do not take her she is very hard and will fail you without thinking even if u try ur hardest
she barely speaks english so its hard to understand. And she doesn't teach she just reads.
I TOOK HER DURING THE SUMMER...I GOT C'S AND D'S ON THE TEST, BUT SHE KNEW MY NAME AND KNEW THAT I ALWAYS TRIED AND SHE GAVE ME A B. I ALSO GOT A B IN HER LAB, SHE WAS NOT FRIENDLY, AND SHE CANNOT SPEAK GOOD ENGLISH, BUT SHE WILL HELP YOU.

her class isn't hard i mean you have to read, she practically gives you the answers if you listen to wat she says!!!!!! she cant speak good english but she will tell to to shut up if u talkin when she talkin...lol she can be funni! but there is no way(unless u just plain dumb or you jus dont try) you can fail her class: quizzes and lab reports are extra credit and she gives credit just for you tryn...
I really like Dr. Odewumi, regardless of what anybody else says. If you come to class and do what you need to do and if you have the ability to act as a mature college student, you should have no problem in her class, or getting along with her. She's really funny too!
her voice is really annoying. By the end of 3 hours, i wanted to rip my ears off. She's tuff and does not give breaks. No curve, no nothing. Dont take her.
ONE THE WORST BIOLOGY TEACHERS TO TAKE. HER CLASS IS NOT SIMPLE AND SHE IS NOT HELPFUL TO EVERY STUDENT. SHE IS FUNNY AT TIMES BUT THATS BECAUSE OF YOU BARELY UNDERSTAND HER ACCENT AND THE WAY SHE ACTS. SHE MOVES AT A VERY FAST PACE, HAS A TEST ALMOST EVERY WEEK AND SHE DOESN'T REVIEW FOR THEM. VERY POOR TEACHER.
Dr. Odewumi is the best Science professor I have ever had-that includes highschool.She is funny, extremely helpful,and extremely clear( if you can understand her accent). She brings biology 'down to earth', in other words, she makes it very easy to understand.Quizzes are EXTRA CREDIT( there are at least 5) and she'll pass you if you get to know her
She's good once you get past the accent. She actually cares if you pass or fail. I know I shoulda had a C but she gave me a B.
CAN YOU SAY ****! SHE HAS AN ATTITUDE ALL THE DAMN TIME 5 WEEKS AFTER CLASS STARTED SHE STARTED ****ING ABOUT BUYING THE DAMN LAB BOOK WHEN ALL YOU NEED IS ONE PER GROUP. SHE DOESN'T REVIEW AND THEN SHE SPRINGS THIS DUMB ASS TEST ON YOU. FOR THE PEOPLE THAT WROTE THAT "SHE WAS SO GREAT"YOU MUST HAVE BEEN EATING HER ASS TO PASS AND ENJOY THIS CLAS
This class is 3 hours long and she makes you stay for the "whole" 3 hours. She's rude sometimes and my roommate and i just really did not like her or her class, take any one else but her believe me.
She is an a**hole.. Lecture, she is the worst!!!not very good at speaking english. Speaks very negatively to the class.Lab is unbareable, but she will keep you for that whole 3 hours.
Let me not talk bout the african princess..she is so rude....for her to like you u need to basically pass her tests ...her labs is str8 but her lecture class..i advise that you take sum1 else if u plan on passing....p.s. she has pretty t

SHE IS EXTRA HARD AND DOES NOT EXPLAIN INFORMATION WELL. RUN!
This class was awful!!!! Please don't take her. The class is impossible no matter how hard you study and she doesn't want to help you. Get out while you can!
In my three years of school I have never had such a cold hearted professor.She cares for who she wants to care for.Heavy accent bores you in class so it's tough to pay attention,plus her test are outrageously difficult for the degree of the course.Do your-self a favor and don't take her, maybe they'll keep her stuck in a lab and out of the classroo
I don't believe in bashing, but this woman kicked me out of her class for asking her to repeat what she said. I could not understand her accent "molecule" which sounded like "mole-ee-kurl"(and I wasn't laughing or anything). It is also unfortunate that she picks "favorites" and is one of the hire ranking professors. Avoid her at all costs!
Dr. Odewumi is a very intelligent professor. She has a sense of humor and is willing to help those who seek her assistance. Her grading is very fair and her test are straight from the study guide. She is easy! But she can have an attitude at times.
HAS SENSE OF HUMOR AND A SLICK MOUTH! TEST COME DIRECTLY FOR CLASS SLIDE SHOW, SENDS OUT PRACTICE TEST THAT ARE THE TEST IN A DIFFERENT ORDER. COULD HAVE MADE AN A...INSTEAD AN B....DROPS LOWEST TEST GRADE...NO MAKE-UPS FOR MISSED TEST NO MATTER WHAT,AND QUIZZES ARE EXTRA POINTS AT THE END OF THE SEMESTER
SHE'S A GREAT TEACHER AND VERY HELPFUL. GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR. ALL THE SLIDES AND THE STUDY GUIDE ARE ON THE TESTS. AND SHE HAS A STUDY SESSION THATS HELPFUL AS WELL
I love her...she drops the lowest test grade. quizzes count as extra points...her study guides are exactly like her tests....she is very funny...enjoys what she does...I got an A out of her class...I would recommend that everyone take her
She looks like a man.
GOOD TEACHER, TEST ARE EXACTLY WHATS ON THE SLIDES ON BLACKBOARD. VERY CARING AND WILLING TO HELP STUDENTS...HAS GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR AND A SLICK MOUTH
PPL FAIL HER CLASS BECAUSE THEY DO NOT STUDY HER CLASS IS EASY IF U STUDY AND IF U PAY ATTNTN IN CLASS. GO 2 THE STUDY SESSIONS SHE GOES OVER OLD QUIZZES AND SOME OF THE SAME QUESTIONS APPEAR ON THE TEST. AND GO GET THE OLD TESTT FROM HER A LOT OF THE QUESTIONS WILL BE ON THE TEST
I loved Ms. Odewumi!! Yes her tests are kind of hard, but if you study her notes and answer the study guide (not to mention come to the study group) then you're fine. She's strict, but means well, be ready to work. you'll appreciate it later. Her accent makes her hard to understand sometimes, but you get used to it.
