She tries hard, real hard, so there is no problem there. However, sadly, she has a deep Iranian accent and jumps all around subjects in lectures. It is much easier and effective to just work out of the book, and you'll get a better grade. In a class of 50, all but 4 failed the first exam. Mind we studied nothing but high-school level subjects.
Absolutely terrible professor. She is often rude when students ask questions and she doesn't do a very good job of answering them.The exam questions aren't clear (frequent grammatical errors and generally poor wording). You're allowed to miss 2 small assignments and there are 6 exams in all. Make sure she gives you credit on work that you turn in.
Terrible professor...cant understand her...teaches like we r 3rd graders yet tests are virtually IMPOSSIBLE...i believe that she was hired at the last second. Find ANYONE else if you get stuck with her...
Absolutely awful professor. The breadth of material covered is exorbitant and not at all appropriate for a 100 level class. She is very unhelpful and, at times arrogant. Do NOT take her!
This proff is just great. I have learned in here class about biology than i have my whole life, and poor ratings are only of those loosers. It is not true that her exams are hard, all you need to do is stay the whole time during the exam and read questions carefully. students who finish first get the lowest grades.
It is true that most of the students didn't do well on the exams, but if you study her power points you will definetly get an A on this class. Ask questions during the exam she will help u a lot. don't listen to other students.
Her exam questions are worded in a confusing way. If your good a biology maybe you'll be okay but I don't know science well and I struggled the whole time. She makes up dumb assignments that are not helpful and just are a waste of time. Her power points are good but she should reevaluate her exams because the questions are confusing.
If you get her, drop the class. She does not speak english. You think I'm joking? Sadly, I'm not. The material is soooo easy, and yet with her its soooo hard.
RUN!!! DROP THIS CLASS!! I was an honors biology student in highschool and got As. This class was ridiculously hard and I couldn't understand a word she said nor did her tests make sense. I hated every minute of the class. It will turn into the class that single handedly ruins your GPA.
She really is not as bad as a professor as most people are saying. People are exaggerating her accent, it really isn't that hard to understand (I've seen way worse). All you need to do is study the powerpoints and you'll be fine; that's all I do and I'm getting 99% in that class. She explains the material fine, just pay attention in lecture.
She is very smart and knows biology well. The accent isn't too bad. THe only downfall are the tests that are confusingly worded. Luckily, she curves her tests if lots of people miss certain questions. Not a bad teacher at all
This professor is absolutely terrible. I took Biology in high school and did fine. Coming here and taking Avisa was the worst thing I could have done. She has a passion for what she teaches, but she jumps around in class from topic to topic. On top of that, she does not take the time to answer her students' questions. Take a different prof!
Her accent isn't really that bad. She just needs to work on the phrasing in her exams, because you can definitely tell there is something up in that department.
She means well, but her teaching skills need a lot of work. Shes jumpy and doesn't clearly state what she wants. She does everything from power point but her exams are very hard. I would suggest having another professor.
she really isn't as bad as people are stating here.Her accent isn't that bad at all. My favorite thing about her class is that she uses power points a lot in her teaching. Its like she takes notes for you, but you just have to pay attention.
She is a good teacher
nice. she tried hard. it didnt really work though.
Her accent wasn't terrible, but the way she phrases things and explains the topics is incredibly confusing at times. She tends to lose focus and get side tracked easily during class and she struggles to stay on topic. Tests were difficult and poorly written. Homework was easy, as she doesn't really grade it as long as its turned in. Don't take her.
I had a lot of trouble with her
She was very rude to me when I needed help and a few times, I asked her for some help with some problems and she gave me the answers she said were right, then gave the entire class other answers the next day. she seems to hold a grudge and I had to report her to the head of the department and the dean. I wouldn't suggest taking her class.
She's really passionate about what she teaches. Her accent can be hard to understand at times. Everything is based on powerpoints so it gets very boring.
She goes into one thing way too much, and she seems to drag on. Plus it's really hard for me to understand what she is talking about half the time. And her quizzes at the beginning of class are hard to understand and you don't get enough time to read through the questions.
