Dr. Quijada's module in 111B is all on the cardiovascular system. Her persona is wonderfully nice, cheerful, and easy to approach; however this was the hardest module in all of 111A and 111B. This may have just been the fact that her module was reduced to 2 weeks/4 lectures, forcing her to put dozens of slides per lecture. Slides were blocks of text that you had to memorize and she would talk so quickly through the entire lecture it was hard to catch what was happening. I usually don't take notes by annotating slides like most people do, but this module forced that lifestyle onto me - it was that much material. It's a grind but studying is no different from the rest of the core, just memorize and regurgitate come exam time.

She's very enthusiastic about this topic but worst physci core class ever. I've never felt physci was this confusing and hard throughout 107 and 111a. Unorganized slides with 500+ word in one slide and ask you to memorize everything on it. Her section is only 2 weeks and she went through 8 different drugs in 10 minutes and ask us to memorize all drug's name and mechanism. Overall just ridiculous amount of workload and she's asking too much from students.

Dr. Quijada handled a very challenging time in the quarter with grace and compassion. She cared very much about our ability to still learn in the class, while understanding that the environment might not have been the most conducive to that goal. I'm saddened that we did not get to learn in person with her for very long, but she was an excellent professor with some of the best lecture slides I've ever had. She adapted well this quarter, and it also seemed as though she is very responsive to feedback from prior quarters and does not remain rigid in the material she covers, which I have exceeding respect and appreciation for.

Her module on cardiology was definitely the hardest in 111B, but that also might be because of the subject matter. She is kinda quiet as a lecturer but she knows the material well and can explain it well. Her exams were harder than the rest but definitely not unmanageable and she was very sweet.