Please dont take this class unless you really want to drop your g.p.a. her test are hard azz hell. she cant even speak good english. make sure you buy that text book because your sure as hell gone need it!
vERY nICE, bUT HARD YOU HAVE TO READ, STUDY, AND COMPREHEND. DONT EVER USE A CELL PHONE IN HER CLASS, SHE WILL KICK YOU OUT!!!!
I KNOW THERE'S A KIND OF MIXED REVIEW BUT I THINK THAT SHE IS A GREAT PROFESSOR...FUNNY AT TIMES WITH HER "NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND" SAYING. AS LONG AS YOU PAY ATTENTION IN CLASS...TAKE GOOD NOTES AND GO OVER THEM YOUR GUARANTEED TO PASS!
Its best to print the slides off blackboard and takes notes as she goes along. make sure you come to class and pay attention. do the study guides and stuff she puts online. go 2 the study groups she duplicates a lot of the questions. the final was all questions from previous test
I LOVED ms. odewumi!!!! she's tough and doesn't play any games but she really cares about her students and wants to help you learn. she's answers all questions gives you study guides and puts note online,but u must study to do well. after test, she gives a bunchof extra credit if u do ur homework. i would highly recommend her!!!
I was so nervous about taking Dr. Odewumi after reading her ratings. All you have to do is attend class, get to know her, and read the book some. She was always very helpful. Go to her office hours! Get her old tests that she puts outside of her office! Anyone who fails this class didn't put forth much effort. I thought she was great!
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS JUST GO TO HER OFFICE AND TAKE ALL THE TEST SHE HAS GIVEN THE PAST 3 SEMESTERS AND STUDY THOSE AND YOU WILL ACE THAT CLASS. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I DID...AN EASY A!!!!!
Dr. O is a great teacher she gives examples relating to everyday life to help break down the lesson.. i loved having her as a teacher and i highly recommend her to take
Take her!!!!
I took her for Biology Lab and she is not the best to take. Her accent is not that clear and her African background can make her seem like a real B*&ch sometimes. She makes points of for spelling and she gives your test via the projector. I highly do not recommend her for an easy A. You will have to studying very effectively!
she is jus out of this world, giving quizes back to back on the first few weeks of the course but besides that she's alright and has a meannnnn accent
Most people are pretty lazy and dont want to study but if u are serious about learning TAKE HER!!. Yeah she may have an accent but listen carefully come to class and you will pass. She is the best bio teacher i have came across since i been at Famu
Many ppl who failed her class is because they didnt study for her test (which are SUPER easy)but if u go to her class with a positive attitude, she will make sure not to fail u. just talk to her. super nice!
People who complain about her are usually the ones who never study, or come to class. She gives you the opportunity to earn about 15-20 extra credit points after some of the tests, and all of her notes are online so the accent thing is just bs. I got an A, and if you have an A before the final you don't have to take it! It's an overall good class.
look odewumi doesn't take any slack if you want an easy grade this teacher aint for you. you will have to study your a** off stay on top of the extra credit she gives and prepared for her speeches about back in my country. other than that she wants to see you pass but has a funny way of showing it. i'd give her a c
She straight. It would benefit you to read the night before class.
Dr.Odewumi is a good teacher. She requires a lot out of her students. She gives extra credit. You need to study every day for her class, and attend class regularly you will be good. You also need to pass her test because she does not give class work.
DO IT!!! She's real cool. Just get her old test outside her office and study them. She gives plenty of extra credit. Pay attention and come to class. DO IT!!!
Dr. Odewumi, is a very compassionate instructor. Her accent is very heavy but you pay close attention to her and you should be ok. I didnt pass the class, and I studied very hard I believe the language and just tests became quite difficult. She does allow you to get your work back and work on them but you still may not do well if you dont do well o
SHE IS A GREAT TEACHER YOU MUST STUDY THE OLD TEST AND NOTES SHE GIVES AND YOU WILL DO JSUT FINE DONT EXPECT HER TO GIVE OUT GRADES SHE DOESNT REALLY CARE
you must study in her class! If you dont you will NOT PASS. Do no just study from the powerpoints you must also have the book to get an A on her test. Attend all of her classes because she gives extra credit random days just for attending. She really cares about her students and do not let her see you using your phone she will kick you out!
Study! If you don't want to study, please look elsewhere. She seems very disorganized nonetheless she is a very good teacher. Be sure to check blackboard before every class cause she loves to sneak assignments on there without telling anyone and then expects them to be done by next class. She was okay
she is amasing just do it serious ly she give study gudes and everything on her study guides are on the exams she makes it possible for you to make an a she wants you to have the best grade in her class she truly lives her students just do it
Caroline Odewumi.. the best!!! You will learn SOOO much! She gives you study guides, lots of extra credit throghout semester, cares about her students! Try to get to know her, for she loves concerned students! I recommend her to anyone. Dont slack off; you do have to do your part too! Loved her!!!!

Had her for BSC 1010L and she was awesome. Helps you when you need it. She has a heavy African accent, but you get used to it. Read and take notes on the lab for the day, she may give extra credit for it, and it really helps at the end of the year to boost your grade. Make sure you know the lab procedures BEFORE class. Great teacher.
TAKE HER!! U WILL HAVE TO STUDY BUT SHE WILL DROP YOUR LOWEST TEST GRADE AND SHE GIVES SOME EXTRA CREDIT POINTS AS WELL. JUST BE WILLING TO STUDY AND U CAN GET AN A. THERE IS NO REASON TO FAIL THIS CLASS IF U STUDY. LOVE HER!!
