Professor A is very caring and smart! I suggest to ready her powerpoint and the book. If you only study from her powerpoint, you will not pass any of the quizzes or the tests. You HAVE to READ THE BOOK! The prof offers a lot of extra credits which helps. You have to work for your grade.

She's VERY lecture heavy and speeds through the powerpoints (doesn't post them online either). Pay attention and take good notes to study from. We had 11 quizzes and she dropped the lowest. Exams are pretty much based from the quizzes. Study, she's difficult, but reasonable. Study and you'll do alright.

I have learned and benefited a lot from your course and all the caring toward your students, looking forward to continue with you on Biol1510 next spring semester

I really want to thank professor Alegre, I've taken both BIOL 1500 and BIOL 1510 with you last year and you helped me accel in both classes, THANK YOU!! She really care for her students, and really prepared me for pre med. The courses are not easy ones and better looks for a professor that cares about your learning, Be Smart!!

I was struggled at the beginning or the semester but she helped me to success, she is amazing!! the courses are tough but she cares and put a lot of effort helping her students! I will definitely take her course next semester!

Great professor !! I will definitely continue with her, she respond to your emails, she listening to you and she care about you, she want you to learn and be ready for heavier courses in your future

The course is so extensive but the professor provide a lot of help, I would definitely take Professor Alegre

I was not sure to take Prof. Alegre, but her classes has seen really helpful, not a lot professors care like she does for her students; her lectures are heavy, but she provides many opportunities. I will definitely continue with her in 1510. I would rather take it with a professor that cares about her students' success.

Great Professor, nice lady and very passionate about biology, 4 exams, not cumulative and she practically provide similar questions during the lectures, do not miss lectures, most of examples are given in lectures are asked in the exams. If you dedicate time to the course is a easy A

great professor, she cares for her students, lot of opportunities for extra credit

GREAT PROFESSOR! SHE REALLY CARES! PARTICIPATION IS A MUST! AMAZING LECTURES

Very good professor, she came well prepared for every lesson, she really cares and the class was fun. I'm glad I took this class, I would take it again!

I took Alegre for Bio 1 and 2, and I honestly think that she is a good teacher. She is very powerpoint and lecture-based, but her tests are very fair. If you pay attention in class, re-read through the slides, and study the Pearsons, you will do well. You can't expect to get an A in any class if you don't put in the work, her class is very doable.

Posts all power points with lecture material, lectures are slow and somewhat boring but all the information on the slides. Pearson questions correlate with tests, and easy repetitive questions. Attendance not mandatory but gives extra credit assignments on paper in class.

She gives four tests in total for bio 2 none of the tests are cumulative. The content is throughly explained in her PowerPoints. If you study the PowerPoints in depth you should be ok.

Lecture is not required to attend. You can self-teach and still do well. Lots of extra credit though if you do go to class. Talk to someone who has taken her before they will help A LOT (TB).

Quite literally the easiest biology professor at Nova. I wish she taught Bio 2 but regardless, she is such a sweet and caring professor. She breaks down concepts so well and her exams are easy. Take her!

Easy A if that is what you are looking for

Easy class, easy professor

Exams are very simple to the point- would recommend

Not sure where to begin But Dr.Alegre was an incredible professor. She gave practice exams that mirrored the real exam exactly with even same questions. A guaranteed A- or A. Lots of extra credit to boost grade

Prof Alegre made the semester a breeze! If you're looking for an easy-going and stress-free academic experience, they're the perfect choice. The material was presented in a simple, understandable way, which made even the toughest subjects seem manageable. Exams are all multiple choice

Take her! I had no background in college bio and never took AP Bio but she makes content manageable. Drops lowest exam and gives lots of extra credit. Lab is easy. Recommend

Wish she taught Bio2. Took Bio1 last semester and she was one of the best professors I had. She gives practice exam in class (REVIEW THIS!!!) exact same questions will be on the exam

4 exams and 1 Final. Lots of extra credit. No surprise questions on exams. Take her if you can

I never went to class , other than exam days since her exams are from the practice exam and the powerpoints. However, I found out if you go to class she gives bonus points for attendance. I still made an A but if you want to maximize your grade, go to class

Pretty easy class just pay attention to ppt and practice exam

She is one of the best professors I have had- she is so kind and helpful during classes and exams are very simple, no trick questions

One of the better professors to take. Good teaching style and conveys material well

she is good but bio is a pretty boring class

She is always available during office hours to answer any questions or to review old exams. Her exams have no trick questions and they are easy if you pay attention during lecture. She gives extra credit in class, so make sure to attend lecture. The homework is on Pearson, and the questions are similar to exams.

