The most useful advice I can give you: GO TO CLASS. While attendance is not mandatory and is checked at random, you stand to lose crucial points if you miss an in-class assignment (they are usually unannounced). It's an easy course if you study the lecture notes (on black board) and skim the chapters in the book. Great teacher---interesting.

Test are very hard and so are quizzes. Test have 4 short answer, quizzes consist of 8-10 short answer. Attendance is mandatory but she will only count some of them for a grade and gives in class assignments which can not be made up. No extra credit given. Takes 2-3 weeks to grade tests and quizzes.

Professor Bunnell is such a nice teacher. She will help you if you have questions. There were a couple of assignments, a quiz every week (which were helpful because some were used as exam questions), lowest exam score will be dropped, packback every week.

Most boring class I have ever had. Her lectures are so boring and her examples make no sense. The tests are so hard and she doesn't tell you what to study. Makes study guides but it's just a guide. She doesn't know how to work technology so watch your grade with the attendance. If you have questions ask her in person because she does not do emails.

has attitude for any question you have. If it is not to be said "legitimate", then it is not acceptable and she will not respond. although I have sent several and they all seem legitimate to me. But I never got a response. Tests are extremely difficult with no guide on what it will be except a study guide she calls it with no help.

I wouldn't take her again because she's not the best teacher, you'll learn most the material on your own or just NOT at all. 4 exams including final. Final is fairly easy. POP assignments, not quizzes. All the HW is through MES & she takes attendance through Learning Catalytic's. I'd say take notes on paper, listen & study from quizlet & u may pass

She knows her stuff. DO NOT GET THE TEXTBOOK. Only reason you won't pass this class is because of YOU. Take good notes, review them, stay off your phone, don't talk during lectures and you will be fine. Sometimes she says important things for the tests that are not on the PowerPoint so pay attention. The class size is huge so email is not ideal.

I love biology but, she shows videos and gets the class involved with learning catalytics. She gives homework every week online which is a great review for the test.

She teaches the bare minimum in class lectures. If you don't go home and read the text book, make your own study guides, and meet up with other class members you won't pass. Her powerpoint slides are copy and pasted from small parts in the book but doesn't explain the concepts. Also she rarely answers her emails so don't expect much help from her.

You can tell Ms. Bunnell knows the subject matter very well. Her powerpoints can be redundant however, the information covered in them is useful because the study guides do not go over all of the material on the tests. There are four tests and an optional final exam- she'll drop the lowest grade. Attend class, and you'll finish with a decent grade

She drops your lowest exam grade, and if you're satisfied with your grade you don't have to the the final. Also, don't buy the textbook, I used it once.