BEST BIO TEACHER FOR 1010 hands down!! Helps you out ALOT!! Test are Easy if you study the powerpoints an she drops ur lowest!! You actually get interested!! You have to Be EXTREMELY lazy to get lower than C in this Class!
she's a good teacher but you have to be willing to put time into studying bcuz the wrk myt b a lil overwhelming at times but once u study and stay on top of things u should be ok!. but she can drive somebody crazy bcuz she likes to give work but she's also helpful
Aw man best Bio teacher evr.. she is genuinely interested in your success, if you show interest.. Accent kinda thick but not too bad she tires to speak slowly so you can understand.. You will nd a txtbook for her though cause she like quizzes.. but at the end of the day I actually retained info.. so SHOUTS OUT TO YOU O!!!!
Professor O can be really nice when she wants to . If the whole class gets a bad grade on a test, she might offer extra credit. She is on point with masteringbiology so make sure you have running internet connection. No matter how hard she Is i always remember certain information due to her analogies and jokes.

THIS TEACH IS VERY HELPFUL. YOU DONT HAVE TO COME TO CLASS BUT IT WILL HELP YOU GREATLY IF YOU DO. YOU DONT HAVE TO TAKE THE FINAL IF YOU HAVE AN A IN THE CLASS BEFORE THE FINAL EXAM. SHE GIVES 5 TEST BEFORE THE FINAL AND SHE TAKES OUT YOUR LOWEST GRADE. JUST LISTEN TO THE POWERPOINT LECTURE AND DO THE STUDY GUIDES AND YOUR PROMISED AN A OR B
u must go to class! plain and simple. her test are verbatim her lectures! and she's easy to follow. now she tends to do mastering biology which she barely gives hw on but it counts as extra credit ao do it! all together shes a good teacher and ask plenty questions!!
THIS CLASS WASNT AS HARD AS I THOUGHT WE HAD JUST ABOUT 5 OR 6 TESTS. SHE DROPPED THE LOWEST SCORE THEN WE HAD TO MASTERINGBIOLOGY.COM ONLINE. BUT OTHER THAN THAT THE CLASS ISN'T HARD JUST STUDY THE STUDY GUIDE & YOU SHOULD BE FINE.
Professor O may seem hard at first, but in the end she wants u to pass. I've never studied so much for one class. It will only help u tho. MasteringBiology isn't mandatory but it helps b/c its extra credit. Some test are hard & some are easy...if u study her lectures you'll be ok. Just do what she tells u, period. Not bad at all.
Dr. O is the best teacher ever. Test are easy. Same thing as the study guides she give you. We have quizzes that are easy as well, but not a lot. I would definitely take her!!!!
Dr. O taught me so much about biology. Prior to her class, I hated science. She made it clear and interesting. She is very lenient and wants her students to pass. I passed with an "A" and I REALLY hated bio.
aLL I HAVE TO SAY IS THAT SHE IS HARD..i HAD TO JUST DROP HER CLASS. FOR SOME ODD REASON SHE HAD A REALLY BAD ATTITUDE WITH ME.. hATED HER CLASS
She Seems hard at first but just study. If you looking for someone to just give you a easy A dont take her cause she make you learn the info if want to pass just study. personally she is one of the best Bio Teachers at FAMU
She is a great teacher i had her for both lecture and lab. She is a cool person who ties in jokes into her lectures at times. study her powerpoints and notes and read the chapters and you will pass each test.
Dr.O may seem like a **** at first but she is really caring and a good professor. She jokes around every now-and-then. She teaches you a lot and helps you a lot. She does a lot of pop quizes,which help and are easy. She pushes you to do better and you rarely find professor out there like her
I did absolutely NOTHING in this class. got between a 58-68 on ALL exams! like %110 with MasteringBiology assignments.She takes attendance at the beginning of semester.Just got done with this class, thought i would fail or get a D but Yayy i have a C, shouldnt b happy but better than a D, lol. She seems like a b* but is cool
Prof.O has an accent that can be sometimes hard to understand but she is very informative and ties in jokes with the lectures for students to understand.This isnt an easy A but if you study and do all masteringbio you will get an A...I got a B even though I didnt do all my masteringbio. Study notes &lectures!

Dr. Odewumi's class is of her own environment, based off of her rules, guidelines and so on. She is very stern at times, but she means well. If you do the work, you will earn the grade. She has a sense of humor also. All in all, I enjoy her class and I'm taking her for BSC 1010. I received a B for this course
I love her she motivates you with pep talks to pass her class. She geniunely cares about her students but she will fail you! Read the chapters before class & all online work, go to her office hours, do well on the practice tests b/c it might be the same version as the real test. She has a nice personality and explains things thoroughly despite her
she really does care about her students and has good intentions but she is very unnecessary and lectures too much you will pass if you attend EVERY class and STUDY STUDY STUDY!!! textbooks is a must
I wouldn't recommend anyone to take this professor. She's HARD and has a BAD attitude.
SHE IS A GREAT TEACHER. SHE BREAKS IT DOWN AND DOES OFFER EXTRA HELP IF YOU ASK. JUST DO THE NOTES AND ATTEND CLASS AND YOU CAN PASS HER CLASS...SHE CARES ABOUT HER STUDENTS...I RECOMMEND HER
She is a dynamic teacher. STUDY HER POWER POINTS AND PRACTICE TEST. SOMETIMES SHE WILL USE MOST OF THE QUESTION FROM THERE. SHE A LITTLE SLICK OUT THE MOUTH BUT IN A GOOD FUNNY WAY. THE BOOK IS A MUST. SHE BELIEVES IN HER STUDENTS SO IF YOU WANT AN A TAKE HER CLASS. SHE DROP THE LOWEST TEST GRADE!!!!
Very funny lady, but you will have to study! her class moves at a very fast pace and you have to keep up! 90% of the time I was studying, it was for this class, but it paid off in the end.I got an A so its not impossible, but you will have to study and buy the book.She makes bio very interesting to learn, and she is a really cool teacher!!!
