Comment:

Doesn't know what shes saying more than half the time. In order to be a teacher, she needs to learn how to teach well. Her writings on the board is messy, and her explanations are not something u can comprehend with specially during instructions for lab. SHE SUCKS. oh, she also needs a better signature that no one else can forge.

First off, Benson is a SHE not a HE. Easiest class ever. Don't bother purchasing the book; just get the notes. Doesn't require any laborious efforts in studying or memorizing. Just go to class, pay attention, & read over the notes... then voila instant A. There were 3 exams, a final, & 3 extra credit pop quizzes. She also curves the exams.

Her tests are straight from her NOTES that you can buy at the book store. She gives three extra credit quizzes 5 points. The tests are all scantron no written questions! Easiest Biology call you'll ever take. Easy A if you READ and memorize her NOTES you don't even have to understand it.

Comment:

She is pretty boring, but she gives you the notes for the lecture and you pretty much need to study this and you will pass. Tests are multiple choice, and pop quizzes are ec! Lab is sooo easy. I recommend this class, if you dont understand something she will help you. Didnt use my book once!

Comment:

She's pretty easy. All her tests are basically from her notes that you purchase, anyway. And plus, you just go home and read the book if you need to. All her test questions are straight-forward. Her lab is easy too. She might look like she could get a stroke any minute, but she's pretty damn easy. Her only downside is that she is boring somet

Comment:

she stutters a lot. she's a little goofy. clarity is low. but just study the notes and ask questions if you need to and you'll be fine. oh and she's not OLD. she's like 40-50, sheesh. "old" means you're 80. she's middle-aged, people. not OLD. i've always been a good student & i took bio & chem in high school so maybe that's why this is easy for me.

Comment:

If you attend all classes, and just work on her notes, you'll get A for sure w/lots of extra points!! She isn't strick on the attendance and so some studends don't show up her class, but it's a wrong idea . People complaining about her are just lazy ones. She is one of the best professors of PCC. I loved this class and I'll miss her lecture!!

Comment:

Theres a trick to this professor- be nice to her and make sure everyone else is too If some students make fun of her then she will be mad at the whole class so if you see that put those people in check b/c you dont wanna end up with a c just b/c of some immature students and an overly sensitive professor who cant take it So make sure shes happy

Comment:

Her lectures are scatterbrained, often leading her into a repetitive loop. Oftentimes, she will transpose key terms and confuse the class, making the rote learning process that much more difficult. For instance, she might say "sporophyte" when she means "gametophyte". Despite this, if you've done your studying, you should emerge unscathe

Comment:

She was being really hard on the Fall 05 class. I don't know why, but i think it's because of some students who kept on making fun of her. So she took it out on the class. She's a nice person, but her tests r very tricky. Once, she asked a question about the colors of a "Calito cool cats"... Who the **** knows???
