Dr Cravaritis is a very good teacher, she is willing to help everybody you just have to ask. the tests are a little hard you have to study hard for this class, but if you study you will pass. Take advantage of the extra credit they're easy

She's amazing. Gives everything you need to know in the notes. Doesn't give pointless info or doesn't overload you. One thing that I didn't like is how we HAVE to study for the quiz and tests. You can't just pull the info out of your butt. She's a great teacher, knows how to have fun, and serious when it comes down to serious stuff. Take her!

Very nice. You have four journals (almost like current events) to expect and a group project (hard if your group does not work). If you dont take it with her, at least take it. The class is very educational, (extreamly educational if you ever plan on having sex in the future). Every sex question you have will get answered ^_^

Fabulous Professor! Easy to pass, and a little effort guarantee’s an A. Ms. Cravaritis very fair and clear on what she expects on every assignment, quiz and test. It's impossible not to like her, since she really goes out of her way to make the material easy and understandable. She won't burden you with extra information or material. Have fun!

I took this teacher for Biology of human sexuality and Fund. of Bio I. Human sexuality was a really easy class. She is a really easy teacher and definitly there to help you! Fund. of bio, was a hard class but she made it a lot easier. You really have to pay attention to her lectures and you might have to visit her office for some help but she is GR

Dr. C is really nice and her class is very interesting. Most stuff comes from powerpoint and the test are not a breeze but if you study just a little, you will pull off a B.

Good teacher, interesting class, quizes are open book, many of the tests' questions are from the quizes, attendance is very important. Easy class.

She's really easy and funny too. The quizzes are all open note/book, you really dont have to write down notes, just print them off of webct, the worksheets are easy, the only thing you really have to do is study for the tests and the do the 5 page essay about any sex related topic and thats it!

She was great! Open book quizes online were really easy, and a great help with tests. Didn't have to write notes since you could just print the power point. I always knew what to study for tests, great teacher! I got an easy A!! Plus I learned a lot about sex biology!

She's average, I wouldn't say she's amazing like everyone else, but she's decent. She's nice and will help you if you need it, all her powerpoints are online, all quizzes are through webCT but her tests are pretty hard and her lectures seem sooo much longer than what they are. I duno she's alright probably wouldn't take her again though.

She is a good teacher, but I barely pay attention to her. All quizzes are exactly what is on the printed out lecture notes. My first test I got a B on it, and all I did was study off the lecture notes. I think it was harder to try and understand what she was saying in class, as opposed to just studying on your own from the lecture notes.

Very very easy! Just print the slides off line and you are good to go! Never cracked the book just studied from the power points and quizzes. She is very clear on what she teaches and breaks down the info so you can really understand it. DEF RECOMMEND HER!! I dont even like science and I got an A on every test!

I am now in A&P 1 and much of the information I learned in Ms. C's class prepared me to do well in A&P. She provides you with all of the info you need to do well on her tests - BUT YOU MUST STUDY. I am poor in science and I made an A.

She needs to put more helps out there.

Cool teacher. Has her for bio of sexuality, which is challenging at first but gets easier and is very interesting. She is hardcore about attendance but her lectures are interesting and she's fun. Not too hard to pull a B in the class if you do all the work and she makes it interesting. Definite recommendation! Love Cravaritis.

Who ever thought that learning about sex would be easy, is wrong. However, it was a very fun and interesting class. Not to mention the teacher is awesome. i would recommend taking this class but just be prepared to study.

I was really nervous about taking Biology but this was my favorite class. You have to study but directions are clear. Just print out the notes ahead of time and follow along. Great class and lots of fun!

Dr C is a wonderful teacher, I would recommend her to anyone that needs this class. Make sure you print out your notes before lecture and follow along. All of her lecture test come from these notes

Great teacher overall. She really cares about you and how you do in her class.i wont say this class is an easy A but its not hard as long as you study.I HIGHLY recomend that you take her.

great prof. took her lab and lecture; passionate about science. you dont need the book, just make sure you print out the powerpoints and bring them to class. quizes are a piece of cake. Just make sure you study for the tests. wish she would teach Microbiology

This class wasnt the easiest but it wasnt the hardest. You have to put in effort. The quizzes were generally easy, the tests you NEED to study for cause they're hard. You dont really need the text book, but it can help. The assignments were ok. She's very nice. She kind of resembles Tiffany Amber Thiessen, lol. Just put effort in and you'll be fine

Teacher is very very nice !!! she is always there to help ... you have to be willing to study for her test but if you do you'll have no problem getting an A. there is 5 test and the 5th test is the final which id only a few chapters ... if u have trouble with bio take her she will help so so much!!!!!

