Dr. Addy is by far one of the best professors I have ever had. She really cares about how you do in the course and is extremely approachable. The team-based learning helped you master the content, so don't be afraid of it! Her grading system also allows you to acheive a grade that suits your preference. If you choose to get an A, get ready to work!

Great prof!! Understands that you have other classes and really tries to be accommodating of that! Does have a lot of assignments but she gives you great feedback and lets you resubmit 4 if you don't pass on your first go. Great courses overall :)

Dr. Addy is such an amazing professor and one of the kindest people you'll come across. She is will do her best to help you and make accommodations. Took 453 and 435 with her and they aren't easy. Require lots of work and are usually application questions but keep on top of things and you'll be fine. Grade didn't depend on the group at all.

This class was not an easy A but Dr. Addy is a true gem! She is kind, respectful and is understanding and helps you out to make sure everyone does well. She listens to feedback quite well. She is an amazing lecturer and does her best to be engaging. Team work may not be for everyone but not her fault, good balance between team work and lecture.

I prefer individual work, got a bad team so got a bad grade. I would take another bio class, specially ecology ones they are easier compared to this one

Amazing prof, did her best to make sure everyone understood. Best prof in my whole bio degree. Still not an 'easy A', lots of homework+ readings. Tests mostly written and sometimes marked kind of harsh. Still great prof. Lots of group work so depends on group you get too.

She is a really good prof who cares about the students. Amazing lectures. Very clear and concise. This class is not that bad if you keep up with it and tests were very fair with whatever she spoke about. Having taken a couple other cmmb and zool classes , i loved this class.

It's clear that she really cares about her students and their learning. She is a lovely person and is very approachable if clarification is needed. Student concerns were discussed and addressed with understanding and compassion. Would highly recommend her for any course. She truly cares about the content and genuinely wants students to do well.

Dr Addy is one of my favourite profs I have taken a biology course with. She is super helpful, and nice. Her tests correspond with the lecture material and if you put in effort you can do well. She is a nice person :)

Dr. Addy was an amazing professor to have. Compared to other biology courses she tries to engage the class more than simply having lectures in class. While there may be more work involved (e.g. quizzes in class) her engagement helps make the material easier to learn.

Great Prof, Best I've had for a biology class so far. Interesting class and Addy makes it fun as well. Do all readings and go to class and you'll do fine.

She has changed the format for this course, I just did not enjoy this format at all. The group work every class (not everyone in your group is enjoyable), quizzes, reading guides and the VERY ambiguous labs (designed so that you HAD to ask the TA for answers, not in textbook, or on google). I also felt as though I didn't learn as much as I wanted

She's a good prof, passionate about what she's teaching. Attendance is mandatory however because she doesn't post notes online at all. Tests are super easy if you study. Easy A :)
