Comment:
RUN! She does not write anything on the board! So be prepared to write as fast as you can, or type as fast as you can. She uses a lot of slides to cover the material and her tests are very very HARD!! Regardless if you study. Labs are better than lecture but beware -she grades lab reports very seriously. I would not take another class w/her.

A&P: Tough class, tough teacher. She is very clear in lectures, uses powerpoint, many overhead pics, & board to create visuals to help. Not a class if looking for an easy grade, but great if you want to learn your anatomy & physiology. I worked hard, but learned well. Beware the bones...amazing woman & great labs!

Comment:
Truthfully, I enjoyed this class with Professor Gorczyca. Her teaching style was methodical, and clear. Student must be willing to put the work in. The tests are challenging, the material interesting. Her teaching style is "old-school",yet effective. I recommend her class for ambitious, curious students.

RUN!!!!! If you like to teach yourself, never ask any questions, and be totally unprepared for a test this teacher is for you!!!! Zero sympathy for students. Make sure you know the book as well as she does!!! Shell test you on it!!!

I would not recommend this teacher, let alone take another class from her. She tells you to bring your questions to class and when you do ask questions in class she is extremely rude. Sighs when you ask questions, I have a whole list of things of why not to take her.

Comment:
She seems like a nice woman, I have nothing personal against her. In class she comes across as unprepared and apathetic as to whether her students learn or not. Her teaching skills are utterly nonexistent.I was under the impression that educators are to facilitate understanding the material. Sadly,she presents an impediment to understanding.

Refreshing to have a teacher who makes you earn your grade. She doesn't like you interupting class with fickle questions but is very helpful during office hours. Won't take any BS- but if you actually study and do your work- its not bad. I really enjoyed her class and would take her again in a heartbeat. Just don't expect handouts and do your work.

Comment:
The best way to do well in her class is to read the chapter due before class and then take careful notes in class- what she covers in class will be on the exam, it also follows the review notes she hands out. She is not an exciting teacher personality-wise, but she is solid. If you show genuine interest in the subject, she teaches better.

Comment:
This professor sucks! I sit in class and struggle to learn from this boring, monotonous, out of touch instructor. usually is unprepared, very rude, and broad in class. I am getting a good grade and that is only because of the fact that i teach myself using the book and the 3-4 dreadfully long, given study guides. many ppl have dropped or fail

She knows her stuff, but should not be teaching. Hates students, has not tolerance for any questions! Could not stand the sighing before explaining topics. Very depressing class, but had to take it.

Comment:
I would NOT recommend this teacher for the following reasons...She's very rude; when students ask questions during lectures she can get pretty nasty. While grading tests and lab reports she will show no mercy and is extremely fussy about details. Furthermore, many students withdrew from this course and the class average was roughly a high C.

I dropped her class after the first test. I didn't like her class format. You only have like 4 or 5 tests, and those are your grades. There are no homeworks or quizzes to help your grade. It's obvious she enjoys the subject.

Horrible teacher! she was very smart but unprepared for labs. Didnt explain things well. Half the class withdrew or dropped the course. I had a ok grade but dropped it anyway. Couldnt deal with the monotone voice..like charlie brown's teacher.

A real hard ass!! She made my last year a living hell! She was effective, though. I learned a lot. I don't think she liked me very much. If she doesn't like you, look out!