Dr.c is a great teacher! print out her notes and take notes on them from lecture and that is what her lecture tests will be on. you need to study alot though because you need to understand all the material. the lab you only have midterm and final and they are difficult. you are only allowed to miss on day of lab. i would take her again!

Fantastic Professor! She is always available and helpful. Print out the powerpoint notes before each lecture and study from them. Her tests were hard especially lab practicals. You need to put the time in to study. She loves what she does and she made it enjoyable for me. I would recommend her. Wish she was teaching micro.

funny and a good teacher. Notes are extremely useful

She is the best teacher I have ever had. Great!! She really wants to help you.. You do have to study but she is good, take her. I recommend her 100% I just dont have anything else to say. She's greatttt!!!!

AWESOME

Good teacher and extremely helpful. Has online, open note and slide quizzes after each section, 4 exams, 2 lab practicals and very minimal HW. She drops lowest grades in quizzes, tests and lab quizzes. Advice, be sure to double check your answers on online quizzes sometimes you can have an answer right and it was marked as wrong.

She is awesome. She always tries to help students. and hot!!

She really knows what she's talking about, but her tests are pretty specific & you have to study for them! Unless you are super smart at memorizing LOTS of info from the powerpoint notes. She doesn't require you to read the $170 textbook she tells you to get cuz she uses pwrpnt notes. Her quizzes are online(not tests) so you can easlily use notes.

It's difficult material, but she is great at explaining everything and she will take as much time out of class as you need to help you. She has a querky sense of humor too. I loved taking her class

If you always show up to her class ready to learn, and you actually study for the tests, then this is an easy class. However, I suppose this class may be hard if you were expecting to get an A for simply showing up. I personally think that Dr. Cravaritis is an excellent professor, and I also think that her tests were fair.

you have to study a lot. As long as you do that you'll be fine.

Amazing teacher! Come to lecture and take notes and you'll be fine. As long as you're a decent student that cares about their grade then you'll succeed in her class. She's very helpful and always responds to emails ASAP. Would definitely take her again if I had the chance!! Her tests can be kind of hard but as long as you study and review the material everyday you'll be good.

Tough class. MUST study, watch lectures(test material from here), go to lab. Lab and lecture quizzes weekly. Final NOT cumulative. Provides lab practical study guide. Was a lot of work but I kept up with it and made an A without too much struggle. Very nice, willing to help, quick response to emails. Would take her for another class.

very interesting class. took it summer A. open book quizzes. tests in testing center. questions can be tricky but you can justify your answers & you might get more points. YOU HAVE TO STUDY. it's a lot of info. didn't buy/use book, but it can be helpful. I actually like the lectures. They're really helpful. Good teacher.

Great class. Took during summer, went by so quickly. Go to lecture and study and you will be fine. She's very helpful, nice, and funny!

DR.C is an amazing professor! She is so funny, a great teacher, and I can say I really look up to her as a person. There's a lot of course work but I don't mind it because she makes it simple by supplying us with adequate knowledge. I wish she taught Bio 2 or any other course for that matter! DO TAKE HER!

She will explain the material for whatever question you have. The material is hard to understand unless you are fluent in Bio but that's not the professor's fault. She tries to help as much as possible. As long as you listen to her lectures and study them you will pass the test. I definitely recommend her.

Dr. C is a great professor! She's extremely funny and helpful. Yes this class is difficult and requires a lot of STUDYING. You have to work hard in this class to get a good grade. If you stay on task with all the assignments and actually study a couple days in advance for the test ( not day of test) you will pass!

This was no doubt a difficult class but I expected that. I wish I wouldn't have had a full course load, I would have done much better. I don't have an A because I just didn't study enough. (also have bad ADD, super hard to focus) Dr. C. is more than fair. Her lectures are awesome. It's up to you to learn the material. Hope I pass.

She is an amazing teacher and will make everything in her powerpoints clear. Although when asked what to study for the tests she just says to know everything. And you need to. Tests are exponentially hard, and there is more on the tests than what she covered. GO ASK FOR HELP. She will explain anything you need. And read the book, it will save you.

Great teacher! If I was able to take her again I would. When signing up for Biology you should know that it will be a lot of work and that is not her fault. She is very clear and her grading is reasonable. I did not touch the book once, just listen to her lectures and you will do fine. I highly recommend her great lady!

She is very nice and helpful, make sure you are going to attend all the labs and take notes, and study really hard, it was not easy, but she is a great professor, very knowledgeable and straightforward, but again Study hard!!

