Comment:

Super animated in lectures! You can tell that Dr. Barbeau is very passionate about the course content. Attendance is important because she will frequently point out topics that would make a good midterm/exam question, and she follows through with these suggestions! Overall, a very effective professor who fueled my passion for bio even further.

Myriam is a wonderful prof and really cares about her students. If you put the effort in and go to her when you have a problem with the material you will do great! It's a little intense at times but worth it !

Comment:

She gives lots of detail and description in class, which is very helpful. She also gives heavy hints about what she's going to test on. There are a lot of projects and it's a lot of work, but she doesn't mark too hard and will help you in any way if you ask.

Really nice professor- she is super nice and willing to help you if you are struggling. Go to her classes if you want to do well (like you should with any other class) overall super friendly woman and you can tell she is passionate about her area of study.

Myriam is an amazing prof who really cares about her students. She expects a lot but is more than willing to help. She's actually a relatively easy marker, despite the amount of work she gives and the high expectations in that regard.

Comment:

She is never in the lab and isn't really too helpful if you do make an appointment to ask quesitons. You have to know ALL of the concepts and all of the processes with a clear understanding to do well. Tests are very tricky. Just hope that you get a good TA...

Comment:

She is never in class and her exams are extreemly hard. You can be doing close to 10 on ever lab and do really bad on the exam. I don't find her a good prof at all.

Comment:

Never in the class, yet she decides what is on tests/midterms/finals. Result? There are some questions on the exam that you've never seen before. Let the TA's help make up the tests, since they teach the class. Then we'll be tested on what we learned instead of what someone thinks we learned.

Hate her! She was never in the lab. Her mid-terms and final were impossible! The TA's should make the exams. They know what we learned! NOT HER!

Easy class, but hard exam. Barbeau never attends the labs and is not a very good teacher.

Comment:

It is impossible for a prof that you see once a year to make a fair exam. The TA's are wonderful and very helpful but they have nothing to do with the exams. If she doesn't care enough to even come into the classroom then she shouldn't be the instructor.

She does nothing, and can be mean - Another guy and me coudn't write the midterm b/c we had another the same night, so she rescheduled us for the next morning at 7:00 am! When did we study? We couldn't.

Well, I only see her once a year...but...the midterms and finals are quite unfair...and extremely difficult...the labs themselves are okay...I found I didn't learn much frome the labs

I agree, maybe if we saw her more then once then she would know what was unclear about her labs. her midterms test on everything (sometimes random things). She nees to teach her TA's to mark better and more CONSISTENTLY.

Comment:

I found that I had lots of time to finish all the required work.. and often was done with an hour to spare.. the trick to acing this course is to read the labs before hand and for the midterm and final.. know your stuff!! She test on understanding.

I found the lab very hard...you have to do a bunch of different things each lab, you hardly have time to finish your questions. I thought the exams were unfair and very hard.
