Comment:

Extremely unclear about what she wants. I work really hard, but then it turns out she wanted something completely different (without explaining what she was looking for). Seems like she doesn't understand our questions or ideas. So pretty much you just have to ignore her and talk to the TA. Very frustrating and uninteresting class.

Comment:

Awful Professor. Is very knowledgeable about the field, but the class is horrible. Highly unorganized, and the grading scale is simply ridiculous. Needs to understand that not everyone is passionate about fish/lizard skin color change.

Comment:

She seems tough though doesn't like failing people so it's impossible to not to pass. She seems very passionate about her field and is very clear, helpful, and caring. I want to go into research, and I feel this class is ideal for me. So far so good!

Comment:

Nicest professor. Class is not too bad. Read your book! Don't study just lecture notes because she makes her exams from the textbook. If you do that you'll be fine. Better than the regular BISC276 class because none of her exams are cumulative.

Comment:

This class is time consuming and hard. She asks alot on lab reports. Lab Reports are like research papers and there is one due every week. So be ready to put in a lot of time and effort for this course. She is helpful but not very clear on what she wants and its reflected in your grade.

Great teacher. Very approachable, and her tests are not too difficult if you really study for them. Wants to remain in contact with you even after the class is over to provide further help. Def.take this class.

Comment:

SHE IS HORRIBLE!!! Do not, I repeat, do not, take her class. She doesn't even teach what the course is about. She is completely unorganized, and she tests you on things that were never taught. She likes to use the computer and the overhead at the same time, and she ignores you when you challenge her tests.

Comment:

Nice lady, but EXTREMELY unorganized. She lost all of her notes at the beginning of the semester. Tests were ridiculous, you had to know what she was thinking when she made up the questions. Told the class that we looked like "B or C people"

Comment:

Worst teacher I've ever taken. Very unorganized and everything on tests is from the book. She takes about 4 2 hour classes to cover one concept. Argue any test question u think should be right cause you very well might be. Take someone else!! Dont take over winter either!!!

Very nice and helpful. Speaks excellent English. Lab is A LOT of work. Her directions for lab reports weren't the clearest, but she didn't write the assignments, so it's not entirely her fault. Unfortunately, bc we didn't understand, we had to rewrite 4 of our 7 lab reports.
