She's really into what she teaches, which is good,but her exams can be a real pain. Pretty much memorize her notes and you'll be sort-of ok. I'm currently taking her bio 301 course and she's also making us wrire a research paper. Not too easy, but overall she's pretty cool.

Use the notes as a study guide for the textbook and put a strong emphasis on the notes. When writing the paper, avoid plagarism at all costs. Exams are straight forward but there are writing questions. Generous grading curve. You will do well if you understand the notes.

Good Prof, really knows her stuff and is enthusiastic about the course. Is a bit goofy (her words). Lectures and book are vital. Tests can be tough as there is a LOT of info covered, but if you study you will do well. Does have a tendency to nitpick in grading and dock .5 points here and there which is annoying. Overall I recommend her.

Overall the class was ok. Keep in mind that this was a summer course of only 6 weeks. This meant there was an exam just about every 5 classes.

I took this course as a university requirement. I believe she expected too much from our class and treated us like we were choosing Biology as our major.

The soundness of her test questions give light to her experience as a teacher. A biologist lecturing over powerpoint slides, zero teaching strategies implemented.

She grades your tests based on your use of words. Even if it is obvious that you understand the answer and concept, you can lose full points by leaving out one word. Also, I feel that if she doesnt like you, she will grade you more harshly. Not recommended.

Course in general was difficult but she was incredibly passionate about Biology. If you pay attention and add side notes to the slide she posts you should do fine on exams.

Extremely nit-picky and strict on grading. Will mark off points on the exam whenever she feels. DON'T take this class unless you want to destroy your gpa. Does not care whether you pass or fail; most are failing in this class and she spends most of class joking around instead of actually teaching. The worst professor in CSU. Minimal to no curves.

Do not take. She was awful. Made a class that I already did not like or find particularly interesting and made it a nightmare. Get ready to study for days straight only to get a D on the exams. She marked me off for using AI to write my essay and when I told her I didn't she said there was nothing she could do and that she didn't believe me.

Emphasis on "lots of homework". The amount of time you have to spend on the homework's she gives through mastering biology is unrealistic. It takes forever and takes away from actually studying her material. Her exams are wordy and are often confusing at least for me. The SI leaders really help, I just don't recommend this professor

dr. corbett was a terrible professor. went to office hours once and she told me i was standing too close to her, as she does not care about you. tests are extremely difficult, i would study for so many hours a week only to receive curved b's. si didn't really help either. lots of homework, and a huge cumulative final. avoid this course if possible!

This class wasnt as bad as people say. Only study the powerpoints and learning catalytics and you'll be set. She wont help but doesn't do anything to hurt your grade.

This class was actually terrible. The amount of time she wanted you to study each week was unrealistic with the amount of homework & assignments given. The weekly homework & assignments took at least two hours and did not help much. There is alot of information on each powerpoint. Only plus about her is she curves the exams. She's very old school.

Would take again

I took Dr. Corbett for the summer semester as a six-week course. It was difficult but she did everything she could to help the class. Summer sessions are no joke but if you stay engaged, ask questions, and do the readings then you'll be okay. She's more than willing to help if you show interest in the material. Def would take again

Test were abnormally hard, consisting of at least 6 chapters per test. The final was cumulative, with 100 questions. Homework did not help at all, assigned a minimum of 2-3 assignments a week. Don't skip the lectures, she takes attendance through iClicker. The one thing that I really did appreciate was how high her curves were.
