This was my first online course. I have to say the tests were difficult for an online class. But Dr. Perry was great. She is willing to work with you if you put the effort into her class. Overall good professor.
no communication what so ever. never responded to emails until weeks later. test were extremely difficuly and expected way to much work for this course.
I first met this professor in the Fall of 1995.This is one of the greatest professors I ever took!! She makes a hard course like Anatomy and Phisiology really fun. I will never forget her!!
When taking online course be advised "Test on Chapters 12,13,14" really means test on ALL chapters.
She charged me $15.00 for a rinky dink study guide that said the same thing on everypage. I am very disappointed in her explanations. This is an online class so she deserves a little slack.
I took this class as a requirement for the core. From the beginning her class was very disorganized and when you questioned her about it --she got offended. Her tests were hard & she didn't follow the chapters correctly and her study guide (NOT) everything there was wrong!!you really have to work to get an A.
I agree with the other students. I took this class over the summer. This professor made no effort to have discussions, notes or anything. Yes, I paid $15 for something we can not sell back, nor use again. I asked one questions, yes she answered, but it was about a week or so later and her answer could be understood as crude. AVOID!!! AVOID!!!
I AGREE with what's been posted on here. I took this course online and this professor was VERY DISORGANIZED(un-updated syllabus, tested on the wrong chapters, extra credit not availbable at the university copy center, etc.). She's also VERY HARD TO GET A HOLD OF (usually takes at least a week to respond to emails). Blames errors on WebCT...
It's too bad I just found out about this website now!! I'm in her online class right now. VERY VERY unorganized. Assignments are kind of strange. Ooutline of the chapters? She has stuff from different semesters mixed in together in WebCT.
UNORGANIZED!Do not take this class. Her outlines are not updated. She responds late to every email. Her test are not easy to understand. She is really on left field!(Alone)Online students are on their own to figure out what is correct on her syllabus. I regret ever taking this class.
I took her 1309 online class this semester and this professor is terrible, takes forever to answer your emails, and includes questions in tests that were not covered. You do not know your grade so far because she simply does not grade the assignments. She does not do anything at all!! Do not take her if you have other options.
she did not answer emails in a timely matter and her tests are very very hard. just do the extra credit and homework, it will pay off.
I had her for an online class. This class was extremely stressful because she would hardly communicate or respond to emails. She really did not seem to care she was teaching an online class.Tests were all online. don't recommend

This class is the worst class I have ever taken. I agree with everyone else. I do not recommend this class to anyone. Run to the next Bio class and do not look back. To bad I just found out about this website.
Dr.Perry was very helpful and communication was great.
Dr. Perry wants her students to pass. She offered our class (summer II) an opportunity to do extra credit, which I thought was great! Take her...I had a great experience. Remember that your experience can be totally different than the others who rated her negatively --- they probably didnt apply themselves!
TEST WERE EXTREMELY HARD.THANK GOD FOR EXTRA CREDIT.
very lively, interesting, and enthusiastic instructor. i looked forward to attending every class.
very interesting and exciting, not at all as the other students make her out to be. Dr. Perry devotes all her time and attention to the students,is extemely helpful, and very considerate towards her students.you will pass if you apply yourself. Mrs. McFarland.
I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Perry-most helpfull Professor I have had in a while. I would recommend her to all students taking any biology class-seriously!
Dr. Perry was wonderful. She was very helpful, both inside and outside of class. She is very responsive to emails. The labs were straight to the point. She took a course that everyone seemed to dread taking and turned it into a wonderful experience.
Good teacher. She was really helpful when I had problems and responged to emails the same day. She was also very supportive when I was having trouble in the class.
Knows what she is talking about.
I took Dr. Perry for the 8 wk session in spring 2009. If you are someone that is organized, then I would not take her, she is very unorganized. This class is definitely doable, but I think that the test have some questionable answers. She gives you the option to do everything online and for that she rocks!
Took class online and was such a struggle. The syllabus, tests, and emails were not clear. She did work with us at the end. Happy with my grade but communication was a struggle. Also make sure you view pages 2, 3, 4 of her ratings.
I just got my second science core requirement so I am a happy customer. However I KNOW SHE IS DESPERATE NEED OF A TA OR SI LEADER because she is the type of professor that is more old school. She was STRESSED OUT DURING THE SUMMER BECAUSE OF TECH PROBLEMS OUT HER CONTROL. I MADE An "B" in her class If you take for DE i suggest you ask her to get TA
This is by far the worst professor I ever had in my life. She has no idea what her own tests are covering. She does NOT care, this is by far her biggest weakness as an instructor.
Pros: Offers extra credit, extremely funny, grades on a curve, 8 week class, responds quickly to most (notice I say most) emails. Cons: Uses an outdated syllabus that she does not follow, grading is not set in stone, lots of reading, tests are extremely hard.
