took this class my first year and was doing okay the first two weeks. Material got harder (as usual), she would not clarify the material. I took notes and studied. I missed my last four tests bc my brother passed away and I talked to her, she still failed me and would not give me an accommodation bc it was too late, a few days after classes ended.

Professor Czura is a great professor . You have to work hard for your grade. Her test are rough and spelling counts . Lecture exams have 90 questions and lab 50 questions. Your grade is based on 4 lecture exams and 3 lab exams. She drops the lower grade. If you are not willing to put a lot of effort in this class then you will fail.

Professor Czura is one of the best professors I have ever had . Anatomy is a hard class in itself but she makes it very easy. She is very intelligent and was always willing to help students understand materials that may have been a little difficult . She really cared about her students passing and that is very rare to find.

Dr. Czura is an amazing professor. She makes biology very accessible if you are unfamiliar with certain terms or haven't taken classes in awhile. Lab is easy for the most part, but you have to show up to each class or you won't make it. Lots of quizzes and exams, 1 paper. Not impossible to get an A - just have to put in work.

Best. Professor. EVER! Yes - she's challenging, yes - tests/quizzes are rough (spelling counts!), and YES - SHE WANTS YOU TO PASS! Show up, pay attention, ask questions, don't be a slacker, and you'll do great. Looking for an "easy A"? Don't take her class (and question your path). Want to actually learn and become your best? Do it - it's worth it!

Dr. Czura is the best professor I have ever had. She is knowledgable and more than willing to explain a concept you might not understand. The class in general requires A LOT of studying, but she lectures in a way that is easy to understand, you just need to memorize more specific details. AMAZING PROFESSOR!

She was actually really good! She wants you to pass and do well in the future. 44 exams, 3 practicals, a chem exam (very basic), and 10 lab quizzes that add to an exam grade. She drops the lowest one and lowest quiz grade. She has the practicals on every possible question on her BB so if you can take that whole exam you're fine!! Def. recommend!!

Amazing professor, very understanding and as long as you show you care about passing her class she will be more than happy to help you with whatever you need. Tests and quizzes are not bad as long as you put a lot of time into studying. A lot of quizzes ( one every week) but keeps you very up to date with knowing material.

Czura is one of the best professors I've ever had. She's hilarious and super caring. She wants you to succeed, but definitely wont spoon feed you everything. She is always there to help you understand things but you HAVE to study on your own. Gives good feedback on the short answers/quizzes. There is a quiz every week.

If you cannot devote 10 hours minimum of studying a week for this class you shouldn't take it. The class by nature is just an immense amount of material but her tests are very similar to science questions on the TEAS so she really is doing her best to prepare you. I only got a C but it's my own fault because I would barely study for tests...

I took her for BIO130, and she is an amazing professor! The topic is very complex, and it takes a lot of work to understand, but overall she is an AMAZING professor and respects all of her classmates individually. I would DEFF take her again if i had the chance. MUST TAKE Won't REGRET!!!!!

I took Professor Czura for a&p 2 and I thought the class was tricky but if you worked hard an A is not impossible. However, her microbiology class is NO JOKE. This is a very very very difficult class, even for someone who got an A easily in both a&p 1 and 2. I do not recommend this professor if you are taking a lot of other classes.

This was the worst teacher I've ever taken. She treated everyone like we were doctors taking a community college biology course. She was way to specific it made your head spin. I hated going to class. Very organized and approachable but i really wouldn't do this to yourself. She will fail you.

Professor Czura is an excellent professor who really knows her stuff but for me I did not like her teaching style. I prefer a professor that engages with the class but that's just what I prefer. Study the notes and take the weekly quizzes seriously. The subject matter is dry, but put the work in and you will do well.

Took her for A&P1, and I passed with a lot of hard work, but was put at ease having her as a teacher. She is an incredible teacher; very organized and informative. She makes lecture so interesting, and she gives you the most points possible to pass the class. Do not buy the textbook, she gives you all the materials needed. Prepare to study hard!

Professor Czura is a wealth of information. She is probably one of the smartest women I have ever met. Her lectures are clear, and she breaks down the material to make it simple to understand. BIO is not an easy class but she gives you more than enough opportunity to do well in her class. She's funny, is always there to help and genuinely cares.

Do not buy textbook! Lab book is all you will need, she has you print notes from her website. Lab study slides are also available on her site. I took A&P I with her and it is a tough class. She is very helpfull but, you better be ready to study study study because her tests are tough and she gives weekly fill-in quizzes.
