I had her for the BIOL 1408 lab and I loved her. She does have a little accent and sometimes uses different terminology, but she is really adorable. Very helpful - she really wants you to understand the material and does whatever she can to help. Grades were very generous for what she had control over. RECOMMENDED!
She is AWESOME! Absolutely one of the best teachers. Biology can be boring but she makes it as fun and easy as possible. She cares about her students understanding the material. She has a great personality and will make you laugh. It was very enjoyable to attend her class. I highly reccomend her.
She's a very good teacher and gives lots of extra credit. If you attend every day and ask questions and work on all your assignments you will do great!
I love her class. It is interesting and she is straight to the point. Her tests are easy, just go through the review sheets she gives. Also do the assignments, they are easy to score.
LOVE HER!!! For me biology is hard and I passed her class. She gives you 3 take home test, quizzes are with your group and final is with 3 people. If you fail it's cause you didn't show up, cause biology is not for me. She makes sure to help you if you don't understand. I was always playing on my iPad and I passed with a 78 best professor.
This Teacher has to be the sweetest bio. teacher on Earth. Her class is interesting, and you get a lot of opportunity for extra credit. You are allowed to take exams in groups and if you study they are not too hard. I took her class in the summer and passed with an A. Best choice for biology.
I took her summer I class for non-science majors. Wish she was teaching summer II, I would take that class for sure. In the summer there's no textbook, chances for extra credit, and in class review for test. Its not difficult work just a lot of it but she understands and will help you if you show interest. I pass with an A+
Very patient Professor and kind. She has extra credit but you will need to study. Power points are available and very helpful. Attendance is important.
If you can understand an indian accent she is the teacher for you. If you have a hard time understanding a accent do not take her. She is very very moody teacher and does not know how to control the class.
Does not at all to take control of the class, or handle any situations. Feels like she is a highschool teacher not a college one.
Professor is very knowledgeable. Power points are helpful. You will need to study and attend lecture sessions. You should do well in course if you apply yourself.
She is the sweetest professor I have ever met! I love her so much! She helped me so much. She is very understanding and is interesting. I would take her class again! You guys need to take her she is seriously the best.
Dr. Pereira is the best! Very easy to understand and everything is clear. She gives you a lot of extra points. I will definitely take 1409 with her.
She is definitely one of the best science teacher! She is very easy going and gives a lot of extra credit. There should be no reason why you don't pass this class. Go to Class, take notes and do the extra credit and you should be able to pass with class with an easy A. She let's you work in groups on lecture exams.
She is a very nice professor, knows what she is teaching, provides many extra credit opportunities throughout the course. Overall i would take her again.
Pereira is AWESOME! She's so sweet and her accent is so cute. It is a hard course, but she gives you SO much extra credit and she will help you out any time! Make a study group (THIS WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE), DO the extra credit, it's easy to get an A in this class if you study. If you don't you'll fail. She gave us candy when studying glucose :P
I love Ms. P! She is funny, kind, and I enjoyed her class so much! Highly highly recommend for Biology!!!!
Dr Pereira is the best teacher. She makes class fun, she is very energetic and knows what she's teaching. She explains so well and make sure that everyone in the class understands the material. She is always willing to help. Clear grading criteria. She gives lots of extra credit. I am taking biology 1409 with her. I highly recommend this teacher.
LOVE LOVE LOVED THIS TEACHER EASY A
SO cool she literally will help you one on one!
Best professor I've had hands down. The only thing she expects is that you show up for class, and if you do so consistently you will be rewarded at the end of the semester. She doles out extra credit like Oprah Winfrey (running joke amongst our class) and she will do whatever she can to help you pass. I very highly recommend.
She's the best biology teacher ever! There's really no way you can fail if you go to class. By the second half of the semester, everyone was kinda lost in the lectures but even then we all managed to pass our test with flying colors. She gives out extra credit for the little-lest of things. Lab's pretty hard but even then she won't let you fail.
Really great professor with such a positive attitude! Her lectures are full of useful information and examples besides the ones mentioned in the book. She is always friendly and cooperative with students.
