Comment:

I took this course over summer (8 weeks) and it was definitely not easy. It was a LOT of work and a LOT of memorizing/learning, but I did learn a lot taking this class. I studied hard and used Quizlet to help study. Her lectures online lay out what will be on the test, but the tests ARE hard. The homework/labs/quizzes will bump your grade up.

Comment:

The homework questions were harder than the test questions and can be time consuming but helpful. She gives a test review for each test and as long as you understand the review you will do fine on the test. The review is more in depth than the test questions. I made 4 Bs and 2 As on the exams and still got an A in the class bc of hw points.

When reviewing the lab diagrams; be sure to click 'other views' for viewing hidden diagrams. Review multiple choices that comes up for the 4 lab practical hw; be sure to take photos to review for the main exam. Be sure to do the hws to boost your grade. Got an average of 87 % for the 6 tests ; was enough to attain A grade; the homeworks up da grade

Comment:

Study lab quizzes reappears up on the main tests. Felt the main tests were formatted like general knowledge questions; you don't have know the concept of things; you just gotta know random sentences from the highlighted parts of the e-book. The e-book have imp paragraphs highlighted. Know the APR diagrams for main tests.

Comment:

Each of the 6 tests 120 pts worth. I practiced the APR Lab diagrams; around 10 questions worth 20 pts came from the same APR. The rest 100 pts came from highlighted parts in the e-book. Study guide focuses on which pages to read and avoid from e-book. Just read e-book highlighted parts & APR to save time and if you have limited time to prepare.

Her online book has 14 assignments called Learn Smart; you get a 10 for just attempting; worth 130 pts in total. 10 practice lab diagrams called 'APR lab'; no pts. Take home 14 lab quizzes 10 pts each; I googled quizlets for answers and practiced the 'APR lab'; received full pts and 9's. 4 lab worth 40 pts, just attempt it it's easy. Good luck.

Where to start with this instructor? She has awful lecture videos.. her voice is awful and she cares 0 about students. I studied hard for her class and the exams are awful.... you have about 5 choices on a multiple choice exam which I feel is ridiculous an 60 questions each. Everytime I requested to meet with her, she always cancel.

Took her online, not gunna lie barely made my B. Her lectures are good and she does give reviews with things to know, but I feel that even though I did the review thoroughly I had a tough time passing the test. She is good but I struggled.

Comment:

Her lecture videos suck. Chapter Lab homework sucks. I never read the book. Breakdown her study guides and learn the material from YouTube peeps who explain it better. Points based. She tests weird. 60 questions 2 chapters 100 pages. 6 tests on campus. Hard to make an A. If you need and A, don't take this class NO EXTRA CREDIT. OVERWHELMING!

Fall online One chapter a week along with chapter quiz and apr homework. Use your study guide and make sure you review the apr homework because it is on the tests. This is A&P so don't expect an easy A if you're not willing to study. She gives you everything you need to be successful in this course. I work f/t and have children but it was doable.

You WILL NOT regret taking her for BIOL 2401. Her tests are straight from the lectures and from McGraw Hill chapter quizzes. She answers e-mails promptly . Make sure that you do all of her assignments. She does not give extra-credit. I thought that the on-line SUMMER 1 BIOL 2401 was going to kill me, but I survived cause I believed in myself. EASY!

I took this class Spring17. Provides study guides for each exam. You must study or you will not pass. The material from the study guide was on the exams. The class was very organized with weekly due dates. I could've made a higher grade if I studied harder. I got a C because that is what I deserved.

Professor Stall was great. I thought I was going to fail her course but I didn't. If you study and answer her study guides, then you should be good. Make sure to study the labs, as thye will be on the exams. She does not give extra credit.

LOVED THIS CLASS!!! SHE IS AMAZING. I wish if i could take her for 2402 but, I think she is not teaching BIOL 2402. This class wasn't easy but if you study her study guide you can make an A or B :)

Every week you have a lab homework, chapters homework, and an online quiz(10 questions). Every other week you have an exam(50 questions). Homework has many answers for one question. You drive to the college for Exams. 2401 takes about 20 hours a week. Its a monster!!
