I am taking Professor Gilleland for Biological Science Lab right now and she is absolutely amazing! Probably one of my favorite professors I've had at SPC. I am horrible at any type of science but I have a strong A in her class right now. She grades very easily and is extremely helpful. I would definitely recommend taking her for bio lab.

I had her for lab and she's a great professor. She's very laid back and very helpful. Her class is very easy.

An absolute sweet heart, very kind, helpful and laid back. I have her so lecture and lab which i enjoy her. Test are based off her powerpoints so all you need to do is just study that, also she'll give little hints on what is going to be on the test during lecture so be on the look on for that. Her lab is fun and a very laid back environment.

i have to honest about Dr.Gilleland she a sweetheart and a good professor, but just be very aware if you have her for lecture the wording on her tests are very tricky and it will get you. For myself i put a lot of time into studying for lecture and i still end up getting a bad grade. For her lab she is also tricky, shes good but its not an easy A.

Very sweet, funny professor! I bombed the first test because the wording was much different than her power points. However, I got high scores on the remaining tests. Class consists of 3 tests and a final. NO EXTRA CREDIT. She WILL help you if you go to her. She emailed me direct pages to look at that would be on the test. Study mainly vocab

She's pretty straight forward. No surprises.Gives power points so no need to purchase a textbook.The 1st test is the hardest but after that your good. Hope she teaches biology 2 in the future.

Awesome teacher. Highly recommended. She took awhile to post grades but other than that she is very pleasant and her lectures and tests are easy to understand.

I took her for both lecture and lab for Bio 1 and 2. She is extremely easy, the study guide covers everything on her test. No homework and extra credit is so easy. Highly recommend if u want A in Bio

Dr. G is an angel. I feel blessed she was my professor. I had her for Bio II & while bio a tough subject, she is very fair. She is a little slow on grading, but that didn't bother me, or change the outcome. I read the book, but everyone used the PP's just fine! For lab, I brought my camera and stayed to make sure I knew all important structures. A!

Took face-to-face and found it easy. She explains everything. You have to study to grasp the logic of envirn sci. She gives you 5% bonus to your grade for participating. She will give you a makeup test with valid reason. Some questions on exams require thought. Earned A+(recieved A). Highly rec.

Easy Class. The Poor posts are bogus, they just didn't study and then blame teacher. She is extremely fair and helpful to anyone. Inaccurate comments demean point of this site.

I think the poor comments are from the same person trying to bash excellent professor.

A great professor - genuinely cares about her students and loves biology.

A great Professor - very helpful and she loves biology and environmental science

Dr. Gilleland is a star and I could not imagine taking the course with any other professor. She provides ample opportunity for students to ask for help and lectures are rarely if ever dry; light textbook use as she provides lecture note presentations online which covers pretty much everything she tests on. Overall she's awesome!

Class was easy and well organized I just did the work when I was suppose to took the exams and scored an A very little effort and professor was crystal clear she always helped and provided answers If you fall behind that's your fault any science class is like that lots of information and terms to learn and memorize that's science

Excellent class professor is perfect she always tells you what to study she is extremely fair no one should ever earn less than a C online classes require constant work if you don't like always reading and surfing take it face-face stop easy class nice instructor very fair

Easiest class I ever had excellent professor super nice fair does not overload you exams are super easy she's available at Seminole if you need to talk to her always happy and friendly best professor at SPC wish she taught more science classes highly rec :-)

One of the easiest professors I have had! Took the wrong professor the first time, retook the class with her and got an A. If you can't pass the class with her then you should rethink your major.

She is an okay teacher, except she is extremely slow in her grading process. Expect your exams to be graded weeks later. No grades other than 4 tests and a final. The exams are very difficult and very tricky, don't waste your time with the study guide. They are COMPLETELY irrelevant to the exam itself. Do not suggest taking her. Save yourselves.

Good teacher and very helpful. She always answered my email questions though sometimes it took a day or so.

classes are very interactive - questions, class discussions, video clips

Awesome teacher. Lectures aren't boring, tries to keep it interesting. Do the study guides she gives, show up to class and you should not get anything lower than a B.

Awesome professor. Makes it fun!

Someone who took this class rated her a lot falsely, to bring down her grade. Don't believe them. Her class is always closed early. Why do you think that happens? Think! Enjoy biology with her now because one day she will be Dean and might not have time for bio 1 & 2 and only teach advanced bio. Think people, think. Enjoy !

Best Biology professor EVER. She is awesome and so are her lectures.

She is an amazing teacher and changed my view of the medical field. She made biology fascinating and I'm glad I took her. Biology isn't an easy class so you do have to put effort in it. Her study guides doesn't match the tests so make sure to take really good notes during her lectures. She's laid back & always trying to help you succeed.

The lectures were provided with not only PowerPoint slides, but also with videos. Her grading method was very clear; however, it did take a while for the assignments to be graded. Overall, she was a very helpful instructor and would answer any questions asked.

Class is not easy by any means. A LOT of information especially if taken during the summer semester. You really have to read the book and go over all the extra materials she provides (which is a lot) in order to really grasp all the concepts. As long as you aren't lazy, you will pass with flying colors. Test review sheets are amazing. Great prof.

