Sara Lombardi BSCI202 Anonymous 05/01/2023	I like professor Lombardi and I think she's a really good lecturer. However, BE WARNED, her exams are not as easy as some people say they are. She does try to trick you and she will if you are not paying enough attention to the entire scope of the question. ESPECIALLY THE TRUE AND FALSE. for people taking her next semester, read over the true and false a few times and underline the key words, I promise you there are tricks in there that if you're glancing at the questions quickly, you will miss them. Those are honestly the hardest parts of the tests, but other than that the class is definitely doable.
Sara Lombardi BSCI201 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 04/05/2023	Dr. Lombardi is an incredible lecturer. Rather than dumping information on to students, she teaches in a way that effectively helps students grasp the material. She is also fair and very clear on her expectations. She is super sweet and always available to provide help and feedback when needed. I highly recommend taking her!

Sara Lombardi BSCI202 Expecting an A Anonymous 01/25/2023	This class covers a lot of content, but Dr. Lombardi does an amazing job of teaching it in a way that's easy to understand. She also records all her lectures on Panopto, which is nice. Overall highly recommend

Sara Lombardi BSCI202 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 06/11/2021	I have nothing but very good things to say about Dr. Lombardi. She is consistently available to respond to any student questions or concerns, has an extremely approachable lecture style, and makes it very clear that she cares deeply about her students. I took her for both BSCI201 and BSCI202 and, while 202 was a bit tougher, both courses were highly dependent on the work the student puts in. Highly recommended!
Sara Lombardi BSCI202 Expecting an A Anonymous 02/22/2021	Great professor, you can really tell she loves what she does and that makes the content a lot more engaging. She gives you everything you need for the exams right in her lectures, so keep up with the content and you should be fine. Especially online w open notes, everything you need she gives to you. I took her for BSCI201 last semester and got an A-, I'm taking her again for BSCI202 this semester and planning to get the same or above.
Sara Lombardi BSCI202 Expecting a B Anonymous 11/10/2020	AWESOME professor. She knows her stuff and is extremely passionate about A&P. She brings a lot of energy into her lectures and makes them engaging. There's a good amount of memorization but that's just the nature of the course. She makes all the material very understandable. I was dreading this course but she made me love it! Hands down the best professor I've had at UMD.
Sara Lombardi BSCI201 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/22/2020	She is very helpful with understanding concepts although she does talk fast. She also tests on stuff she SAYS in class and not just what's written on the board. She also gives some lecture assignments. Very energetic and makes the class go by fast.

Sara Lombardi AREC200 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/11/2018	One of the best professors I've had at UMD in terms of knowledge of the topic and enthusiastic lecturing. Really knows how to engage the class and get you to pay attention. AREC200 isn't too hard of a class. If you do well on the homeworks and have a good grasp of the topics, you'll do fine.
Sara Lombardi AREC200 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/21/2017	Dr. Lombardi is passionate and encourages student involvement in the class. The midterm was very easy and even had some extra credit questions. The final was written by the other professor though (Holzer). There was no textbook, but just a few readings which were posted on ELMS. Minimal effort for an A.
Sara Lombardi BSCI201 Expecting an A- Anonymous 12/21/2017	Professor Lombardi is honestly one of the best biology professors I've had at this school. She tries really hard to make everything as clear as possible and you can definitely get at least a B during the class exams by just looking through the powerpoints. Professor Lombardi also gives tips for the lab section of the class, and offers a max of 10 points of extra credit. The class is out of 1000, so it's 1% of extra credit, but it's better than nothing. She's really strict about her cut offs though so a 895/1000 won't be rounded up to a 900/1000.
