For Cell biology, this lady is really nice, but the material is very difficult. I recommend taken a few more upper level Bio courses before than this one. A good chemistry background helps as well.

Good teacher, kinda boring lectures because she repeats with 2 or 3 slides, but she does it so you understand the material. If you study the powerpoints and check out some of the stuff on moodle she is easy. Dont take this class if you just looking for a gen ed, she expects university level understanding and work.

A lot of info and it's not explained very well. However, she is extremely helpful in her office hours. From what I've heard about the other profs, it's best to just avoid 309 if you can

Fantastic professor! Very pleased. Lectures are very clear and provide a nice outline about what you should focus on for the exams. The only reason the averages were low were probably because some students just do not study or put in any time/effort. She is a wonderful professor!

Is very straight to the point and does lectures off powerpoint presentations. She does post the presentation on moodle so you can listen to her talk in class and print them out later. Attendance quizes given (about 7) and the online labs are really easy. Exams weren't too difficult if you studied and paid attention in class.

Very sharp professor, smart as a whip and very very knowledgeable. Presents information in a clear, concise, and structured manner. I am very impressed!

Nice woman, but not the best prof by any means. This class is not very in depth. A lot of material is covered and you have to know how to study. If you don't study, you are not going to do well. It is a college level course, you cant expect to not attend class and do well, it doesn't happen. Study and you will pass.

Awesome professor! She was so helpful and would explain things to anyone who was confused. She offered my class almost 20 points of extra credit simply for studying some online modules! Tests are fair - no trick questions. Very straightforward...no hidden agenda. What she lectures is what is on her tests. No surprises.

Dr. Sturtevant was incredibly helpful and she used an ample amount of examples to better explain the subject matter. She offered many extra credit opportunities. If you study, go to class and take advantage of extra credit, there is no reason you can't get a 3.0 or above. I highly suggest taking BIO 111 with her :)

I took this class online. It didn't take much work at all. I spent about a week before each test studying and I got 3.3. The tests were pretty challenging. 3 tests all multiple choice. Lots of memorizing!!! She was very helpful and stayed in touch via email consistently. If you can learn on your own take it online! It was a good course!

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER BECAUSE SHE IS ORGANIZED, EASY TO UNDERSTAND, AND MAKES THE LEARNING PROCESS A LITTLE MORE INTERESTING THAN I HAD THOUGHT. SHE IS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE.THE COURSE ITSELF IS CHALLENGING BUT IF YOU STUDY HARD YOU'LL PASS HER CLASS.

Smart, concise and helpful. She's good about answering ?'s. Lots of material and memorizing but it's all given to you beforehand. Don't need to show up, all the material is in the ppt but it helps me personally. If people are really struggling with intro bio courses with her, just drop out. Stupid to see a good prof get bad ratings over intro bio

Good Professor. She explains things thoroughly and clearly, albeit sometimes a little quickly. If unclear on something, just look at her lecture powerpoints on Moodle- everything you need to know is *right* there. Studying is a MUST for bio 111, but all the resources (ie extra credit) she provides make passing the course absolutely possible.

I had no interest in biology before this class but now I'm considering a health career. Professor Sturtevant is so organized and concise. She explains all material thoroughly and there is plenty of extra credit. This class was pretty easy, a review of HS biology, but I certainly learned a lot of material. I would recommend to non science majors.

Took BIO 104 with her. She makes lecture outlines that are very helpful and does extra credit! She isn't very engaging though. She doesn't take attendance but will occasionally (aprox. 5-6 times the semester) give out attendence worksheets. If you study and go to class you will do well... as goes for any class though.

OK teacher.. She mostly just reads of the powerpoints so sometimes it's not even worth going to class because she puts them online. She offers a ton of extra credit and the virtual labs aren't that hard. You can't go into this class thinking that it's going to be easy though. DO THE OUTLINES AND EXTRA CREDIT.. and study and you'll be fine.

Her lectures are dry because she just reads off the slides. However, if you can manage to stay awake going to class is a good idea because she does example problems on the camera. Exams aren't that hard though they may seem like it at first. Memorize the outlines she gives you in class (that follow the ppt sildes) and you'll do fine on them.