Dr Gilleland was a solid choice, I actually really learned a lot about sustainability & the environment through this class. She's a decent grader and even let me turn in a lab a day late. I took her online but would've totally taken in class too. the proctored midterm & final are NOT like the study guide.. Study the quizzes and you'll do fine.

She's a great professor. She cares about whether or not you learn and is available in her office almost every day.

I took her for an online class. Her quizzes seemed easy most of the time but once in a while, I would get a question that seemed to come out of no-where. I couldnt find the answer after looking through notes, the book, or her presentations. Her study guides worked great for the mid-term and final. Would take again.

Dr. Gilleland is the best! Took her class for Bio 1 and 2. Would definitely recommend her

Shes very good at explaining stuff and shes around campus every day.

The online class was interesting. Some really good videos. Tests are that hard but you have to study - use the study guides she gives you.

Don't expect any feed back on the work you turn in, even if you request it. Fair grader overall. There is work to do but it is not that hard. Do the work and get a good grade.

I took her for Bio 1 and 2. I never studied for either and never did any of the quizzes before a test and I get B's. If you just show up and listen to the lecture you are guaranteed to pass. She gives extra credit before each test and has 1 or 2 quizzes do between each test and its on;y 3 or 4 test the whole semester. She thoroughly explains stuff

I loved her, I live a little far from the campus she teaches at so I wasn't able to go to all the lectures. Nonetheless, I still got an A, she gives 4 tests and a final, all multiple choice, and online quizzes. Her Study guides are super helpful as long as you study of the powerpoints, no need for the book all you need is to read the powerpoints!!

Professor Gilleland was amazing! Her lectures were always interesting & included good videos. She explained things in a way that was easy to understand & was always available to answer questions. The online quizzes were simple. The tests were straight forward as well, but studying definitely helped. She provides study guides & extra credit.

Professor Gilleland is a really good professor. If you don't understand something, she'll take the time to help you understand it. She is very video in class heavy. She teaches from PP. There are quizzes on my courses every couple weeks. You don't have to go to class to pass. The tests are straight forward from the study guide. Highly recommend.

Dr. Gilleland is very good at explaining bio stuff. She gives study guides and a little bit of extra credit. She is nice and friendly.

No textbook was required, all reading material was provided via power point slides and links to articles. A study guide is provided at the end of each module which helps for quizzes/exams. The final wasn't proctored/was open note due to COVID-19, so that was nice of her. Overall seems okay but if online, don't expect to hear from her in any aspect.

Took Prof. Gilleland for BSC 2010 & BSC 2011 honestly everything is already laid out for you, really hard to FAIL the class as long as you put in the time to study the notes on the PP's and take notes on a couple vids you'll do fine. Gives out many chances for extra credit and the study guides prior to exams are helpful. 10/10 would recommend!

This class is relatively easy with a quiz and lab on every module. As long as you read the textbook and take notes on every single slide given, you will pass the class. The topic itself was very engaging and the few videos that were recommended were both interesting and thought-provoking. The exams are difficult and focus on very minute details.

Professor Gilleland's online course was very independent. She had everything laid out in 2 week increments and it was very organized. If you are an independent learner, she is a great professor to have. The labs are simple and fun and she gives study guides for everything!

The class itself wasn't too difficult if you read the material. All the quizzes were based on the handouts. Unfortunately, you did not know which answers you got wrong on the quizzes or open-book exams. The 2 big exams were proctored and were based on the quizzes and practice exams. No textbook is needed for this class. would take professor again.

Answers emails pretty fast

No book required or needed for the class so you save money. Professor answers emails and is helpful.

She gave study guides for every test and you can use notes for some of the tests. Easy homework!

The in person part of the class was good. She is good at explaining hard stuff like photosynthesis and enzymes. She gives a little extra credit for every exam and a bunch of practice quizzes.

Great Prof Very good at explaining things

I took her class online. Very understanding if something comes up and will work with you, just communicate. Weekly quizzes, discussions and homework with labs. None of it is to hard, just do your work and you will pass. Definitely a good teacher!

Good professor that cares about her students. A lot of course material, but her lectures are fun and thorough. Available for additional help and answers all questions kindly. Tests are a big part of the grade, but they are multiple-choice. Additional quizzes and smaller assignments are given throughout the semester. 10 outta 10 would recommend.

Professor Gilleland is really understanding. Super easy to reach and fixes any issues fast. Labs were easy to complete and tests are open book. Prepare to read a lot and watch long videos. There are 8 labs & mini-quizzes and 4 Exams throughout the semester. New modules released every few weeks. Pay attention to due dates and you'll be just fine!

Absolutely one of my favorite professors. Professor Gilleland makes sure her students understand the assignments that are being given. The class itself is very well organized. However, if you don't like environmental science I would not take it. Hands down, my favorite class this semester because of how she structured her class. DEFINITLEY AMAZING.

I enjoyed having Dr. Gilleland for bio 1. Her lectures were always interesting to learn from, and she engages well with questions. It was a hybrid class, which makes making up notes easier since she does go through the power point slides quick.
