Honestly, this is the best Bio teacher I have ever seen/had. I have taken AP Bio in high school, and Bio 111 the previous semester with another teacher. None of them compare with Dr. Littlefield! She is the nicest, most helpful, and charming professor for this course. Biology is a hard subject in general, but she makes lectures very interesting!

Best Bio teacher I took here. Dropped Vasquez for this teacher. If you make less than 85 on first test, just drop it, you won't get an A. I made 90's on other ones. All you do is read the Power Points right after the Lecture Week. Read it again on Test weekend. Almost nothing really requires the Book. Make sure you do Quizzes and Labs!

This is not an easy class. It's a lot of reading which will be most beneficial to do before the lecture because she can go a little fast to cover all of the material. The tests are average as long as you study every week and really pay attention during lecture. Also make sure to study lab material carefully and use the online resources she posts.

Dr. Littlefield knows what she is talking about when it comes to biology. But she lacks the empathy needed to be a teacher.

Professor Littlefield? I cant begin to put into words how much she has helped me this semester. Not only are her lectures the fundamental to your understanding, but her lectures with help you take what you learned into every day life. I advice you to take detailed notes and pay attention to her talking points. She really breaks it down for you!

Honestly, the material for this course is easy to understand. But she makes the course SO much harder than it needs to be. She is a very tough grader and will ask questions that are not on the lecture videos. She refuses to give partial credit for multiple choice answers and if it's fill-in-the-blank you have to get the spelling COMPLETELY correct.

Dr. Littlefield is a really sincere and hilarious person. It is just that the course is 90% testing and quizzes (which is not my style). I had her last semester and it was terrible virtually. The fill in the blanks are way too hard... you must subtract suffixes or prefixes to her liking to get them right. I would recommend praying for her exams...

This is the only teacher I have felt compelled to give a rating on this website. Her exams are unnecessarily hard. If you haven't had the time to study, you do not have a chance on her exams. The majority of students fail her tests yet she only questions us and not herself. She treats this class as if it's the only thing in our lives.

Honestly, I was surprised how her class is extremely hard! She provides sources (powerpoints and lecture video which is longer than 1hr) BUT, the test is so hard! I swear. Most of the students will fail. I don't want to take her class anymore. I want to curse people who gave a good rating to her. HARDEST CLASS EVER!

If you don't study, or don't have time to study as much as she wants because you have a job, good luck passing the class. Like many others said, the tests are unnecessarily hard and they cover too much material. Watching the lecture videos is a necessity, and make sure you know how to spell, 1 wrong letter can cost you a whole question.

This class in unrealistic for anyone who has a job. I get this is a 4 credit course, but come on, the amount of homework, reading and studying she requires is almost unrealistic. You don't have much time for your exams AT ALL (opens Friday and closes Sunday at 5) so don't make weekend plans, and the tests cover too much material. Do not recommend!

Avoid. The only thing I will give her is she is accessible outside of class. Besides that, she made this class hard for absolutely no reason & made me hate biology. 1 minute per question, 30+ hrs of studying/wk. You can't take other classes if you want to succeed. She makes it a full time job. I hope the BIO-112 profs reevaluate their teaching.

Yes, she cares for students a lot, but her class is really tough. There are powerpoints (which are not that helpful) and you MUST see her lecture videos to get scores on tests. Her exams are super hard as well. I only slept for 4 hrs for 2 days, and I worked really really hard, but got C. Not satisfied this grade, but not gonna take this again.

Great instructor! Bur..... If you plan to take her 8week Bio-112 online class you might want to rethink it. The workload is almost unreasonable at times. You will be studying more than you ever have and if you don't, chances are it will show up in your grades and you will not be happy. Advice? Get with a study group. Seriously, you'll need it.

4 peer responses to a discussion board is excessive. Quizzes are due wed/thur @ 5pm like people dont work or have families. Only reason I didnt drop this class is because she was the only professor for online Bio112. 0/10 would not recommend. Oh and dont forget to download those lockdown browsers.

Not accommodating at all. You can email her about something going on and for a deadline extension(by a few hours) and she will disregard everything said. Explains the course and how it requires 20hrs per week(lie). 5pm turn in time is ridiculous for any course, like we dont have other classes or work outside of school. I would not recommend! Lazy!

I believe that the reviews for this teacher don't do justice to her actual teaching. Unfortunately, I think that people have a hard time in classes where you actually have to learn.
