Comment:

By far the worst proffeser I've had at penn college, and I am not usually one to complain. Very unclear and confusing. Quizzes and tests are very difficult. Many students in class have already dropped and the rest are struggling to pass. Says she will email us grades and never does. I have put in great effort in this class and struggle to pass.

Comment:

Literally the worst teacher ive ever had. all of the tests and quizzes are true or false questions that have nothing related to the study guide or was information you were told not to worry about. don't bother asking her a question, she is really rude and condescending. If you're taking her class, I suggest to drop immediately and never look back .

Comment:

I took loads of notes, did almost all the extra credit, and studied the ridiculous amount of materials, and still got low scores. Material barely covered or that we were told not to worry about were often a large portion of the quiz/exam. Any questions were met with condescension. If you take her, prepare for 'gotcha' questions and info overload.

Comment:

Ok, no. Just don't even consider taking a course with her. Feels like the study material doesn't match up with what's on the tests or the questions are formed in the least intuitive way possible.. where even if you know the material you still can't answer somehow. I've spent many hours studying for a D on tests. Also rude responses every question.

Comment:

This teacher has been at Penn College for ages and there are very few people who believe she should still be there. She is very disrespectful to her students and is a very poor teacher. If you do not put in the extra effort outside of class, you will fail.

Comment:

Worst professor I've ever had. Seriously the worst. I never ever recommend taking her. She is unorganized, awful at answering questions. Gives a lot of true & false which aren't as easy as you would think. On top of that students had to correct her on some quizzes that she marked as wrong even though they were right. (This happened more then once)

Comment:

Worse teacher I have ever had. Unnecessary projects that take away time that you could be studying for the class. Makes you feel stupid for asking questions. I emailed her a month ago about a quiz and she never emailed me back or spoke to me in class. Told us everything that was on the quiz and then half of it was stuff we weren't supposed to know.

Comment:

The worst professor I have ever had. Her lecturing skills are terrible. Her notes are even worse. She is so unorganized, you can't follow anything she says. She is very rude. Study packets have nothing to do with the tests. Tests and quizzes all True and False. Just all around a horrible professor. If you know you have her, immediately drop it.

She is by far the worst teacher. She gives no homework. As for tests, if you fail any quizzes or exams, might as well forget passing.

Comment:

Yes, it was a difficult class. She is very knowledgable of the subject matter, which I respect, although she can include a lot in a lecture, which can be massively overwhelming. She DOES offer up to 3% extra credit (which can make a huge difference) as well as reviews for her tests, which not many other professors do.

Comment:

Study guides are nice, but they have a lot of extra information that isnt on the test. If you fail one of the lecture tests, don't plan on getting any grade higher than a C. If you miss class be prepared to be REALLY behind. Doesn't give you enough time to study the material, and is VERY UNORGANIZED.

Comment:

Gives study guides but the study guides and tests have no correlation at all. Gives extra credit which is the only reason I got an 80% in the class. During the final, she gave us TWO tests, yeah TWO. A regular test and then a final in the same day. The last test was on the reproductive system. She gave us the material less than a week before.

Comment:

Absolutely the WORST teacher you could possibly have for biology. She does not teach anything that is relevant to what you need to know to succeed in Bio 125. Shes rude, unorganized, scatter brained, and makes you feel like an idiot for asking any questions. If you decide to take her class, make sure to thank her for wasting your money.

Comment:

She provides multiple chances for extra credit. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT. She puts bonus questions on all tests and quizzes. She will tell you what they will be on before hand. listen and go research them outside of your book. She expects you to be able to apply everything, but she's terrible at explaining and teaching. Kind of a teach yourself course

Oh, PCT put you in Furdock's class? Guess what? They just put you at a SEVERE disadvantage. Not only will you struggle to pass, you'll learn next to nothing. You might as well stay home and teach yourself bio, because that is exactly what you'll be doing. Worst professor ever. Everyone taking her deserves a refund. Good luck gettin in your program!

Hands down the worst professor I've ever had. Completely unorganized & makes you feel stupid if you ask for clarification. Never hands back testsquizzes so grades are impossible to keep track of, extra credit is available but doesn't let you know until it's too late, lec & lab have no connection. ENTIRE class is self taught, don't waste a semester

Worst class I've ever had. The entire class is pretty much self taught, and you have no idea what to focus on. Her "study guides" are useless, and contain overwhelming amounts of material. Practical exams are detailed and very hard. The only way to get by is to do a serious amount of optional assignments, which are also graded. HORRIBLE CLASS.

Comment:

Horrible teacher. Doesn't even have a nice personality. She usually has cocky responses to questions, kinda makes you feel stupid. Loves to create huge packets of notes which she does not go over clearly, you pretty much teach yourself and read from the book. Test and quizzes are hard, I never took a test where 80 questions out 100 were true&false!