This class is of course very interesting and Dr. O can be very funny at times, but she takes her class seriously. She is a true teacher and I thank her for that. If you want to really learn in a great environment take her. She gives you everything you need to pass.
no science class is easy, but you will pass if you put effort. do her extra credit and youll get atleast a C if you failed majority of her tests. if you study you do GREAT just pay attention
great Teacher. she knows her information and if you show up to every class, print out your notes even before you show up, and listen to her. I guarantee you will pass. I got an A.
She is a good teacher but the class is not easy..but she WILL look out for you in the end!
EXTREMELY Knowledgeable. Very helpful. Always available to assist students. The tests reflect the study guides. Has the best interest of the student in mind.
She was rude! She tried to tell me how to dress, ummmmm, hunny boo boo, I'm grown! But other than that it was an easy lab class. I do recommend for you to take her.
Great Instructor!! She really knows her stuff and is very interested in helping you to learn the material. A very sweet lady once you get to know her, but please be respectful and at least try to put in an effort. She's always willing to help during class or office hours.
EASY TEACHER!!! Couldnt be easier. Multiple Choice tests. Study Guide online. Goes over notes. The only negative thing is shes sometimes hard to understand because of her african Accent. Got an A in the class with minimum effort. TAKE HER
Wonderful teacher she will help you pass there is no way you can go into this class and fail she pushes everyone and will make sure you pass her classes with the best possible grade
Animal behavior is an interesting class, however Dr.O makes the class harder than it needs to be, changing the syllabus on a whim. Study for the everyday quizzes they are extra credit and she does do 1 take home test and drop your lowest test grade!
I love Dr. Odewumi. I took her for both Lab and Lecture and she is awesome. She takes her class seriously but it is super easy. If you READ then you will pass. I would recommend the book but she also has notes online. Her tests are very straight forward and if you pay attention in class, you will PASS all your tests. She is also very helpful!!
I love Dr.O! She's extremely helpful and very pleasant. Her exams are really easy if you use her use her study guides. She really forms a bond with her students and is willing to help you pass. You will enjoy taking her class and you will really learn without realizing it. TAKE HER!
You HAVE to take her class if youre taking BSC 1010. PERIOD! Her study guides ARE THE TEST!!! She gives a BUNCH of EC opportunities. I also took her for lab, that is the EASIEST CLASS EVER! Dont be a fool, take her class!!! You have to read and take notes, but if you do; its easy af!
She is great! She really cares about her students. My class do horrible on two test and she let us do a at home re-take. She is a really good teacher, if you don't like bio after you take her you will. At first she comes off a little bossy, but she really is only trying to see her students pass. TAKE HER!
professor Odewumi is an excellent teacher. You will need the book and have to study. she provides study guides and mastering bio helps a lot. you can always go to her lab for help. she does her best to make sure that everyone understands the lecture. this is also biology so attendance is a must. i heard ton of people complain why they don't try
One of the easiest and straight up teachers at FAMU. Take her
Took her for animal behavior. Often, she gives the test first, then gives you a chance to go back and find the answers with page in the book and slide number if the whole class fails. Final exam are the same questions from the test, and she gives the answers to all exams at the end. Lectures are boring, and her grammar is horrible, but she's okay.
I took her for BSC 1005, and I love the class; she is very serious about her job and will make sure you pass at any cost. She gives you the test to study for the study guide, so as long as you study them you will be fine. Read before you go to class and she asks questions for extra credit. She has a very thick accent but she will repeat.
Her test are what she teach. We did not use the book. She teaches off the book power point slides. SHe gives you a study guide for each test. Overall she's a C grade teacher
She is straight forward on what she teaches but if you fall behind you're going to stay behind until the next unit. Make sure that you go to class but before you do read the chapter in the book and the powerpoints that she posts online. She drops your lowest test grade at the end of the semester, but there will be a few low ones, so just be warned.
GREAT TEACHER ! I learned nothing in previous science classes. Im a freshmen and she has helped tremendously with my study habits! she gives reviews that are 90% of the test. Quiz everyday, but they dont really count toward anything,more for roll. Love her but you'll work for your A
Miss O is the Best Science professor. On the first exam I made a 68 second 73 A and still passed the class with a 90% She Gives you numerous Chances to Redeem yourself and Work hard for the Grade, that you want . She is also very inpirational & beyond helpful so If you fail or Drop Her class just leave College all together. And I'm not joking
This is an A! class. Take her one of the best professors, she wants you to pass and become something in the future. Very tough on lecturing you because she cares so much but she gives so much opportunities for you to get an A
You have to read the book on your own. Only thing positive about this teacher is she barely do attendance.
I had her for Biology 105 and 1010. At the beginning, she starts with her pop quiz. She go over her power point in class, you'll need to read, b4 you come to class, cause she'll ask questions and she gives extra credit if you answer her questions. Make sure you do good in the first and second exam. she is a good teacher take her.
I highly recommend you take SOMEONE ELSE! After reading her reviews and taking her class I'm convinced she pays people to give her good feedback.
Don't take her class if you're lazy because you will not pass. Odewumi is a fair teacher if she sees you're actually trying and not just doing the bare minimum she'll work with you for an A. it helps if you are prepared BEFORE class and on tests you're able to ask questions so that's cool. BUT she's kind of strict, no bathroom breaks and no phones
ONLY way you'll pass is if your class works together ... Start a group me with everyone who is taking that class and help each other out..
This class is definitely not an easy A, B, or C ! You have to study hard for the test. If you're the type of person that doesn't like to speak up in class then you won't get any extra credit. If you're good with time management and not lazy, go for it.... oh and she gave a test the Tuesday right after thanksgiving break.
She is a good instructor take her !!!
I took her for Biology 1 lecture and Lab. I got an A in both, she's an amazing teacher and really wants her students to learn. As long as you put in effort, he class is easy to pass.
