She is not helpful at all. She will fly through powerpoints like she is trying to win a race. The class period is only 50 minutes long, but she manages to go through 60-186 slides per class! Dont ever take her! Im a bio major with a gpa way above a 3.00, but she cant teach. Oh, and no quiz or test make ups even if excused. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
ok teach i guess.
The class is not hard at all. If you want to pass jus show her that your trying and willing 2 work hard.For test & quizzes all the answers are in the PowerPoints used.All you have to do is study and pay attention.she gives simple work to help your grade.one page paper here and there on a movie. EASY.Plus,she gives extra credit for coming to class.
I took her for anatomy. She is easy. Her tests are like the slides. The test arent hard if you pay attention and read. Plus she gives extra credit questions on every test & quiz. Pay attention to blackboard, she likes to change things last minute. Her accent is kinda strong too. GET THE LAB BOOK! OR copy it.
She is very good teacher and also very understanding.
She is very helpful and understanding. The lab book is optional because she barely checks it& she allows you to make up tests & quizzes. All of the test questions, with exception of final, can be found on the practice we site she gives. I hate Bio & I got an A. Just show effort & communicate with her.
I TOOK A&P with Dr. Brown and had a D but took it over with her and could have easily earned an A, I was slacking off but I still earned a B. She is an easy A if you just follow her syllabus, pay attention to her lectures in class and turn in you labs when they are due! She REALLY CARES about you. Very swweet and Kind Lady! Ask questions u have
She is the best professor in the whole of Biology department. Just do your work, study the slides and please do not miss the lab her class. Just show effort, and u will come out with an A.
She is great. Has a funny personality. Just do your work and you will be fine. No book is necessary, however the lab manual is required. Exams are all multiple choice and maybe one of two short answers at the end. But overall, its a pretty good class.
Very passionate and unassuming teacher.
tests and quizzes will span many chapters and a lot of material. The questions will be very specific, sometimes trivial information. Not clear in her explanation of topics. She forgets whats she assigns. Attendance isn't necessary, she reads online powerpoints verbatim. Doesn't give good answers to students questions. Nice lady, wouldnt recommend.
She is a nice lady, make sure you study the power points on blackboard. She gives 10 points on exams if the class performance on exams is low. You also do not need the textbook or lab book in this class.
She adds ten points randomly to help class average. The test are straight from the notes. She may give unexpectedly helpful study aid if class is still not performing well. Study and do all assignments and you will be fine.
Took her for bio 201 and she wasn't bad until I took her for bio 202. She is like a whole new person. DONT TAKE HER !
Absolutely horrible teacher. If your a Bio major stay far away from this woman. Like they stated she reads power points word from word and theres little to no interaction with the class. And the test you will take pshh, the test span 5, 6 and sometimes even 7 chapters at one time! And the labs are just pure chaos. Stay away!
this prof is a sweet & honest teacher, makes the class look like it's easy by her way of teaching, makes u understand it & gives u extra time in her office hr. i took it with Brown had a w, but took with her & got an A. gives a take home exam/quiz if the class are not performing well if u come to class, pay attention/do your work, u will get easy A
Awesome professor. As long as you put in the effort to pass this class and not slack, your best interest will be at hand. She knows who tries and who doesn't. The only people that should NOT take this class are the people who are not willing to work or else you fail. She is a great professor.
She gives bonus questions in all her quizzes and exams. She also drops the lowest grade out of the four exams.
Be prepared for her lab practical, she gives you two minutes to answer two questions at each stationary.
If you need to take A&P I STRONGLY recommend you take her. I took her over the summer and it was stressful but she gave two extra credit assignments and made the final exam open book. As a result, I got an A on the final and a B in the class. She will work with you and she's really nice
Thank you for being a wonderful teacher whom takes time & dedication and wish for each student to achieve their goals and do good! Great professor! participate!!! go to class class bc she takes attendance! study hard, you will pass.
awesome! take her. she explains everything so well
GREATTTT TEACHER!!! loved how she taught. she will sit down with you and make sure you pass if anything!