She makes an easy subject hard. Do not buy the book, I never even opened it. Lectures are entirely off of her powerpoints, I read those and felt no need to come to class since I would only fall asleep...but there are quizes EVERY class period...and she finds a way to word them to be impossible. Sry to be discouraging, good luck
Impossible to understand! Fights with her students, completely disrespectful if a student had a question... witnessed MANY arguments!, what you can understand you just hear her repeating the same thing over and over again... AVOID HER!!!!
I think I enjoyed the class more than I enjoyed the professor. Her accent makes her hard to understand, but not unbearable. Her powerpoints make it easy to study, you really don't even have to go to class if you read and review the powerpoints. I rarely went to class (less than half the time) and walked away with an A-
HORRIBLE PROF... if you aren't an ace at bio stay away from this prof.
I'm not sure why everyone says she's so awful. I'm not a bio major and I had no trouble with this class. She lectures on exactly what you need to know, and if you read the book for backup, you'll ace the tests. Her accent is not bad at all, and she's very nice. It is an easy A as long as you read and pay attention!
I like her, her accent is not bad at all. I like to hear her talk. It is true about not needing the book. The powerpoints are all you need.
i didn't like her and couldn't understand her. i don't even think she's teaching here anymore probably from her really bad reviews at the end of last semester
She is a really nice lady! If you go to her office hours she is very helpful. Study powerpoints and exams are not too bad. Her accent is not difficult to understand. If you are having problems hearing, sit in the front row. I did and had no problems and came out with an A!
Prof. Aledavood knows her subject well, she is truly a very nice lady and cares a lot about her students and their success in class, her accent isn't too bad, go to class, read and study the PowerPoints, really grasp the concepts, and you should do fine, only one major assignment, quizzes usually every class, a few small assignments here and there.
She doesn't have a good teaching style and goes off topic in lecture. You will have a quiz at the start of every class, so missing is a bad idea. Her tests were not too hard but worded weird, and her lectures were 50 slides or more. Avoid this teacher if all possible
TEACHER WITH ACCENT! Usually doesn't bug me but she doesn't understand english. I asked a question once in class and she treated me like I was a moron because she couldn't understand my question.The class did (not that anyone else knew either).During evolution chapter she forces her opinion and says religion is a waste of time.No book needed though
If you can't handle a stronger louder accent you should not take this class, however, she does seem to be a very nice person. I took this class simply as a Gen ed and learned a lot. Im not one to pay too much attention in classes, i usually study more, so i just studied the powerpoints and got an easy A.
Had her for genetics when i was supposed to have her husband Noor. Great teacher! i loved her. i understood everything she was saying and she gives extra points on exams and an extra credit assignment. very easy class!
Great prof. she really knows her stuff and can teach it to her students very well. her powerpoints are very helpfull when reading the book, and if u study and understand the material you will do fine. She is willing to anwer questions all the time, and curves exams to help out her students!!
The class was boring but not extremely difficult. Her accent made it harder. She really tries, but she has a hard time with English so the way she words her test questions make her tests tricky and she has a hard time answering questions. If I could've taken it with someone else, I would've, but having her is not the end of the world.
Avisa has some sort of crazy accent, you can still understand her, but she has some funny wordings sometimes. She would always tell us something was really important and then it never really was ie) She once said you don't eat protein receptors...really come on?! I rarely went to lecture because for tests I had to study out of the textbook anyways.
Avisa was extremely helpful. She has an accent, but you get used to it after awhile. She genuinely cares about the students learning the material, and this is one of those classes where you get exactly as much as you put into it. Her exams are hard at first, but its just a different way of thinking. She focuses on conceptual material.
She made this class impossible. You can never understand what she is saying because of her accent. You can tell she loves BIO but she sucks at teaching it. She goes way too fast and doesnt give anyone anytime to take notes. Her exams are very hard
She genuinely enjoys the subject matter, this is true, however she is very unclear in getting points across. She words questions on quizzes and tests very difficultly and tries to trip you up. When questions were asked in class she was not helpful and required you to go to office hours. Not a good prof for a student with other responsibilities
She was extremely difficult. The subject matter was understandable, but she worded test questions extremely hard to try and confuse you. She did not encourage questions and was often condescending towards students that would ask questions. She made the class very difficult!!