I LOVED this woman and her class. Her exams are right off her slides and she will explain difficult concepts over and over again until any idiot could understand it. Yes, there is a ton of information she goes through, but she is a great professor and I have learned so much in this class! Plus- lots of extra credit!!!

Excellent professor. Very helpful. I had to go to the SI sessions, which are EXTREMELY helpful. I highly recommend going to them. Although she tend s to read directly from the slides, which can be rather boring, they are very helpful and she is very good at explaining difficult concepts. I plan on taking her for other BIO classes!

Excellent professor. Hard to pay attention sometimes, but she goes over the hard points several times, does a good job explaining things, is a very fair grader, and is more than willing to answer E-Mails. Class is not easy by nature, but she is a good a professor as you could ask for.

One of the best profs I have ever had at OU! Always willing to help! Second exam was the hardest! her quizzes help you a lot in preparation for the exams! Offers extra credit! hard class, for a good grade I'd take it with Dr. Ann. I ended with a 3.5, this class is very possible! Save your self trouble and take it with Dr. Ann :)

The people who don't like this prof is because they don't study and are to lazy do any kind of work. As long as you study, do the extra credit, and come to class you'll do great. I Ended up with a 4.0 in the class but I did work for it.

I ADORED HER! She is an EXCELLENT professor. People complain that she just reads off the Powerpoints, but its bio, what else can you expect her to do? She is VERY clear and her outlines were extremely helpful. PRINT THEM! and do NOT buy the book. 4.0'ed the class without using it once.

I suggest to others to at least have some knowledge of orgo before entering this class. Although this professor was excellent to my standards, the class itself needs a lot of studying. Don't expect a 4.0 without studying at least 10 hours/week!

I highly recommend printing out her outlines and following along with the lectures. You can get a 4.0 in this class! She offers extra credit through connect it does cost $60 but get it. I promise you won't regret it! It helped me a lot when studying for the tests. This class was interesting and easy She is very clear and willing to help you do well

I was very nervous prior to taking this class. However, Dr. Ann Sturtevant made this class much less nerve-wracking. Her lectures were a bit long but the information came directly from her own ppt and her exams were made straight from the information in the ppt. You definitely need to study hard but a 4.0 is possible. Offers EC!

She's a very good professor and really knows her stuff well. Biology is hard but if you study and carefully read her power point slides you will do well in her class. Also going to SI is a good idea if you have a hard time understanding the materials. Exams are challenging but if you go to class, study, and read her slides you will be fine.

she is a good teacher but its so hard to pay attention because she is so monotone and just reads off the powerpoint. you wouldn't even need to show up if it wasn't for her iclicker questions because she posts everything on moodle. you will never use the book just memorize everything in her power points and you will be fine. gives extra credit

This Class is fairly easy. Mrs. Sturtavent gives you all of the information that you need through her power points. Reading the book is not mandatory. In fact the density of the information she presents in class is much less than that in the book. The tests are extremely straight forward. Quizzes are slightly tougher but you get to drop one.

If you show up to class and participate in the iClicker questions, you get easy extra credit. Her exams are largely based on the questions that she asks on the quizzes. She only tests on what she covers in class so you don't have to spend extra time reading the textbook. She never tries to trick you, and her exams are pretty straight forward.

Ann is honestly a great professor. Participation is MANDATORY, but you will really never open the book. She goes through everything in class that will be on her quizzes and tests. You need to show up to class to earn participation points, but its optional to take notes because everything is on her online power points . Prepare to study hard.

This is a difficult course by nature but Prof. Sturtevant makes is pretty easy to understand and is available to help you. Her tests and quizzes are straight from her ppts and they can be tricky at times but overall not too bad. Offers a lot of E.C. Only need to come to class for iclicker points. She can be rude sometimes but shes approachable.

Biology in general is something i struggle with but she made this class a lot easier then i thought to 4.0. Definitely recommend her!

