Georgianna is not only a bad Professor but she is also a terrible person. She truly does not care about her students learning in class or success outside of school. She deserves to be fired.

Comment:

I am going to be brutally honest. This is the third online class I have taken, and its the worst I have ever experienced. The fact that biology has to be so cryptic due to the professor purposely making it difficult, is so upsetting. If you like unhelpful professors and like to do poorly on exams, have poor to no study guides, then take this class.

Comment:

I would not recommend her as an instructor to anyone. She is extremely unorganized with her work and does not teach. Her only aid was to read the 430 page book and gave a "study guides" too vague to help. In addition, most assignments were busy work that did not flow with the class. I could've saved my money and bought the book and learned more.

Comment:

If youve never taken online courses, DONT start with this one. Shes incredibly unorganized and does not post at the same time or even on the same day each week. Each weeks assignments and lectures are swamped with readings and extra videos that become overwhelming and confusing. The assignments also seem poorly put together at times

Comment:

worst bio class I have ever taken. saunders is a sweet lady but her teaching style doesn't reflect the tests, and the way she organizes things makes no sense. had to pay $50 for an online way of quizzing the class and we maybe used it 3 times. you are not allowed to leave until everyone finishes a test. took bio the year before in hs and did worse

Comment:

She will not answer any emails or questions. She can be very disrespectful towards students, and is amazing at wasting time. Also the quizzes and tests are hard because her lectures are irrelevant because she is usually off topic. This class should not be a gen ed, and I dont recommend taking this course with this teacher.

Comment:

She is very disrespectful and awful at teaching. Nothing she lectures about is on the tests and quizzes and she grades very unfairly. She is hard to get in touch with and does not respond to emails. I highly recommend NOT taking this class.

Comment:

If you were to combine every comment from every other post about Dr. Saunders on here, I can confirm it is 110% true. Definitely a no go! I was a straight A student in high school coming into college thinking my Gen Eds I will be able to manage, but this class makes me want to throw up every time I walk into her lecture.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!!! I read the reviews last year and I still chose to take this class. HUGE mistake. I am taking online. The online assignments are easy. However, the tests will bring your grade down. I study for every test and get all A's in all my other classes but I have failed all of her tests. She does not understand, this is a GEN ED

Comment:

Professor Saunders is terrible. She should not be teaching a GEN ED class she honestly shouldn't be teaching at all. Her test are almost nothing taught, in the vocab or in the book, and her quizzes are graded unfairly and terrible. Easily the worst teacher I've had in my life.

Comment:

She should not be teaching Gen Ed Biology. This is some next level material. Incredibly boring lectures, she is very vague. The test will be half of what she talked about, and half of things she never mentioned or you can't find in the text. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. Hard for no reason.

Comment:

This course is graded mainly on tests and discussions. The material on the test rarely is anything she teaches. This is one of the hardest classes I've ever taken which is sad considering it is a Gen Ed. Would not suggest taking a class with her.

Comment:

honestly taking this online was really not that bad and she's really good with giving you good information about the tests. Her case studies are easy and she answers her emails pretty quickly (if you do it in the span she mentions in the syllabus.) I would recommend taking this online if you can. The only annoying part is her test-time availability

Comment:

This class was painful to attend. Very boring and dry lectures. A lot of unnecessary work for a GenEd. You can get an A, but it does require studying outside of class. The final is optional. Wouldn't take again, just because it was so tedious.

Comment:

Dr. Saunder's class is passable if you work for it. I found the amount of work unreasonable for a GenEd course, but you can make an A. She does enjoy a good trick question, and is very particular when grading tests and quizzes. I recommend a different professor for BIO101, but if you must take her, print out the powerpoints for studying and notes.

Comment:

Participation points are taken on TopHat, you HAVE to show up for this class or otherwise you will most definitely fail. The entire grade book is quizzes and tests. Quizzes are completely essay questions. Tests are multiple choice, but even studying your hardest, you won't know the answers. She is not personable and doesn't care if you do well.

Comment:

She just rambles about whatever she feels like. Then the tests feel like she is trying to trick you the entire time. She doesn't care if anyone knows what the heck she's talking about, she just goes on. Tells you to look up everything you actually need to know online for yourself.

Comment:

THIS CLASS IS VERY HARD. She reads from the powerpoints and doesn't explain topics well. The class is based on the grades from your test and the tests rarely cover things she actually taught.