The best biology professor at Northlake. Make sure you show up to class and you will pass with an easy A!
Shes the best professor I have taken by far! Knows how to explain the subject well and will answer any questions you need. She gives a lot of extra credit so make sure to take advantage of it and participate in class. I never opened the book and managed to pass the class with an A.
SHE IS AWESOME! You will really enjoy her class.
BEST BIOLOGY TEACHER HANDS DOWN!!! She's the best, there's no other bio teacher like her. HIGH RECOMMEND. She lets use takes tests AND quizzes with groups, gives out extra credit, lectures are easy, and keeps the class entertained and outgoing! You don't need the textbook just the lab manual for labs. DEFINITELY SHOULD TAKE HER YOU WONT REGRET IT.
She's very easy and gives chances to remediate if you show her you're trying. Seriously if science classes are hard to you she is definitely the professor to take.
she is inspirational and amaizing. she never hesitate to give you extra credit if you are attentive in class and do your work in time. her lectures are great and you get to learn many new things. I am taking her class again for 1409. take her class and you will love it really.
All the reviews here say she is amazing and it is 100% true! She cares in what you are learning and is always so positive and outgoing. Gives a WHOLE lot of extra credit for tests. She makes sure you pass if she sees you are putting in the effort to. You won't regret taking her!!
Professor Pereira is super AWESOME!!! You will not regret taking her. Took both the Biology 1408 in class and 1409 online. There is a lot of work to do online, but its super easy you can use online resources and even the textbook. The only way you won't pass is if your lazy/procrastinate or expect your grade to fall right out of the blue.
The best biology teacher on campus! She's so sweet and caring. Took 1408 and 1409 with her and she makes it so easy for you to pass her class.
I enjoyed taking Professor Pereira class. The class is pretty straightforward. The book was free online but you don't use the book, you have all the information you need through the access code. **Rule of thumb work ahead and do the extra credit you will pass.*** This was an easy A
An easy A to both Bio 1408 and 1409, I took both classes with her online, If you dont want to waste your time like going 3 hours of class , take it online and its very easy. She gives multiple attempts for every test and quiz, there is no chances of getting fail her in class. Even if i would say there no chances of getting B in this class.
Outstanding professor! Pereira has an amazing character, and makes lectures easy to understand! Textbook is given by her, so you don't need to buy it. She's a very caring person, and her assignments are easy to finish.
agree 110%+ with all the posts! she's real, very nice, sweet and helpful. she want's you to suceed and to know and understand the material too. quizzes are online, you get 3 attempts. gives lots of extra credit too, taking her for 1409. she's my homegirl, :)
She is the best professor till far in my life.. her classes are never boring. She give you extra credit. She make sure all student understand and get a good grade.
Good Professor ever I have. I would recommend this professor if you want to learn better and make an A.
She is great a professor I ever had. Easy A a
Omg I am so glad I took professor Pereira. She is the best biology 1406 teacher. I highly recommend her if you want an A in her class. She cares for your grades and gives extra credit and also drops the lowest exam out of 6 exams.
Dr. Pereira is one of the best professors at North Lake. I took her for BIOL1408 and she is one of those professors who really does care about your grade. She gives TONS of extra credit, even for answering a question right in class. She will do whatever it takes to make you get an A in her class and I would recommend her to anyone!
Professor is so awesome. She really cares and responds to emails rather quickly. Gives extra credit, what she goes over in class pay attention, because it will be on her exams.
Best Biology Professor thus far. I took her 8 week course, and passed with a 90% taking her again for my next Biology class. Highly recommend her, she's quick with responding back to emails, gives tons of extra credit, and drops your lowest test grade, and uses your higher test grade towards the final.
So much extra credit is offered that it's almost impossible to fail the class and quite easy to make an A. She very much wants students to engage and is constantly excited to be in class and teaching. Probably the best attitude of any professor I have ever had.
Great class! Comes into every lecture with a positive attitude and ready to teach. Very helpful and ready to answer any questions. Lots of extra credit, assignments are clear and easy. Take her class!
