She was the best professor that I have ever had. This class was challenging, but she explains things so clearly. If you don't know something, she is more than helpful. Easy A if you know how to study & if interested in Micro.
Awesome teacher.. made micro a breeze, wish she taught other classes that I needed. TAKE HER FOR MICRO
Great teacher I advise anyone who actually wants to learn chemistry take her shes great
she is a very good teacher. she is very smart and down to earth.
Awesome teacher! She gives notes during class and that's what is on her tests. You DO NOT need to buy a book for this class, she even tells you so.
Great Teacher!!
BRENDA IS A GREAT TEACHER SHE LOVES WHAT SHE IS DOING AND SHE IS VERY FUN TO LISTEN TO.
She is an awesome teacher! Do NOT need book for Nutrition class. You will learn a lot and have fun.
She is a great teacher! Lectures are ALWAYS interesting. She is a lot of fun in class. Her notes are very easy to follow. She explains everything very well.

She stepped in after my last professor passed away. She is a very nice person, but i find it hard to stay awake in the class. No matter how much i study, i still do poorly on the tests. Maybe its just not my thing. She is a funny woman though and seems to try and get us involved.
She is amazing!! She explains things so well. Her chemistry class is great. I actually understand it.
she is cool if u dont't do anything wrong in her class, but if u do she starts to pissing u off
This class can easy or it can be hard depending on how the teacher feel that day. She is helpfully to some of the students, and others forget it, you do not have a leg to stand on, not even a peg leg with a kick stand. I pass the class, but it would have been nice to receive a little help, instead you got the brittle beer face.
Brenda is a great teacher. She is very helpful and quite funny at times. If you have questions, she is always willing to answer them. Any time I left a message on her voicemail asking a question, she always returned my calls. She is one of the best teacher's I've had at this school and I wish more were like them. No need to buy the course book
excellent teacher. she knows so much and explains the material so well. makes class interesting and is always prepared.
PROF BREEDING IS A WONDERFUL TEACHER..LOVED HER JOKES AND SHE REALLY KEEPS YOUR ATTENTION...VERY HELPFUL AND LETS U KNOW WHATS ON HER TEST..
Took her online class and really enjoyed it. Tests aren't too tough and the assignments are easy and you learn from them. Made me really change my eating habits!
Wonderful teacher! Anyone who is looking for an eventful, entertaining, and informational class with a professor who is caring and knows her stuff, should make sure Brenda Breeding is on their schedule! You'll love her!
A great teachr. I learned a lot in her class. Even though I took her class during summer, she made it a great and fun class. It is worth taking her class even if it is not required. I loved her.
I never took the shrink wrap off of my book and made an A in her class. She is pretty funny and as long as you take notes you'll be fine. She likes to reference liquor and drugs as much as she can.
very interesting class, keeps you awake. very easy to make an A+.
She is nice and gives really good notes. As long as you copy all notes and study a bit and do assignments (they helped a lot too) you will do fine!
Very easy online class...
great class, good information. i took online, breeding was awesome. very helpful, didn't have ridiculous expectations. i used an old edition of the book and was fine. there is a small booklet w/ nutritional information they want you to buy but we didn't use it at all. she offers links to notes from another teacher, i found them helpful.
I took her online nutrition class. It was very easy if you did all the work. She is a great professor!
She is a very good teacher and will work with you on almost anything I would highly recommend taking her nutrition class
She was a great teacher!!! I took her online class and she was very helpfull when i needed it. The study guides are a must, she really wants to help you. TAKE HER FOR NUTRITION!
Excellent! Best professor you could ask for. Very sharp and very detailed. Truly wonderful personality.
I took her online Nutrition class. I never met her in person. Her online class was fairly easy. The tests are very stressful because of the time limit. They are 40 questions with one hour to do them. She rarely responded to my emails. Again, this was an online class. She may be more helpful in her classroom courses. I don't regret taking her.
Prof. Breeding is an outstanding instructor. She is very organized and very clear in her explanations. I took her for both Microbiology and Nutrition (online) and I thoroughly enjoyed her classes. Come to class and do the work and its an easy A.
Tests off notes. As long as you study will do well. Funny too.
Lectures could have been better and more thorough but this was the first "8 week" class that actually turned into only 5 1/2 due to weather and what not.
She is a great teacher! Her Microbiology course is an easy "A" if you show up for every class period. She is one of the few professors that is actually able to teach well.
I took her Nutrition class online in the Fall of 09. She NEVER EVER EVER responded to an email. If you like communication with your professor I would not take her! Other than that her test were pretty hard, but you had your book and the internet. The discussion boards were very simple and easy.
One of the easiest classes I have ever taken. If you do the homework then you will do well on the test. The book sucked but If you went to class and got the notes it was really easy.
I took her 8week Nutrition class. She made class very interesting, I was afraid that class would be very boring, because duration of class was more than 2 hours.We did not use the textbook and I liked this.
