Dr. Brundage has no dull moments in class. Her grades stem from the weekly quizzes, exams and extra credit. If you're unsure about getting that grade you want then TAKE THE EXTRA CREDIT.

She makes it very easy to pass with an A as long as you do the quizzes on time, which are really quite simple honestly. She then posts practice exams the night before the test which are literally the exact questions she will use for the exam. Take the practice test multiple times in order to see the most amount of questions that could be used. Easy

Dr. Brundage is the most awesome professor I've had. She's funny, caring, and she gives out a lot of extra credit. Tests are open book and online, the only thing you have to worry about is the fact that it's 100 questions in 60 minutes.

This was a really easy class. Everything was due on the last day of finals, so you have the entire semester to get it done which was really nice. I waited until two days before and was still able to get it done, although it was a lot of work. The course is actually pretty interesting too and Dr. Brundage clearly has a lot of passion for her field.

Her lectures were nice and occasionally had guest speakers bought in to take over class. Easy, unlimited attempt homework and quizzes. All you have to do is show up to class (attendance i-clickers) and you'll earn the easiest A!

A lot of content (when paired with lab), but 100% manageable and easy. Make a document with all of the quiz answers (it's allowed) and take them repeatedly until the questions start repeating. If you do this for all of your lecture quizzes, the exams will not be that hard. For 209, make use of the blank notes so that the exams are easy.

Dr. Brundage is such a great professor who obviously cares about her students a lot. She is hilarious and honestly made me want to go the the lectures, she keeps them very engaging compared to most professors I've had. The class is not too difficult but quite a lot of assignments.

Took her class over the summer. Everything was due on the last day of classes. Very easy to get an A. There is also so much extra credit, if you wanted to you could get well above a 100. If possible I would do this class over the summer because it is that easy, but take it now if you want to just have an easy A.

This online was very much self paced. You receive all your assignments and exams on the first week and have until finals week to complete. There was a total of about 60 assignments including all the quizzes/exams. But if you just stay on top of the modules and the workload, you'll do great. Very easy and manageable class

This class was fun to take! If you are interested in true crime at all, you will love it. It was self paced, unlimited attempts on many things like quizzes/assignments. There were some typos in the answer keys online resulting in test questions being counted wrong, but if you email her or the TAs they fix it right away. I really enjoyed it!

Dr. Brundage is a brilliant scientist and a genuinely wonderful human being. Her class was honestly the best part of my day. Her lectures are HILARIOUS, and it's easy to absorb/retain the information because you are so engaged. Please, do yourself a favor and take her class. You will not regret it, I promise.

Great prof who offers a ton of extra credit. This isn't a blow off online class though so be prepared to actually do assignments. The worst part about this class is the 100 question exams and final case analysis but other than that great class. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a life and physical science credit.

Very engaging class, lectures are enjoyable. Quiz before every class, but it's open book, unlimited time/attempts. Exams are also open book, online. Although this class does have assignments due every week, the workload is manageable as long as you stay on top of it. Group project and final case analysis at the end is the hardest part of class.

I took this class to fulfill my last Science Credit. The class is not difficult, but it is very homework and lecture heavy and in class participation is expected and graded. The homework mainly consists of quizzes over the textbook chapters. There is also one group project. The exams are open note and not timed as well which is great.

This is a very fun and easy class. There is a lot of reading required, but I found the textbook not boring. For the most part, all assessments, and everything, are really easy. Don't skip class, she's uses iclicker and the information she gives in class can be very important, especially portaging to the exams.

Though the online class was easy, the organization of the Reading quiz, Quiz Module, and Exams aren't the best in my opinion. Some questions that have not been discussed in the lecture videos and textbook may appear in these quizzes. Apparently, they have had this trouble for some time, so there's no circumventing it. The lab is also easy.

Dr. Brundage is the best professor you will ever have. She is an amazing storyteller, inspirational lecturer, and the number-one voice fighting for the interests of the forensics program. Don't be afraid to reach out or go to office hours whether you need help in class, your life overall, or have questions anything entomology or forensics.

I love Dr. Brundage. I wish she taught more classes. She's very helpful and extremely funny. If you do the work and put in a little bit of effort, you'll get an A. I highly recommend her class. Attendance isn't mandatory, but she does iClickr during class, which counts for points. She really knows her stuff and tells stories about cases she's had.

Horrendous. Terribly long exams that the professors allowed everyone to take even though they acknowledged that the tables supplied were incorrect. Final exam consisted of questions of calculations never taught. Whole class is taught through recorded lecture videos, no supplemental materials. Learned nothing about insects related to forensics.

Look im all for easy open note tests, but a 200 question final? A final project that takes hours of mind numbing tedious going back through the slides to complete? Id honestly rather spend the time studying and take a regular length test. All of her tests are 100 questions or more. If you take her class, mind numbing busywork awaits!

Professor Brundage was my absolute favorite. All assignments are easy and open note, and she provides enough information to finish them. If you have a question, you can ask her something before class and she'll be happy to help. The only difficult assignment was the final case analysis, but it was fine overall. Her lectures are so fun and amazing!