Dr O is a true believer in second chances! Not only does she gives extra credit, but she also drops the lowest test grade, opens up homework assignments that some students failed to complete, gives you back all of your old test and then gives you a redemption test with the same questions on it to replace your second lowest test grade.
Odewumi does assign homework, so be sure to do them. I was struggled the first two tests but I got my act together. Read and do those packets on blackboard. It'll surely help in the long run. She wants the best for her students, go to her office hours and show that your trying. MANY extra credit opportunities. Best BIOLOGY TEACHER!!!
I almost drop this class the first week of school and I'm glad i didn't. Dr. Odewumi means business, be ready to work and read a lot. She gives many opportunities to redeem your grade. She can be slick in the mouth at times but also funny. She's a cool teacher but the class is not easy if you slack off.
EASY A Take HER. She may seem challenging at first but she's not. She really cares for her students, she just has a difficult way of showing it. Study her study guides and you'll be fine(they're exactly like the test).Plus she gives out a ton of extra credit. Beware of her pop-quizzes though,she loves to give them out. She drops lowest scores also
She gives pop quizzes everyday but towards the ends she stops. Once i mastered that if you study the study guides on blackboard you'll and I did. I made a A in the class and a 98 on her final. She gives plenty of chances to improve your grade. I didnt buy the book but I had to buy the mastering bio for online assignments.
Very difficult to understand at times. Test are nothing like the study guide. You basically need to read the textbook to pass the class. I'd recommend taking a different professor for this course.
Very nice and funny. She gives extra credit every day. Her class is straight forward, she tells you everything that is on the test and goes over it in class, attendance is not mandatory. I would take her 10x again !
Ms. O will make sure you pass with a B. there are multiple opportunities to get extra credit and bring your grade up and she drops your lowest test grade but you have to read the chapters and pay attention in class. miss one class for get it for the unit!
Professor O test are nothing like her power-point. she gives a practice quiz she add those questions on there then there will be about 20-30 extra you don't know. I wouldn't recommend her , she must've paid someone to do her ratings.
Proffesor O, will stress you out through the whole semester in the end she is very helpful
If you come to class, pay attention, and read your textbook you should get an A. She explains the content well. She drops your lowest test grade and allows you to do a make-up test. She doesn't want anyone to fail and looks out for her students. And her study guides help with the tests.
I wouldn't reccomend her she's very difficult and PowerPoint's are nothing like her test
I took this by accident, I was suppose to take BCS 1005. All i can really say if GO TO HER OFFICE! She is willing to help you if you want it. Its a lot of self reading and all she does is lecture and have you take notes. She uses the random quizzes as extra credit and will use the only your best 5 exams to get your class grade.
This class is not an easy A! You have to read before class and do the practice exams on Blackboard. Their are plenty of extra credit opportunities you just have to stay on top of the work. Study hard for the exams she gives a majority of the answers in Powerpoints & Practice exams. Study hard and go to her office hours & you will pass !
YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS CLASS! That being said Dr.O does make you work for your grade, you will have to study. (She gives notes in class and on blackboard but sometimes on test a few questions will be strictly from the book.) She gives extra credit quizzes and gets easier towards the end. Go to her office and let her get to know you she really cares
Read a lot! It will help get an A in the course. Aside from that, she is a great professor, and a no nonsense professor as well. If you need extra help outside of the lecture go see her; it will be worth the effort because she will help you.
Dr. O is one of the most caring professors that I've had a FAMU. But, her class can be difficult if you don't stay on top of your work. All her tests come with a study guide and she drops the lowest test grade and gives an exam to replace your second lowest score. Just read the chapter, and go to her office hours!!!!!
She drops the lowest test grade and gives a make-up exam to replace your second lowest test grade. MAKE SURE YOU STUDY and do well on exams because that is basically your overall grade. There are mastering biology assignments online.. about 2-3 for each chapter.
Dr. Odewumi is a very great professor. She is the best professor I had this spring. Your grade comes directly from your exam and homework assignments. She give you plenty of chances to do your online homework assignments. All of her exams come with study guides. DO THEM!! They are exactly what the exam will be. She drops your lowest exam grade
GREAT PROFESSOR! Do the study guides & pay attention in class, she gives all the answers in class. Take her!
BEST BIO PROF EVER. Read before you go to class. ask questions. go to her office. and listen. if she says do something do it even if she says she wont collect it. would take her for every class if possible. not easy A but its nearly impossible to fail if you do what she says.
Her class is easy to pass if you study her PowerPoints and attend her lectures. Take notes before you arrive to class or you will be confused in class. She takes following directions seriously and will take 20 points off your test grade for not following directions. For every test she posts study guides which are exactly like the test so do them.
Listen, shes a good professor. She puts on an act but in reality if you do what youre suppose to you will definitely pass. She post study guides for every exams which are exactly like the exam, DO STUDY THEM in addition to the book. Make sure to do Mastering Biology. Also DONT I repeat dont cheat in this lady class she will -90 from your exam
Dr. O was somewhat hard but manageable . If I applied myself to the class more and knew what to expect I could've done way better. She tells you everything you need to know in class . It's best if you go over the power points before the lectures and she gives pop quizzes from time to time. Tests are straight forward, no surprises. Would take again.
Make sure you read before you come to class. The tests are 90% of your grade and your grade reflects on those tests. There will be a makeup exam and a final, and she will drop your lowest test grade at the end. Overall, it was a good semester with her, and i wish i could've done better. Don't cheat in her class because off the bat that's minus 90.
best bio professor ever. this class is not a cake walk, youmust apply yourself but she will help you along the way. love her very much
Yall cappin in these comments. Odewumi really doesnt care for her students. She lectures, give tests, and pop quizzes. I passed though cause I had answers from previous classes
Shes manageable. Definitely not an easy A or B. You got to study hard every week. The study guides arent mandatory but DO THEM to pass the tests and do MasteringBio. Also answer questions in her class for extra credit.
