Comment:

PC is very friendly, funny, and social. She does a great job of explaining labs while also not hand-holding. Can be a tough grader, but it's usually pretty fair. Loved her, she made the class interesting. I was doing so well in lab, it saved my overall lecture grade!

I took PC for bio 111 lab. She is a tough grader but a good teacher. She's very kind and always willing to help. She explains anything that you don't understand.

A fun lady but not great at explaing labs or what she wants in the reports. Often left feeling confused and unprepared.

Not very helpful...she always had corrections on the labs that she never specified about in the first place. An alright instructor, but didn't really like our class I don't think.

Horrible. Absolutely horrible. She was never around and impossible to get in touch with. Questions could never be answered. She packed the class so full of transparency lectures there was never any time for questions.

Comment:

Not very clear, some people were convinced that she simply didn't like them. She was understanding and helpful. However, she'd always find something wrong with your labs; even if you went for help before handing it in!!!!