I enjoyed Dr Perry, she was funny, highly educated in her craft..She is well connected, and you must remember that it not always what you know BUT WHO YOU KNOW. Trust me you should wanna know this lady..Just so you know..
She had no idea what was going on. Her syllabus was unclear, the due dates were incorrect. When you e-mailed her for clarification she would take forever to respond and then act like the reason you didn't understand something was because of you and not because of her disorganized teaching style and lack of clear instructions. Horrible teacher.
She encourage students to read, if you study the textbook and lecture notes very well,you will make a good grade. She try to help when u don't understand.
She is a professor indeed. She knows her stuff to the tip of her finger. She is very calculative, easy to understand with lots of fun in the class. Although the subject is not easy but she try all she can to make us understand it. She encourages us and brings our spirit up.She uses many resources like textbooks, lecture notes, self study test ,a
Dr.Perry has been more than the ideal professor. She has always demonstrated her outstanding knowlegde of sciences to her students with her charming attitude by making biology more simplified. I sincerely recommend Dr. Perry to any student who wants to gain superior knowledge of biology.
this is my first online class and having her as an instructor made things easier to comprehend. she is willing to help in any way possible. funny at times, but very direct and to the point. no time for goofing. demand complete attention for her class. expected everyone student to be successful. joy to be in her class
Please stay away from this proffessor!! DO NOT TAKE HER ONLINE CLASS SHE WILL FAIL YOU. ALSO TAKES FOREVER TO RESPOND!
Dr. Perry is one of the best instructors I have ever had. She truly cares about her students and wants them to succeed. Most of her classes are online, so organization is YOUR responsibility.She gives you the tools-its your job to use them. If it was simple it wouldn't be called science. I give her FIVE stars and I will take every class she offers.
THE BEST!!! All the way around. You will get what you give in this class. She wants you to be successful, all you have to do is show her you want the same thing. TAKE HER.
Dr. Perry is the best. She knows her business, and if follow the instruction, you will too when you are finished. She cares about her students, all of them, and wants them to succeed. If you want formal "instruction" an online class isn't for you. If you want to learn, Dr. Perry IS for you.
Dr. Perry is one of a kind. Give her a chance. You won't be sorry. She keeps you entertained and knows her stuff. A++
Microbiology is not supposed to be easy but Dr. Perry keeps it real. She doesn't have ridiculous expectations. She makes you want to learn. I will take her for all of her BIOL classes for sure.
She's very funny and knowledgeable. You will learn a lot and her stories are enjoyable. I look forward to lab because or her. Take her class.
They should make 1000 just like her. She is the best! Take her class.
If you are looking for an easy class then microbiology probably isn't a class you should be taking. If you want to learn and you want the chance to get an A, take Dr. Perry. She will help you get an A and teach you what you need to know.
If you want a low stress micro class, take Dr. Perry. She makes a very difficult class very doable. She is the best!!! Just show up, follow instructions and do your best. She's great!
Dr. Perry respects her students and wants them to be successful. I took the 8 wk course and it was very rushed but she helps you completely. If something isn't clear you just have to ask. I will take her classes again.
I wish all of my instructors cared like Dr. Perry. She doesn't mess around. She's good at her job. All you have to do is try. She makes it easy. Take her classes. You won't be sorry.
Dr. Perry is a great professor. She goes out of her way to help you in any way she can. If you show her respect you will get the same. Study what she gives you and the class is easy.
I liked Dr. Perry a lot until she tried to fail me for attendance. She changed the class schedule via an email from an account she told us not to check or email her at so I did not receive it and now I am having to appeal to the Dean. Long story short, she kind of rules as a person but the reviewers claiming she is disorganized are correct. C-
Great professor! She tells you everything you need if you just listen.
I loved Dr. Perry's class. Her labs are fun. If you study your quizzes and other online info, you will do great in the class. She is funny and knows her stuff very well. I would encourage anyone to take her class.
Dr.Perry is a professor with a great personality which makes it easy to talk to her. She is very understanding,and as a serious biotech student I will make sure I take more of her classes.
Dr. Perry is AWESOME! I took her for A&P 1 which was a hybrid course. You have to be able to take the initiative and kinda figure out what is going on on your own but she is really cool. She will help you out any way she can. I'm taking her for A&P 2 and I will let you know how it went. In my opinion, TAKE HER!
Dr. Perry is awesome. If you try, you will do well. Her labs are really fun, and she makes you look forward to her class. Take her!!!
currently enrolled in Summer online course '12. tests are online. very easy course, however, I have never had a profesor who has been so disrespectful. Her online materials are confusing bc it is outdated. I have emailed her several times. All i receive is no help coated with an attitude..I disagree with the previous comments about her nice persona
DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS!! This was the worst class I have taken in my entire educational pursuit.(Online summer 2)From the beginning of the course I was confused with the syllabus and requirements. I reached out via email several times in hopes of getting a better understanding. Apparently I am not the only one w/ an issue with her teaching style.
