Key questions
Is this an easy A?
A grades are possible, but comments point to daily studying, self-teaching, limited points, and little extra credit.
All grade-effort evidence comes from in-person reviews, mostly BIO72.
Is the course easy?
The content feels harder because students report disorganized slides, slow lectures, and learning material before it is taught.
In-person BIO72 reviews are negative, while one BIO61 review says biology was easier to understand.
Is attendance flexible?
Students say they attended because of quizzes or participation points, making attendance functionally required.
Only in-person reviews discuss attendance pressure.
Is this professor recommended?
Most students do not recommend her because lectures are slow and the course can become heavily self-taught.
All recommendation evidence comes from in-person reviews, with one positive BIO61 exception.
Course guide
Grading
Strict
30/100
Students mention few graded items, limited points, little extra credit, and the need to study daily.
Format shift
In-person BIO72 reviews drive the strict-grading concern, while BIO61 sounds more manageable.
Workload
Heavy
28/100
The course requires regular self-study, quizzes, and sustained preparation despite some decent homework in BIO61.
Format shift
In-person BIO72 evidence shows heavier workload than the single BIO61 review.
Teaching experience
Poor
42/100
She is described as kind, but repeated comments criticize slow lectures, slide organization, and self-teaching.
Format shift
In-person teaching feedback is mixed, with BIO72 mostly negative and BIO61 positive.
Assessment method
Balanced
52/100
Reviews mention quizzes, tests, participation, homework, and study guides, so assessment appears mixed rather than purely exam-based.
Format shift
Only in-person reviews describe assessments.

Medium confidence · Best fit for Self Taught Pro
In-person reviews show a kind professor, but BIO72 students report slow lectures, self-teaching, quizzes, and limited grading opportunities.
Main concern
The main concern is that students may need to teach themselves while attending class for quizzes or participation.
What students said
“90% of this course was self-taught, and I only came to lecture because we always had quizzes.”
“Her lecture slides are very difficult to follow because they are not in order and the important information is hard to weave out.”
“I only attended for my participation points.”

Exam style
Exam evidence is mixed but generally standard, with reasonable tests and one review noting a study guide plus one index card of notes.
Assessment risk
Standard
58/100
Low score means less forgiving assessment conditions.
In-person reviews mention reasonable tests, study guides, and one allowed index card, but do not clearly prove proctoring or closed-book policy.
“Tests were reasonable, but points in the course are super limited and little extra credit.”
“She also provided a studyguide before exams & allowed 1 index card of notes.”
