I wish I could take all of the Dr. Lom classes. She is phenomenal! She uses innovative teaching methods, which are such a nice change from boring, long, unengaging lectures given by other professors. She likes to have fun in class, likes to keep you accountable for your work, and her class is suited for all learning styles. Favorite class taken!

Comment:
VERY picky for essays. Very straightforward teacher; if you read, you'll do well. But you HAVE to keep up with the reading for the daily quizzes. It takes a while to get the hang of the lab presentations and papers, but this class does a good job of preparing you for other science classes down the road.

I don't really like Lom's teaching style; she reminds me of an elementary school teacher. Hated her during lecture; liked her okay enough during lab. For Bio 111, Wessner's probably a better bet.

Easy to understand and fully explains concepts, esp. if you're having trouble with them. She draws a LOT of pictures, which is helpful for a lot of us. Fair grader, but you MUST study in order to do well on her tests. Group lab reports, not too bad, and labs aren't too interesting but are easy enough. I'd recommend.

Dr. Lom is a great professor and one of the best I have had thus far. While she is very hard, she cares about her students, and does a great job explaining the material.

Dr. Lom has been the best professor that I have had thus far at Davidson. She is extremely prepared, knowledgeable, and helpful. She can find a way to explain anything that you do not understand. Her tests can be tough, but, if you keep up with the material, you should be just fine.

An excellent teacher! Here tests are straight forward and although she assigns a lot of reading it is not necessary to do well in her class.

Dr. Lom is very demanding, but she's also clear on what she demands, so if you're willing to put in the time you can get a good grade in her courses. (The tests will be impossible if you haven't paid attention in class however)

Extremely long hard tests but a great teacher. Interesting lectures, but very tough grading. Lab presentations and reports will boost grades. Once you get used to her tests, you will do much better. Don't give up hope!
