Comment:

Her online classes are full of 2-4 hour lectures for each subject and not to mention the limited time for her quizzes and exams. I had her online class so it may be different in person but it's insane how hard she makes the curriculum for online! I suggest not taking this class unless you want to be stressed out for weeks. 4/10 would not recommend

I highly recommend Michele Merritt! I took this class online. She sets you up for success. Everything is explained very well. She gives extra practice material and extra credit! If you do the work you will be fine.

Comment:

First off, I took this course online, so my experience might be completely different from an in-person experience of this class. To sum it up, a teacher should want you to pass and thrive, but she made it very clear that we are "expected to do poorly." If you enjoy HOURS of lectures and very limited time to take tests, then this class is for you.

Comment:

What kind of professor wants to see their students fail? Professor Merritt literally stated to us that this class is not made to PASS the first time, she purposely is setting you up for failure. All quizzes and exams are timed, however, the exams are open note-if you want to listen to her almost 4 hour lectures twice a week. Im very disappointed.

Comment:

My Life science class was online due to Covid but Professor Merritt did a great job! She is VERY thorough when explaining things sometimes it's a bit much but she just wants to make sure you understand the material. Exams and quizzes were still proctored and timed using an online software. She gives plenty of optional extra credit assignments.

She literally played calming music on her wooden flute to calm us down before a test. If you do the online homework you are good to go.

All the homework is online and hard to keep up with sometimes. A lot thrown at you at once. Allowed notecards on exams which helped a lot. Skipping lectures really sets you back