Prof Alegre is AMAZING!! Her lectures are a little difficult because she moves very quickly but if you read the textbook you should be fine. She cares so much about each of her students and is always willing to give feedback and help you understand difficult topics. She even will go over past exams with you. I recommend that people take her.

Great teacher, taking her again for Bio 1510, gives lots of extra credit and chances to boost your grade

She has easy tests and a good amount of assignments. Her lectures are long and boring, however.

Lectures with a powerpoint and can answer any questions. Very nice prof, but boring lectures. Gives out extra credit and tests are easy.

Professor Alegre is clear what assignments your need to get done and what you need to study to prepare for her exams. She uses Pearson and her exams are based off the textbook. She has a thick accent that is hard to understand at times but her lectures are great and she wants her students to succeed.

She's pretty good, not very concise during lectures so it can be hard to follow but u should be fine after reading the textbook. She answers all questions in a very kind manner. The only thing I would have to say is that she uses Pearson for her quizzes, BUT she rewords them in a way that make the answer more ambiguous, which was really bad.

Don't listen to these other reviews dissing on her lectures, while it's true she reads powerpoints, it is stated in her syllabus that you are expected to read the chapter PRIOR to the lecture, the lecture is mainly a refresher of the chapter and a clarification of what you read. She provides review questions to check your understanding after.

Professor Alegre is one of the best professors I know. Although she is fast and has a small accent when lecturing, it won't damage your learning because you'll have to read and learn the powerpoints outside of class. She cares a lot and wants you to understand the topic material and plus gives extra credit!

Honestly, she's is lecture heavy with 4 tests throughout the semester. If you don't study and actually learn outside of class, you would most likely fail or just end up with a not so good grade. A lot of memorization and if you miss a couple points on the quiz, she gives a ton of extra credits that goes towards the tests!! She's amazing.

I really like Alegre. She is very caring and gives good feedback. Her tests are easy and most people get an A on every one. She gives out lots of extra credit and there are some homework and assignments, but they only help bring your grade up. She does have a stronger accent, but she's a really good teacher, would recommend.

TAKE HER!!! Go to every class because the extra credit WILL HELP UR GRADE TREMENDOUSLY. The study guides she posts on canvas helps a lot. I could have gotten an A+ but I didn't go to class much and didn't study for the first test. Make sure to complete all MyLab assignments because it will boost your grade. I studied from Powerpoint and did fine.

shes a really easy bio prof. the quizzes/hw don't really align with the tests/material but they are easy to pass as they're online at home. if you come to class she gives extra credit. tests averages were in the 60s-70s but she also gives bonus questions at the end. her lectures are super boring tho... but if you read the lectures youll get an A

Several month late review but extra credit. Attendance occasionally mandatory but posts announcement if is. Mostly study from Pearson hw and practice questions. Use PowerPoint if there's extra info that isn't on Pearson. Need to study a lot though cause not all test questions are on Pearson. Final only 50 questions from bio department, no extra.

This class was very easy if you are looking to get a science in. Quizzes are open notes and super easy. I took the 8 week version of the class and it consisted of 1-2 quizzes a week with 1 or 2 written assignments that also were not that hard. Powerpoint project isn't as hard as she makes it sound just get started ahead of time.

I took this class for biology 1. She basically reads off the presentation for the whole class. You need to study or else the tests are really hard, she gives 4 tests the year with a few take home quizzes throughout the semester. These aren't on lockdown browser. She also gives about 5 assignments on canvas and assignments on my lab.