Best Bio Teacher I've every had! I mean, if you want to understand the material then take her. You will need this info in the long run! great teacher. very Smart, respectful, knowledgable. Will recommend her.
She lost all of my labs, when it was turned into her mailbox, then lied and said I didn't do them. She repeatedly didn't show up for class with no email. She gave no explanation for assignments or labs! She will also not answer any of your emails! Assigned two essays ,one day before our 100 question final. Completely disorganized. DO NOT TAKE.
She's not that bad as they say. She gives review for the test and quiz. However, she hates it when students take the class for granted. Come to class prepared and study, you will get an A.
This professor doesn't care about anything. The lectures are long, she makes us buy the textbook and never uses it, and she waits last minute to put grades in. My very first D ever and she can not tell me a real reason why I received a D in this course. Highly suggest you to take someone else before taking her and if you get her, drop the class!
Listen if you plan on taking Dr. Ariyibi, DON'T!!!!!!!!! I'm warning you this was THE WORST teacher I ever encountered. Her accent is confused and she doesn't know how to talk to people. Also, if you're looking to learn, she not it. She's not open to talking to you either. She doesn't care abut your success, just her check.
Shes actually really rude and doesnt work with students when needed. She also tells us that things are a you problem when its nothing students can do on there end. I highly recommend not taking her.
She is the worst professor ive had so far, unprofessional and rude most of the time. Doesnt listen or care for students. I DO NOT recommend her as your bio professor!!
rude , doesnt help when needed , no reviews for tests , makes things seem like its your fault !
Contrary to everyones take on Dr Ariyibi, I think she is a very good professor though its not easy to get through to her after class. Just pay attention to her instructions and follow them to a T and I promise youll get an easy A. Also pay attention in class and do ALL the assignments required.
She is literally the most unorganized, disrespectful & rudest person Ive ever met. She does not care about any difficulties on your end. She has been rude to students in the middle of class, shes left the zoom call out of frustration, and she constantly changes due dates and requirements for projects. Dont do it! Dont say we didnt warn you
If you see this name RUN RUN do not believe any good review on her she plays with your grade and intelligent. I never had a teacher who made a easy A this hard to get. f you missed assignments don't expect to make it up she will blame you and say its your fault
do not take this lady she is very rude and disrespectful she does not care about you nor your grade . She will have you sitting in the meet waiting room for 10/15 and wont let you in she kicks you out meets . Shes rude all around and doesnt know how to be proper professor. Dont take this lady !!
Shes a heard grader very tough to get a easy A. Gives you little time on exams, does not answer questions you may have
Shes a little tough but she cares she wants you to pass. Shes always there to help out!
Dr. Ariyibi is very clear in her syllabus on what is to be expected of her class. Studying is essential, test heavy course and participation counts!!! As long as she sees effort in class and effort reflected in attendance and grades, you will do well.
Dr.Ariyibi is a great lecturer she is good at breaking down complicated topics and simplifying them with explanation and visuals. All questions are answered at the end of class and explanations are given clearly. Dr. Ariyibi is very supportive and will write you a good recommendation letter.
Professor Ariyibi is a very respectful teacher, she helps the students in a lot of ways. she explains the material and goes over anything you don't understand.
Professor Ariyibi was not just a teacher but a mentor and she was someone that saw potential in everyone, she would always push you to achieve your very best.
Yvonne (Biol 201) Professor Adedayo is very caring; if you don't learn the information, that's because you didn't even try. She explains things in a way that makes sense. She has a way with words so much that you would say, "oh, now I get it," she is the best instructor ever. Attendance is essential. She grades honestly and gives extra credits.
Dr Adedayo is a really nice & understanding teacher ! If you really want to learn something take her course !
Phenomenal!! Though a vigorous course, Dr.Ariyibi gives students so much grace. She gives student addition opportunities to improve poor grades. Her TA is so helpful & hands on with her students. Great Professor!!