Dr. O is okay. Just take notes on the PowerPoint and you should do fine
Shes a good teacher . Take notes from the PowerPoint and buy mastering biology and youll be okay . Shes all talk but really a sweetheart. Those daily pop quizzes dont matter either
Professor is caring.
You need to readI dont care if your friends have you the tests from the previous semester. Understand what shes talking aboutthats all she asksyoull do great. You need to read to get an A. Her teaching methods are essential for proper studying: apply them to your studying mechanism. Take her.
She is the best science teacher I've ever had. Although her class isn't an easy A, it's a straightforward class. All you have to do is copy the pps before class and add to them when she lectures, read through chapters, and study. The tests aren't hard unless you do nothing to learn the material. I 10/10 recommend taking her.
She is an amazing professor. If you pay attention and do everything she say do, you will pass her class. She is the BEST and I highly recommend her for any students. You want to participate as much as you can. Them extra credit points add up. She is a straight forward professor and hilarious. Take her if you really want to learn Biology.
This class isnt an easy A, but it is passable. Studying is a major part because of how much information you have to remember for her tests but she gives chances to save your grade. Take every opportunity she gives you to help your grade. She has very good lectures that are understandable. Study, go to her office, come to class, take notes.
Do NOT take this lady. Her class is super hard and she grades hard on everything
Professor Odewumi tries to make lectures interesting and relatable. Prior to taking her, Ive never understood biology. I would recommend her. Just study, do your assignments and you will pass.
Great Bio Prof.
All the test are pretty straight forward and easy. Read the syllabus. Do all your assignment's and study. You should be fine.
This class was mainly tests and quizzes in class. Study guides and practice tests are the exam same as the actual tests. The textbook and class notes will help you understand the material and Dr. Odewumi was really helpful. She helps if you want to be helped. Class isn't an easy A but if you're a non-STEM major and try enough, you can get a B.
TAKE HER!! Read before class and take notes, also do her study guides because they are exactly like the test. I got an A after all the extra credit, I definitely recommend her!
there are soo many notes, but she makes sure you know everything that is going to be on the test. there are a lot of tests and they are like 60 questions multiple choice. she's so funny and she drops your two lowest test grades. if you put in the work, there is no reason you should fail.
She is very strict. She does not play about that syllabus and the school policy. But I promise she is the best teacher. We only do test and mastering biology. The quizzes are extra credit. She makes biology funny with. Don't take this class if you aren't gonna do the study guides for every chapter because the study guide is the test verbatim.
She gives many chances, tests are the study guide, go to office hours she seems tough but she's really caring and will work with you if you show effort
She was by far the worst professor I EVER HAD so far going to FAMU. I failed her class and the grade that I got isn't even right. How do I get an F in the class but I got an A on the Online portion? She is not understanding at all and her accent is so thick you barely understand what she's saying. DO NOT TAKE HER AS A BIO PROFESSOR!!!!!!
Dr. Odewumi has a thick accent! PLEASE read the book and review her powerpoints! This class was very challenging. If you don't read you won't pass! DONT cheat because she will eventually catch you. Overall she is an amazing professor you just have to put in work to pass!!
Take her ! She gives a lot of extra credit ! I didnt pass 3 test out of 5 and still ended the class with an A. To pass test you have to be willing to actually study and read. However, she will give you plenty of chances to fix your grade.
She may seem really difficult for the first few classes because she wants to give the image that she doesn't play, however throughout the class you'll warm up to her. She's very understanding and is hard on you because she honestly wants you to pass. Don't get discouraged from failing a quiz or test, her extra credit really comes in handy.
This class isnt even that hard if you study. BUT, odewumi is so rude and does not care about her students. She is so strict for no reason , when we are paying for OUR education. She doesnt care if her students pass or fail . DO NOT take her. She is unreasonable and very stubborn.
If youre not willing to OVERWORK yourself and play her game you will not pass. There are quizzes almost every class for the first half of the semester. Class average was a 50% by the 5th exam. 6 exams + a final, mathlabs, and pop quizzes. I would not recommend taking her if youre not a science major.
Just utilize the internet.... and you should be fine.
This class is very easy. Despite all the things other people say. I failed 3 out of 5 test and i still passed with an A. she give so many extra credit opportunities throughout the semester. If you come to class, you will be OKAY!
TAKE HER !!!! At first shes gonna seem very strict but that is a good thing . Shes not one of those professors that tell you one thing and do another . Follow her rubric do what she say and youll pass . Dont listen to the people that says shes hard she is NOT . However, you have to put in the work and youll get an A like me. Do extra credit !
Shes a GOOD professor, YOU MUST STUDY TO PASS THIS COURSE ... all the answers are in the packets or PowerPoint, if she tell you to do those packets do it THOSE WILL BE THE TEST, pass her class with B
Dr. Odewumi is a really nice and funny professor but she is tough! You have to put in the work and show her you care about your grade go to tutorial, office hours, exam reviews, and do ALL extra credit and you will be fine. Get ready to read and the packets are similar to the exam. I passed 2 out of 5 test and got a B in her class.
If you know you are a LAZY person don't take her class. This is a very TEST HEAVY class so if you know that you will never study or read the material outside of class I would advise you to chose another professor. Odewumi is a very nice professor but you have to earn your grade in her class PERIOD POINT BLANK!!!!
It was a lot of work and I went to tutoring three times a week so I could pass her test. She makes you do extra work for no reason. She has pop quizzes but they are really extra credit. If you work for your grade you will pass.
tests are 90% of your grade & she drops the lowest test grade. she will make you WORK for your grade but she offers a lot of extra credit. if youre lazy dont take her. her practice assignments are the test so study that. i finished with an A
Odewumi is a tough professor! Definitely would not take her again.
Everyone in the comments is CAP. She does not care if you pass or fail, she gives a whole bunch of work and it is as if she's trying to make it hard on you so you DON'T pass. She thinks you're only taking her class and no one else's.