She is a GREAT professor! Make sure you go to every class, it makes doing the homework so much easier. She explains things very well and is extremely thorough. You will always have a chance to ask questions over the homework in class. She is also pretty funny-definitely sign up for her class!
I took Prof Breeding for an 8 week online Nutrition class. Although I did receive an A in her class, it was not easy. The test questions are not straight out of the book. When I would email with questions it took her sometimes a week to respond, VERY frustrating!
Great teacher. Her lectures are very clear and thorough. Her notes are the best as they do follow along in specific chapters & are very clear to take home and study. She even volunteers every lecture to go through homework and whatever else people have questions on. Very nice, intelligent, warm lady and prepares you very well for every next exam!
LOVED breeding she was the funniest teacher ever. Made class interesting and wanted her students to do well. Textbook not needed so don't buy. Just need lab manual.
Prof. Breeding for Nutrition made the class as fun as could be! She is interactive but stays on subject. Though attendance is not mandatory, skipping is not wise, the notes are thorough. By the way, if you do not read the book, you will fail. I would recommend Breeding as a Professor in general, super helpful!, but crystal clear on her policies.
Professor Breeding is awesome great over all. she keeps u interested in the lecture. It is never a dull moment in her class. highly recommend for a Professor.
Nice, funny, professor with sense of humor. Her lectures were helpful towards test, but recommended to read chapters. Not possible to do good on tests on her lectures notes alone; must read the chapters! Overall, I enjoyed her class.
Good professor. She has good notes on the board. She's always willing to answer all your questions. Don't be afraid to ask. She knows a lot.
introduction to statistics is not her the subject to be teaching she lectured totally different than the homework out of the book leaves about 3 hours of homework per lecture.
Prof. Breeding is such a great teacher!! She is hilarious and has the best analogies to help you remember the concepts. The information is difficult, but she presents the information in a very well organized manner and lets you know what is important for exams. She made learning about bacteria and diseases SO much fun!! I highly recommend her!
She is a great teacher! She gives you her notes from the book but you should still read the book. She is a easy teacher to ask questions. I highy recommend her! Oh and she works with you if you're a litte behind! <3 her!
online 8 week class was easy
Professor Breeding may the best and most caring professor on Earth. She will take time to answer any and all questions and genuinely wants her students to succeed. She is also very funny and has a quick wit. Great personality! I wish she could teach all of my classes!
She is great! Very helpful, good sense of humor, and she returns emails very fast. I can't wait to take another one of her classes. You can make an A but you have to read your book and know your stuff. It isn't an easy A. You will get the grade you earn.
Take her for every class you can.Everything she writes or draws you take it in your notes.Her tests are always directly off her notes.The classes she teaches are not easy classes but, she wants you to learn and it's important to her that you understand.You will learn very interesting stuff and she has a funny/interesting way of making it stick!
Best professor I have had, and I have taken a lot of science professors at OCCC. Very knowledgeable about Microbiology. She writes everything on the board and her tests come straight from it. Lets you ask questions. Real life examples and had fun ways of memorizing the material. I recommend her to everyone!
She's absolutely hilarious! She's very clear about what is on her tests, and I like her style of teaching. Her weird analogies will make you remember everything! I highly recommend her!
Rude and she is NOT willing to help at all!
Professor Breeding is very knowledgeable in her field of Microbiology. Her lectures are always interesting and also talks about how her information applies to the real world. Tests are challenging, they make you think, but are not hard. Study for this class and show up to her lectures. Very easy going teaching to work with.
Prof. Breeding is an amazing professor who is very funny, smart, and straight to the point. Her lectures and notes are mostly on the exam. However, recording this class is a must. Everything she says during lecture, whether it is a small comment or opinion about the topic, is imperative the exams. She makes you think and applies material to life.
She refuses to tell you what's going to be on the tests. She is little help and is uncooperative with her students.
Online class. The tests were tough( NCLEX style questions that came from the reading with a few random ones to ruin your day) but thankfully they are open booknote. She graded easy on homework and discussions giving 100% if you completed them. I would take her again but I didn't find this class "enjoyable".
Brenda Breeding was an amazing instructor! She was willing to help her students and always provided suggestions and advice when needed. She is very patient, understanding, and willing to work with the needs of her students.
She never tells you what's going to be the test. She gives you good notes, but she doesn't tell you which part of it you'll be tested over. She writes long notes, what part of it we'll be tested on? She never tells you. Don't take her!
Took the online class of BIO 1023. I took it this summer and was a really easy class! I had some questions and she answered them for me that same day. I would recommend her for taking this class.
Took her online nutrition class it was a piece of cake, TAKE HER!! don't waste your time taking the class on campus... she is very nice and replays to emails asap :
Took this online. Such a breeze!
Professor Breeding is one of the greatest by far. She is very detailed about what is expected. You will have to read and apply yourself, however it is fairly simple. Breeding was very easy to communicate with and very understanding. She is also compassionate and helps all who ask for it.
