Comment:

If you want to slack off and not work hard, forget about it. Lammers is challenging in her tests, quizzes and she does ask questions during lecture. She is funny at times but she will not allow students to be lazy. Lab grading is harsh at times but make sure you pay attention to detail. I got an A- but that's only cause I worked my ass off.

Comment:

Don't listen to other people, they are just badmouthing about her. I found her class easy. An A is very manageable. Just read the manual and pay attention in class. Initially, she might look intimidating but she is very nice. And she usually has a TA which just makes it better. Take Her - you will not regret. I love her!

She's a sweet old lady but has one of those soothing monotone voices that puts you to sleep easily. She's also super nitpicky.

Comment:

Lammers knows her stuff. But she is so picky. There are much better out there so I would try not to take her unless you want to work super hard and have it not pay off. She takes off tenths of a point for the littlest thing. She is very nice, but don't make her your first priority.

Comment:

Great teacher and great person but she is very old fashioned and if you mess up at all you have no chance at an A. I got a C- on the first test and A's on the other two and still only got a B+.

Comment:

It's just not worth the time + effort put into the class for a mediocre grade. Quizzes are a bit ridiculous, need to know everything 1 is dropped. Practicals require a lot of studying too. Overall she knows her stuff. No curve because she claims that it is not doing the student a favor because science classes are just going to get harder. Good luck

Comment:

Dr Lammers knows her stuff when it comes to botany. However, she expects you to know just as much as she does. She is a very hard and picky grader who will take off points for questions she will ask AFTER the test is over. She mispronounces some words here and there, but knows everything about botany. She's a sweet lady, but not a good prof.

Comment:

Do not take other professors for BioLab... while Dr. Lammers is a difficult grader and her class will be more challenging at face value, her sheer amount of knowledge on the subject and her high expectations will help you. Sometimes I felt like I knew the stuff and was surprised by my grades, but ultimately if you want to learn, take her.

Comment:

Very not nice professor. Seems to dislike many students because of their gender.Also, she talks to herself quite often and has a love for Victorian Dolls. Class is easy A , but she cannot teach freshmen because her expectactions are too high. She also likes to insult people for fun, no matter what they say. Take someone else for BIO.

Comment:

She is a very nice person. As far as grading goes, her scale is really low, so it is very much possible to attain an A. My friend rarely attended class and he ended up with a B.

Comment:

Dr. Lammers is an excellent educator and can explain complex concepts well. Yes, this class was hard. But nothing will be on the tests that wasn't discussed in class. She's a picky grader, so answer test questions as completely as you can. USE HER OUTLINE TO STUDY!!! Studying in groups isn't a bad idea either.

Comment:

Ok guys. I am a kind of guy who never really tried and still got decent grades. I took biology lab 2 once and i had to drop it because i did so bad. I am taking the class again with dr. lammers and she really makes you pay attention. i'm learning a ton right now simply because she teaches like that and demands it. shes a very nice individual.

Comment:

Most other reveiews are for bio1+2 labs. But DO NOT take her for an upper level class. She is unclear on teaching and relies on her own knowledge. This means the book is useless. Further, her forgetfullness makes it very unclear what you actually need to take from lecture. Sweet old lady...Horrible Teacher. Avoid.

Comment:

Dr. Lammers is at first a stickler, but once you get used to her, you realize that she is ultimately helping you out and making you actually learn the material. She is kind and very helpful outside of class. Also, she makes her expectations clear. What I really like about her is that she actually lectured prior to the labs. Great Professor! A++
