Absolute goat! Such a nice person and very knowledgeable about every subject within BSCI201. Her exams were fair, and you are given plenty of material to help you prepare and study for them. Her office hours were a big help too as almost no one goes for some reason. She also allows a cheat sheet for each exam that helps you avoid the stupid memory things that won't come up but just might be snuck in for a few questions on each exam. 10/10 professor I would 100% recommend. |

Dr. Goytia is a very nice and understanding professor. But GOOD GOD do not take this class over the summer. It will consume your life. You basically either have a midterm or lab practical (or both) every week, so there's not much time for procrastination or having a life really. But this is by no means the professors fault. She's very passionate about anatomy and physiology, easy to contact, and explains everything that is needed for the exams. Only problem is it can be extremely challenging to retain the amount of information required for the exams and practical in such a short time. There are extra credit assignments that are offered after the midterms, which can give you a solid 10-15% boost to your grade. This course would definitely be much more manageable if taken during a regular 16 week cycle. |

Amazing professor, her lectures are organized and align well with the content of her exams and she offers many extra credit opportunities to help students with what she knows can be a difficult subject. You also get a cheat sheet to use on exams as other reviews have said which is also really helpful. The content is really interesting and fun, and she helped make the concepts of this class intuitive to understand. |

She knows what she is teaching! Answer questions very well! She is super considerate with recording lectures, and providing extra credit quiz after each exam. Slides are posted well before the date they are taught. The workload is manageable, and the tests are a direct reflection of the slides. |

Amazing professor that really knows what she is talking about! She is very passionate about the material. You can tell that she really cares about her students and their success in her class. Always available to answer questions and makes exams fair given the large amount of information covered. Would 100% take her again. |

She is fantastic! Good lecturer and always answers questions well. Provides a study guide for exams and lets you bring a one page of notes for the exams and final. Provided extra credit after exams so that the exam grade average would be around 85%. |

Best BSCI201 Anatomy and Physiology 1 professor at UMD ever. Cheat sheet on exams, lots of easy assignments to help you study and boost grade. Tests are fair and Dr. Goytia is the kindest and most humble professor at UMD. |

Literally love this professor, exam are the majority of the grade for this course but she provides so many opportunities to bring your grade up outside of exams, which are amazing for bad test takers!!! She does a great job explaining and if you don't understand her office hour are actually HELPFULLL!!! She is the first professor at UMD that I felt cared about the student and them passing the class instead of trying there best to make the class diffcult. 100000/10. |

Take her over any professor teaching this class, if you don't you'll regret it. She's extremely understanding and gives multiple opportunities to bring your grade up outside of exams. Provides extra credit and also allows you to bring notes to exams!! If you show up to class and use the resources you'll be fine! |
