Comment:

Class was easy-easy-easy A for transcripts if you need a Science class. It was a bit more like a sex education class. Surprised this class is allowed (played with condoms, watched woman having baby). Not much science so beter grab this one before they don't offer it anymore.

Comment:

Fun & easy class. She doesn't seem to be particularly knowledgeable-often unsure about this and that, and some of the questions on the exam are about things that weren't taught. Timewise, she isn't very organized-she can lecture about a 2-minute topic for half an hour and talk for only 10 seconds about something more important. Overally, she's fun.

Comment:

She's fun and lively. But she tends to be unsure or unclear when answering many questions that are asked in class. Also, when discussing a certain topic, she has a habit of beating a dead horse. She'll spend 15 minutes talking about something that could have been explained in 2 minutes. But overall I still think she's good!

Comment:

Dr. Shriver is a good professor and this class is a very easy Bio class. Some questions on her exams are a bit ambigous but in general the average is in the 80's. Not to hard to get an A in the class if you study for like 2 hrs per exam!

Comment:

Outside of class she is unhelpful and ingnores students. She messed up my final grade and refuses to reply to my emails or fix the situation even after providing proof. I'm thinking about complaining to the department. Seems to be completely unorganized. I give her a D-.

Comment:

Dr. Shriver is very invested in ensuring students understand the material, and makes sure to stress sexual health and prevention/education/screening for males and females. Class environment is very open and she makes it an environment where *all* are comfortable. You'll learn a lot, and enjoy it.

She is awesome because she realates everything to everyday life, and actually teaches you things instead of just making you print out notes. I would recommend any class she teaches, ever.

best class ever. shes funny as hell. she edited the textbook, so all lecture material is there. a lot of this is common knowledge; the rest is easy to memorize. there's really no reason anyone shouldn't get an A in the class.
