Although her tests are hard, she grades on a curve and give an adequate amount of extra credit. Most of the time, te average score for the class on her exams are like between 30 and 40%. I have failed all my tests, did all my labs and assignments, and did extra credit and STILL got a B!

I cannot say that Dr. Case is an easy teacher but you do learn and you work for whatever grade you get in her class. She is fair and she makes you work. She is a great advisor and takes interest in her students.

I liked the lectures in this class-they were interesting and kept me awake. However, the tests are impossible. For the most part, the material covered is not in the book or in the lecture material. She grades on a curve, so it's totally possible to pass. Still,when your getting 60's on the test you have to wonder, "did I reallyh learn anything?

Dr. Case will bend over backwards for her students. You just need to ask.

Dr. Case is awesome! You people are just overreacting. She was very helpful and had approachable. Her lectures were hard but not too hard if you were paying close attention like you should be doing. Studying micro was real interesting especially being taught by one of the authors of the book.

Tough, but brilliant.

dr. case is a sweetheart if u are a respectful to her and and show that you are interested in the material. Though she's hard i still got an haha to all u people that are scared of an innocent teacher =)

She is very Nice and wants to help us learn, a little picky on labs, and her test are a little to hard, they don't really ask what we talked about in class, reading should not be everything, there needs to be some conversation about what was in the text.

Case is a wonderful source of all things biology related. She really likes when people ask questions (warning: she seems like she hates when you ask questions but she does like it) Her tests are VERY hard and the lecture is fast paced.

case is very sweet, passionate about bio, she is very helpful. make sure to always read the chapter ahead of class so you understand what the subject that she is discussing with the class.

Dr Case is a very nice person..really, she's fun and intersting to talk to, she just comes off a little mean sometimes. However, her class is really hard. Her lectures are great, but then you take the exam and you feel like you are in a totally different class...the questions just don't make any sense. Good Luck (at least she grades ona curve :)

A teacher that really knows what she's talking about. Though not the most helpful, she'll lead you in the right direction. Unless you're in a biology related major, try to avoid her as she generally teaches to a certain level of understanding. Be prepared coming to class and read the book and you should be fine. Tests make you think outside the box

You will learn a lot. She assumes you know some biology before you take her class (maybe from intro bio? i don't know). if you don't, it's not a big deal. no need for textbook. i never used it, but found out that it can be really helpful for lab reports. she's hard and sometimes snobby, but don't let her offend you. she really does care about her students

get to know her better and everything will be fine. seems mean at first but after a semester, she's really a great professor. has lots of awards so try and be on her side. tests may be hard but failing is not an option esp if u study and listen during lectures. be in her good side and she will rewaard u well.

Dr. Case is a wonderful professor, I am currently in her honors and lecture class. I love how she knows biology like the back of her hand, she is very knowledgeable in biology, she doesn't need notes or anything. The class is challenging, but if you review your notes everyday, you can get an A. I think you will enjoy Biology if you take her course.

I think studying the labs and lecture notes is key to get an A or B in the class. 75 is a B, shes quite generous. She is very smart and knows her stuff. Her tests are very hard, but, i learned a lot.

Enthusiastic, intelligent and very knowledgeable, this teacher has a passion for Microbiology and shares her knowlege with her students. I learned so much from her class. She is willing to answer any question you may have and will take time out to make sure you understand what you are doing in lab. If you do well in the lab, you will do well...

COME TO CLASS ON TIME, LISTEN DURING LECTURE AND READ THE BOOK. SHE IS VERY FAIR, DON'T BE LAZY THEN CRY ABOUT A POOR GRADE.

She comes off a little (understatement maybe?) mean, but deep down she is really kind hearted. There are a ton of old exams floating around that school with repeat questions so don't feel too bad about your test scores. If you are a dedicated student and want a biology related degree, you should stick to her. She will really help you if you let her

215/230 with case. VERY interesting facts during lecture but doesnt really relate to test material. she curves like hella. hard A, easy B. writes fantastic recommendations. got into every internship =) she has alot of power in the school & science field. volunteer for EYH, it'll pay off later. tests are multiple choice, not hard to "check ur ans"

This teacher is very hard to approach but won't bite you so don't be afraid of her. I took her biology 230 class and received an A. She may seem mean at first but this will change as the semester goes. Some people in here have said that her tests were the same as previous tests? well becareful with this people say because because her tests were ext

dont know what you guys talking about. she's beyond awesome. luv her to bits. just suck it up and stop whining. think this is hard, wait till u transfer.

In the end, I learned a lot and was grateful to have taken her, but it was a very hard class. I got a C but I felt like I accumulated an A's worth of info. The tests are super hard and tricky but if you attend lab regularly and put in all the effort there, you will pass her class. I also participated, which may have helped.

This chick is great! Best class I've ever had. Like everyone has mentioned earlier, hard test but SHE GIVE YOU A SECOND CHANCE. The labs will carry you. Theyre easy and fun. The teach has a sarcastic personality that I totally LOVE. She's comes off as arrogant but cant blame her. SHE WROTE THE BOOK. Give great lectures. Highly recommended

awesome professor. dont know what the bottom few guys are talking about. seriously if u feel that way ure obviously not putting in any effort. and shes not 79yrs old. just look at the number of outstanding students she produced with their research and achievements/scholarships. they all have publications now. u just dont know how to treasure her

This is one of the more difficult classes I've taken @ skyline, however one of the more interesting ones. Case's lectures are always fascinating however rarely relevant to the material on the tests. Reading is definitely mandatory and do the practice quizzes on her tests, the only two things that helped me pass.