Such a great a teacher and very informative.. She is very helpful and cares about her students. I love all of her lectures, and the class was able to do a fun Cellular Respiration & Photosynthesis Group Project. Extra credit available later on in the class. A free online copy of the textbook provided on ecampus for the class. Would recommend!!
She's real and legit, very nice, caring, kind and attentive!! took her for 1408 and was very impressed by her dedication, ethics and hard work. tests are online and she gives extra credit. would take her courses again, :)
A very nice and understanding professor, the class is an easy A!
Good professor easy
I took the online 8 week course. I loved the online lab. Professor P. grades everything quickly once it is submitted. Stay on top of deadlines; it will be worth it when it comes to the final. Class was at a faster pace. I would take it again. Gives extra credit.
Great teacher and funny personality. Pereira laughs at a lot of things which makes the class fun. She also is a naturally energetic teacher which is great for a morning class to wake you up. She is a fair grader, and gives lots of extra credit for knowing the answers to questions in class. Definitely a must-take for lecture.
She is a sweet professor, the issue that I have is that she's not very clear on assignments and lectures. Her quizzes are all online but a lot of the information either isn't covered in class or isn't covered well. Her due dates constantly change. Participation in class awards extra credit If we had perfect attendance we didn't take the final.
Pro Pereira is truly great!! I took this class online and as long as you stay ahead with the labs and quizzes, the labs and quizzes are very easy! textbook is required, definitely wish more teachers where like her. She is truly a gem
more extra credits than you may need. Got 103% out of 100% coz of it and don't miss the class, you don't have to worry about finals.
I enjoyed the 8 weeks online class. I took 2 biology class with her and I skip the last text for just sending the homeworks on time. I got a B first class and and A the second class. I really recomend you to take classes with her. A lot of easy homework. It looks scary at the beggining but is an esa and interesting class.
Took flex term(8 week) course: 15 labs, 15 lab quizzes, 15 lecture quizzes, writing assignment, 4 discussion boards, & 2 lab practicals. All quizzes and practicals are timed, gives extra credit, and quick/easy grader. LOTS of reading, but worth it at the end.
As a person who is not well in science, this class was one of the more easier classes that I have taken. The thing you have to purchase for this course is the access code where you have your lessons and assignments. Assignments are fill in the blank, answers can be found online as well as for most. Offers a lot of extra credit as well. I enjoyed it
Her lectures are confusing, but she's a sweetheart and very good at explaining one on one. Go to her office hours. She gives SO much extra credit, it's impossible not to earn an A. Tests are in groups of 2-3 and she lets you use notes. She makes you so comfortable, great if you're anxious or shy. If you miss more than 2 classes you take the final.
Professor Pereira is AWESOME! I took it online and the course was pretty clear. Just do the work on time and you should get an A! She also has extra credit which is great. If I could take her for all my classes I would!
I took this class on Summer 1, it was hard not going to lie but doable. If you put in the work you will be fine and it will be a breeze. But if you procrastinate then the labs plus the lecture will get to you because sometimes you have multiple up to 3 to complete by a certain deadline.
Dr. Pereira was awesome! She is so caring and her lectures are very interactive. Lots of online quizzes and exams, but lots of extra credit opportunities as well.
BIOL-1408-77430 - Took it completely online. Do not take this class w/ this teacher. The lengthy, TERRIBLE Lab Reports do not even count as a grade - But it's mandatory to do them (and get a 100%) to even get the password to take the quizzes which you are graded on. You have to wait 24 hours (more like 72 hrs) to even get the quiz passwords. Bad.
Class was intensive and alot of work, but very clear as to the requirements and due dates.
very good Easy A
Dr. Pereiras class was very clear and upfront. Just submit your work on time and study for the exams and easy A. Plus, you get to skip the final if you do all the assignments in a timely manner.
Prof. Pereira was great. I took her Spring 2020 first 8 weeks and although it was a fast paced class, it was pretty easy to pass. Lots of opportunity for extra credit. She really cares about your grades so I recommend taking her for biology!
