Great lectures. Super caring and describes everything well and super easy to understand. Tests arent too bad if you study good, study guides have all the answers to the tests.

Charismatic. Easygoing. Simply amazing. Her lectures and top hat quizzes are exactly what are to appear on the exams, so as long as you participate and come to class, you'll have a blast and pass.

We use Top Hat in the lectures! We have the book but we only use the connect code for online homework for each section! Her lectures are straight forward! We have 4 midterms, the 1st test is online and the rest are in the class, 35 questions each section. Her final are off the questions of the other test! She is an amazing teacher!

Professor Reece is very specific on what she wants, we used TopHat on most lectures for participation points in the class and had online homework assignments. The midterms were fairly easy if you studied, and the final is based on questions from past exams! Super great teacher.

Amber is a great professor and she definitely knows her stuff. Her lectures are great and I recommend her. She is funny at times too. Make sure you go to lecture because you will lose participation points if you don't.

Dr. Reece is a great professor! She is so good at teaching and super clear. I didn't ever leave class with something I didn't fully understand. We used Top Hat almost everyday, and got our participation points through there. 3 Exams, 35 questions each, and final. Keep up with McGraw hill and you will be fine. Do the Study Guides extremely helpful.

She is a great teacher you have to pay attention to do well on her tests! The tests are very hard if you do not pay attention. Her study guides are hard to follow. You can know everything on the study guide but may not understand questions on the test!

Great teacher. Clear about what she expects and what you need to do to get a good grade. Cares about her students success. Class is hard in general but, with Dr. Reece she helps make it easier to pass & get a good grade

super easy course! i recommend taking snapshots of all tophat questions because they will most likely be on the test. I don't like bio but i enjoyed her class. offers a lot of extra credit as well. also an SI course! only thing i didnt like was the book which did not help at all but do the homework because it's easy points.

She was really cool. The lectures were not the bad, we used top hat a lot! thats where you get your participation points. There is connect homework every other week, make sure you complete it! Her grading is off points system, really easy class and gives helpful study guides!

Reece's class was pretty easy to pass. If you show up and pay attention you'll be good. Just do the connect homework and top hat in class stuff and you'll get a C or better. Didn't put a lot of effort in and still got an A which is an 85% for the class.

If you're looking for a class where you don't physically need to be in class, this is it. She uses TopHat so just log in and participate from there. Attendance is required on days w/ in class activities. Extra-credit opportunities for each module and make sure you do the online homework

Easy class. Lectures were cool. I wish someone would've told me to not bother getting the textbook because the tests are based off of her Power Points from lecture. I suggest purchasing the Connect subscription for the online homework separately instead of the bundle from the bookstore. It will save you money and unnecessary clutter.

Classes are not mandatory, but her classes are very helpful. There is homework every week and sometimes time consuming. There is extra credit offered every unit and plenty of time is given to complete it.

Super easy class. You don't even have to go to lectures because she uses TopHat; just log in and answer the questions during the time of lecture. Weekly homework that isn't hard but can be time consuming. Tests are straight from the powerpoints, so you don't have to buy the book. Gives study guides that are straight from the test

Great professor. Shes really nice and cares about her students. She makes her lectures easy and understandable. This class taught me a lot!

Very good teacher, just go to the lectures and you'll understand what she is teaching which will help you on the tests. You get homework every weekend but you have 3 days to complete it. You use top hat during lectures for points there very easy points to earn. She offers A LOT of extra credit. You will pass this class as long as you do everything.

Very direct teacher, she uses tophat this app for lectures, you don't need the book its online, every week you will have something to do either a homework assignment or a unit test. She gives you a week for homework assignments and 3 days for test. Everything is online and she gives clear instructions. She gives a lot of extra credit opportunities

She's such a good professor. I only received a C because I didn't really try and I did none of the extra credit assignments but if you put the effort in you can EASILY get an A. She makes the class super easy and gives a lot of points throughout the semester and a lot of extra credit .

Her class was very easy. Her assignments aren't too difficult, and the tests are like the study guides she gives out. Just stay on task and do the extra credit and you will pass with a B or an A.

The homework and quizzes were all online when I took it, and you had two tries - highest grade was kept. Overall she asked very specific questions on everything so it was very time consuming. Labs were easy though. Overall, her lectures are clear and to the point, you would enjoy her class.

Great lectures if you show up and pay attention !

very direct. anything she says will be related to the subject and the slides are a good way to study for the test. very nice and funny. 10/10 very good prof.

Great teaching, great lecturer, overall a good teacher.

She offers a lot of extra credit. You should be fine as long as you do the TopHat questions in class and do your weekly quizzes on time. As for tests, just take notes during lecture and review them.

no textbook needed for this class. this class was super easy as long as you show up to class or go to si sessions. she was a great lecturer overall. also make sure to do extra credit, as they help a lot in the end

She uses top hat so you have to be in class in order to do well. She puts slides on blackboard but its helpful if you are in class and answering questions on top hat.

It was a very easy class for me. She uses tophat which helps review the material you are going over in class. If you have the discovere course you take tests and quizzes online which is a plus. I really recommend this class because of how easy and straightforward it is.

