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!

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.

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.

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.

Wouldn't take again

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
