Comment:

not a very good teacher.. she would get behind on the notes in class and make everyone else behind, i mean it didn't really matter since none of the notes that she gave us were on the test anyways. I'm just glad i got out of her class when i did.

Test are very hard. Gave study guide, but the test was the complete opposite. Given the fact its been 10 yrs since high school maybe if I took a refresher course before her class I may have had a small chance of passing, but highly doubt it.

Greatest teacher I've ever had. Shes nice. Prints out lectures. If you do all the hws and study guides for the test, you'll pass. Shes hilarious to joke around with. Shes willing to come in early or stay after class to help you.

horrible teacher, especially for an online class. Never interacted with the class and was a very lazy grader. The assignments made no sense, I do not recommend her if you end up with her as your teacher.

Comment:

I am currently taking her online human bio class. I do recommend this course if the only knowledge you have of biology is what you learned in high school. She was helpful towards the beginning of the semester but now she will take over a week to respond to my emails which is frustrating when you have important questions. I am planning on dropping.

I was only in her class 3 days and I switched to a different class. She's all over the place when it comes to teaching. I mean shes a great teacher to people who already understand the material but to someone who doesn't really know much but high school bio it will be super difficult to stay on top of things in her class.

Comment:

Great teacher if you are already familiar with the info or have a interest in Bio She is willing to help but she's kind of intimidating if you ask questions on info as if she expects you to know the answer already Over half of the class dropped after midterms Test are hard,study guides have no direction just vague read the lab book makes more sense

Comment:

This class was by far one of the hardest I have taken in my college career. HOWEVER, Susan is accessible and genuinely cares about her students' success. Her snarkiness and sarcasm are just a dry sense of humor, but she's a very warm person. If you go to her (prepared), she will put in the time to help you. Find some classmates, form a study group.

Comment:

THIS CLASS IS HARD.. the material is. Ms. Wadkowski knows her Biology and will do her best to teach you. You really have to work and study to get a good grade. She gives Learnsmart assignments due before every class. A quiz online every week. All hw is due before the test. It is a lot of work but USE HER TEST STUDY GUIDES!!! They helped me a lot.

Susan is an amazing teacher. She's very understanding, she have quizzes every week. Homework is done before every exam which could be from more than on chapter. But I so wish she could teach A&P so I can have the chance to take her again. Amazing. Amazing. Amazing

Wadkowski is a hard professor, but she cares about her students and makes the class bearable. I took her for biology for the health technologies. Personally, her class was the only class that prepared me for A & P 1 and 2 with Doctor Landis. I still see her around Lakeland and she still smiles .Like any other class you have to work hard & be there.

Comment:

I took her biology class during the summer, very accelerated!!!! If you aren't very familiar (which I wasn't) with the material expect to be studying a lot after and before class. There was a quiz every day and 1 test every week. I did learn lots of new things in this class and she makes it so want to learn them!!!

Susan is not just going to hand out A's and B's for free, but she provides you with absolutely everything you need to get a good grade in her class. If it's not in the textbook, it's in the lecture. If you didn't hear it in lecture, read your text. I won't say it was easy, but I will say that it was reasonable and pass-able IF you put the time in.

Always 5-10 minutes late for class! Make it worst the door is locked forcing us to stand in the hall when all the other teachers at that end of the hall are nice enough to unlock the door for their students! Not Susan! Didn't grade the journal article summaries UNTIL THE DAY BEFORE GRADES WERE DUE! Other wise nice lady and seems to love biology.

Attendance is key! Pay attention! Study, study study, and don't be afraid to ask questions! Understanding the material and definitions are the keys to this course. Professor Wadkowski is always available to help you. She makes this difficult subject(Biology for the Health Technologies) as simple as she can.

I took this as an online class because it was required and I currently do not have the time to sit in class due to certain home situations. Over the course, I emailed the professor many times (at least a dozen times) with the proper formatting she said she'd reply to in her syllabus. I only got a reply on the first week of classes then silence.

Comment:

Great professor! Very knowledgable and seems to really love biology. Her tests are pretty hard, but if you put in the effort to study you will get an A. Quizzes each week on blackboard which will be timed. The quizzes are easy but make sure to look over your notes still and to have good internet connection. Besides that, great class!