Took as an 8 week course. Lots of work, and attendance to both lecture and lab is mandatory. Do your work on time, and study for exams by reviewing your labs. She made Biology fun, she's hilarious and very caring.
I found professor Pereira very helpful and supportive in my spring semester. Also, she makes the lecture more fun. I learned quite a lot from her and strongly recommend her to my friends and classmates.
She is a very caring woman who takes her time with the material and offers a lot of extra credit throughout the course. She has a very thick accent that is sometimes hard to understand so I would recommend always asking questions! This is an Easy A if you just do what she asks, the labs are very easy along with the quizzes!
Great online 1408 and 1409 biology classes. Easy A + in both classes. Professor Pereira is amazing, easy and gives good feedback. The course is easy. I highly recommend Professor Pereira and her biology 1408 & 1409.
The best Professor. A + grade. I took the online class 1409 and enjoyed the class. Anybody can make an A+ in this class. The online class is so easy that you can complete it early and lots of extra credit. Easy pace. The professor is caring , and wants you to succeed.
What a mess. Biology is not my major but I dont get B's in my major so this was a bummer. Does not respond to emails which sucks because I had to take this online because of COVID. Not sure if she would be any better in person. This class was disorganized and so borring.
Teaches like biology is the only subject you are taking and it isnt even my major. Does not like when you ask questions on email. I do not even think she likes her job. Get out of here. At least I passed but I dont know how.
Great class. Do the work and clear A+. Lots of extra credit.
Awesome teacher, A+ grade in summer bio1408. Taking second bio 1409 with Professor Pereira this fall semester. Teacher is caring, always emailing and communicating so much so that our mailboxes are full. Class is straightforward, clear grading scale, do the work, get the A+ grade and tremendous extra credit if you want that grade.
Great class first 8 weeks 1408 and taking second Biology 1409 in second 8 wk. The class is clear and well organized. Just keep doing every week and clear A + grade. Professor Pereira is good teacher and replies to emails immediately. She is very flexible and extends due dates and lots of extra credit.
Great professor, science is not my best subject, but as long as you do your assignments on time and take notes and write down due dates you will do great.
I took her online BIOL 1408 class and I loved it! It wasn't part of my major but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. She was very lenient, understanding, and gave extra credit options. She also replied to emails within 24 hours. Would definitely recommend and take her again!
Dr Pereira is probably the best professor I've had. You have something to do each week, but it easy work. She is very flexible! Take her!! Trust me, COVID-19 showed how professors really are, she is very understanding.
Professor Pereira is one of the best professors I have had in my educational journey. She is accessible and very-responsive. She really cares about her students and their success in the class. Her syllabus is very detailed and organized. If I had to take another science course, I would definitely take her again in a heartbeat.
Great professor! She gives alot of extra credit, nobody should be able to fail. One of my easiest classes (science isn't my best subject), there's not too much work. Labs are online as well.
Professor Pereira was amazing. Science is a subject I have anxiety about but I quickly realized I selected the perfect instructor a few weeks into the course. You will have plenty of opportunities for extra credit, just don't procrastinate in this class and knock out your assignments :) I'm also taking 1409 w/ Prof Pereira in the spring.
The best professor ever for Biology 1408 and 1409. Took both online classes and they were very easy. Got an A+ grade. Clear grading and very helpful.
Very good Online Bio 1408 and 1409. Prof. Pereira is the best, caring and gives great feedback. A+ class and extra credit helps. The course is really easy and very organized and completes quickly for the flex fast track.
If you need another science credit for a non-science major, take her class! It is super easy, everything is through BIO lab, which is free if you payed for your class. You have to do online lab reports in order to get a password for the lab quiz. She gives out a lot of extra credit. Overall, she gives out a lot of work but it is easy and doable.
take her!! I took her 8 week course I thought it was going to be hard but just do the work! she is helpful and gives out ALOT of extra credit
100% recommended! Wonderful and caring professor. Very easy class if you put in the time and effort.
There is a lot to read in this class but overall, a wonderful professor and great class. Professor is very kind and easy to reach. I would take her class again!