Avisa tries to be helpful but she only leaves you more confused once you're done talking. Her exams and quiz questions are made purposely to trick you. There are 3 exams, and a final. She pulls questions directly from the quizzes so if you study them, that helps. Also, for the final she takes questions directly off the exams. Avoid her if possible
She's a nice lady and tries really hard but she's not good at explaining things. She does have an accent but you can still understand her. Her class is very boring but she does know a lot about Bio she's just not good at teaching it.
This class requires a lot of conceptual thinking. She is a great teacher if you want to learn how to apply the material! I enjoyed this class!! I didn't open my book at all, she goes through everything you need to know to do well on exams. GREAT prof!!
She is very helpful but tests are extremely difficult. I would study a lot and still not get an A. I thought the questions were tricky and worded very hard, purposely made to trick you. I would avoid if possible.
She was a great professor! It is a hard class... it's genetics you should expect it to be difficult. You need to go to class, the textbook will not get you an A in it because her questions are conceptual. She gives you a ton of sample questions and worksheets which is great. If you do the work you can easily get an A. I highly recommend her.
Advisa is extremely helpful when you don't understand the concepts, she encouraged students to go to her office hours. It was a hard class but if you put in the work and understand the concepts well, you will be just fine :)
Good prof, didn't use book. Everything you need to know are in her powerpoints, but going to class helps with understanding them! everything is conceptual for sure, but although you may understand something, questions on exams are often worded awkward with several negatives making it hard to figure out what she is asking making it more difficult.
Aledavood does everything in her power to make a hard class an easy A, while making sure her students will retain the information after they finish her course. She WILL try to trick you with phrasing on exams though. do the study guides/practice questions, and go to lecture with the powerpoint slides printed out. Also has office hrs 5 days a week:)
She offers a ton of extra reading material but leaves little time during lecture to ask any questions. She never slows down and even with all of her office hours she still has a hard time explaining things differently than she already had the first time. I would try and get another prof if possible.
Why do I have to attend lectures AND office hours? Obviously she isn't teaching it well enough. Hard to understand, blistering lecture pace, tough exams. Avoid.
She is amazing! DON'T MISS LECTURE!!! She gives you everything you need in the power points and is more than happy to help w/ q's. Did get a tutor but mostly used her to confirm what I knew. Tests are incredibly hard and worded terribly but I don't think that is her. Saw another profs exam- way worse than hers!
work hard. Dont slack off. shes great and appreciates you going in to office hours for help. I felt great about getting an A in this class.
She was a very nice teacher, yet was not clear about exams and did not give adequate examples of what was going to be on the test.
She is very helpful and invokes our interests in the subject. she makes a very hard subject much easier with her powerpoints of the material, but you have to also read the textbook
I had an extreme interest in biology and now i hate the subject. Her power points are not helpful at all and are super cluttered.
She's not too bad, just a little hard to understand because she over-explains, making things feel cluttered. She does try to break it down through her power points. She has an accent, but she is still very easy to understand. Some of her assignments are worded weirdly though. Also, because of time, she speaks quickly at the end.
Hard to understand because of accent. Doesn't explain things very well and only teaches off of PowerPoint's which are very wordy. If you can teach yourself and study 24/7 this class if for you!
Avoid if possible. Very confusing. Science center couldn't even help with the assignments.
Very hard to understand and does not clarify material. Severely lacks the ability to convey the content in a way that is easy to understand because of her language barrier. I loved biology before this class, but her class made me switch my major. Majority of your grade is based on hard weekly quizzes and MC exams that have 30 questions.
She is one of the best professors I've had a gvsu. She goes above and beyond for her students: she had voluntary review sessions before every test. I've never had a teacher go so far beyond the call of duty to help students succeed in understanding course material. She is wonderful and funny and makes the class as interesting as she can.
Hard to understand. Doesn't really explain concepts just says the original thing she said over and over. Most of you grade is determined by weekly test that are 10x more complex than anything she goes over.
She does have an accent but she isn't terribly hard to understand. She is very direct about what she expects you to know and how to study for the class. Before each test she has a voluntary review session in which she will answer questions and explain for upwards of around 3 hours. She also encourages you to visit her office hours. Very helpful.
She is willing to offer help, but you have to basically beg for it. She is very hard to understand with her accent.
