very caring, wonderful professor. she is very helpful if you need extensions or extra help. Its pretty hard to catch up if you skip class (Take it from me, its hard). Not very many tests and they make up the whole grade.

Nice professor, tough grader. You really need to study as the majority of your grade is based on tests. And go to class! Trust me, I wish I'd done these things.

Comment:

Lopilato is great! I've had her for three classes now. Her lectures can be a bit boring, but her tests are really fair, and if you have skimmed the reading and really memorized the powerpoints you'll do very well. She is a bit spacey sometimes, but has a heart of gold. Very approachable.

Comment:

I heard Cell is a LOT easier with Jane than Owen. Study mostly from lecture, read the book occasionally and you'll do fine. Exams and "quizes" (which are as long as exams but easier) are fill in blanks, multiple choice, short answers. She's pretty good and a very nice person. I recommend her.

She is really nice just a little ditzy at times. Can fly off the handle on VERY rare occasions. If it is a choice between her & Owen take Owen's version of the class.

Comment:

A little scattered with the way she thinks. Sometimes she is very hard but always helpful even one on one. Great in the lab you really learn the information and cover a lot of the material, more than you would in most colleges.