She has a great set up for a hybrid version of Bio 1, but you must attend the labs. You will take a practical at the end, which is tough. On top of that, you will have 4 exams, which have nothing to do with terms and everything to do with UNDERSTANDING the concepts and processes. So, you must study, period.

Bio is a very demanding class & very tough material, that being said Dr C has a pretty good set up if you are a dedicated student, about 12 the grade is tests the 12 is weekly assignments like discussions, open note quizes, learnsmart etc. Only extra credit is extra questions on her tests, if you aren't willing to put in effort bio isn't for you

Took Hybrid Bio1. All lectures are online, you only go to lab once a week. Expect homework & quizzes weekly. Group discussion hw every 3-4chapters Good thing is they are all online so its open book. Tests are a bit hard, but if you study you will pass. Labs are interesting but long. Gives some extra credit. Good teacher overall but she' strict.

Awesome teacher who really loves what she's teaching. The tests are pretty tough but you'll do fine as long as you pay attention in lecture and study the lecture slides.

A lot of work, but its a 4 credit class. She listens and will help you as much as she can. Organized and clear-cut as to what is due, but tests are different matter. Tests were a bit ambiguous as to what was need to be studied and what wasn't. My tip is to grab a group of people and study the quizzes.

I took a Hybrid course a couple semesters ago. This is Bio 1, and as such, it should be difficult. For any complaints on here, those individuals aren't cut out to continue on in the sciences. The professor sets you up for success with your future courses, and thats critical. You get what you put into this course.

I would definitely recommend Professor Cravaritis for anyone wanting to take Biology. Her class is definitely challenging but she is very clear in her lectures and is extremely willing to help you in any way possible to get good grades. I met with her in her office hours after every test and quiz and was even able to get extra points added back.

Professor Cravaritis is an exceptional professor. She provides all of her lectures online, which become a great help when you want to study. Expect the material to be difficult, although she breaks a lot of it down into easy analogies. I've taken this class 3 times, already. I passed my fourth attempt with an A.

Favorite professor so far. She is very helpful and really clears things up. Most of the questions on the tests will come from discussion boards and lectures, so if you do take her I recommend studying from those. Overall, tough course but great professor.

I loved this class! The coursework is demanding (as it should be for a 4 credit class), but Dr. C is extremely clear with what is expected. Class attendance and organization are crucial. Tests can be tricky, but study and ask questions in class! She's more than willing to help. I received an A, and feel prepared for my other science classes.

The work load is heavy, its like having a part time job. But if you pay attention and put in the time and effort you will pass. Lots of homework, quizzes, lecture assignments,etc. But its all to prepare you for the test. Go to tutoring, her office hours and listen to the online lectures when studying and review previous quizzes & you'll be good.

Dr. C is very helpful, she sets you up for success and even reviews your assignments if you'd like before their due date. Labs are fun and interesting and she makes lectures worth while (she hints at whats going to be on the test). Very sweet and will work with you if you need it, take advantage of all resources and you will pass!

Dr.C is an amazing professor. I went into the class thinking I was going to fail and ended up with an A. She is super sweet and always willing to help. The test are pretty simple just study the chapter quizzes and lecture assignments and you should do fine.

Took hybrid biology class. Her class is very organized. Expectations are clear. Tools needed to succeed are provided. Continually encourages to meet up during office hours to see what can be done to help your grade. Video lectures were done well and could be sped up if you found them a little dry. The effort you put in is the grade you will get.

I took her class as a hybrid class, and I struggled. It's a lot of online lectures and taking notes on your own. The class itself is great, she has good labs and is a good professor. Definitely visit her during office hours, she is a great help. I got a C in the class, solely because I didn't understand how to study for her exams, but she is great.

She is a really great professor and she really cares about her students. She will do everything she can to help you pass and she is very quick to respond to emails. The class itself is very challenging I took it as a hybrid and it was very difficult if your not good at teaching yourself. I would recommend taking her in class and you will pass.

I love Dr. C! She is a great professor. She was very clear and upfront at the very first class of what is expected. I suggest taking her onsite class.

Dr Cravaritis is amazing! I have no science bg except Bio 1. I have learned so much throughout her course, esp. in lab. Her labs are fun. I think the prev. reviews are from students who aren't putting in the time or effort. Her class is difficult, but if you apply yourself, you will get an A. Tests are based off CH quizzes & she gives Lab Review

I thought Dr. C was great and very knowledgeable! I took her hybrid online biology class this summer, and from the beginning it was very clear on what was expected in the class and how to receive a good grade. She wants you to do well truly, so if you put in the work, you will get the grade. Gratitude Dr. C!