Dr. Reece is such a great professor and makes her lectures enjoyable. You have the weekly quizzes and rarely assigned HW through tophat. The Unit tests can be tricky at times but Dr. Reece explains her lectures really well which made understanding easy. She also gives a decent amount of extra credit. Highly recommend this professor for Bio 10.

Dr. Reece is an amazing professor! If you have the chance to take her class you definitely should. The class is straight forward and pretty easy. As long as you do the work and study you should have no problem passing. Dr. Reece also gives so many extra credit opportunities and it is important to take advantage of those!!

pretty easy class. weekly homeworkeasy. tests can be a bit tricky because they're mainly application questions, but if you make a study guide from her learning goals it's not that bad. interesting lectures, I learned a lot. can earn up to 50 points of extra credit, which definitely helps your grade! SI is offered, they helped understand bio better

Very good professor. She is extremely fair on her tests, as long as you pay attention in class you will pass. There are lots of opportunities for extra credit and the tests are online. She makes biology interesting.

Good overall

Dr. Reece is a great biology professor and her class was easy. Just show up to class, remember to do your homework on time, study for exams, and do good in lab then you should be fine. Attendance matters because your given participant points for being there and learning so make sure to not miss class a lot. There are up to 50 extra credits points.

Easy class. You will need to show up in order to answer top hat questions and complete activities. The entire class including tests are online. Tests aren't too hard but aren't easy either.

Her class is very simple. You follow along with her lectures on Tophat and answer questions for credit. You have one easy assignment per week. Her tests won't break your grade as long as you do the homework. And she offers many extra credit opportunities. She also regularly holds online class. Overall she is a good professor.

Professor Reece is a great professor to choose for BIO10! For someone who is not fond of science, I enjoyed being in her class. Tophat and quizzes during the weekend are mostly what you do in this course. You have a few tests that are a solid pass if you take good notes. Overall a great professor!

Dr. Reece is an amazing Bio professor she is straight forward in lectures, she makes sure that people understand the topic before moving on. She uses Top Hat every lecture, it's how she keeps track of students participation. So make sure to attend most if not all lectures throughout the semester.

Attending class matters because that is how participation points are gained unless you have a buddy who can log into your top hat account and answer the participation questions for you. The lectures made the subject more interesting and she can be funny at times. All the exams are online at home, would highly recommend.

Dr Reece is really easy. Just make sure to do your notes and pass every weekly test and youll pass the class with an A. Lab is worth a lot so make sure to pass LAB with a B and youll end up getting a A/B for the lecture if you do good on the tests. She also offers 50 points worth of extra credit.

Would take her again. Test are online so make friends in class and do them together. You have to buy Top hat to participate in class and if not you miss a ton of points. Offers tons of EC.

Offers 50 points of extra credit. A lot of Top Hat Points. Test are online. Hw is due @ the end of the week and it's easy.

It's like taking Biology in high school again, but more in depth actually. All you needed was a laptop in class (DISCOVERe). Heh, I got a B on the 1st exam, D on the second exam, C on the 3rd exam, C on the 4th exam, and F on the final, I still passed the class with an 85% (B). Make sure to come to class for participation points; very important! XD

She aight. I failed the final and still passed lol. If I can do it, you can do it.

Out of all my years in College. She is the professor that does not read off her slides. Reece talks as if she knows her stuff very very well. Always gives examples to understand the topic. Is reasonable towards grading. Lectures consist of videos, games, and podcasts. Trust me. Take this professor! You'll learn soo much! Best professor I ever had.

Top Hat is used and you can't make it up without a Dr's note, so go to class. Everything is online, including tests, so you can use notes from lecture, powerpoints online - going to lecture helps a lot. Tests & participation are easy. Tons of easy extra credit. Class has SI though I never went. Weekly homework quizzes. Makes it fun and interesting.

Very nice professor, she is funny and will be open to students. She is very easy to talk to and gives very good advice.

There was a lot of homework for this class, just so many online quizzes to stay on top of. The TopHat software you use for this class can be buggy at times with its grading of assignments, so beware. The professor herself knows her material, and gets it across well. She came off a bit overly annoyed however with questions she deemed unrelated.

AMAZING PROFESSOR!! Super easy class, just pay attention and turn in your work on time. She's super chill, hilarious and down to earth. Cracks jokes all the time and is really friendly. Her grading is very specific and helps you with all of your assignments. Her assignments are very easy and her ISA's are helpful too.

Dr Reece is an amazing biology professor! This professor knows exactly what she is talking about. She lectures heavy every class session. There is no book, but you do have to purchase TOPHAT, which is like a class interaction app. There is a quiz every week and theres 3 tests (1 test /2 units). Tons of extra credit!

Dr. Reece made Bio 10 interesting and fun when I had her for Fall 2019 in lecture. She's very friendly person. Overall her class was super easy and explained well her concepts. The class consists of doing TopHat in a application by doing some questions for participation points, exams, homework and 50 extra credit points to bring up your grade.

