Comment:

She really is a nice lady who loves what she does and cares about her students. But... her lectures are all over the place, pretty confusing so you kinda have to teach yourself or you will be lost when the test comes. Her tests are hard and you really have to have an understanding of the material to do well. She is retiring though.

Comment:

First let me say: sweet lady. Really loves and cares for her students. Can't teach to save her life. Her lectures are practically nonsense they're so scattered. They're extremely boring and always confusing. Even the most basic, simple scientific concepts she somehow turns into brain sludge. Sweet lady. Awful teacher.

For Gen Bio 1 she is a better option then Hunter or brokaw as she does trim the course down, however she uses a point system which can be a bit confusing. She's sweet and is very accessible if you need her.

She lectures every class, but just reads off of an outline that you will have access to. I had to go home and teach myself from the book because following along on an outline didn't do it for me. I did well in the class but I had to work so hard for it. If you don't work for it, you will not do well. It is not a blowoff or easy A class.

Dr. Hernandez is a very sweet and caring professor. I had her for neurobiology and had so much fun in the class. Lectures can sometimes be confusing, but that's why it is important to keep up with the material, be engaged, ask questions, and go visit during office hours. Do that and you'll be successful!

Dr. Hernandez is a very sweet lady but you have to give more than 100% if you want to succeed, recommend going to her study sessions and reading extra as her test cover material not covered during lecture

Very unhelpful in this class. I worked my butt off and still did not do very well. Tried talking to her on a regular basis to try and improve, and she was little to no help. She was very difficult to follow on lecture, and usually jumped around to where I couldn't follow her at all. The tests seemed to cover a lot of material not covered in class.

Her lectures are all over the place. She pretty much requires you to go to the study session that take place right after chapel. If you don't go you will actually miss stuff we didn't go over in class. She gives lots of extra credit, but if you don't do it she won't help you.

She's a sweet lady, but not a great teacher. Her lectures were all over the place and confusing. She has a heart of gold, but this class is tough.

Dr. Hernandez is a great teacher. The quizzes aren't hard if you study, and there's not much to study. She is also great mentor that is there for you. Plus, she's the only bio professor with study sessions. (Well that's what I heard from my Academic Advisor) I recommend you take her class. Lectures are 50 minutes long. Has some long Powerpoints.

I had her for anatomy and physiology I for nursing. Anatomy is hard, but Dr. Hernandez is the best educaor for such a difficult class. While class gets confusing a lot of the time, Dr. Hernandez is the most helpful professor that I have ever had. She will literally spend an hour explaining one concept to you until you unerstand it.an amazing woman!

Very sweet lady...horrible professor. Tests/quizzes are very difficult with not much cohesive material to study from. I will say she makes herself available for help sometimes. Try not to take her if you can avoid it.

SHE WAS AWFUL! I could not stand her! She is the reason I quit nursing. I needed a B in the class and had a 78... she would not let me do anything to make up. Her tests were so hard. I studied every single day. She is confusing. She confuses herself alot. She does not know what she is talking about. dont take her

Her class was hard because of volume of information, and she doesn't really explain anything well, so you have to learn it from the book on your own. You also have a test every friday no matter what, which stinks.

Comment:

You have a quiz and a test basically every week and it gets to a point where it takes away from your other classes. Always says you need to know this on the test and it never shows up; puts questions that have little importance. It also felt like half of the semester was on plants. Mid-term and final are thirty-four percent of your final grade.
