Her lectures are literally quotes. Emilia, the TA is literally the only reason why we understood anything. Some of the stuff was interesting but the readings were so long it took away from it. Tests are difficult and not everything will be covered by the TA because of how much information there is. She’s obviously very knowledgeable in the field but doesn’t realize reading quotes off slides from weekly readings aren’t doing much.

The entire class was basically taught by the T.A., Emilia. Emilia is FANTASTIC and really honed in on every detail that we had to know. I took extensive notes during discussion sections with Emilia, which I credit any good grades I got to. Emilia broke down concepts and taught them to us in a way that I could really understand.

Prof. Garro has a terrible lecture style. All she does is read quotes off the screen. She is hard to understand and hard to follow. The lectures were on zoom and I didn't learn a single thing from any of her lectures.
Prof. Garro's class is basically based off of her own research and own writings. There is a lot of reading for this class and it would be helpful if you took good notes on all of the readings. As someone who likes medicine, I enjoyed the readings, but I definitely did not read all of them. The midterm was not too bad. I got around a B. The questions were pretty fair. Mostly free response, a few multiple choice.

I don't recommend this class unless you want to teach yourself. Prof. Garro is undeniably intelligent but she is not a great teacher. If the T.A. wasn't so amazing I would have failed.