She gives a lot of quizzes, but they are very helpful because they help you study along the way so you don't end up cramming before an exam. If you work hard and go to SI, you could easily pass this class with a great grade. It is a challenging course, I don't think I could have done as well if I had taken it with someone else.

Do not take her MW because it is the most boring hour and 45 minutes you will ever experience. HOWEVER, she is an awesome person. Always positive. Very straight forward with what is expected. Study her powerpoints, and you will pass. EXTRA CREDIT is offered like crazy, you just have to be willing to spend time on it

This class is not that hard as long as you read a lot from her ppts, they are very useful, don't bother buying the book. She gives a lot of EC on the exams and iclicker questions. The quizzes are harder than the exams so don't freak out thinking that the exams will be as hard. The second exam is the hardest so study A LOT! I ended up with a 4.0

I really enjoyed the class! Prof. Sturtevant's guidelines and expectations were clear and she was helpful with questions as well.

Lectures are long, and monotone. The tests are hard and in detail, you really need to know the criteria. The quizzes are given every 3 lectures and are harder than the tests. Attendance is mandatory, because iClicker questions are in every lecture which will give you extra credit in the class.

Long, monotone, boring lectures; however, she goes through and reviews the harder concepts. Gives a lot of extra credit. I never touched my book, but the connect is mandatory. Multiple iClicker questions are given throughout the lecture, so attendance is also mandatory. Quizzes are tougher than the exams. Overall fair class and professor.

I never used the textbook. She posts all of her power point and lectures online so you don't really need to go to class but I did. She gives tons of extra credit. All of the online exercises that come with the book were extra credit, some iclicker questions were extra credit, and there was some built into tests. Quizzes are online, tests aren't bad

This is not an easy class. Lectures are all on power-point. Quizzes and tests are very difficult. Gives lots of extra credit, but you must be present to receive. Pay attn to her iclicker questions-they are a good indicator of the level of knowledge she expects. Labs are all online. Take her if you are going into bio - you'll learn a ton.

Dr. Sturtevant is a very good teacher. She breaks down biological concepts and makes them easier to understand. She prepares detailed power points with repetitions that help you to remember. If you examine them before class, you'll understand and be more attentive. Commit the time to learn and you will excel. I took BIO 341 & 113 with her.

I meant to say I took BIO 341 and 111 with her.

Attendance is based on whether or not you answer the iclicker question for that day. I didn't touch the textbook but there was online homework for each chapter so you'll need to get the access codes. There are five exams including the final but they're easy to pass. I got an 86 on the final without studying at all.

Great teacher and she knows her stuff. Hilarious too!

Her Class had Iclicker questions in class (which is a small part of your grade), online timed quizes, take home assignments, and A LOT of extra credit. For many the material is complicated but she has great reviews that help a lot. She draws pictures to help people understand material. She made a complicated class that is possible to get a 4.0 in.

I took BIO 104 with Dr. Sturtevant as an online class. The class consisted of reading one chapter with a quiz, group discussion, and sometimes a lab each week. It has been 6 years since I took high school biology, this class was very similar but a bit more in depth. For the online class, we had to meet 3 times on campus for exams.

I took Bio 111 with Dr. Sturtevant. Although she has her quirks she, is an overall all around great educator. I hope to have her again for my next course, now that I know what she expects from me as the student and I know how she operates.

Very sweet woman, cares about the material and gives real world examples to engage the students. The PowerPoints and lecture outlines are very disorganized, to the point that it can be hard to follow along. Lectures are not consistent with the book and connect homework, but the exams are consistent with what she lectures on.

Very good teacher, awesome lectures. Gives so much extra credit.

Dr. Sturtevant is a great professor! Her lectures are long, but very clear. Tests are all multiple choice, and a review is given. Exams are difficult, but that's just Biology in general, Dr. Sturtevant makes it understandable!

Ann is fantastically passionate about what she teaches but you will need to actively participate to learn the material, as it is difficult and technical. She is great at conveying and takes her time to explain complicated concepts. Great professor. Uses iClickers and extra credit is built into exams.

