baddest professor ever had.BIOL1115 2017-04-21 14:56:43 +0000 UTC
Dr. Kanner is a very nice person, but she made it pretty clear the first day of class that she did not have a heavy background in microbiology so don't expect to have highly detailed lectures that if you take her class. As long as you go to class and do the readings you should do fine. Her exams were relatively easy and straightforward.BIO2321 2016-09-15 15:39:56 +0000 UTC
She is a nice professor and has a passion for teaching. However she should not be teaching microbio. She told the class she "doesn't know much about micro-biology." This has an extremely negative impact on lecture topics and her lack of knowledge on the subject cripples the moral of the students, largely because she is learning the material with usBIOL2321 2016-06-08 18:09:54 +0000 UTC
Extremely nice but bad at teaching. Can't answer simple questions from students, doesn't seem to know material taught in course. Tests on things not covered in lectures, doesn't test on things she said were important to know for the test. Disorganized, easily distracted, can't focus if anyone's talking above a whisper, but can get A just using textBIOL1115 2016-11-01 10:54:39 +0000 UTC
