Comment:

After having to withdraw from my completely online class with another professor i was nervous to take Bio again. To my surprise the hybrid class with Heather was not as bad as the 180 page power point , teach yourself online class i withdrew from. Heather is patient and always willing to explain things 1:1 if you are struggling. Great teacher.

I loved taking Intro to Bio with Heather! She's so funny and engaging, I had no trouble paying attention (as someone with attention problems, that's saying something)! Her lectures are so informative that I would say the textbook is unnecessary if it weren't for the Reading Activities that you need the book for. I highly recommend taking her class!

Comment:

By far my favorite professor in all of my college career. She is determined to help you understand the material & contact of the class. She does not tolerate slacking or skimping/cutting corners to come up with answers. She respects your privacy but requires attention in lectures/classes. She is very Intelligent, caring, & always willing to help!

Heather was is very approachable and will help you if you are struggling. I feel like I always had alot todo for this class in order for me to prep the exams. Her exams her alot of trick questions to it so be ready to study. Her lectures seemed very inspiring. Her mastering biology assignments and textbook were really confusing and disorganized tho

Comment:

If you're taking a bio class take it with Heather! She is very passionate about this subject and is a master professor at teaching it. Always print out guides before class to follow and complete them during lecture. Has great open study hours and is available easily through email or after class. Lab is easy but the subject is not easy to learn.

She's a pretty good teacher. She's a mile ahead of Tanya, so do yourself the favor and don't sign up with Tanya. For the love of whatever you love. Don't do it. But back to Heather... She's a pretty easy teacher with extra credit on tests. You'll do fine if you do her study guides.

Comment:

This is one of the easier classes I've taken but it does require effort on your part. She gives out a power point, lecture guide, and study guide to print off for every subject that you cover which are all extremely helpful and as long as you use them you will do good on the exams, but this makes the $200 textbook I bought basically worthless.

I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS CLASS OR THIS INSTRUCTOR TO ANYONE. BIOLOGY IS NOT NEEDED TO TAKE THIS CLASS BUT I WOULD RECOMMEND IT. IF YOU READ THE LECTURE AND COMPLETE THE STUDY GUIDES, YOU SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THE TESTS. ATTENDING LAB IS A MUST SINCE THE CLASS IS HYBRID.

Professor Brient-Johnson is simply amazing. While the subject matter is definitely challenging, she goes out of her way to help anyone who is having difficulty grasping the material. Her lectures are wonderful. Keeps your attention from beginning to end. Would take her again in a heartbeat!

I've taken a couple of courses with Heather and she's awesome. Print her powerpoints and study guides before she starts a topic. She plays a lot of funny youtube videos when she can which is always a nice change of pace. Her tests line up with the study guides really well. The guides can be tough, but worth it for your tests. She's really great!

Be sure to take ORGANIZED notes during lecture and on the study guides. lecture guides are helpful, but sometimes too overwhelming & wordy. However, Heather is amazing! She is always available to talk, and explain things over and over again.

Heather is awesome! She provides a very high quality of instruction and so much support. She works hard, shows up early, and grades tests quickly! Her class great example of how awesome community college can be. I will fight any university that challenges these biology credits because I so highly value the education I received from Heather.

Loved this teacher! She provides many ways for you to get help: gives study guides that aren't due, but are there for your benefit, provides common hours after class, is flexible with 101 time, and best of all she has lecture guides that explain the material. This made it super easy, and this is coming from a student who failed college bio once!

Best teacher I have had at the college level very helpful and gives you the opportunity to learn from your mistakes. Efficient way to get a good grade. Did have to spend extra money on any textbooks! Put all pages into a understandable powerpoint online.
