Comment:

OMG! Warning-Run fast and far from this class and instructor. This class is for non science majors and the amount of work required is unbelievable. Most of the class has a "C" average which says a lot. The tests and quizzes are extremely difficult; almost like the instructor is making it as tough as possible! Sorry I signed up for this class!

Comment:

Insane amount of work is required for this class. So glad that I decided not to take additional classes since there is NO time what-so-ever. Her tests are hard. So far, only 7 people out of 60 are making A's. Good luck if you take her..

Comment:

Do NOT take this class online! There is an insane amount of work for a lab. In addition to completing the labs you are expected to do an entire lab notebook with up to 8 pages for each lab. She does not work with you at all when you have issues. Don't take her class!

Comment:

RUN as fast as you can away from this professor if you're even thinking about taking this class online. The amount of work is INSANE and will take over your life. I'm taking 5 classes, am NOT a biology major, actually a senior in Communication and this class takes at least 70% of my time each week. ABSURD for a basic bio class.

Comment:

I took this course online over the summer, so obviously there is a lot of work. She is very clear on what she wants and is extremely helpful if you have any issues. Just talk to her. Her tests were pretty hard, but as long as you study, it's not a problem. I got an A in the class, so if I can do it, anyone can. I'm awful at Science.

Ridiculous amount of work expected from this instructor. I spent 20+ hours per week on this class and still could not make an A. Avoid this instructor if at all possible.

Can't BS this prof. Prepare for lots of studying. I'm a super high achiever and this class fit me perfectly. All others--prepare to be whipped into submission. Or fail.

Comment:

Online course has a lot of work expecially for a lab. I spent more time on this class than any of my other classes, which are more "important" and should be harder than this one. Can use your lab on online quizzes though so if you do the lab you should be ok. Likes details. If you have time and like to overachieve this is the class for you :)

Comment:

She is a teacher that cares and will work with you if you are trying in the course. She provides extra PPT slide shows and her assignments relate directly to the material you need to know for the exam. And her discussion board can really help you learn the material. I would recommend her.

Good Class. Was time consuming, but instructor expects you to learn (duh!) the material. Enjoyed it and actually learned quite a bit of material!

Comment:

This teacher expects more than should be required for 4 credit hours. Towards the end of the semester she had "spring fever" and did not respond to emails, and then at the end of the semester, right around exams, she was not available. She was not a good teacher.

Hard class to do on line. Instructor knows material well, can't be B.S.ed Should be divided into 2 semesters. I had to put in more than the 3 per/cr.hr. of study, Bio not my thing. "Caution". You have to study for this class

This instructor expects students to work hard in order to achieve their grade. She will help you. Using her discussion board is very helpful. Time consuming course.

This is the HARDEST online class I have ever taken. I am not one to whine about hard work- I have 3 kids, a full time job and love going to school....but this class is TOO MUCH!! Unless you have no other obligations-I wouldn't take Biology from this woman!

Comment:

I needed this class as a catch up to Graduate - I had a 3.95 GPA, this was my final Sr. semester - I got my normal A, A, A then a nice fat C from her. Online class should not be based 90%+ on tests from unknown material - Class average was 78.08% mine was 77%. Very disapointing.

Hard class! I am a distance student and this was the most time consuming class I have ever had. The pace is fast, and if you have other classes, it's hard to make some of the deadlines.