Spends all of class time doing problems on the board and telling stories. Mostly taught how to use our calculators, but never when or why so the material was still difficult. Frequently misunderstood questions and seemed confused or disorganized. Did not believe in practical exercises, group work, or any method of teaching but writing on the board.
I wish I could have Breeding for every course! I took her online nutrition course and although the test were tricky if you read your book you will do great! The only extra credit you get is at the end of the semester and its hard to get, so make sure you stay on top of HW and test!
I took her online nutrition course and it was a breeze. She is very helpful and replies to emails! You do need the textbook because that is where the test questions come from but if you study you will be fine. Her assignments were also very easy, would recommend!
I just completed the online nutrition class and it was super easy. Read your assignments and take notes to use during the open book tests. There are 5 extra assignments that are interesting and eye openers. Just do your work, do the discussions and take your tests. Oh, and the final is ALL extra credit! Easy!!
I worked a full-time job and took care of the house while taking this class. At first I thought that I will be pulling my hair out but the class was very flexible. I was able to work at my own pace and complete assignments ahead. Professor Breeding was available when I needed her and replied very fast.
Great professor, no group activities or group work. Do the homework and you'll be fine. She's funny, not heavy on the lectures. Very accessible and willing to help you if you're struggling.
Professor Breeding is great and defiantly lives up to her OCCC reputation! She is extremely patient with everyone in class. If you are really not understanding something and she sees you putting in the effort she will arrange to meet with you after class and outside of her normal office hours. I plan on taking her for another class soon!
Online tests are timed but it gives you plenty of time to get it done. If you study the material well you should do fine on the tests. She gives practice tests that are nice to have.
Amazing professor. Took her for Nutrition and she is by far my favorite professor I have ever taken. The last test is all extra credit.
She made learning Microbiology fun. I looked forward to going to lectures. By far the most impactful professor I have had.
This rate is coming from someone who strongly dislikes all science. I took her online nutrition class for a biology credit & I was so surprised as to how easy she made the class! Each test is over 2 chapters, which makes it easier to study & she provides chapter objectives for you to answer & those objectives are exactly what are on the test.
I was very disappointed in Professor Breeding. Her reviews were great, however, that has not been my experience. It takes her over a week to get back with me regarding questions with assignments and sometimes she doesn't answer at all! This has been the most frustrating class I have taken so far. I would not suggest taking online classes with her.
Professor Breeding is great! Do the work and you will surely pass. The writing assignments was not difficult at all. This class is self-paced so you could actually complete it in 4 weeks or less, depending on your schedule. The work is not hard at all and the ebook was very helpful in completing ALL the assignments and exams. The final is optional!
I had Mrs. a Breeding for online fast-track Microbiology. She was a great online teacher & made the class fairly easy! Informational slides, objectives are just as you would see on a test.
I really enjoyed Professor Breeding in my Introductory Nutrition class. She was very informative with lots of information to study with and she gave you review slides for each section to review before the test. Her tests and assignments were fairly easy if you just study and use the review materials she gives you.
She often took multiple days to respond to emails. When I forgot my name on an assignment I received a zero for that assignment doing the entirety of the assignment. The class is very work heavy and nearly impossible to take along with other classes. I spent nearly 25 hours a week studying and would still receive C's and B's on my exams.
Pros- She gave chances for extra credit Cons- Tests were hard and study guides weren't that helpful Added herself into a study group with students and made very unhelpful remarks when people would seek help from other students
The main issue with this course is the poorly written questions and incorrect grades for assignments. I studied the material more than anyone else, and I guarantee that I knew the textbook better than the professor herself. Yet I would miss questions that I knew I got right with 100% certainty (I triple-check them), which was very frustrating.
A tremendous amount of work for barely any points. Test reviews do not help so don't waste your time. Questions on the test are ridiculously worded and hard to understand. I enjoyed the online lab. Professor is absent except for the weekly reminders about what work is due and the discussions.
I'm not sure where these high marks are coming from. Simple "note taking" will not suffice; be prepared to study the objectives and the textbook like a second language. "Practice Questions" PowerPoints do not correlate with VERY GROSSLY AND UNNECESSARILY SPECIFIC exam questions, so do NOT waste your time.
She had the least assignments to complete out of the classes I took. This means you really have to read the textbook and study! She grades fairly easily on homework assignments but you have to read the textbook in order to get the grade you want. She responds back to emails quickly. Assignment wise it is easy but you have to study for the tests.
the practice quizzes she posts has no correlation to the actual tests. i thought i was the only one who struggled taking her class but my class mate from chem. who is taking her 8 week online class agreed with me too. i just feel like she could post videos of her lecturing instead of making us read textbooks ourselves.
I took this class online 8 week. There was a test due every Sunday evening over two chapters which is pretty typical of an 8 week class. Online discussions were easy and homework was a great boost for your grade because each assignment was worth 50 points. Professor Breeding is straight forward and quick to communicate when needed.
Professor Breeding's class has a bit of a learning curve, but with dedication and using resources like Unstuckstudy, you can succeed. The exams are specific, so be sure to review the provided materials thoroughly.
