and very helpful. The interest level of our class was high. I have learned so much from her class.
Dr. Luo has a VERY thick chinese accent and it was so hard for me to understand what she was saying. She doesnt explain things well and I ended up failing because of this. NEVER used the book, test are from her incomprehensible lectures. Labs are 2 hrs long and she takes forever to start the lab. Do yourself a favor and PICK ANOTHER TEACHER!!
I trusted these comments and took her class. I have to drop the class to save my GPA. Do not trust these comments.
She is one of the BEST BEST teachers I ever have in my college years because she only wants you to learn the important stuff. She does not require you to know all junkz like other teachers do. I really liked her teaching style. U GOTTA TAKE HER.
Amazing prof and person - very good lecturer, she has a talent to teach and you really do learn just from her lecturing. She repeats and stresses the important concepts. Yes, she does have an accent but it's not difficult to understand her. She is very helpful and concerned about everyone succeeding.
She taught me 2 years ago, but I still come here to vote for her now. All you need is going on her class and take note. Her exam is consolidated in her notes only. She has a Medical Doctor degree and know very well about Physiology, Anatomy, and Microbiology. Study with her and if you can't get As, it's your fault, not hers, guys. Cheers.
Will only take Biology courses with her. Best micro/a&p professor at Richland. All you need to study is what she writes on the board. She has prequizzes that she will add to the exam. Very easy to get a B, work a little harder and you will most definately get an A. Not a blow off class, but will appreciate what you actually remembered in her class.
i took A/p 1 and 2 with her and also micro...she is an amazing teacher. it is not gona be an easy A but B is easily possible, i never attended lectures for AnP 1 ended up with a B but attended all the lectures for AnP 2 and ended up with almost a perfect grade. take her it will be an awesome experience.
A privilege to have prof. Luo as a teacher! Try to pre-register her classes fill up very fast.
this teacher is so nice, humble and very very intelligent. if you are the kind of of student who just want to pass, don't take her. however if you want to learn, do yourself a favor and take her!!!! i love her and i'm taking her for a&p 2. Coz i made a A Flag this rating
She is the best professor that I have ever had in my entirelife. She is knowledgable, helpful, kind,and also hamble. i took a&p 1 and 2 with her and i ended with A. i wish she is my professor in the nursing program too.
She IS a nice lady, not very easy to understand. It took me a while to get use to her lingo. My BIGGEST barrier was that she went EXTREMELY fast as well as difficult to understand. It was very hard to listen and take notes, so it was very hard to keep up. If you like things to marinate a little, she is not the teacher for you.
I'm telling you now,if you take this professor you will not stop registering for her class. Best Micro/A&P proff out there that i know. She is an inspiration to the profession and very organized in what you need to study. Not easy class but will get more than what you pay for.Ask her anything, she will have an answer, she has a Medical doctor deg.
Dr.Luo is a great professor and very knowlegable for all Biology class that I took. Very nice,so hummble and very respectful professor.I recomend you to take Bio,1407,2401/2 and Micro.Love this professor
The best teacher I ever had in my life. I highly recommend her. Take her. I took A&P 1,2 and Micro with her and I made all A. She is very clear, very helpful and she cares about her students.Do not buy book only the lab one.Love, love Dr.Lou.I wish she would teach some nursing classes. Register early because her class get full fast.
very nice teacher explains very well! 3 practicals & 4 exams(includin final. shows/explains models in lab, answers an questions, she is very informative! altho there is no extra credit (except lab duty) if u actually study her notes, the models, videos(if u take any)- her class will be a breeze!! made A :)
Micro is an extremely hard course, and Dr. Lou’s lectures do not match up with her tests at all. She is a very sweet lady, and a great teacher, but her accent is definitely makes it even hard to understand the material. BTW. don't buy the book because you will not need it.
The class started with 25 people and ended with only 14. I believe that only 3 people made an A. I think that says it all.