I took an 8-week class and unless you are a full-time student, without any other life or extracurricular activities. You are most likely going to barley pass this class. Late work is accepted but you may need an excuse. I don't think I would take this class again, find a more lenient professor.
Professor is very helpful. Made an A+. It was a great easy online class and 8 weeks . Biology is not my subject yet the class was easy and I learned Biology and liked it. Need a science, best class to take.
Do the work and you will pass! A lot of extra credit is provided, and both professor are very understanding when it come to late work. Best advice take this class! (biol-1409 non-science majors)
The labs and chapters were easy. Just do them on time because you need a password to continue to the next assignment or else you will fall behind. She did provide a lot of extra credit assignments, which helps. do the work on time and you should be fine.
A very easy class, the professor even says so. Grades very fast and leaves nice feedback on most assignments. Lots of tests, but most are easy if you do the required lab reports and reading. Many extra credit opportunities. Ended the class with an A+ and I don't even like Biology! Definitely recommend.
Take her as your professor! the textbook is included in class and labs are group work. I took the 8-week course and easier than I thought to pay attention in class and will be easy. homework is just quizzed right after class. Kahoot is played for some quizzes.
Very easy and quick class. I took this class during the summer session and it was not difficult. Do the work on time and you will do well. It is easy to get ahead despite there being a lot of work at first glance.
There's quite a bit of homework, yet it's mostly computer based and graded. The labs are a bit time consuming as you have to draw and color. I was anxious about this class and she also seemed strict at first. Once I got to know her she was really nice and gives a lot of extra credit. Do your work and you will pass this course. I recommend her!!!
Dr. Pereira is a good proff. She is very leniant. I took an 8 week course with her and I really enjoy the class. She tries to make small jokes and keep the mood a cheerful mood. Shes not too strict but she will ask for you to participate. She loves giving out extra credit and will do the most to get you to an A or A+.
Clear expectations! I would take her again!
Professor Pereira is amazing at what she does. She loves giving extra credit and strives to make sure her students pass the class. The lectures are fun and involving of everyone. She takes her time to make sure students understand the topic. Easy class!
Chill class and it wasn't hard. I think everything was easy to find and the assignments were not bad. I think almost everything was easy to look up to find the answers and quizlet was a big help.
Professor Pereira was great! She was always very responsive to emails and was willing to work through any questions I had. The class was straightforward with online lab simulations with lectures, and then quizzes over said assignments, but they were all easy. She primarily only accepts MS Word documents so beware. Other than that, solid class.
Dr. Pereira was such an amazing professor, she always answered my questions and was very helpful. I recommend her to any one who is not great at Biology like I am.
Ms. Pereira is the best biology professor. She is nice and caring. If there are moments when you don't understand an assignment and need help, Ms. Pereira is also the best tutor and I recommend the tutoring sessions with her. 1000 % I recommend you to take this professor and you will pass.
She was really understanding and caring. Her class was really easy to pass and really cared for her students.
Professor Pereira's course was straightforward and manageable. It included labs, six essays, and four discussion boards, all of which were relatively simple. She grades fairly, fast and provides great feedback. Take this course if you can manage your time! Would take Professor Pereira again!
Took Professor Pereira 8 week flex class! Assignments and labs are easy if you read the online textbook. You have to do the lab and have it graded by her before she gives you the code to take the lab quiz. 2 comprehensive tests are easy to ace if you read and do well on the lab quizzes. She is very helpful and responds to emails quickly! Take her!
I love the way she grades, it's mainly the activities that you can't get less than a 10 (unless you don't do them), and only a few tests. It's very easy to get an A and she really cares about the subject. I am taking her again because she makes it easy to learn!
One of the best professors I've ever had! I was never into biology before, but she made the class fun, clear, and easy to follow. She explains concepts really well, cares about her students, and makes you actually enjoy the subject. Definitely recommend her classes!
All ima say is that she's an AMAZING teacher. In another life i would retake her. She gives bunch of extra credit. ALOT. Please take, theres only 1 test and its a lab exam. Easy A. God bless her🙏🏻
