Very good professor is always willing to work with you if you show up and put in effort. The material is extremely challenging but she tries to make everything fair. Exams are difficult and so are practicals but all in all she is an awesome professor that cares about her students

Dr. Durstin is an amazing Professor! She actually cares about the success of her students. However, you are only graded on tests and quizzes in Durstins class. On the bright side, she provides an outline of the chapter and notes that are truly a great study tool. She is also available to help, and quite brilliant. Bio 1102 with Durstin was great!

Dr. Durstin is a good professor. The course material is not difficult, however, her wording choice makes exams quite tough. Sometimes she confuses the whole class explaining things and it can get frustrating. If you review your notes daily you should be fine. Make sure you speak with her, she's very caring and notices effort.

Dr. Durstin is like a computer. She's very intelligent and knows what she is talking about. I've taken her before and I'm excited to take her again. I learned a lot in this class.

This is the pre-med bio so unless you are a science major or it is required, I wouldn't take it. I am pre-med so it was required for me. She's probably the best biology teacher I've had and she's funny and so incredibly nice. She only tests on what she lectures in class so you don't need the book necessarily.

Awesome professor. I dreaded taking a lab science but she has actually made bio my favorite class. She is clear and very willing to help. Her notes are straight forward so even if you miss a few classes, get the notes and you'll be fine. She offers a LOT of bonus points on exams and quizzes so it's honestly hard not to do well! Take her class.

Awesome teacher, show up to class, take notes, study, and you'll be fine. Best part is you don't even have to buy the text book!

She's given extra help after class which makes it extremely clearer. Shes definitely not bad looking which keeps the interest in class. The work is difficult, but she'll stay after to help and even give tips on study habits.

She is very nice, but by no means easy. I would not take it with her,if i knew it was going to be this hard. You can study and think you know what is going on..then the test comes and your like. WHAT!?!?! She can teach. she explains stuff well but good luck figuring out what she will test you on. I got a c and i studied more than any other class.

I didn't understand what was going on and once that happened, it just got worse. So I dropped the class.

my only gripe is that she doesn't maintain order over the students; has to repeat the lecture 5 times for everyone to get it, stupid people talking makes it hard to pay attention. Labs are kinda 7th grade
