Class is a nightmare. Everybody in the class has a D or F so I'm guessing there is point raising. Feels that chem is learned outside of class . I feel it should be taught in class for the money being paid. She wastes too much time talking about lab.

Very knowledgable. Tests are hard...study from pretests in book and online. Do the extra credit work and you can skip the last exam.

If you want to learn anything don't take her for anything. She just reads off of a powerpoint that someone else wrote for her, she doesn't even explain any of it. Nothing from the powerpoints are on the tests and the practice quizzes she gives on angel are nothing like the actual tests. If you want to do well take another class.

I had a 3.8 gpa prior to her class, and i have taken some pretty hard classes like A&P 1,2 CHM 1,2. She is by far the worse teacher i have ever had in college!!! She must hate her job and her life! I wish i would have droped this class the first day!

although i read most of the reviews about monroe before i signed up for classes, i still took her. BIGGEST mistake ever. she is horrible. the class average on tests is about a 45 or 50. Her teaching is horrible. She does nothing but read a powerpoint she didnt make. you cant even keep the tests to know what you got wrong, she takes them back. ahh!

Like to teach yourself?? Quite possibly...no scratch that, absolutely the worst professor I've ever had. She is a drone who just reads from the powerpoints you can get yourself online. Don't bother asking her for help, she will not respond. Totally useless, will not help you...a robot. Class average on tests so far hover at 50%. No Curve. Run!!!!!

Very boring teacher. All she does is read off a powerpoint. Class average for tests were 50%. For the final exam, she just told the class to study everything. **Only Plus - end of semester, she bumped whoever was failing to a C! Very boring, no point in taking notes because she does not elaborate from the powerpoint at all.

I am sure she knows her biology but she sure as heck doesn't know how to transmit her knowledge to the class. Reads straight off powerpoint, doesn't explain what will be on the test, it's like shooting darts blindfolded when it comes to takin her tests.

Easiest lab class ever. Just show up, do your work, and take an A home. The quizzes at the beginning of each lecture are a joke. If you fail this class or even get a B in here, you do not belong in college.

Im a 28 year old Veteran of the US Army. Ive dealt with some difficult people in my life, but Ms. Monroe rates up at the top. If you care about your GPA, dont take this class. If youre looking for a guaranteed B or C and couldnt care less about learning, this is your class. I read these remarks and still took the class, dont be like me.

The queen of excuses. There will be more than one correct answer on the mult. choice tests she gives so choose wisley. SAVE all emails and class work you send her to CYA. She will tell you she didn't receive them. Very boring and she reads word for word from the book.

Very interested in biology. Tests are from bank (which Powerpoint lectures based on.) If you take quizzes and PAY ATTENTION you will pass tests. If you elaborate PPT outlines with notes from book, you will LEARN! Difficult critical thinking on tests (may want to take a prep class on multiple choice elimination and look for words like BEST,ONLY,

There is a reason she has 20+ pages of complaints. Don't fool yourself with thinking that you will pay attention in her class. The only thing she teaches you is how much she hates emails. Save yourself the trouble and find a different bio teacher. Anyone else would be a better teacher for your tuition to pay than her!

Horrible teacher. I wish I checked this site before signing up for the class. She doesn't even have to teach, just tell us what to read and what chapters will be tested. She can't even do that. Unresponsive, unorganized AWFUL.

This teacher is perhaps one of the worst I've ever had.She acts like she wants us all to fail! Entire grade is based on quizzes, and they are not multiple choice.She doesn't teach,and is very strict on attendance.If you miss class, you miss two quizzes, and she won't let you make them up!I don't know why she is still teaching.

THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST TEACHER AT SPC. No joke. She has no curriculum, doesn't answer emails, after studying all the material she had listed for her second exam I was disappointed to find out while taking exam 2 that it was identical to exam 1 and was not over any of the material listed. Your better off just punching yourself in the face

Teacher has no interest in student success. I visited her three times during her office hours. The third time I had someone go find her because I refused to come back. She showed no interest in hearing what I had to say and how her students are failing. My 3.7 GPA just dropped below 3.5. Thanks a lot SPC for employing Alice Monroe!

This teacher has a complete lack of knowledge and passion for the subject. She will not bother to learn names and will not mind if you come for five minutes each day. Every thing is online (4 tests) no matter what. Why should she put in any more effort than required? Don't bother e-mailing her or asking for help... She has zero interest in students

All, I repeat ALL of her test are online and questions are directly from the book. She isnt there to help you at all but if you show up for roll, and do the test on time, there is no reason, again I repeat no reason to fail her class.

Useless teacher! Syllabus was wrong, teacher was rude, refused to answer questions, and positive she was right even when you copy and paste the incorrect information she gave. All tests/quizzes are done from the professor's website, and she had many of those messed up. Easy A - if you ignore the teacher and do not try to interact with her.

DO NOT TAKE UNDER ANY CONDITION!!! Teaches directly from slide show, which often has wrong information on it. Test questions and answers are often messed up. Does not respond to issues and is very rude when asked questions. She messed up my grade and it took four months to get it fixed, and she only did it once I got the Dean involved.

I took her class online. She never responded to emails, the material on the test was not all on the notes, and she is rude. I went into her office halfway through her class to discuss my grade, and she was chewing her chips with her mouth open and didn't give me any feedback, advice or help. She doesn't care if you're successful or not.
