Dr. Angela Mick is an excellent professor. Her lectures are straight to the point. Her exams are so easy and all she covers in lecture is exactly on the Exam. Her labs are super fun and the lab practicals are so easy. I recommend her for all students who want to take Bio201.

Second semester with Mick. The information in 202 is more enjoyable than that of 201. Exams based on material covered in lectures, daily quizzes worth 4 points each and cool lectures/labs. Not an easy A but at this point in your college career if you are looking for an easy A in a science course maybe you should re-evaluate your career choices...

I feel so lucky that I was able to have Dr. Mick for 202. Unlike some other professors, she elaborately goes through each section in lab & helps you memorize. She also breaks the exams up into smaller, multiple exams giving a huge opportunity for success. The quizzes given at the beginning of class help for studying along the way between exams.

I had her for 2 semesters, and 201 is harder than 202. The exams are just as hard, but the practicals are easier. She seemed to be in a better mood this semester, so I enjoyed her class much more. She joked around more. But now the notecard questions are worth less now and don't provide much of a grade boost when the extra credit kicks in.

Dr Mick is a good, caring teacher, but her class is hard. Many times her lecture, slides and textbook did not match. Put in the time to study and you will be able to catch these occurrences. She is kind and willing to clarify via email or office visit. Her exams are hard and she fell behind in both 201 and 202 and began to rush the material.