Dr. Perry is the best! I got an A in her class. She is extremely helpful. As long as you complete these pre test quizzes she will drop your lowest grade and give you a 90. Take her class you wont regret!
Dr. Perry is AMAZING. Her A&P class is hard but she is teaching people that want to be med professionals and TREATS YOU LIKE ONE. She will help you, but you have to put the effort in too.
She maybe disorganized as some previous posters have mentioned but she is inteligent and understands your pupose for taking the class. You have to show interest in the class, and be sincere in your actions and manners. Trust her!. She told us at the begining of the semester that if you work "I promise you will get an A" and I did. Put in work!
this is is the best instructor in the whole wide world. she is very understanding and knows ur purpose for being in that class....
HORRIBLE PROFESSOR. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS ONLINE. Syllabus and instructions are very unclear. Professor is extremely rude via email.
Beverly Perry is so rock and roll! She sent the class the syllabus 5 days prior to the class and she stuck to it! The HCC Site wasn't working (Duh its HCC), but she reached out to all the students. She responded to all my emails quickly. I have serious issues with authority but i totally liked her style. She was super nice.
dr perry is the best, juts finished microbiology 2420 with her for fall. I made an A she is the beate
She is very fair in her grading and gives extra credit. She knows that A&P II is a tough subject. 4 exams (100q's) lab exam(35 q's), She will replace your lowest grade with a 90 (only for the exams) but you have to do every assessment for each chapter and the lab manual is worth 5 points. She's here to help you, but you have to do part. Made a B
Pretty much a good professor, overall, if you do your work, you'll be fine
best A&P instructor ever!!!! she is very nice, hilarious and her class is so much fun. she makes A&P so easy. I took her 8 weeks hybrid class and I fell like wow. this is my 2nd time taking A&P 1 but I tell you the truth, it was the best 8 weeks class ever. please, please, take her and you won't regret it. EASY A EVER.
Took Dr. Perry over the summer go to class on time and do your labs and what ever extra credit you will pass easy teacher she's honestly the best teacher I ever had!!!
Horrible at getting back to you about emails and the curriculum has the wrong dates which is confusing because you won't know when anything is due. She gives you the opportunity to do extra credit work but she won't apply it to your lowest grade like she claims (I failed because she "forgot" to apply my extra credit work to my lowest grade.)
Do not take this professor. I passed the class with an A, but not without confusion the WHOLE time. She changes due dates and only tells certain students. When you approach her about it, she gets so defensive. When she was asked a question, she told us to google it. If you want to be confused and disrespected, this is the professor for you.
This professor is awful. After getting yelled at and belittled the third day of class, everyone was afraid to ask her questions because of how fast she would snap. She was in a bad mood whenever class met. If she's undergoing medical treatment then I truly am sorry, but there is no reason for her to take it out on her students. Don't take her.
I agree she is rude sometimes and doesn't answers questions precisely, but I also think she is a sweet women who cares about you passing. People complain about her teaching style and not learning much, but to me people should have been appreciative she made the class easy for us.
NEVER TAKE HER CLASS! SHE IS THE WORST PROFESSOR ANYONE CAN GET!!! TAKE ANOTHER CLASS INSTEAD!!
DO NOT TAKE HER!! She is rude and confusing! Would not recommend her at all! She gives extra credit but wouldn't replace it and ended up having a bad grade!
does not respond to emails unless its something she wants to say. Never responded to emails concerning system not allowing certain assignments to submit grades. quiz timing unreasonable .rude, on supportive and I would not recommend this professor to anyone.
She is cool.
She hasn't responded to anything that anyone has emailed her, and won't unless she has something to say. Some Professor's look at their employment as a career- the ability to teach the students to want to learn.... Well Professor Perry looks at her employment as a job. She has no concern for anyone else and a failing grade is not her problem.
The absolute worst professor I've ever encountered, completely unorganized, rude and never replies to students inquiries regarding questions or concerns. Nothing was posted on time and everyone in class was confused. It sucks because she's the only professor that teaches BIOL 1309. Please avoid her if you can or prepared to be confused.
great professor very sweet took her online class she was great!!
Ok, we need to talk, This class is ONLY 3 tests, and a final, each test is 100 questions multiple choice. Although she doesn't reply to any emails unless she has something to say, she provides everything (but not with details) so if you open your eyes up and look for whatever she posted, you would not wanna go ask her questions. TAKE HER!
she is ok I guess. Just 4 exams (including the final) and some multiple choice questions for extra credit. Even tho she doesn't reply to emails, online class is not organized.
Dr. Perry is a woman of few words. She may not get back to you when you want her to but if you follow her instructions, read, and study the material you will pass her class. She appears harsh but I believe it is because she expects you to pay attention to instruction. If you are a needy student you should look elsewhere, otherwise, take her.
Outstanding community leader, educator, caring teacher. Dr. Perry will be missed.
She is very rude and unprofessional and likes to belittle students in class !!!