Didn't understand her teaching style at all. She repeats the same thing "don't memorize the material learn it" but then contradicts herself and says memorize this stuff. Hard to understand what she's saying in lectures sometimes. She also makes the concepts hard to understand by using big words and complex ideas. Wouldn't recommend her.
This class is HARD, for people like me who aren't "conceptual learners." I would recommend not taking this professor for genetics, and also not taking Fawzi Abbas (if you're considering him). I've retaken this class and didn't do any better. Get a tutor!!! I think with any professor though, you're going to have to really work hard for this class!
Although I didn't pass this class (mainly due to illness, I'm taking it again next semester) I would say that Prof. Aledavood is a good teacher if she jives with your learning style. This class was very hard for me, for the quizzes she gives online USE THE INTERNET, I didn't know this was an option and failed miserably. READ THE BOOK!
She's pretty hard to understand. She doesn't give many assignments, just four, so your entire grade is exams and quizes. Her questions on her test are impossible to understand and are always worded in the weirdest ways. Go to her office hours, and go above and beyond if you want to do well. Read the book every night, and go back over her PPTs.
Quizzes matter more than the exams. Received 2 100% and 2 93% percents on her exams and still received a B+ overall without any quizes. Very nice lady but there is a clear language barrier between her and her students. Very tough compared to other genetics professors at gvsu. All exams are online but study anyways or you won't pass
She was a decent professor and really cared about her student. however she was extremely difficult and this class required you to work and study hard. Office hours are highly encouraged. she will help you if you frequently show up
Everything but final exam is online but the final exam is open note. I barely ever went to lecture and did okay thanks to the internet and high school bio. 4 Assignments are given, and they're confusing, as are the quizzes and exams. The wording is just strange and the questions are not what would be expected. May be because she is foreign. Nice.
She's foreign so that already makes her very hard to understand when she's trying to explain things. Her questions on quizzes throw you off because they make no sense at all! The only reason I ended with a B was because she found all of her questions for her online exams online! I would not recommend this professor to anyone!
Professor Aledavood was an amazing professor! At first, her accent worried me, but she actually speaks extremely clearly, and you get used to the language barrier. She provides EXCELLENT powerpoint presentations and supplementary materials (I only used the powerpoints, however), and she repeats key points NUMEROUS times to aid in understanding.
Hard to understand and her power points are not the best. She goes through lecture way to fast, would not recommend at all.
Loved this class, and the professor, but never read the book. Powerpoints are a bit messy, but contain everything you need. All homework and tests are open book, final is open notes. Take your own notes, and you'll be set up for the final. Final was MUCH easier than any of the tests. Very understanding if you miss an weekly quiz!
Professor Aledavood is a very nice lady but her teaching style is terrible. Her lectures drag on and on and are confusing. The book is better! Yes, the exams and quizzes are online, but that does not make them easy, I found them extremely difficult. You can tell English is her second language, which makes it hard to comprehend the material. AVOID!!
Her second language is english so she can be a little hard to understand, not bad tho. If you go to office hours she is very helpful and very nice. Weekly quizzes on line but if you miss it she will let you make it up. Online tests as well. Open note final, much easier then quizzes and tests. Minimal hw. Powerpoint's give you most of what you need.
Although Aledavood has an accent, it really isnt an issue. She is very clear and her lectures are great. The class is hard, but what do you expect with an upper level science course? Exams and quizzes are online, and open note but still tough. She does an optional review class for 4 hours before each exam, which is incredible. VERY understading:)
Bio 120 in general is a really tough class. Don't skip this class. She gives out weekly quizzes which I found to be quite difficult even though they are open note, open book. Be prepared to be challenged. Take advantage of the powerpoints. Reading the book does provide clarity because she over-complicates concepts sometimes. Go to office hours.
Would not recommend. Lectures make no sense and the class overall makes you feel stupid. Everything is online which is nice because there are quizlets with answers but the questions are ridiculously hard. If you're okay with googling every question and not learning anything, then take her. But if you have a choice, I'd just take someone else.
Switch immediately
VERY confusing and difficult. powerpoints are also terribly confusing. however, quizzes and test are online unlike most profs for this class. also go to office hours when you have assignments or are confused!!
