Dr. Marrs has been one of my favorite professors in my college experience. She is funny and really cares about students' grades. She is always willing to talk with students outside of class and is really easy to get to know. Her lectures are super clear and understandable, and she gives lots of interesting facts to go with the textbook knowledge.

She is honestly a real teacher. She's caring, funny, dorky, and adorable. There's also extra credit opportunities and as long as you do fine on the lab (also extra credit) and attend recitation (will definitely get an A most likely) you will still end up with a solid score, just make sure not to slack off!

I literally adore this woman. She's incredibly sweet and she makes herself available to her students that need extra help. Breakfast clubs were pretty helpful, too (especially if you want brownie points lol). Just come to class and take notes, go over the general topics beforehand, and take advantage of all the resources she posts to canvas.

Dr. Marrs is the sweetest professor you will have! She is willing to help you in anyway to help you pass. She is also very straight forward with what she expects of you and does not accept less. The exams are kind of challenging, but manageable if you study effectually. She always is prompt with putting grades in and quick to fix a mistake.

Dr. Marrs is an amazing woman and amazing teacher! She is always there to help if need be or to just talk and get to know her students. My time for k101, especially for incoming freshmen is to study!!! I came into this class thinking I didn't need to study because I took AP bio and this is not the case. Do yourself a favor and use the study area

Dr. Marrs is an amazing professor and a wonderful person. She has a true passion for biology which is evident in the way she conducts her lectures, and her positive energy is contagious. She makes it very clear which material will be on exams, and all test material is pulled directly from lecture PowerPoints, which are easily accessible on Canvas.

Dr. Marrs is an excellent professor and a caring person. She gives lots of little test hints during lecture, and the tests are straight from the lecture PowerPoints which are posted on Canvas. It's just a lot of memorization, though. Dr. Marrs makes lecture fun and loves Nobel Prize week and sharing interesting news stories that she finds.

Get ready to memorize. Everything that you will have to know on any test will be from the powerpoint to memorize. Class is organized. Yet, I feel like its structured awkwardly. Everyone loves Dr. Marrs, I didn't really enjoy her vibe. Easy as hell. If you're not getting an A on the exams, you're doing something wrong. Reflect on it.

Dr. Marrs is a caring, dedicated professor who wants her students to like what theyre studying. I enjoyed all her lectures and tried my personal best to stay motivated during some passive topics; Mrs. Marrs always made it as interesting as possible! I hope to be in one of her other courses too, I highly recommend her! Thank you Dr. Marrs!

Dr. Marrs was great and was one of the sweetest people I have ever met. She always made time to listen to everyone and give them feedback. She made my first semester of college feel super welcoming and if I ever have the chance to take a class with her again, I will!

Overall, this was a good course and Dr. Marrs was a good professor. At moments it was a tough class. I certainly spent a lot more time studying for this class compared to the time I spent on any of my other classes this semester.