Prof Sturtevant is very clear about how you will be graded. She knows her stuff and is willing to answer questions in class. Sturtevant also makes sure to do exam review in class which gives you hints as to what will be on the exam. As long as you study, show up to class, answer the iClicker questions, and do your online homework, you can ace it.

Great Prof!!! Highly recommend taking her. Yeah bio is a hard class but she does everything she can to help students and you can tell that she wants students to do well. She also gives extra credit which is great!!!!

Ann is fantastic! I've taken both Botany and Plant Physiology with her. I really loved attending her lectures. It's not all textbook: she makes sure to include interesting facts and examples whenever possible. She's always sure to take time after notes to draw diagrams that make complex topics digestible. You won't regret taking a class with her!

There is no doubt about it - Genetics is a hard class, especially towards the end, and Ann does not necessarily make it easier. Her exams are typically long and somewhat difficult, but she ends up giving out a bunch of extra credit. Her lectures also tend to be dry. Quizzes are doable. iClicker points are important! I ended up learning a lot.

Not sure how her ratings are so low. I took her for human bio and she's the sweetest lady. If you like the human body, put in the work, and keep up on homework you'll be perfect. Her exams are pretty easy too, she gives you a study guide. Her class was my favorite. If I could take her again, I would.

Her lectures are lengthy but really straight forward. She also provide outline notes that help as well. She uses Iclickers for points. She is an easy grader that curves tests. She really just want everyone to succeed!! She reviews before tests, etc. The final is not cumulative either which is awesome. Great professor!!

This class is hard because of the topics covered. Her lectures were very informative and helpful and she gives good handouts of what will be on the test. Study the powerpoints and lecture notes. For online you are proctored for every test. This class is a lot of work but I enjoyed the challenge and was happy I picked Prof. Sturtevant.

The class is hard because of how many chapters are on each exam. Definitely study her powerpoints and lecture videos. Exams are on ProctorU and on google meet. Final exam wasn't cumulative which was really nice. There is a quiz each week but you get two attempts, and the labs were easy.

The lectures were rough because of how much information was on them. Exams were based off of her power points, not the homework (which is slightly different). She handled class questions well.

Test are average. If you go to class consistently the information will come easy to you. There is SI available. Lectures get kind of boring. The first exam is the hardest so do not stress if you dont do the greatest because the other concepts are easier. Overall good prof, take her over the other ones.

Professor Sturtevant was a very fair professor. As long as you put the work into the class you'll get a good grade. As long as you do the homework and online labs you'll get 100%. Tests are very straight forward and every test had some questions for extra credit. Final exam wasn't cumulative.

This class is basically like high school biology. She posted PowerPoints and lectures online and you could watch them on your own time. We had multiple quizzes, forums, labs, and 5 exams. For exams, she made us go on proctorU and record ourselves + join on google meets from our phone to show our surroundings and keyboard while taking the exams.

She does not put material on exams that aren't from lectures. Has reviewsdays where she tells you want is gona be on the exam and what you need to know to do well. Students blow this class out of proportion for how hard it is when it reality it's just from a lack of studying on their end. You need to put in the work to do well. Love Ann. Recommend

There were quizzes once a week, but they weren't terrible. Whatever she lectured was usually on the quizzes and tests. STUDY GOOD and you will get a good grade in the class. Also, I did almost terrible on most of the exams, and I still passed with a B. DO ALL THE ASSIGNMENTS before their due date and you will pass guaranteed. She is a good prof.

Listening, taking notes, and paying attention are crucial to understanding. Most people don't pay attention during lectures, fail to realize the error is on their end, and proceed to blame teachers for their shortcoming/s. I could definitely pass the class based on the resources posted. She's also communicative about testing accommodations.

Professor Sturtevant is great! She teaches very well and helps a lot. She reviews each topic after lecturing by writing out everything you need to know which is super helpful. Her exams and quizzes are very similar to the powerpoints which are very understandable. She gives a lot of time to do assignments and informs students weeks in advance .

