Comment:

Expect to give 15-20 hours of work in this class. The teacher isn't very reasonable and is not tech savvy by any means so expect issues with the course work. She will require that you print out papers every week( bio teacher that likes wasting paper???).She is very knowledgeable in the subject and if you put forth the effort you will learn a lot.

This class is very difficult! You will have to remember multiple short answer questions she expects for you to remember every detail. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!

Comment:

One of the hardest classes I have taken but not because of the way the class was taught. Dr. Mason does a thorough job of giving you what you need to pass. Goes over the lab questions so you know what she is expecting, & she literally gives you the short answer questions ahead of time. Hard, but show up every time willing to listen & you'll be fine

Very good. Provides you with a lot of materials to study and learn from. Lectures aren't too bad but sometimes drawn out for 3 hours. Occasional quizzes. Lab assignments not bad make sure you're thorough. Goes over "short" answers for test. Study matching, posted notes and you'll be fine. Lab tests not bad, can have 1 sided flashcard with answers.

Comment:

Professor Mason is a great professor to take for Biology. You can tell that she really has a passion for what she teaches. She is a tough grader, but she is just trying to make sure that your information is accurate. Her lectures are really informative, and she makes connections to the real world.

Comment:

This professor is a very tough grader. Expects wayy too much from students. The short answers are super long and take days to memorize. Do not take her! The tests have both short answers and 50 questions of MC. It is impossible to do good if you dont memorize everything. It is a very hard class, dont take her if you have any other classes.

By far one of the hardest class I have ever taken. She is a very tough professor. Expects way too much from students. The tests are too overwhelming and impossible to do good on.

Comment:

This class is difficult. One thing that I like that she does is give you a study guide for the tests, but you are so busy trying to memorize the LONG short answer questions that you don't dedicate enough time to study for the multiple choice. She's okay but I also did find myself not asking questions because she made you feel dumb when answering it

Be prepared for a ton of reading, studying, memorization, and homework. I took her hybrid class (It was best for my schedule) and it was a lot of work. You'll have to make time for daily homework and studying. She is very smart and is willing to answer emails and questions. But she doesn't allow excuses for missing work. Be prepared for this class!

Mrs. Mason is a great teacher! I took her over the summer and it was a lot of work but she makes the material somewhat easy to understand. She does Kahoots. Tests are mult choice & LONG short answers. She's clear on what to memorize for the short answers. Do the Learnsmarts and participate and you'll do fine! She's willing to help if needed.

This class requires a lot of work but she provides you with literally everything you could possibly need to learn. She post really helpful notes online and lets you know exactly what answers she expects for short answers on tests. Very knowledgeable and seems to enjoy her field of study. Loved her!

Comment:

She is an amazing professor. Yes, her lectures sometimes get boring, but she finds cool ways to demonstrate different models in biology. Lab and lectures are mandatory and she is a very strict grader. She takes lab very seriously and there is a lab midterm and three lecture tests. If you pay attention and put effort into the class not hard to pass.

Comment:

If you get a question wrong she will correct you almost harshly, just almost. Lab is no joke. Must attend. Same with lecture. Lots of vocabulary to remember. IMO, if you're a part time student and/or have a job, really consider this class/teacher. Must be textbook-specific with your answers, mainly in tests. Not really enthusiastic about her class.

Amazing. 3 tests with free response questions and an overall lab test. Gives you the answers to all frqs and multiple choice all you have to do is pay attention in lecture and you'll pass. She's a tough grader, but tells you what she expects. She writes her own notes and they're very helpful in understanding the material. 10/10 highly recommend

Comment:

She is a great professor but she is a tough grader and her lectures do get very boring. She provides ppt notes, her "hopefully helpful professor notes" (they really are), and videos to help you better understand the chapters. 3 quizzes & 3 exams-2 parts. She gives you the Q's & A's for one part of exam. The only way you'll fail is if your don't try
