Comment:

She makes you buy textbook that youll never open. All tests are online and all answers are on quizlet. Only final was in class and everybody did bad because nobody studied for a whole quarter. I didnt get anything from that class for myself.

This is a 100 level course work, only take this class if you are out of options, even then you will dread it. the worst class i have ever took, tough grader, picks at everything. horrible teacher overall. i know it's college but the amount of work is ridiculous.

Comment:

She'll knock you points on lots of small details, and there is a LOT of reading, but no midterm, no final, and you end up with a lot of extra credit at the end without having to do any extra work. She provides links to lots of videos, too, which is helpful. There's a lot of work and reading, but if you put in the effort, you can get a good grade.

Comment:

For a 100 level course there is a lot to learn in very little time and Diane makes you work for your grade. I have nothing overly negative but get ready to spend time on homework, it looks easy and normally is but tedious, takes forever, and better cite your sources! Make sure you're ready to work.

Comment:

Her homework and tests were on Pearson Online for our class. I did like this format, as there were great opportunities to enhance your studying and the test were based off of the book so you knew where to focus study. Lots of extra credit was offered as well. She is very intelligent, which can come off as intimidating, but she has a fun side too!

Comment:

Do not take Diane unless you want a low grade. Had her for BIO 160 and 241. She grades hard on everything, lectures in class are over complicated, exams are also extremely tough. For BIO 241 and 242 I Suggest Sean Sapunar, great professor.

All 3 MB exams are online so basically use quizlit n 55 questions (timed). There are paper assignments that are worth good amounts of points so do well in them. On paper assignments you can use google to get the correct answers. Lecture attendance is not mans Tory but lab days are. Every week you have pre lab assignment online. The final is in clas

Comment:

Appears to be unaware that this is a level 100 course. The reading, mastering homework, and her own long and convoluted homework takes up so much time. Put in the work you'll get a good grade. There's tons of opportunities for extra credit. However, after seeing what other students turned in on a weekly basis, their bad grade is their own fault.

Comment:

Once you begin her class it will seem overwhelming with the work load and reading, but it wasn't bad at all and it gets easier after the first week of class. She is very helpful in class and online; and she is lenient when it comes to missing homework and quizzes. The labs that you do on the lab day are very easy. Quizzes and test are all online.

Good god, this teachers is so bad. Hardest class ever. She makes her homework so you cant look it up in the book or even online. Horrible idea taking it online. DO NOT TAKE THIS if your looking for a easy natrual science. AWFUL, peace.

What a great teacher, she defiantly makes you think. Her lecture exams are some of the hardest tests I've taken. Come to class everyday and study hard and you will do great. Ask questions when needed, she is very helpful and wants you to pass her class. I wish i could have taken her for AP 2 but she did not teach it next quarter.

If you're serious about getting into an amazing Nursing school, her class is third grade easy when it comes to the classes required once in the bachelor programs most nursing students wish to attend. Thankful for her passion and thentime she puts into this class.

Diane's one of the best professors I've had at GRC. She's very organized; goes out of her way to send weekly agendas, updates, etc. Yes, there's a lot of work, but repetition and critical thinking help to remember the info (and there's a lot of it). A&P is not an easy subject, but we get multiple learning methods here. I'd take her class again.

Diane is a great lady! I took her Biology 160 class for Summer and it was intense. This however was my first biology class taken in college. She is very clear on her grading. There is ALOT of homework but as long as you turn everything on time you will do fine! Study study! Interesting class and she makes learning fun in her lectures!

Professor Diane expects a lot for her students. The workload is pretty heavy for a 100 level course . The Discussion board are graded tough. She offers a lot of extra credit almost 65 points

Diane makes you work for your grade. She indeed expects a lot from you but is not very hard as people say. She is tough in her instructions but not her subject matter. She gave a whole quiz and a discussion as n extra credit to cover up the grade!

Comment:

I think Diane is a better teacher than people give her credit for. She clearly loves science. She has high expectations, but in the real world, employers expect professional work. This is good practice. Most of the pts are in the hw & labs, so a test shouldn't ruin your grade. Lab reports are typed with citations. Be sure to turn things in on time.
