Comment:

Professor Archer is a very passionate professor. She is always in the mood of teaching and learning in the process. She even tries to make classes more interactive. However, she is not very clear sometimes in class and her exams are fairly challenging, but to a moderate level. If you ask her questions, she will gladly answer them to you.

Comment:

WORST BIO PROFESSOR EVER! Her lectures are so boring that you will definitely fall asleep. She doesn't have a flow in her teaching, jumps from one topic to another and says 'we'll come back to it'. Her exams are super hard and she's a tough grader. She posts slides and learning guides, half of which she never covers properly in class. Overall BAD!!

Comment:

Prof. Archer is great biology professor. She is very approachable. She cares so much about her students. She holds many review and Q&A sessions before each exams where she goes over material that students are not sure about. This class is hard so don't even think about skipping it. She is so dedicated to her job as a teacher!

Great professor She is the definition of an educator. She wants you to actually learn and understand the concepts rather just memorize them and take a test on them. I would take all my classes with her if I could.

Archer is very clear and reasonable, although her tests are rather hard. It is important to pay attention to details, as such details will be asked about on tests. She also has an evil laugh.

Keep track of what she writes on the board. Those phrases end up being the most important on the final.

The tests were unnecessarily hard for non-science majors. Plants and People is harder than it sounds.

Archer is interesting- a great lecturer and very clear, but this got annoying quickly. Even though its supposed to be easy she had tricky multiple choice and really annoying homework.

Comment:

Archer is great. She really speaks about things in terms you can understand, always making sure you understand a concept before moving onto the next. Tests always build off of what you've learned in class, so pay attention.