I decided to take Luo for bio 2402, but it was not the same. she did not explain any of the models, test/lab reviews were not too informative, & i guess i expected more. she teaches great and is great teacher very nice and funny, but maybe does not help students as much in bio 2402! not too much extra credit and use of book(s) very low.
SHes is great took for anp 1 and 2 don't buy the text her notes are very detailed you won't even need it just buy the lab manuel dosent have to be a new one just a used old one that you could use as a reference for the practicals study your notes and ask ??? In her office you will make an A!!
Worse teacher I ever ha donot take any class with her.her teaching and her note dose not match.I did not have chose to take her class because they sent her in middle of semester to our class.if you have chose don't take it with here.
Very good professor she saved our class after two teacher quit our class she step up and help use to catch up with other class.
She is a best science professor at Richland very educated.
She is a great professor.Made A+ in her glass best teacher I have ever had.4
She is the best A&P professor in Richland.
Dr. Luo is a very sweet, the only problem is that her English is just terrible. She says that since English is not her major she doesn't need to learn the language. Needless to say I strongly disagree. If you want to teach in the United states then you need to speak English! Her tests are also very hard, and I would NOT recommend her.
Sweet professor but definitely felt that i didn't learn much. I love anatomy, but I would have rather taken this course with a professor that actually teaches instead of just giving you information and making you memorize it. She is very knowledgeable but personally i didn't like her teaching style.
I took her for micro and A&P 2 I love the way she teaches her notes are very thorough obviously this is a hard class if you put the time to read and study you will make an A if you follow her notes 85% of it is on the test , i made a b in her micro aiming for an A currently with her A&P 2 despite her accent she is probably the best science teacher
I would recommend her to anybody that needs to take a&p. I took her for a&p1 and a&p2. I plan on taking her for microbiology as well. You need to attend class. If you do not you will miss a LOT! She goes over some questions that are on your exam and explains them. If you plan on making an A you need to know the information well even backwards.
Take her!!!
She is the best professor i ever had. I took AP 1 and 2 with her. I made an "A"Her lectur is clear and she make sure everyone feel comfortable about it. If any one want to understand A P, i suggest you take her. Make sure you atende class and take note when she lectur. Pay attention for what she is saying. Im sure you will get good grade.
Dr. Luo has a very different teaching style from other professors. She always uses her own note including lecture and lab. That being said, you must attend every class day in order to earn an A grade and understand the material. She does repeat what she teaches so that the students will remember it more deeply. She has strong medical experiences.
Dr. Ye Luo is an amazing professor! Anyone who wants to go into the health field should most definitely take her! Her lectures are AMAZING and you learn! Her class isn't the easiest class, but what Micro & A&P class is? Attending class, paying attention, and studying hard will pay off! I recommend her for Microbiology and A&P 1&2!
Dr. Luo is a great professor, she gives great lecture, she knows her stuffs, and especially, you can get an A without the text book. I only have one issue with her, and that's she's hard to talk to, I feel like she gets offended when people asking her questions, and she always make me feel horrible whenever I ask her any question.
Dr. Luo is an unique professor at Richland College because she uses her own notes to represent her lectures. That being said, you must be present in class and lab to understand the concepts as well as to get good grades. She is very approachable to talk to and ask about the medical field. I am looking forward to BIOL 2420 and 2402 with her.
You CANT miss class bc she makes her own exams from her lecture notes. She also has a strong accent, so she can be hard to understand. Only 2 lecture exams/2 practicals, so its alot of info you have to know for both. Doesn't give review for lecture exams. My last class to complete nursing prereqs & it was the hardest of them all. Wouldn't recommend
I'd recommend taking her. She hand writes her own notes, which I found helpful. Need to know every detail of the notes for the lecture exams, which she doesn't curve. Gives detailed practical reviews and explains the lab beforehand in lecture. Made an A, but you REALLY have to earn it. Micro isn't easy, but Dr. Luo makes the class somewhat bearable
The only major complaint I have is that she has a thick accent and a soft spoken voice, so it's incredibly hard to understand her sometimes. Other than that, she's a decent teacher. Tests are fairly hard, but homework, lab quizzes, and group projects are easy A's. Lab is fun and she gives detailed practical reviews.
