Comment:

I really enjoy her teachings, she stops often to ask if there's questions and WILL take the time to repeat anything you need! Must attend class because ppt are all pictures, but easy to pay attention and take good notes from her lecturing. Weekly quizzes but not much else work. Also gives a few lab quizzes. She expects precise terms on quizzes.

Comment:

Only take this class if u r an "expert" in immunology, genetics, cellbiol + u LOVE & KNOW all types of lab techniques. Don't expect to get much/any context or background information for the primary literature you read. Quizzes r difficult, study guide is ok, reread EVERYTHING before quizzes. Prof is vague & unclear about content, don't take!!!

Dr. Tweeten is a very good teacher. However, if you were to skip class... good luck. She has power points that consist mostly of pictures, so most of the actual information is from her lecture.

AMAZING. Very excited about the subject. She was great and I have nothing else to say except that there are a lot of assignments, no test, bi-weekly quizzes. Work hard, show her that you love the class and you'll get a great grade. That should be easy because she is amazing and makes the class exciting.

She is AMAZING when it comes to asking her for feedback or even for help in anything. She is also very friendly even outside of class. She is not just an easy A but she isn't much of a very tough grader. I seriously learned a lot from her and foundations of bio II

Comment:

Worst professor ever. She could care less if you understand what is going on. She acts as if she is teaching grad students when we are all undergrads and have no clue what she is speaking of. Her weekly quizzes are ridiculous. She expects at least a paragraph for each one point answer. RIDICULOUS. AWFUL.

Comment:

Maybe Tweeten just hates teaching Gen. Bio. She is completely unengaged in the lecture and obviously doesn't want to be there. She answers most questions with, "just pay attention," or "look at the diagram," and a blank stare.
