Comment:

By far one of the nicest professors at MJC. Shes super easy to talk to and ask questions, exams are very difficult , although she does say this in the beginning of the semester. Beware of lab practicals, those are even harder than exams. Lectures are decent, I suggest recording anything in class anything and everything will be on those exams.

Comment:

No one I knew in the class got higher than a C on any of the exams. She closes the online module on Fridays so you don't have the weekend to work on it. Her exam questions are very twisted and confusing compared to what is on the study guide.

Comment:

Her online lectures were just her robotically reading directly off the PowerPoint; thrown-together & hard to follow. This class is just memorizing vocabulary words, yet she cant present/teach the content in a digestible manner. She often LEAVES lab & wastes time/goes off-topic when she's actually present. Shes unorganized & makes a lot of mistakes.

The course itself it fine. Well organized. Easy to follow and understand. Terrible communicator though! Don't expect to get responses to any of your questions, whether they are sent in e-mails, online discussions, nothing!

Comment:

With this being a hybrid class it was difficult because while we had to do the lectures ourselves and the lab in class the tests were extremely difficult. You have 3 exams and a final (online). I only passed one of the exams with a 70 and my group was the same. The labs you just show up every week and do. BEWARE of the exams. She was fine.

Comment:

I took her online class. It was easy and fun. She definitely went out of her way to create videos and power points for her students. It made it easier for me to engage in the material because I'm an auditory learner. She does take weeks to grade. The tests are difficult so take good notes.

By far the easiest online class Ive ever taken! Her online lectures are everything you need for the homework and quizzes. You dont even have to read the textbook!

She is a fun professor with a ton of energy. The labs are always interesting and she is very knowledgeable. The workload wasn't heavy at all but the tests were on the more difficult side. Be sure to study for those.

exams are built straight from the lectures. Please don't procrastinate studying, even though you just need to know the power points, it can be overwhelming at times. If you have questions, she will give you an excellent response

Professor McInnes a is a wonderful professor. She is a walking textbook. She makes the class fun. Her labs are fun and easy. However, her exams are extremely difficult. I took the Hybrid class and those exams where much easier. I would take her again!

Comment:

Professor McInnes is a great professor. She is funny and really knows biology and manages to make it not boring. Her assignments are not too difficult, and her classes are an easy B or A. You must make almost all lab meetings because if you don't you miss out on the labs, which are a good portion of your grade. I'd recommend her anytime.

McInnes will make you work for your grade, but will also appreciate hard work. Expect weekly quizzes, and anything is fair game on the exams. Study hard and often. After this class you will not look at plants the same way. Amazing professor, with a real passion for botany.

Comment:

As any biology class would be, BIO 111 with McInnes was tough. However, she made the lectures interesting. McInnes is insanely smart-- she knows so much about everything, it seems. I took a hybrid course, but the majority of tests were in lab. 1 quiz weekly and homework packet due every few weeks. Hefty course, but very fascinating.

She is an amazing professor. She's very organized and gives great lectures. She is so clear in whatever she assigns. She wants you succeed. She is always there to help you. Make sure to read the book and learn her lectures well, then you will do great in class. You will learn so much about plants and how to collect and press them.

This is an awful class. She recycles the lectures from semester to semester. She takes forever to grade and no rhyme or reason for her grades. Her tests are horrible and some seem to pull material from other places than lecture or reading. She does not answer emails. Don't take this professor.
