  Her recorded YouTube lectures have a lot of audio issues where you have trouble understanding what she is saying. Another thing is that she is a very tough grader on short answer questions. She wants you to answer a specific type of way. On a positive note, she does hand out extra credit. There were 3 extra credit assignments

  If you can take absolutely anyone else I would. This is a LAST resort option for credit. She is an intense critic on essay based questions, and is very difficult to please. Often times I felt like she didnt like me,and I felt my grades were a reflection of that. I dont know any other teacher whose a tough English teacher in a science course.

  Prof. Miranda is awesome! She provides more than enough resources and her lectures are entertaining. The majority of your grades come from tests and she is specific on short answer questions. However, she provides test reviews and if you put in the work the tests are not that bad. She will make you work for your grade but is VERY FAIR!! Take her!!

  I tell you what, I was expecting this semester to be a nightmare with me taking A&P 2 and microbio ONLINE. Professor Miranda made sure the class was prepared for LECTURE. I felt like the lab portion was lacking. She helped me a lot when it came to our two big projects of the semester. She is very lax on grading, there are assignments due every week

  Professor Miranda was an amazing teacher. She really wants you to do well but you definitely have to put in the work. She will do whatever she can to help you but you still have to put in the work. Her test are multiple choice, matching, and essay. She is very specific when it comes to essay, but she offers lots of extra credit. Take her if you can

  She reads off the power point like 90% of the time. Her jokes are almost as bad as her teaching. There's 4 test, the final is all vocab. Some of the test have short answers she will NIT PICK the F out of those questions. She'll say spelling doesn't matter but let me tell ya she's a lil grammar nazi. Online HW is mindless and stupid.

You must study, go to SI study session and make sure you understand everything; I did all that plus watching video on YouTube. This class is no joke, be advise ONLY TAKE THIS CLASS!

  She reads PowerPoint. We had just about 4 days to the finals and about 4 chapters to cover. She rushed through the slides knowing that students may not have enough time to cover the material. She gives extra credit but that may not make a lot of difference in the end. Two lab exams with an unknown report, and 5 exams. hard work with a tough grader.

  Shes a nice professor although she is very picky on essay questions and doesnt give at least any partial credit. I use the book to study for exams and she will count the essay question wrong if you provide info from the book.

  Mrs. Miranda truly loves what she does and cares for her students. If you put in the effort and show you care she will care. Answers quickly to emails and helps in any way she can. Do not expect a easy A as you have to put in the work, but she gives opportunities to ensure a passing grade at the end of the semester.
