Comment:

I had a difficult time with this course, it seemed unorganized and chaotic. The lecture videos are poor quality with the Professors dogs barking in the background frequently and headphones have to be worn to hear her. Our class was accused of googling answers but I feel the poor test scores were a reflection of poor instruction.

Comment:

Dr. Mahrt was the worst professor that I have ever had in my career! I currently have a teaching degree and have taught elementary for 8 years. I took this class so that I could get into physical education and coaching. I put in so much time into this class and nothing that I did helped when it came to the tests. Average test score was an F.

Comment:

I concur with many of the other posts. Laura was (and likely still is) a lunatic! I have had her both on campus and online. Her professionalism is lacking and she does a great dis-service to EOU's biology program. How she made tenure, I am not sure, but suspect it was due to the "chaniging of the guard" with Denny, Burr, and David's retirement.

I will NEVER take another class from her. Completely useless. Will not return assignments. Does not make sense in class. Does not teach material that will be on tests. Is still teaching but she shouldn't be and I do not recommend taking her class.

Comment:

She is very poor at explaining assignments. Most of class failed the first test and i failed my final.. I missed one class period and studied for hours for each test.. I've never gotten a D or failed a class before. this was very upsetting and I was even really interested in the material. Her tests are worthless. Memorization and little concepts...

Why is she a professor!!! She is crazy! She makes EOU look bad. She says very inappropriate thing?s in class and is not helpful. EOU is a great university, but they need to take another look at this professor! I have never ran into a student that liked her as a teacher. Don?t take her classes.

oh god...don't know what to say. took this distance ed and family insisted i use earphones for lectures she is that annoying. not a recommended class. she is obviously smart but has little or no common sense. EOU needs to take a good look at their instructors...makes EOU look bad also.

This professor has incinuated cheating on students when this was not the case. (And she was not the professor for this class.)-Threats were verbalized to kick students out of the University...What do we do with false accusers?

Comment:

Dumps huge amount of work on student. Nothing to focus on. Watch power point, listen to lecture, and take tests. This class was about animal behavior but we focused entirely on scientists and very little on animal behavior. Course title deceiving. History of Scientists would be a better title. Very disappointed.

Laura is a tricky professor. She does make to try to trick you. She is kind of a screwball. Somedays is a fun screwball, other times not. You just never know which Laura will show up to class taht day.

Comment:

professor mahrt does not clearly explain the corse work. She makes the test tricky, and not based on the material given to study. She is rather cooky, and has a different personality everyday. She may be happy one day, and mad the next. over 75% of my class recieved an F on the first test, due to confusing questions. I would not recommend her class

Comment:

Took the class distance ed. Challenging but the professor was extremely helpful and the class was very interesting. I highly recommend distance ed with this professor as she is highly responsive to the needs of her students. Like all A&P classes you have to study hard to get a good grade!

Don't take this class by Distance. You will score higher on campus. Actually, don't take any classes by distance at EOU because you will score higher grades on campus. I know.

Deffinelty unique. Her high energy and nasaly voice are sometimes hard for people to deal with, but she has a good grasp of what she teaches, and an excitment which cannot be topped.