If given the option, you want to switch. Makes concepts very confusing. I went to her office hours more then once to point out answers to questions from quizzes that didn't match notes and was told MORE THEN ONCE from her that questions should be deleted because they were wrong. The key to her class is to learn bio her way unfortunately. LONG HW.
By far the hardest class I've taken, wasn't flexible with office hours (I had classes during them and she didn't set up appointments beside those times), A LOT of work/studying if you want a good grade, even though the tests and quizzes were online you still had to study a lot
Some people may not like this prof but I enjoyed her a lot. Her office hours are amazing and everyone should go to them, she cares so much about her students! Her assignments are difficult and so are her tests and quizzes but they are all online. If you study the stuff and take time to read the book, anyone can do it. Study powerpoints !
Before I took her class, I looked at her ratings on here and figured she wasn't as bad as what everyone says. However, she is pretty difficult. I recommend not skipping the class because her powerpoints are confusing until she explains them. You have online quizzes every week that can be hard; and you have four assignments that are extremely hard.
She is foreign so shes difficult to understand at first and sometimes things aren't worded correctly. Online quizzes every week and assignments due with every exam (exceptionally hard) but this is the only opportunity for extra credit. All exams are online at weird times & the final you get a handwritten notebook. You MUST attend class 2 understand
If you are taking biology and will never need to understand the concepts agin then take her class. All of her quizzes and exams are online, find someone extremely smart and take the exam with them. I would recommend getting a tutor for the homework assignments as well. If you don't you will spend 3 hours on 6 problems. overall a mediocre professor
I went to every lecture until the first exam and got a 68%. I stopped going to lectures and just taught myself the information and aced every exam after that. All quizzes and exams are online and extreme hard, homework being the hardest. You can tell she has a lot of passion for the subject, and will try to explain it better to you if you ask.
I have gone to every lecture and did poorly on the exams. The quizzes and exams are all online, except for the final. Quizzes are bearable and assignments are pretty tough, but the exams sometimes do not seem to have enough time. She is a tough professor and definitely makes you work for your grade.
Dr. A. is very passionate about biology and also wants her students to succeed. That being said, her quizzes, tests and homework are very difficult and sometimes confusing due to incorrect wordage. Her accent is no problem and her lectures are pretty entertaining. You need to understand the content, won't be enough to memorize. Can be confusing.
One of my favorite professors! This class was very straight forward and is an easy A if you go over the power points (which she puts online). Offers a TON of extra credit and the exams are online. TAKE HER!!!!
Dr. Aledavood is amazing, one of the best professors I have ever had. Genetics is already an awesome subject and she is so knowledgeable. What makes her stand out is how much she cares about her students and wants them to succeed. She is willing to help with the assignments that you can get extra credit on. Take her 100%
Tests and quizzes are online, but you still need to study to do well. There are a few assignments that are challenging, but not impossible. She can be very repetitive and drag on during lectures, but she is clear about the material you need to focus on and what will be on the exams. Rescheduled a lot of due dates and exams, which was annoying.
Her lectures are average, all ppt, but go to her office hours!! She is extremely willing to help those who ask for it, even on completing assignments! Also, there are lots of opportunities to earn points, weekly quizzes, several exams, assignments with extra credit etc. Also, all tests are right from the power points and are ONLINE which was great!
Best advice, go to her office hours for help with homework and to over old answers to quizzes and tests. She is more than willing to help you. Weekly online quizzes from a question pool which are pretty tough. Though, she allows for extra credit on homework to make up for this. She posts powerpoints the morning of class.
I hate genetics. First class dropped as a second year junior. Very informative powerpoints but SO much info on slides (some is repeated, which I guess is nice). Weekly quizzes online as well as 3 exams, final is on paper. Didn't go to office hours so maybe that's why I struggled. Seemed to lead you to the correct answers via email; replied quick.
Prof Aledavood has an accent, but you can understand her in lecture. Her PP 's, tests/quizzes/assignments are all worded weird because of the language barrier. She is tough! Everything is very hard, but the PP's have all the information you need. She is a very caring and flexible prof. Don't bother buying the textbook, we only use the powerpoints
SWITCH IMMEDIATELY! She's a foreign professor and has a very strong asian accent. She can't understand the questions you ask her and over complicates the class. She is the worst professor you could possibly imagine.