One of my favorite profs; you can tell she's interested in her job and actually wants her students to do well. Attending lectures is important as there are around 1-3 iclicker points a day, but I missed a couple classes and still ended with a 99%. As long as you study off of the slides you do not need to worry about quizzes or exams AT ALL.

Dr. Sturtavent was an awesome professor. Attendance is not required for your grade, though you need to show up to class to understand material and get Clicker points! You can meet with this professor during office hours and she is not hesitant by any means to offer help, you just have to be willing to ask for it. I would recommend Ann to anyone.

The class is all lectures, can get very boring. Uses Cengage, which was a pain for me and called for long hours. Will always do a lot of review. You definitely have to put a lot of effort into this class. Final exam isn't cumulative.

Her lectures can be dry, but very clear about what she expects you to know. She will tell you what to focus on & if she's repeating herself- it's for a reason, pay attention! Exams are based on lectures, not the book, so don't skip. Not a "fun" professor but knowledgeable and straightforward. Serious students will do well, some got 100%+ overall.

Ann is an awesome professor! You have weekly quizzes that you can take two times and they are pretty easy if you study the power points. Her class is difficult like all BIO classes so I recommend going to lecture to get Clicker points which can seriously help your grade out. TAKE ANN!

Go to every lecture for iclicker points because it WILL help and/or maintain your grade. Memorize EVERYTHING on the power points for each exam and you'll get an A. with this professor, if you get a bad grade it reflects you. meaning you didn't study. EC on all exams. exams were straightforward. no questions required out of the box thinking.

Professor Sturtevant's class is straightforward - attend lectures, study the slides, and you'll do well. unstuck study was a great supplement for test prep.

Anyone who says this class was hard just did not study. She is a very fair and professional professor. She states her exams are based solely on the lectures and stands by that, making the exams very easy. She also offers a lot of extra credit making it very easy to finish with an A in the class.

Take this professor! At first she seemed strict and as a freshman, this class seemed hard considering you're new to uni. But compared to other bio teachers, she gives total of four exams, including the final! Other bio teachers had around five exams. LOTS of extra credit and she will help you! Quizzes are doable. Go to SI too the leader is amazing.

I took this online and received an A+. You'll need the online book for the homework, but reading it isn't necessary. If you watch and fill out the lecture outlines, you have all the tools to create Quizlets. The professor always responds to emails promptly and gives many extra credit opportunities. Exams are hard but manageable if you study hard.

Even tho the class was difficult and never got anything higher then a c in any of the exams I was able to pass with a b due to all the extra credits. Make sure u study for at least 3 days before an exam and u will be fine!

Professor Sturtevant was easily the best professor I have taken at OU. Biology is a subject with lots of information, and she does a great job of explaining it. The material for the exam is strictly from her slides, so if you really study and master them you will succeed in this class. Go to class and participate in i clickers, lots of extra credit

she is a decent professor but doesn't give feedback on anything. The lectures are long and hard to keep up with in class, but she posts them in moodle so you can look back at them after class. There are a total of 5 exams through the semester.

There are a total of 4 exams throughout the course. All the exams are heavily based off the PowerPoints. There's a lot of extra credit opportunities. She posts a lot of resources in Moodle to help you study. Only downsides are that she reads off the PowerPoints and they're super long, but at least you know exactly what you need to study.

Took her my first semester, just finished my first year here. She hooks you up with everything you need to know as well as some more. PowerPoints may be long + everyone complaining but down the road you will realize that professors never hook you up like Prof Sturtevant does. she does a great job esp in a first semester freshmen class. Put in work.

Very nice professor, long lectures but she made content really easy to understand. As long as you pay attention in class, take notes, complete all assignments, and study for quizzes and exams this is an easy A. You do need to pay for online access to textbook/homework and iClicker for some required class material. She also offers some extra credit.

Dont believe these reviewrs SHE IS ACTAULLY NOT AS BAD OF A PROFESSOR. As long as u take notes in class u will be good. I am not that smart but i studied a lot. As long as u put in the work, it shouldnt be so hard. Her icklers questions and any qs she has will most likely be on the exam(similar). STUYD PPT NOT BOOK. better than any other professor