Alegre is great. I 100% reccomend for bio 1, she does extra credit and the tests are soley based off the slideshow and practice questions she gives. The homeworks on pearson take a while but arent hard. Overall 10/10

This is an outstanding professor if you learn through lectures, videos, examples, drawing, and asking questions. However, they have so much homework to do, and there are a lot of extra credit assignments. The tests are heavily graded, but she does not do the lab portion. TAKE IF YOU LEARN IN PERSON BEST. DO NOT TAKE IF YOU LEARN BY YOURSELF.

Easy Class. Just do the Connects light work. The final talks about that one book.

Absolutely take her. The tests arent super hard, and she is sooo nice. If you use the book to study, you will definitely pass without a doubt. She gives a lot of extra credit.

Such a sweet professor! Uses a mix of Pearson, quizzes are on canvas without lockdown, and tests are in person. Gives out plenty of extra assignments to help boost your grade that are actually helpful in understanding concepts. Office hours are great use them! Cares about students passing and always extends reminders for resources

She is a great professor. If you just study the slides, then you will be fine. Attendance isn't mandatory, but she gives some extra credit assignments in class.

Only four exams, including the midterm and final, are weighted the same (10% each). Quizzes at home, no lockdown camera, canvas assignments, mastering bio, and lab account for 60% of your grade, so even if tests go bad, you'll do fine. I did awful on all tests and ended with an 88%. She gives extra credit randomly in class sometimes.

So light. Great grading. Just do well on the quizzes, mastering, canvas assignments and go for extra credit. Tests are all MCQ with like one or two SAQ that are so easy.

Tbh, she's a great professor, and the class was easy to me passed with an A. Ppl only rate her low because she speeds through lectures like you know the subject, so js go home and read the Pearson book and powerpoints. It's college professors barely teach you gotta teach yourself.

I really liked Dr. Alegre this semester. She is very knowledgable about what she teaches and her passion shows. She does a good job between talking, showing videos to the class, and quick class assignments. Dr. Alegre is very personable and understanding as well. I enjoyed taking her this semester and I would recommend her to any student at NSU.

Prof Alegre is a good professor. Her lectures are pretty useless. If you study the slides and practice questions, you will be set. Easy A, just study practice questions. A lot of extra credit if you go to class.

I love Dr. Alegre. If I could take her for every single class, I would. She's amazing, her tests are pretty reasonable, and she's always willing to work with you. She always gives extra credit, so I recommend going to lecture. But if you miss lecture, it's not a big deal. Study from the book, and the questions are very similar. Take her if you can!

Great professor. Read and understand the textbook. Test is similar to textbook with practice questions. Offers A LOT of extra credit that really helps your grade. Genuinely teaches concepts and explains things well in her lectures.

Professor Alegre does mainly talk from start to finish in class. I'd recommend her bc she is very understanding and cares about students. Don't listen to the other reviews, if you do the work and don't wait to study for a test the day before, you will be fine. She gives extra credit which boosted my grade a whole letter. Best bio teacher at nova.

Alegre is a good teacher. Very very very lecture heavy. Wouldn't say attendance is mandatory since all PPTs are posted on canvas but she gives extra credit assignments randomly. Tests had averages in the 70s but there were really easy and had surface-level questions. Read through the notes and you should do fine on the tests.

Tough accent but great professor. Exams are fair if you study and plenty of extra credit is offered. She explained everything really well showed examples and exams were completely off the PowerPoint. Study lecture and you'll do great.

Professor Alegre is nice and accessible outside of class. Shes very lecture-heavy, so if you're not an auditory learner, focus on Pearson hw, take notes, study, etc. Her exams are easy if you study and are similar to the Pearson hw. She also offers extra credit assignments (so go to class or you wont be able to get it)that count toward your exams.

lectures were lowk just her reading off the slides BUT still go bc questions/videos that help a lot for test sometimes word for word not test bank anymore some questions straight from pearson so study pearson tests easy/straightforward if you studied hella sweet, went to office hours a couple of times to review my tests and she explained questions

Tests & quizzes are extremely easy, all taken from practice test questions on Pearson. She has a pretty straightforward approach. Only complaint is lectures can be boring and attending becomes laborious as she just reads from ppts posted on canvas. Attend if you want extra credit. Material is easy. Take her if you want a stress-free class.
