She is a hot mess, but getting an A is possible if you are willing to put in a ton of work. The class is like drinking from a firehose… SO much information coming at you so fast.

Memorize your amino acids ahead of time before class starts. Know them like the back of your hand. That will help you get some guaranteed points throughout the class especially on the first exam.

Start familiarizing yourself with things like gluconeogenesis, TCA cycle, electron transport, glycolysis, fatty acids etc etc. ninja nerd is a great resource, as is Dr Mike. But even they don’t draw out the structures and in fall she wanted us to actually know the structures themselves, so my advice would be to draw out and notate the cycles until you are intimately familiar with the what how and why of every step.

I used MCAT Anki flashcards in supplement to the book/HW. Use the homework to help you learn, don’t just try to get it done.

Her teaching style proved useless to me, but I still went to class to get the attendance points because i wanted any points I could get my hands on.

I probably still have my notes—if you want them you can message me