This class was BEYOND stressful. Reading is crucial because she loves pop quizzes. Taking notes is important because sometimes what you read is not on the test. Honestly don't take this class because you will be STRESSED OUT. The book is mandatory. Attendance is apart of your grade . Don't cheat on the test she will kill your grade DON'T TAKE HER!!
Overall she is a great professor, she wants you to learn and so she tries to quiz you regularly to make sure you're learning. The class is fairly easy. Attend the study sessions with Will and you'll be fine. Participate and make sure she knows your name.
I was stressed this whole semester because of this one class. Her exams counts as 90% of your grade. Studying/taking notes/reading before class is essential. But in the end all the extra credit she gave for participation and doing all my mastering assignments landed me an high B in her class. Dont take her class if you want an easy A.
Very lecture heavy & reads the powerpoint 99% of the time. She dances around topic questions & doesnt really help. Shes very all over the place with assignments and is very wishy washy. The only good thing about her is that theres lot of extra credit and the study guides and the tests are pretty much the same. And she offers test corrections.
Professor Odewumi is beyond what Famu needs as a teacher. After passing her class, you will remember how to spell her name. She pushes you to do better and relate some of the things she teaches in class to your personal life. She gives you ample time to pass her class. She treats everyone as though they are her own.
She's great if you get on her good side, but just be warned, her class is lecture heavy and you will have to read before her class, HW for every chapter on Mylabs and Mastering. She will randomly call on people and it will count as a participation point. She has this humor that only a few will understand, I didn't like it too much tho.
Not the best Professor to me, a lot of times we had to teach ourselves the material. She has a few thick accent so keep that in mind. We had quizzes & tests pretty regularly but if you read the material they arent too terribly hard (Socratic helps too haha). At the end of semester she does drop your lowest test grade though.
She started off terribly but she did reopen the homework assignments at the end of the quarter. She is very rude and wants you to always have your camera on but you can still pass.
Dont believe the bad reviews, shes a professor that cares and tries to help the best she can . Work wasnt hard. Mostly mylab and mastering biology . Test are easy if you pay attention. Most questions for the test are in the study guides and on mastering biology
Was not considerate of students during a pandemic/online school. She spent 1/4 of our 2 hour long class checking for students who didnt have their cameras on an would kick them out of class many times would stop lecturing to do this. Came to class late or was on a phone when class would start. Tests are 90% of your grade. Doesnt respond to emails
Professor Odewumi is heavy on lectures. Sometimes, class wouldnt start until 45 minutes in due to her taking attendance If your camera is not on, you will be kicked out. Overall, she teaches good. A lot of times she wont finish covering the material before the tests. She is very hard to reach outside of class. She doesnt respond to email.
Odewumi is great. If you're looking for a professor who won't prepare you or teach you, don't take her. She truly enjoys teaching and wants you to learn. Make sure you read ahead so you can answer questions during the lecture and get extra credit (the points help a lot). She drops two of your lowest tests and there is a final. She is truly amazing!
Im not gonna lie her class had me stressing the whole semester and lectures and reading dont really help with exams she the worst avoid her at all cost
she doesnt really listen to her students much and is very particular about cameras and paying attention. only take her if you have the patience to deal w her.
Caroline Odewumi is a character!!! Honestly, they gone tell you not to take her, but she not that bad tbh. Now, I will say she's VERY unorganized; especially at the end of the semester. When she yells, " WRITE THIS QUESTION DOWN", and says a statement... WRITE IT DOWN!! As long as you go to class and take notes, you'll do fine. Also, she gives E.C.
Very test heavy, must read textbook and take good notes to pass
I love her, I literally took this class so I could have her again, to be she's such a caring teacher and really wants her students to learn. Don't get me wrong, she's hard as hell and really expects you to learn and know the material before class, if you answer her questions in class you get extra credit points towards the tests. I enjoy her
She is a very worrisome professor. If you do all her mcgraw-hill (which are easy) then the class is a breeze. She sprung a group project on us that was half our grade and gave no real help on how to complete it. She also miscalculated my grade and when told she blamed mcgraw-hill.
Cameras are required in a class, and attendance is mandatory even though you don't get a grade for it. Has a lab report as a group project at the end of the semester with very unclear instructions. She does give good feedback. You'll pass if you mainly do the homework on McGraw.
If youre not a biology major, DONT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! Shes one of those professors that think you dont have any other class or a life outside of her class. She will give random quizzes and exams even if she didnt cover all the material. If you have to take this class, to pass youll need to go the extra mile and get tutoring outside of her
English isnt her first language so there is a language barrier and she also doesnt like to be wrong. She wont really explain things until its all late. Test are hard if you dont read the book, go over her lectures, do homework, study guide, and things she post. (She said she pulls info from ALL things so you have to go over ALL the material)
Dont take her unless you have to. She makes mistakes and then blames it on the class not listening. Takes 20 points off anything that she grades that isnt labeled exactly how she wants it.
dont take her lolliterally takes 20 points off your entire test grade if you spell her name wrong.
you have to work hard for your grade and she takes points of a test for stupid things. But she come in clutch with extra credit towards the end of the semester. but she should be your last option for a bio professor.
Loves to assert dominance over her classes and is tough. Takes off 20 points on tests for petty stuff like misspelling her name lol. If you do exactly what she asks you should be fine honestly she isn't as bad as people make her seem Also gives plenty extra credit opportunities
It stated off rocky with Dr. Odewumi, but she eventually came around. She is a good professor, but you will not pass her class without studying outside of class. She drops the lowest exam also which comes in very handy. I learned a lot of new things in her class.
Dr. Odewumi doesn't play around. On day 1, she will show how tough she can get. She starts to be more personal after a few classes and offers/gives extra credit. She loves class participation. If you, like me, are not a STEM major, then you either MUST study outside of class or find another class. This WILL NOT be an easy class if you don't study.
