    that was one of the biochem class(for life science majors) i took, the professor dint teach at all, just repeat verbatim from the slides and the book without going into too much detail. i had to retake the class due to that because her tests did not match what she was saying on the POWERPOINTS whom she repeated. and i self-taught once i took 2 semesters later with a different teacher.

    Like how can we know about CANCER biochemical metabolism when its not even mentioned in the whole lecture, eventhough the test mentioned how the “cancer” was shunting part of the metabolites to alternative pathway for energy thats related to what we know about normal metabolism which was in the textbook(very convoluted question) and it seems to be beyond the scope of the class, since beginners biochem isnt talking something as advanced as cancer metabolism. it was the reverse wharburg effect for cancer cells.

    and that class has a large number of people confused about her teaching style and thier grades reflected that and since it was the last semester for most of them, she pontentially screwed people out of grad school. she claimed “SHE was busy person in her LAB”, translate i dont really have time for lecturing/teach students, her test were as hard as my CCollege org.chem courses(whom decided thier courses have to match ivy league colleges for some reason).