Dr. C is an extraordinary professor. She is clear from the beginning of what she expects out of you. Tests are primarily from chapter quizzes. Highly recommend reading the chapters. I hadnt had a bio class in over 10 years. You put in the work, you get the grade. She is encourages you to ask questions and to utilize tools given.

She's very nice and does what she can to help. You basically do all the labs together as a class (4 people to a group), there's no pre or post lab due. Exams are tough but the assignments, homework, and labs aren't too difficult. There's a good amount of homework due. Make sure you study and look at previous quizzes before taking the exams.

Micro is simply not an easy class. Professor Cravaritis makes it easy and straight forward while teaching. She gives lab quizzes and lecture quizzes every week that are helpful because they prepare you for the tests. You do the labs together as a class, which is helpful because they can be tricky. For the lab practicals she gives great study guides

Overall, Dr. C wasnt a bad professor. She made the class and grading clear from the beginning and this class is hard so obviously you are going have to actually study. Plenty of material to be prepared for tests. Lab quizzes every week plus she gives a study guide... study it and youll ace it. Lecture was powerpoints and she did every lab with us

She explains the material very well and simple for everyone to understand and is not pretentious in her work or explanations. You do need to put in the effort to study and Dr. C provides more than enough homework assignments to keep your grade nice and high to pass her class.

Professor C is the best bio professor! I am in her hybrid class, and it is not that bad. you just have to be on top of your work. she gives study guides and her exams and quizzes are from her power points. she gives a lot of work so you can pass and her assignments are super easy. if you have a 90 or higher you don't have to take the finals.

Easily the best Bio teacher Ive had. From the very start you know what youre getting yourself into and exactly what is required and what is not. With Dr. Cs help I was able to get the grade that I was hoping for. I went in with a positive mind and got out with a solid grade! Shes the best!!

She is one of the most caring/attentive prof.! Yes there's weekly labs assignments & quizzes but it's pretty much exactly what's on the test! I found that if I watched the lectures and the weekly zooms, I didn't have to read chapters from cover to cover. I got a 99% & didn't have to take the final. Make time, participate, do the work. It pays off!

I do recommend this professor to anyone who is going into a science degree. This class is pretty lecture heavy but taking time outside of class to do notes and watch her online lectures really helped.

Great professor! Participate, watch lecture vids before class, study for tests, and you'll pass. Test heavy so study! Provides chapter activities that are great for practice. One quiz, smartbook assignment, and lab quiz due each week. Easy labs and nothing comes as a surprise on the test. If you have an A before final week you don't have to take it

Dr. C is phenomenal - not only a competent instructor, but also considerate of students' individual study habits. She implements that into the curriculum, and gives wonderful advice on how and when you should be completing assignments/studying, as well as what to prepare for on tests. You have to put in HONEST work for good feedback and advice.

You'll have to put in a lot of effort. She gives some extra credit, PPT, and many lesson videos. Difficult to understand at times but knows her stuff and is more than willing to help. Great at helping with scheduling when to do work and giving notice of due dates. Lots of work to do that helps reinforce a lot of info. May give study guides

Dr. C is one of the best teachers I've ever had. She's kind, caring, and fair. Plus, she's so good at explaining concepts of biology that although I usually prefer to learn through reading, I didn't touch the textbook more than once in this course. If you utilize well the resources she provides, getting an A in her class will be a breeze.

Dr. C has decades of experience and improves upon her methods. No final during summer, or if you have an A average during Spring/Fall. Active teaching style. Bite size pre-recorded lecture videos. Very responsive via e-mail. Only complaint: lots of online assignments across multiple websites. This is a hard class, but Dr. C is an expert.

She's an amazing professor. She's organized, provides helpful resources, and gives insightful feedback. In addition, the way she structures the course helps retention tremendously. In fact, I got As on all my unit exams and final exams without much studying thanks to the course structure.

I learned much more from this class. She has excellent lecture videos and designs the course in such a way that makes you practice what you learn every week leading up to the exam. Thus, I never felt unprepared for any exam in this class. The group assignments are also extremely helpful.

If you are a lazy student that just wants an easy A Chegging your way through college, you will not enjoy her class. If you are a student that actually wants to learn the material, take her! She is such an excellent teacher that does a fantastic job of explaining the material. She gives you everything you need to succeed if you put in the effort.