Very nice and understanding if given respect and effort is applied to the course.
She is very caring and makes sure you understand what is being taught. She has review classes before exams which are very helpful
She is my advisor and is very helpful. Any time I need something she is a phone call away. She's very busy so sometimes a fast email response is not going to happen. Other than that I love conversations with her.
I Took BIOL 202 and 103 with Dr.Ariyibi. She is an amazing professor. She explains the topics and answer all questions during lecture time. We had homework regularly on inquisitive, Labster ETC. Doing these assignments on time is a good key to success in classes. The professor gives a lot of study resources to help us as BIOL is not an easy topic.
i had her for bio 103 & i can tell she enjoys teaching 201/202 more. its not too much work, just a lot of material to cover. she strictly goes by the syllabus. please show up bc attendance really matters. i prefer her morning sections bc they fly by to me. she makes you really rethink your major but just preserve & you'll be fine.
doesn't answer questions you my have, very harsh grader
Professor Ariyibi is an excellent instructor who strives to bring out the best in each student. Enhanced my simple understanding of biology. She is also my favorite professor! She collaborated with me to help me pass and assisted me in understanding the content.
The professor was able to make the content that we were learning easier, in my opinion, because we would have quick questions after every other slide in the power point as well as mini quizzes at the end of the chapter, which was very helpful to remember the information for quizzes/exams later on in the semester.
She gives most of the work online and all the answers are in the PowerPoints
Professor Ariyibi is tough but she is a sweetheart. Make sure you are reading and keeping up with the labs. She is always there to help and give feedback so you can improve in her class. As long as you put the effort in she will help. Participate and create a positive relationship with Dr. Ariyibi and you will pass.
Dr. Ariyibi is a very companionate teacher, and goes out her way for students! she is good at breaking down concepts and making the lesson digestible. Attendance is mandatory and be prepared for a long lecture at times. Took her for for past 2 years and had no issues.
Dr. Ariyabi's class was ok. I feel a lot of the negativity from the class was due to the other students not being willing to learn. She also just reads from the slides which is not how I learn so it was difficult to grasp concepts. She wasn't very interactive and she never responded to emails. On a positive note, she was incredibly kind and caring
Dr. Ariyibi is a good teacher and will help but first you have to help yourself. Gives out a good amount of work and has great lectures
Dr. Ariyibi is a great professor that cares about all of her students.She expects you to pay attention to what she says in class, announcements, and the syllabus, so this is important to pay attention to. She makes an effort to make things lighthearted and she is respectful to everyone. Quizlet and MyLab and Mastering are helpful for tests/quizzes
The professor is great, is willing to give second chances on a lot of the assignments as long as you ask. If you try in the class, she will help you get a good grade
Attendance is very important for this class. Just as long as you are getting to class on time and completing the assignments you will succeed. She teaches a lot of important material so reading and taking notes will also be very helpful to you. The syllabus is followed thoroughly so make sure you pay attention to that as well. Overall great class!
I was nervous about taking the course, but Professor Ariyibi was there every step of the way when I needed help or guidance. Without her, I'm not sure I would have been as successful as I was in this course.
Dr. Ariyibi is an excellent professor. Grades are based on exams, quizzes, homework, project, lab, and many ways to pass the class. Biology itself is hard so listen to the lecture, pay attention, do the work and you will pass.
Dr Ariyibi is the best professor I've ever had in all my years at Morgan. She's empathetic, understanding and genuinely wants to see her students excel. She's not a difficult teacher and her expectations are pretty concise and straightforward. Attendance is mandatory in her class so make sure to show up on time and ready to learn. I recommend her!
Lecture heavy teacher that flies through material. Very hard to retain information because it feels like she's just talking and not actually teaching the lecture. Lecture material is not covered in homework assignments and tests. You are basically teaching yourself. Other than that she is very empathetic and understanding regarding assignments
A good professor!
