Comment:

She is terrible. I've never had a worse professor in my life. She's totally scatterbrained and disorganized, and she never makes it clear what she wants you to know for the tests. You can tell she knows a lot but all she does is talk about random examples and she is very rude and wastes a lot of time talking about discipline she cant enforce.

Comment:

If you have an understanding of the whole evolution theory..the class is really easy. i just read through the outlines before the exams and went to like 70-80 percent of class and managed to get an A.

She's not a great teacher, but if you study, it's easy to get good grades. i wouldn't recommend her, but i don't think she's the worst teacher ever.

Comment:

terrible teacher. very boing and does not care about the students or their learning. always goes off topic about some bug or plant that has nothing to do with the tests. teaches straight from given outlines. dont need to go to class. tests arent to hard and you get to dro your lowest grade.

Comment:

If you can in anyway avoid this professor, I would strongly reccomend you do so.I spent more than 5 hours every day going over the material to get an A. She posts up her "outlines" for lectures that are useless and in her powerpoints uses pictures and diagrams from other books goes through the material too fast and doesnt like to be asked questions

Plenty of digressions. Kirks out. Crazy multiple choice tests with multiple answers.

Comment:

I love her! She is so passionate about the subject and really does her best to explain it. Sometimes she doesn't understand what a confused student is asking but for the most part she is good at explaining things. She puts alot of effort into helping students understand the material (study Qs, review sessions, discussionboard)

Comment:

She is very enthusiastic about what she teaches. I had her for a class about evolution compared to religion, and it was very interesting. It counts for a non-lab science, too. I recommend it.

She is very condensending. She wants students to do well but doesnt know how to teach them. Lecture is important and the tests are very difficult. Loves to talk down to kids and has a hard time with technology and doesnt know how to dress her body shape.

Sweet lady, but a zealot about biology. Her TAs tend to be harsh-grading zealots in her shadow.
