The decision
Key questions
Is this an easy A?
Many students report A or A+ grades with simple work, extra credit, and even some comments saying the class is an easy A.
Both formats look grade-friendly, but in-person reviews provide much stronger easy-A evidence.
Is the course easy?
Most reviews describe the material, labs, and assignments as easy or manageable, though a few say the class is disorganized or faster in harder biology courses.
Online reviews call the work quick and not too difficult, while in-person reviews range from very easy labs to a few harder test-heavy classes.
Is attendance flexible?
Most reviews mark attendance as mandatory or stress showing up, though a few courses allow optional attendance.
Online attendance varies, while in-person reviews more often mark attendance as mandatory.
Is this professor recommended?
She is widely recommended for being caring, engaging, and generous, but repeated disorganization complaints lower the score.
Both formats are mostly positive, but the negative organization complaints come mainly from in-person reviews.