Quizzes every weekend. Wording on tests and assignments sometimes don't make sense. Only grades are based on quizzes and tests and maybe two assignments in total. Very tough grader.
I love Professor A. Amazing teacher, she definitely makes you work your butt of but once you will feel pretty accomplished with the good grade. Exams and quizes are online, doesn't mean they're easier but she's always open to help. Truly cares about her students. After one visit to her office hour she learned my name even though there 80 otherstude
One of my favorite professors! This class was very straight forward and is an easy A if you go over the power points (which she puts online). Offers a TON of extra credit and the exams are online. TAKE HER!!!!
I have attended every lecture, I have a BIO tutor I see weekly, and I am in the honors college. However I am struggling to just pass this class. BIO 120 is a difficult class in the first place but do not take it with her.
Get out. This was the hardest class I've taken at Grand Valley the prof doesn't speak the best English and your grade is only determine from quizzes and tests that are all online. Yes, you can use notes but they are unbelievably difficult and only available from weird times. Each exam opened friday at 5pm and closed saturday at 5pm.
All test and quizzes are online except final exam. Take notes, you get to use them on the second half of your final exam. Terrible English. Contradicts herself all the time. Has no idea how to answer a students question. Book was not used. Quizzes every weekend. l barely got a B-. DO NOT TAKE HER!
If you have this prof for any class, SWITCH. She is so difficult and does not explain things well at all. The exams, quizzes, and assignments are all online, but I have never worked harder for an average grade in my life. Genetics is already difficult as it is, but this professor makes it harder than it needs to be.
Really good power points that you can read outside of class if you miss.
The good thing about taking her is that you don't have to buy the book and you will be fine because of her detailed powerpoints. All exams and quizzes are online but the final is in class but it is a lot easier. The online exams and quizzes are very hard though, studying A LOT will be necessary for a good grade.
This class honestly made me so miserable. She was very hard to understand and so were her tests and quizzes. Quizzes every weekend, only 6 question, but hard. All the quizzes and exams were online but using the notes from the powerpoints didn't help at all. I put so much time and effort into this class and still did poorly.
This professor has a very specific way of teaching and if you are not familiar with her style or the class material you will have a very hard time. There is not much for homework, just a few assignments but there are quizzes every week and exams. All but the last is online though so google is your best friend (although good luck finding an answer).
I can not learn from her at all. Her power points are very confusing and the only way to have a chance of passing her class if you go in being ready to spend hours studying. I had to get a tutor mid-semester because she was so difficult.
She has a very specific style of teaching. Everything you need to know is on the power points, but it only covers so much. The rest is conceptual. She has decent english skills, but her tests wording can be confusing. She is passionate about genetics, but does make it a very difficult class. She is accessible outside of class.
I was worried to take this class after reading all the reviews. The material is tough, but she is very passionate about genetics and she genuinely wants her students to succeed. All exams are online and curved, and all assignments have extra credit opportunities. If you go to her office hours she will help you with assignments. She is great.
She is hard to understand and her powerpoints are HARD to follow and it is all so repetitive. She says all you need for her tests and quizzes are her powerpoints but that is NOT correct. She is passionate about it but her assignments, quizzes, and tests were near to impossible to take. If possible, take another professor!
Such a sweet lady but seriously this class was literally impossible. She flies through material and her tests and assignments are also impossible. Her accent was also hard for me to get past because it made learning distracting. Go to her office hours because she will help.
Avisa was a great professor, contrary to other reviews. She offers a lot of extra credit, goes in depth on the things she is teaching and is passionate. There is a quiz each weekend (a little inconvenient). All exams were online except for the final. She was great and let you use a notebook for the final exam. I would definitely take her again!
Avisa is amazing! I had no problem understanding her accent. Her power points are very detailed, easy to follow, and have everything you need. Exams are not difficult as long as you pay attention in class and give some effort (open note & online). Go to her office hours for assignments! She'll happily help you with all the questions!
Avisa is an amazing prof. I was personally a bit intimidated by her 12 page syllabus that looks like a rainbow threw up on it because of all of the highlighting and underlining, but that's just how she teaches. This material is very detail oriented and she does her best of breaking down each step for students. Put in effort+office hours A+
