Comment:

An exceptional teacher. I took her immunology course as a nonmatriculated student updating coursework for a second career. She inspired me and I have built upon what she taught; the stuff I learned from her proved truly foundational. I'm a veterinarian now. Among the undergrad profs who inspired me the most, she ranks among the very few at the top.

Comment:

As a result of her "ramblings," I considered an alternate career path- which I have never regretted. In addition, when I met my then future spouse, he echoed my opinion that she was one of the most influential people in my life. An incredible, intelligent person. Sometimes it takes years before you recognize someone's role as life changing...

Without a doubt, the worst professor I have ever had in my life. I got an A, and I have no idea what I learned...I only remember Gen Bio immunolgy after taking her rambling and disjointed class. Impossible exams and useless lecutres...crazy stories and theories: she called the bio soc-bio med students "useless brain-dead idiots of Rutgers" hahaha

Comment:

This woman was out of her mind.She called out students for not showing up, which is ridiculous considering the class time (T-F 810AM!) and size (well over 200 people). She would constantly interject useless stories about her family, some prof with short-man syndrome, how Rutgers invented the pill, and how the female sex organs are so sophisticated

Comment:

She is a little crazy and tends to go on about her personal theories and views a lot,but these can be interesting.the exams are never on those things so don't bother trying to keep up and write them down.the exam questions are way too advanced for the level of the class.however,she gives huge curves!study book and her general notes and u'll b fine

Rancourt is awesome. She's rediculously smart, has a lot of interesting things to say. Go to class you'll get a B, she even let us use our notes for the final last semester.

I cant stand you slackers who give her a bad rap. This woman is a genius and tolerates no BS from anyone. Compared to Zoghlul Kabir, she is a biology goddess. I will miss her when she retires :(
