Good lecturer. She adds a lot of info from what is on the slides, and it can be tough to know what is necessary info. Obviously knows her stuff.

Very thorough in her lectures. You need to be in class, listening and taking notes to understand but if you do pay attention she goes very specifically what she wants you to know.

Comment:

She talks super fast and it is impossible to keep up with notes unless you are a speed typer. She continuously picks on the people sitting in the back of the lecture room, and frequently says "Okay i guess I will just stand here and wait until someone in the back answers my question." She is just, plainly stated, annoying.

Comment:

Tracy is probably the best professor in the department. That being said, her classes are also probably the most difficult. She is an excellent lecturer and supportive faculty member that is always fast to respond to questions. Without a doubt 361 and 318 will be the hardest biology classes you will ever take but they are definitely worth it!

Comment:

Marchant is super enthusiastic about this course. Lectures far from boring. She knows the topics very well. She can be very nice but was sometimes was bluntly rude towards students and the co-prof. Midterm was ok. Final exam was painful. Questions were extremely hard, even though I listened in class and read the text, it brought my mark down a lot.

Comment:

She is such a kind individual, she will answer any and all questions you have, she is so helpful. However, her slides don't have much in them. A lot of the vital information she teaches verbally so you should show up for class. The textbook is a must with her!!! This class was hell as a summer class, I wish i had just taken it in the fall.

Comment:

Oh man, Dr. Marchant was an actual blessing after her co-lecturer. She's incredibly involved (quick communication via email, willing to help outside of class, came to check up on us in the lab to see how we were all doing) and clearly wants her students to do well. The material was complex, but she made it clear. Clear on grading, too. A+ prof.

Comment:

Tracy is more than happy to help, asking question for clarification was very helpful. She's very enthusiastic about her field so it makes the lectures light. Some of her questions are tricky because they contain certain trigger words. Textbook to supplement lectures is necessary as she goes through the basics in classes.

I LOVE TRACY! She's so enthusiastic about teaching and even though her words get a bit jumbled sometimes she explains concepts fantastically. I will gladly take as many classes with her as I can.

Comment:

Tracy is a wonderful professor. She's always willing to help if you approach her, and in my Biol 361 lab, she'd stay late into the night just to answer questions and discuss ideas. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and she has a wealth of knowledge. If you're willing to put in the work, you'll be rewarded, but don't expect a good grade if you slack!

This is a decent class with a decent prof. Not terribly hard concepts but i would not recommend this as a summer class. Too much material to cover in a short amount of time.

Comment:

She's a decent prof. Her notes weren't very good because of copy right laws. She wasn't able to post any pictures or figures at all. Class exams are decent. 95+ Lab final destroys the mark. Highest lab final mark was 93. awful.

Very enthusiastic teacher, loves what she's teaching and that made it easier to learn her material. Would recomend her as a teacher to anyone. Her notes available to print offline are difficult to follow so you need to attend every class

Comment:

I really enjoyed tracy as a prof. She knows her stuff and is enthusiastic about teaching. Her midterm questions focused on specifics as opposed to understanding the whole picture. I strongly encourage you to memorize and study the pictures because she put a few questions on the test that were simply found in a diagram. Know the eye portion well!

Interesting lecturer, excited by the material. Posts notes online. What she puts in the notes is what you need to know for the exams. Overall, good professor and fair marker.

Enjoys teaching! She is excited about the class. Sometimes moves too fast, perhaps too much material for amount of class time alloted. Overall, kind person with a sense of humor and enjoyable to learn from.

Comment:

Brilliant Prof and extremely willing to help in any way possible. Class was hard and info wasn?t always exceedingly clear, but that is also a reflection of the subject matter. Very encouraging and genuinely cares about the plight of her students. Be prepared to work hard, this is not a class for slacking. Very rewarding experience, Great Prof.
