Professor Parker was an overall good teacher. She knows her information pretty well and at first I enjoyed the class like the first two weeks but oh my gosh the work load this woman gives is insane. You think you are done with work and when you check CCLE there is another inquizitive or smartwork hw you have to finish which are hard at times but not that hard because quizlet gotchu. Just make sure you do the inquizitives on time, make sure to do the smarthomeworks on time, post questions which she calls muddiest points, and participate in class. If you are a shy person, you are literally screwed because she has this name generator that calls on people randomly and if you answer the question you get the point if you don't then ya don't get a point. You have to present as well in front of the class your case study presentation and yall just get ready for this class because yall thought chem was the only hard class? NOPE! Goodluck?
BTW instead of taking notes get her objectives and answer those questions instead. You can fill those out as she is lecturing.

I'm afraid of a lot of things, but I am most afraid of Jordan Moberg Parker. She's a very smart person; her aura oozes of intelligence. At the same time, if I had the option of picking hair out of the drains of 20 Sproul hall showers or attending her office hours alone, I'd pick the hair.
Her class is structured well. Although there is a lot of work, all of the assignments are outlined clearly and I knew what to expect each week. She low key pulled an LS7 series on us and assigned a metric fuckton of reading that wasn't always tested on. Her tests are difficult but fair (tricky wording sometimes). The material is super interesting and you can clearly see how passionate she is. I've learned a lot of very valuable information in this class. The only bad part about this class is the participation.
She requires you to get a certain number of participation points throughout the year. Some of these you get with clicker questions, but you must supplement your overall requirements by asking questions in class or posting on the discussion forum. The only thing that comes out of this is a fuck-ton of meaningless questions asked in class and on the forum. People ask stupid questions in class because they need the points. This just takes away from valuable class time. This class would have been much much better if she just addressed the participation point issue and relaxed a little. It's okay if people don't participate! It's okay! It's fine! Everything is fine!
Dr. Parker, if you're reading this (I doubt you will), please understand that not everyone learns the same way. Asking questions in class doesn't help everyone, and by forcing your students to deviate from their preferred method of learning, you show them that their learning is not a priority. I may be the stupidest person I know, but I know myself best.
tl;dr: she's not a bad professor in any way. Just prepare to ask a lot of bullshit questions in class to get participation points. Most importantly, prepare to lose your soul to the terrifying beast I call the CCLE discussion forum.

Professor Parker has been the most amazing professor I have ever had during my time at UCLA. Despite coming into this course very nervous about the extreme detail that would be required of us to know, Dr. Parker taught the class using very effective and interesting methods that caught my attention and allowed me to retain the material. She always made herself available to us and she was very flexible about when and where we could meet with her, she had very clear and organized presentations and chapter objectives that allowed me to succeed on exams as well. I went to her office hours at least once a week and I am so glad that I did because I got to know a little bit about her ( although I do wish I could've sat and talked to her for hours about her life and other random things) and she was very good at explaining difficult concepts in a simple way that I was able to understand.

Her homework assignments, clicker questions, presentations and readings were extremely beneficial and I believe they were a major contribution to my interest and success in this course. I would recommend this class to anyone who is interested in learning more about the human body, as I felt that I learned a lot of miscellaneous material that I can actually use in the future, and its also fun to just know random little facts.

If Professor Parker was reading this, I would like to personally thank her for (never thought I would say this) teaching me microbiology because if I wasn't doing nursing, I would definitely consider becoming to an MIMG major. Professor Parker deserves every inch of her cute little office and I wish she was teaching more lower division courses because I would not hesitate to enroll in them simply to have the privilege to say that I was in her class. Truly an honor to be one of her students and I am immensely grateful for the short time we had together. 10/10!!!!!
