Comment:

This class is very easy. Go to class, write down everything she says and pay attention. Her lectures can be dry at times but they aren't that bad. Also, she gives out 4 opportunities for extra credit on each exam (excluding the final) Read the articles/know metric conversion, read powerpoints and complete the practice questions to succeed .Take her

Comment:

Honestly.... shes extremely annoying and rude. The only thing she does is talk and she's on her phone still 5 minutes into the class you can easily do well on the test WITHOUT her help. Shes mean for no reason and she makes jokes that arent funny. You probably wont go to class after first week.

Comment:

She basically reads from the powerpoints but every now and then she'll talk about something that ends up on the test. Gives you quizlets and practice tests. If you don't make a good grade on a test don't bother going to ask her about it she just makes you feel dumb for asking questions about what you missed.

Comment:

This class is easy. Shes German so her lectures are very hard to pay attention in. You could pass if you just read her slides before each test, but she does include some stuff on the test that she only says in lecture. Extra credit on every test. Graded by best 4 out of 5 tests including final. Wish she spent more time on actual disease mechanisms

Comment:

This class is not difficult. I barely went to class, and have made A's on all of her exams except for the second one (that one is by far the hardest). Her tests come straight from the practice questions online. Don't ask questions unless you have to, she's pretty mean when it comes to answering them.

Comment:

This class isn't difficult due to the material, it's difficult due to her. Day one of class she'll tell you "It's the hardest undergraduate biology" but if you don't miss any classes and write down EVERYTHING she says you can come out with an A. She's not approachable at all so be sure to listen closely because she doesn't like to repeat herself.

never showed up for a single class and have gotten A's/B's on all the exams. she makes quizlet flashcards from her powerpoints and provides practice questions which are identical to some of the test questions. definitely take her for bio

Comment:

The class isn't hard. Some bio classes could help, but I just read the powerpoints and do quizlet the night before. I made over a 100 on every test and I wouldn't go to lecture since she reads the powerpoints verbatim and very boring.

Comment:

An A in this class is very doable. Just make sure you put in the day beforehand to read through the powerpoints, quizlet flashcards, and practice questions and this class will be a breeze. 80% of the questions on the test are from practice quizzes. Read the extra credit and know micro to milli to deci etc. conversions for a few extra credit points.

Comment:

4 tests+cumulative final. On 4 unit tests she offers 10 pts EC, none on the final. She drops the lowest test, which can be the final, so I didn't even take the final. She makes flashcards and there are practice questions online which are often word for word on the test. Study using what she gives you and you'll do great! She's strict with phones

Comment:

She is a good teacher, sarcastic and funny yet no-nonsense at the same time. She knows what she is talking about but you have to come to class and listen to know whats on the exam, her ppt's are very sparse.

4 multiple choice tests. I got over 100 on two of them. There is a final but you don't have to take it. Doesn't take attendance and gives you the ppts, but also gives extra information in class that can be fair game for the tests. Study the ppts and quizlets and you'll make an A. Gives out extra credit on each test.

Comment:

Dr. Schmidt knows what she's talking about... she's also very sarcastic and a little rude. She doesn't take attendance, so either: 1) don't go to class and just study her powerpoints and the practice questions online, or 2) go to class and give her your full undivided attention (or risk being humiliated in front of the entire class)

Comment:

She was very rude at the beginning of the semester. She told us to go ahead and drop the class because it was going to be very hard. Not to mention that she would repeat this at least twice every class. Her accent made it hard to understand. She knows what she is talking about but assumes that you know it. READ THE CHAPTERS AND STUDY!!!!!

Comment:

Dr. Schmidt can be pretty funny, but she is also very stern and can often times be rude. Just show up to class, take notes, and study those along with the quizlet and you will be fine. I made a 100 in the class by just doing this. Gives 3 extra credit articles per test so make sure you show up because she only tells you their titles once.

Really easy class & a good professor. Tests directly on material covered in lectures. She does test on things she discusses that are not in the slides, so it's in your best interest to go to class. Class is funny and she ends early. Don't buy the book, she doesn't use it. Let's you switch sections for lectures and exams. Overall, enjoyed her class.

Comment:

She is German so if you sit to far back you wouldnt understand as she doesnt have the mic loud enough. She cracks jokes, kinda funny ones. She gives you the powerpoints to print. Honestly I got the book and I think if you take clear notes you wouldnt need the book. Quizlets dont really help. Doesnt take roll.

Awesome class. I loved it. You have to work hard and pay attention otherwise you will not do well. Also go to class, its important to go or you will miss stuff on the test. Tests are partially multiple choice, fill in the blank and short answers. Again if you try you will do well but you have to try.

Study the powerpoints, the Quizlets & the extra credit articles she assigns, and there's no reason you shouldn't get an A. Five tests including the final, and she drops the lowest grade- meaning if you have an A going into the final you don't have to take it.

EASY! If you didn't make an A in her class its because you just didn't even look at your notes. I got a 107 on her first test and she drops your lowest test grade. She's not very approachable, but honestly if you're studying you shouldn't need to.