I've never loved biology classes, especially online but Dr. C made biology enjoyable. You're required to watch short 5-10-minute lectures videos weekly but they are super helpful. All the materials she provides do a !great job of preparing for unit tests and the final and are graded by completion. Defnitely would recommend her

This is a hybrid class, and it's one of the best classes I have taken at Valencia. Her in-person lab sessions are very informative, and she does an excellent us guiding students through all the procedures. Her lecture videos are extremely helpful, and the assignments do a good job of preparing me for the exam. Highly recommend!

Her in-person lectures are super helpful. Love the format of the final.

Her tests are a little challenging, but her assignments, lecture videos, lab sessions, and in-class activities will prepare you excellently for them. Take her!

I had a great experience in Dr.C's bio class. She's an excellent teacher, flexible on attendance, great lectures and helpful labs. I highly recommend her, you will not regret it!

Awesome class and professor! Super informative, and the labs are extremely helpful

Dr. Cravaritis has been amazing so far. She's an amazing teacher and an incredibly kind and caring human being. Definitely will take her again if I could!

Amazing professor, but you do need to put in a little effort to be successful in this class.

Best teacher I've had so far at Valencia. She takes the time to learn your name and offers you the opportunity to meet with her after class if you are struggling in any areas. She also tells you what she's testing on so you're not learning unnecessary information from the textbook. Love her style of teaching!

genuinely the best prof i've had so far. gives MULTIPLE extra credit opportunities. she's so caring and you can tell she genuinely cares for her students. you can tell she wants everyone to pass and does everything possible to see that happen. most of the exam material is on power points and videos. i would 100% take her again. absolutely loved it

Dr. Cravartis is a great professor. All of her homework assignments are submitted online, and she has tests after every few chapters reviewed. She provides videos of each chapter so that you can study exactly what is on the test. If you don't understand something, she is eager to help you better understand it.

Amazing teacher. Barely passed the class with an A, and it took a LOT of effort. There are 4 exams, final exam, final lab practical exam, lab quizzes, and general quizzes about the content. She uses honorlock for the exams and final. If you have an A, you don't have to take the final. Usually 3 quizzes due every week. Tip: go to her live zooms.

Dr. Cravaritis has so far been one of the best professors I've had. Of course, the course itself is a bit difficult; it's biology. The structure of the course is that there are 4 exams, quizzes for the textbook, a canvas quiz for every chapter, and a quiz for every lab. It seems a lot, but she is a great professor that is very understanding.

She is hands down the best professor I've had during my time in college. From the very first day of class, Dr. Cravaritis' passion for the subject matter and genuine care for student learning was evident. Her lectures are dynamic and interactive, making complex microbiology concepts accessible and interesting.

Professor Cravaritis was a privilege to learn from. While the class was work intensive and challenging, Prof. C really cared and was very supportive through the course. Study in advance! Lecture is not technically required, although I recommend attending as much as possible. Lab is mandatory, after 3 absences in lab you will fail the lab portion!

Biology is a very complex subject from beginning to the end, however I HIGHLY RECOMMEND taking professor Cravaritis! She makes bio so much easier. Do all the smart book assignments on time and get those easy points because her exams are heavily weighted. She will give extra credit opportunities but moral of the story is STUDY and WATCH THE VIDEOS

Professor Cravaritis is an amazing teacher who makes Biology engaging. Her videos and activities effectively prepare students for exams. Unstuck ai was a helpful study tool alongside the course materials.

She was a very nice professor and cared for what she did and her students, but her class was lecture heavy and she definitely had a lot of homework and you NEED to study. Her tests are in person, but if you're confused then ask her because she will not hesitate. to answer and give good feedback.

Biology is not an easy class, and with this professor that's not going to change. However, she cares a lot and if you seek help she would not hesitate to. I took it mixed mode (lectures in-class, lab online) and, even though there was a lot of work to do, I learned a lot. Lots of stuff to do and study, but if you do what you gotta do, you'll pass.

Professor C, is really good and explaining, she makes everything easy to memorize. I would take a class with her again. She gives you tips on how to study for her tests and gives really good feedback.

Professor C was easily the best professor i had. the way she teachers and her homework will help you understand the material! Just watch the videos and be prepared for her class! if you're looking for an easy A dont take her though. You have to actually learn in this class.She is very caring of her students and always answers questions!

Dr. C is my favorite professor at Valencia east! She makes learning about biology so much fun and gives thorough explanations of each topic. If you need help, reach out and she will do all that she can for you. She genuinely cares about her students' success. I would take this class again in a heartbeat.

Honestly one of the best teachers I've ever had. Explains everything super easily and really engages with students. Her grading scale works in your favor. HW, classwork, and quizzes tie into the test, so it's super straightforward. Super funny as well, honestly always looked forward to going to her class.

She has videos instead of full in class lectures!