I can honestly say she came around towards the end of the semester with extra credit and she drop your lowest test grade. She has a heavy accent but after a few classes you start to understand what she is saying. She is not as bad as they say.
Dr. Odewumi is not a very understanding person and is not the type to meet you halfway on anything. If she says the test is in class she wont change that no matter what your reason is. You will have pop quizzes. She's very arrogant, inconsiderate and rude. Would not recommend her at all
I love odewumi, this is my third time taking her, she is hard and expects you to learn the material but she also gives out pop quizzes throughout the semester that will be used as extra credit at the end. sometimes she also gives out extra credit during the lecture to see who has read, don't take this class if you aren't prepared to study.
she is very unorganized, she doesn't meet up half way, if you spell her name wrong on a test she will take off 20 points, she said she gives out extra credit but to be honest it doesn't really do anything for your grade. DO NOT TAKE HER UNLESS YOURE PREPARED TO CRY AND LOSE SLEEP
Overly strict. Calls you out & puts you on the spot for the smallest things (ex. trying to get a tissue). A lot of teaching yourself, expects you to have read the chapter before she starts teaching it. ONLY lectures so u have to keep up with her speaking while taking notes entire time. Not understanding of students AT ALL. Time for her to retire.
DO NOT take this professor. She is very contradictory and will leave you feeling confused. She lectures the entire class period and if you want help outside of class, tutoring is the only way to get it. She does not respond to emails. She does not tell you your grade until the end of the semester. Unless you are a biology major, switch professors!
This lady about as petty as they come. I'm glad it was online & I didn't have to hear her mouth every week. This online class is simple, do the labs, take the quizzes, & pass your exams! Managed to get out of there w/ a B but don't fall behind or you might as well withdraw. She has terrible communication skills. She doesn't round so don't ask...
She needs to either retire or alter her teaching methods. Moreso she needs to alter the way she communicates with students. She's an insolent individual. She needs to understand that by throwing a textbook & lab work towards the students is not going to work effectively unless you teach the material for students to understand. I made it out w/ a B.
She communicates with students so rudely. She expects students to retain large amounts of information weekly.We didn't know our grade until she posted the final grade because the grades remained locked. There isn't enough characters to express this course.I AM GLAD THAT IT IS OVER!
She doesnt respond to emails & makes it seem like when you ask her a question, its a problem. Shes very rude & unorganized. She also doesnt teach well, curve grades, give extra credit, or help at all. The work load was also far too much & they were all time consuming. We took 7 exams this semester. If you can avoid this professor please do!
Professor Odewumi was a rough teacher. She was lecture heavy and very disrespectful. I failed every exam but she was a heavy curver at the end of the semester and that is how i passed. To pass this class please attend ALL office hours, bio lab, and study outside of class. She also does not answer emails. If you can avoid this professor avoid her
The other reviews are a little dramatic. Professor wasn't that bad I mean yes the work load was very heavy and she never answered emails, and lied about dropping an exam and added on work that wasn't on the syllabus and we had 7 Exams all 50-100 questions, but do the easy hw and pace yourself you will be fine in the class.
Dr. Odewumi can come off as very strict & uptight, but I honestly think it's just a cultural thing. I didn't like her at first, the lectures were hard to keep up with, but as soon as I started attending her office hours and actually STUDYing after class it got better. The more effort she sees you putting in the more she'll be willing to help you.
This lady should not be a professor! Her Exams are completely unreasonable and requires you to pretty much memorize the textbook word for word. You will have to teach yourself because she only briefly covers most concepts and will refer you to videos. Her attitude towards students and choice of wording is very rude. Avoid her class by any means
Some of the other reviews are dramatized. If you end up taking this professor, some things I would recommend: Answer questions in class (you will receive extra credit at the end of the semester) Go to her office hours EVERY DAY!! (this will result in forming a good relationship, she will actually seem like a human and help you when you show care.
The homework isn't bad and all of it is available on quizlet. There are 7 major tests (including the make-up which is mandatory) but she drops the 2 lowest grades. Pay attention in her lectures because they really do help with understanding the powerpoints. She is really intimidating, but will answer the questions you have!
Professor Odewumi runs a tough class, but if you stay engaged and utilize resources like Unstuckstudy ai, you can succeed. Attend all classes, do the readings, and be prepared to participate - it's worth the effort.
She's not hard to past but she can be a intimidating teacher. She really do want students to past her class but you have to put the work in. Use her notes and STUDY!! She's big on academic integrity too.
If you are ok with teaching yourself I say take her class. You can earn extra credit points for answering questions in class or through her two extra credit make ups. The exams are worth 80% of your grade and everything else is 10%. You have to read the chapters before class because she pretty much just does a review in class.
Not the best bio teacher but not the worst her class isn't necessarily hard but her testing policies are and she will take off 20 points for simple mistakes. No phones in lecture or leaving, towards the end of the year she gave online tests which boosted my Grade and she drops lowest test score, but you can get a good grade by studying.
Professor Dr. Odewumi is great. She may come off as strict, but you can tell she wants the best for her students. Make sure to complete extra. credit assignments, be familiar with lecture material before class, and go to her office hours when you need extra help. Definitely develop strong study habits before taking this course.
I enjoyed her class! Her accent is clear, and she repeats herself if needed. Attending is key—she gives test answers in lectures. Her Canvas videos are long but helpful. She drops the lowest test grade, reopens missed homework, and offers extra credit. She's strict on instructions but fair.
Honestly, in the beginning of the semester I thought her class was going to be hard. However I learned that if I just pay attention and take notes I would pass. She's really nice but can be snappy at times. If you study, take notes, ask for help you'll be fine.
Please do not take this class unless necessary. She is not accessible outside of class and comes across very disrespectful. You can only look at quizzes for studying, tests don' t open until right before final exam time. If it were not for her curving heavy she would not be here. If your major has nothing to do with science don't take this!
