Comment:
She's the sweetest professor at Davidson. Even though she knows nobody is there for the science, she makes class and lab fun. Her tests demand attention to her lecture notes, but are fair. She's extremely receptive to student ideas and questions too, both about the material and any accommodations students may ask for.

Professor McNally gives very clear lectures . She does not give a lot of homework but she does give lots of readings. You won't regret taking her class.

Comment:
Dr. McNally is one of the sweetest professors and always willing to help but this class is no joke. I thought that I could take this class as a requirement but it became the hardest class I have taken at Davidson to date. The lectures and information are really interesting but the tests are really difficult. I had to work really hard to get a C+.

Took her for Microbes and for Human Bio. I did not do so well in Microbes fall of freshman year because I did not realize how much I had to study! But if you put it in the effort McNally makes it doable. Helpful, nice, and makes all the material easy to understand.

An excellent way to knock out the lab science. Dr. McNally is incredibly nice, an excellent teacher, and fair grader. Labs are often interesting, tests are detail-specific.

McNally is the best teacher I've had at Davidson so far because she actually teaches and does it well. Make sure to read the text for clicker questions. The tests are far from easy so make sure to know all of the material from the text, lectures, and assignments. I loved this class and want to take another one from her!

Comment:
The class was actually more exciting than I expected it to be. She's very helpful and understands that people are not always very interested in bio for this course. But you've gotta know your stuff for the tests...no joke. Gotta explain everything in detail and just know it. She makes no bones about that. Fun generally, but labs suck. Loooong.

she is one of the most engaging professors i have ever had in my life. i was taking the bio 103 class just to get rid of one of my core requirements but now i'm even thinking about majoring or minoring in bio, she makes the class so interesting and she makes sure that people understand the concepts she is explaining, exams are challenging but fair

Like a breath of fresh air! Super nice and helpful. Not super difficult (labs especially easy), but you can't b.s. your way through tests. Wished I could have had her for more courses!

Passionate about the subject. Unfortunately, sometimes it seems that she expects everyone to remember everything, but she's just doing her job--and doing it well.