I took her GE biology class. It was a lecture class, but not boring. She gives extra credit opportunities. You do have to go to class to get top hat participation points, but she doesn't make it difficult.

She assigns weekly quizzes with either reading, podcasts, or Youtube videos that tie into it. Her class was not so difficult, but her exams are complexed as the concepts from the material of lectures are applied. She offers a lot of extra credit, has flexible assignment due dates, was not much of a difficult class. STUDY FOR EXAMS!

10/10 professor! I had her for CSM 10 and 15 and I really enjoyed her class. Tough grader but if you ask her questions outside of class she is very willing to help you out and you'll definitely get the grade you want. She's super kind and very considerate of your own schedule if you just let her know. Stay on top of the work cause there is a lot.

She explains things thoroughly and is lenient on assignments.

I took her class asynchronously. If you ever needed any help, she would guide you to get your answer. She communicated well, even if we never met on Zoom. Overall, a great teacher!

Recommend taking during the Intersessions. Had clear instructions, material was easy to read, responds to emails fast, and answers any questions you have. Labs were online simulations with unlimited attempts. Had about 12 assignments due per week, but you will get them all done on time if you do not procrastinate. Can get up to 40 extra credit pts.

Good professor overall. There are two quizzes due every two weeks. The lectures have all the info you need for the exam. The exams are easy as long as you make sure to go over your notes as much as you can. I would say attendance is important because you get participation points if you attend and answer the questions on TopHat during the lectures.

Professor Reece gives great lectures and the content will be posted on Tophat afterward if you miss anything (HW is on there too). Not a lot of homework. Generally, if you take good notes, you'll do fine. LOTS of extra credit, too. Tests are a good portion of your grade but they are online on your own time. Very easy class.

Very easy and flexible class. The class has a total of 1000 points. These points come from quizzes, tophat points, lab points, and test. She also offers extra credit, I got almost 90 extra credit points that definitely helped me out.

I liked her lectures. She posts slides on Top Hat so the students can review them before midterms and the final. Part of the grade comes from quizzes that are complementary readings, podcasts or videos that definitely help to understand better the concepts and how they are related to the world which I found that very interesting.

This course is a lot of information, and Dr. Reece will tell you everything she expects you to know. Everything in the lectures is fair game for the exam, so make sure to dedicate a good chunk of time to study. This course takes time dedication to get a good grade, so study before the day prior to the exam, and you will do fine.

Great and easy-to-understand professor. Very easy lectures and slides on tophat. Good professor overall.

Dr. Reece provided several extra credit opportunities for us to help boost our grade. Be ready to study because there were 6 midterm exams (lowest score dropped) and one cumulative final. The class is not difficult if you study effectively. The content is 90% memorization so taking time outside of class to review the material is essential.

This class was difficult because of the amount of memorization, not so much the content itself. People complained but did not put in the time to study properly for exams. If you want to do well, you have to put in the time (~4 hr/week). The exams were based directly from the slides which were lengthy but doable. 6 exams, lowest score dropped.

6 tests + final = you will be preparing for tests the whole semester The content itself is not hard but it is the quantity that makes it difficult. Some questions on the test were vague but there is always extra credit on the test. Use the study guide to make flashcards and dont study last minute to pass the course.

Dr. Reece is a great and fair professor. Bio 1B is a difficult course with a lot to learn but she everything she can to teach all of it to the class in a short period of time. Not much homework but studying is important. Lectures contain a lot of information. Most of the grade was exams and quizzes.

Loved taking her BIOL10 class. Took it to cover a gen ed credit. Barely had to worry about assignments. Extremely light course load. Take notes in the lectures because all tests are open note! Mostly based on middle to high school science. Would recommend!!! Only cost was the Tophat subcription ($20) and the lab handbook (abt $30).

She is very nice and does a good job challenging us.

She def has a personality, but she's an amazing teacher. For lecture and lab, make sure to complete the study guides! She makes the exams using these. the lab is more difficult than the lecture. For lab, make sure to take pictures of the cards she has around the counters, those questions will have info for lab exams. Lots of EC available

She's not the most approachable person but she teaches very well. I only studied the audio recordings I'd take in class and her slides, and got A's and one B on all exams. Lowest is dropped. Her study guides actually reflect her exams in both lab and lecture. The content isn't hard, it's just a lot. Give yourself time to study and you'll do fine.

I have zero complaints about this course. I think the material was taught very well and she keeps her lectures interesting. Exams are a lot, but she offers extra credit and is very clear about what will be on them. Offers up to 2% extra credit for the whole semester, which I feel was well worth it. Overall, I feel I learned a lot and it paid off.

She is not as bad as people make her seem. She can be intimidating and hard to approach sometimes, but she obviously has to be strict to some extent in a difficult class. Exam material always aligns with what's on the lecture study guides. Study those and watch any relevant YouTube videos that aren't oversimplified to get any background info.

Very solid professor. She can come off as mean sometimes but it's not bad natured. Lectures are information dense, and exam questions rely heavily on lecture. Five exams and a final. Studied about a week out for all of them. Go to office hours for help. Go to SI! Not an easy A but definitely not impossible.