Dr.Aryibi is a great professor that will continue to help and is very empathetic. My solid advice would be REVIEW material! Also take attendance very seriously!
She knows what she is talking about and goes deep into explaining what is on the powerpoint. Make sure you are actively listening and taking notes. Also, attend every class because it counts toward your grade and she rewards students who constantly show up to learn.
She is a wonderful teacher. Her lectures are clear and informative, she makes sure you understand the topic before leaving class.
its not a hard class, just make sure you STUDY the material and do EVERY assignment given to you. She's a very helpful professor and will do everythingin her power to assist you but you need to READ the textbook and participate
She is really chill, understanding, and teaches well. You have to go to class to know what she's teaching and it really helped me through the semester
Very likable professor. She doesn't give any problems and work is clear and room to improve your grade. I learned a lot in this class.
Professor Ariyibi is a great professor to take for Bio 201. She really makes sure students understand the material being lectured in class. All I would recommend is study the material when you get it because when you do this class will be a breeze. It's impossible to not pass only if you don't pay attention. Highly recommend taking her!!
Dr.Ariyibi is a wonderful teacher who actually cares. She's very understanding and genuine, she takes the time to make sure we know the material that is presented to us. Make sure you review the presentation slides and complete the assignments given. Your attendance can either make or break your grade.
I genuinely regard Professor A (as I affectionately call her) as one of the best at Morgan State. She wants to see all of her students strive to the best of their ability. She's tough, but fair! Professor A will give you multiple chances and extra assignments to pull up your grade.
Professor Ariyibi is a breath of fresh air! She truly cares about her students and their success; she gives multiple chances to make up missed assignments! Her BIGGEST pet peeve is attendance!! You must go to class. Attendance plays a major part of your grade. Overall, this was the best BIO class that I have taken. She is fair & wants you to pass.
She is good for some not all
You must attend class as attendance is mandatory. Listen and pay attention to what professor says in class as most of that info is on the exams. This is not an easy course, however if you study, you will do very well on exams. Overall great professor, extremely caring and if you participate in class will do her absolute best to help you succeed.

loved her class definitely would take again if i had too best biology teacher.
She was very understanding & worked with me to ensure I passed. Make sure you attend all lectures as your attendance is important and missing class will make it harder to catch up! There are online assignments and some in person.
Loved professor Ariyibi, she was very caring and understanding as long as you communicated with her. She really cares about her students and also takes her time to explain the lectures well! Would definitely recommend!
Most grades come from online activities and labs. She will also check in with you if you if your grade starts to drop. She is NOT tech savvy!
Great time with Dr.Ariyibi, she's awesome. Dr.Ariyibi worked with me to understand my grades and even showed concern with my success in the course. Answered all my questions and even offered resources for success!!
I enjoyed class session with Dr.Ariyibi, very interesting class lectures.Any questions I had was answered clearly. Overall great semester.
Dr. A is the best biology professor at Morgan state. I had for anatomy and physiology 1 and 2 and she is extremely understanding and wants all of her students to succeed. She's also very good at advising and helping you do well in her class. As long as you communicate with her you will do fine.
She doesn't really answer emails so you have to talk to her in class. Other than that she is a good teacher I would say.
Dr. A! Very passionate and caring professor. I took her course for anatomy and physiology 1 my freshman year; She gives really good/engaging lectures and explains everything thoroughly. She also utilizes the hands on models in the classroom to help us prepare for lab test. Easy to get in contact with and overall just wants her students to succeed.
She is absolutely amazing. She wants all of her students to succeed and is willing to go the extra mile to do so as long as you put in the work as well. I would not be where I am today without her. I truly thank her for all of her help and understanding during a time of need for me. She was there and never gave up on me; no matter what happened.
chaotic and loaded with a lot of assignments
She wasn't too bad in the beginning but she starts to get rude when you question her about grading and assignment due dates. She has tests very often but doesn't give proper material to study. I had her lecture twice a week and it felt like she just expected you to remember everything from 500+ slides, the class had to argue with her often