I learned more in this class than I have in any other, but I would not take her again. She handwrites lecture notes, which is a very good teaching method. However, the tests are extremely difficult. There are 3 lecture exams, 3 practicals, a cumulative final and 8 homeworks - no extra credit. Use her quizzes online she takes test ? from them
Good notes. Clear expectations. Study .
Incredibly detailed lectures, you will not pass at all if you continuously miss lecture. Takes attendance in every lab. So sweet and makes herself available whenever you need. Tests are hard ngl, but its straight from her notes so if you study those you'll do well. Would've done better if i had. Super intelligent, would take again.
Dr. Luo is a perfect model professor of Biology! She truly wants you to learn from the class to apply it later in the medical field. Also, she herself opens to her students who want to seek for help. It is not difficult to make an A, but you yourself must make an effort and devote your time in her class. Dr. Luo is the best!
I love her class even her accent was so thick. Her tests are mostly from her notes, but test 3 in A&P2 was a totally pain. She thought that the class average was too high so she made that test 3 so hard with all the physiology questions. But i still love her. she respected by students and shes very polite and caring. I love her even i got a B
I LOVED her class seriously one of the best professors! Always willing to help and answer questions. Her lectures are phenomenal, the way she explains things is clear and straightforward. I am surprised how much I learned from her class. She only teaches relevant info you need to know, relates it to real world. AMAZING professor! Thank you Dr. Luo!
All I can say is that it was a pleasure to have Dr. Luo as my professor in Microbiology, and I wish I had taken her for Anatomy and Physiology as well. She is amazing! Her experience in the Medical field and her intelligence makes her one of the most competent professors in Richland. I highly recommend her. Clear lectures, great labs. I got my A!
Dr. Lou is one of the best teachers at Richland. I took her A&P I and it was intense but worth it. Make you write everything nice and neat. Take pictures in the lab and record her lectures in cause there is a topic you did not understand. Please, do not miss class!
She is one of the best professors I have taken at Richland. For those who said that her hand-witten notes are too much, just take the other class and compare. I must say that notes are much lesser than the class in AP1 I took, and I learned a lot more. She gave out all details that are important, and the only thing you need to do is study. Easy A.
Dr. Luo is an amazing Professor. I took her for Micro and it was pretty hard BUT just make sure you take notes and take pics in lab. Everything she tells you to highlight in lecture will most def be on the tests. You need to dedicate a lot of time to study as well. I am planning on taking her for A&P. She wont curve so stay on your toes!
Dr. Luo is hands down one of the best professors I've ever had. She's highly intelligent and such a sweetheart too. If you write your notes exactly as she writes hers and STUDY them, the tests will be manageable. Take pictures of all the models in lab and watch youtube videos on them for the practicals. I can't wait to take her for A&P2 in the fall
Okay , so Prof. Luo is a very nice lady. I just feel like the language barrier was a brick wall. As well as that , she didn't offer extra credit or anything like that. You must dedicate time to studying in class notes. Tests are ok with the notes. She was a sweet little lady, just really hard for me to understand. Take pics of everything .
I learned so much relevant information from Dr. Luo's class. Much of which I'm still using in my other upper elective biology courses. I wish she taught at UTD because I would definitely take her again if I could. Copy her notes word for word and memorize them. She also emphasizes what she's going to test over during lecture.
Prof Luo is very nice & will answer your questions. She will help you if you need help. Her accent is very thick. She tries to talk clear but she speaks very softly. She writes very small. So if you take her class & you have a hard time hearing or seeing, sit in the front. Her tests are hard. She does not give extra credit or second chances. Study!
Dr. Luo is the best professor I will ever have. I took her for A&P 1 and 2 and she taught me so much more than just the material - how to study, etc. She's also writing my college recommendations. She prepares you well for tests and tells you exactly what you need to study. Just pay attention and devote the time and you'll succeed.
I love Professor Luo. She is the best professor I have ever had. Took her for AP I &II, made an A both semesters. Not in easy class in general so just follow her notes and you will be good. She is super caring and wants to see you achieve. Sit close to her as she does have a thick accent and quiet voice but it takes no time to get used to it.
Dr Luo is a great professor! You will have to work hard and follow her exact instructions and you can easily make an A. She cares about what you learn and is always there to help you with anything you need. I have taken her for all biology. She is super sweet and adorable you will not regret taking her. She is my fave professor of all time.
Luo has been a great professor. Her lectures are important because she writes down everything you need to know to pass her class. That is why NOT skipping class lectures is a must. All her labs are also explained in class. Everything is step by step so as long as you listen to her in lecture, lab and study the notes, its an A for you.
Attend all her lectures and labs and write down her notes word for word. Study them and put in the effort and you will do fine. Do very well on the tests and practicals and you basically have yourself an A. She is very knowledgeable and sweet. She is one of my favorite professors, and I hope she will be one of yours as well.
This Professor made me fall in love with A&P. Cares so much about students understanding the materials. Pay attention carefully, ask questions and follow instructions. She is supportive and helpful. Highly recommend this Professor.
This class was extremely confusing on top of it being a hard subject. Maybe this professor is good in person but online, I wouldnt even bother. Exam questions are confusing. You have to memorize lab PowerPoints and lecture PowerPoints and even after that still understand what the exam question is asking. Long story short...I dropped this class.
Professor Lou is an excellent teacher. Her lectures were very clear and concise. Whatever was taught during the lectures would be on the tests; no surprises. I was one point away from making a B in her class but I think with Covid going and not being able to attend her lectures was my only down fall. She's also very kind.
Worst Professor ever especially for a online class. Do not take her class online Professor is horrible and do not care if you fail or pass.
Not a bad instructor, but it felt like I was in a pathophysiology class or something. She makes all her materials like videos and exams and powerpoints. You don't know where she is going to choose the information from on the powerpoint. Strongly suggest you print the slides in color or you will struggle, bc the pictures are on the exam!
I took this professors A&P2 course online last semester and it was an 8 week fast track course. The class was great! Professor Luo will give you exactly what you need to make an A . Would take again.
Very hard tests. She had online exams and you have to be on camera the whole time. the content can be found on her powerpoints but you need to give EXTRA time to study her powerpoints because they can be hard to navigate or make sense of. there was just wayy too much info in her powerpoints. do not take in winter cuz you will suffer.
currently taking her class and indeed its alot of reading and obtaining alot of information if your not very unfamiliar with the information. she use lockdown browser + webcam i think alot of the reviews are from when she only used lockdown browser with no webcam, you get 50 exam questions and 50 lab picture question. NO INDEX CARDS CAN BE USED.
DR LUO IS ONE OF THE BEST PROFESSORS I HAVE HAD IN COLLEGE.SHE IS VERY HELPFUL, CARING,AND WILL HELP YOU AT ANY POINT.SHE IS VERY GOOD WITH EMAILS. IF YOU REALLY WANT TO PASS HER CLASS, MAKE SURE TO ATTEND HER LECTURES EVENTHOUGH ATTENDANCE IS NOT MANDATORY. I AM EXCIED I TOOK HER CLASS DURING FALL OF 2024 AND I WILL TAKE HER OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
This professor is wonderful. She goes above and beyond to make sure you understand the concepts. Her tutoring is very helpful and accessible. I took her for microbiology, and now I'm taking her for anatomy 2. I cannot recommend her enough. Follow her notes, ask questions, and you'll do good. She wants you to succeed. :)