I had her for Bio 215, 230 and 690. At first she seems really scary, but she softens up as the semester progresses, especially if you have lab with her. Like all bio classes, lab is mandatory so go to them, the labs are necessary to boost your grade. Tests are hard, need to read the book. She is a great teacher and has my respect.

Case's classes are some of the hardest classes i've taken in skyline. never ever skip a lecture because you'll be way behind once you do. she uses a lot of visuals but does not read off of the slides which is good! she's one of the best teachers i've had; really knows what she's talking about. you will learn a lot no matter what.

One of the hardest classes i've taken at Skyline. She structures it to be at a CSU/UC level to further prepare you when you transfer. It's going to take a lot of hard work, but put in the work and you'll come out just fine. My only complaint is although I love her lectures, many of them were irrelevant to the material on the test.

I've taken Dr. Case for Bio 230 and several semesters for the independent study BIO 690. She is a wonderful professor and will help you out a lot as long as she sees you trying. She is HARD and she will demand you to attend and pay attention BUT in the end, it will only benefit YOU.

She knows her material. she is well organized and her lectures help you understand how what you are learning applies to the real world - interesting. Helpful to those she see's making an effort. You will have to make an effort in this class. Read the book, and make use of other resources she recommends. Hard but fair. Love micro now!

She is the professor you want to take! She motivates and challenges you to learn through open ended questions. The way she teaches and structures her course will help you in your long term goals! She's an amazing professor. Wish she was teaching at college I will be transferring to.

She's awesome!. Best biology teacher I've ever had. I look forward to the lectures. The tests are all group tests, which is a pain, since everyone leeches answers off me, but otherwise, the class is great. I like the lectures more than the labs.

She is a challenging teacher but she does care for her students. If you ask her questions one on one she will answer or lead you towards the correct answer to make sure you understand the material. Highly recommend reading the book cause she gets test questions from the material in it. Don't be afraid to approach her!!

You will be thrown off by her tests but she is an easy grader. at first I felt really scared to approach her but you will find her super duper nice and helpful. She is really smart and high-leveled that sometimes you will feel like you cant catch up with what she is saying. But if you are a Bio major, I recommend you to take her class.

Her lectures are the best, she is very interesting and engaging, but the tests and grading is a little too hard. But if you read the book regularly you should be fine.

Mrs. Case really knows her stuff. Her lectures are great and sometimes hilarious as she is quite sarcastic. Tests are hard, but she curves. As long as you study (textbook&notes) and pay attention in class, you will do well. Take notes while in class. Super important. Best class ever and best teacher ever. Love her power points! Miss this class!! :(

Dr. Case knows her stuff. She makes the class really enjoyable. It's Biology. It's going to be interesting anyway. I suggest that you stay on top of your reading assignments. You will need it. Also, get used to working with others. There's going to be a lot of group assignments. I would definitely take a class that she is teaching again.

I took Dr. Case's Micro class when I was in the Respiratory Therapy Program. It was so long ago -- 1974 -- but I consider her to be among the few who really made a difference in my education. I can count on one hand the professors who inspired me and that's a sad commentary on our educational process. I will always remember her as the best!

Her lectures are absolutely AMAZING. She may seem intimidating at first, but her sarcastic nature and humor grows on you. Her exams are TOUGH; she actually makes you THINK instead of memorizing random facts. Curve is VERY generous though. I learned A LOT from her which will help in future biology classes. One of the best professors I ever took.

This professor makes you work really hard but the test is not really what's taught to you so you actually have to think about the answers. The second field trip is the worst and hardest to forget because you witness how fecal water turns to drinking water, and she teaches you wine making is similar to this. And she's actually right.

I took Bio 215, 230 and 695 with her. She's really a great professor who cares her students. Dr. Case was my mentor for two research projects. She's very helpful in responding all my emails and giving feedback on my works. Her lectures are awesome. Take good notes during lecture! Her tests are mostly based on lab and lecture.

Case is the sassiest teacher I have taken. Her lectures are disorganized, jumping from topic to topic and then back again, but they're always filled with interesting tidbits. She won't hold your hand through the course, and will make fun of you if you ask (but will help you out after). I always look forward to her class.

Dr. Case is the best teacher I ever had.I have learned so much in her class. The class is not easy you have put some effort. She looked intimidating at class, but very helpful during her office hours. She will love you if you take the research project seriously. Take notes read book and pay attention during lecture. Questions are based on lecture.

dr. case is one of the best professor at skyline. i took biol 215, & 230 twice since i failed due to family issues. she was always really understanding of my dad getting sick. go to office hours and NEVER be scared to ask for help no matter how intimidating she may seem esp during lab. i always felt so lost, but she only helps those who asks.

The class itself is rough, but if you read the textbook outside of class and take notes during class youll be fine. Lectures are not only helpful but riveting.

Professor Case is truly one of the most amazing professors I have had so far! She cares so much, and she is so passionate for what she does! The key to succeeding in this course is asking for help, and going to office hours. This is a hard course, as one would expect from a biology course, but it's incredibly fun, and I wish it was in person!

Opportunities to participate in research and extracurriculars that can boost your resume and networking = priceless at community college. Read in advance to understand concepts + listen/record/study lecture notes - they may not always overlap, but anything is fair game for exams. She provides a solid bio foundation IMO (current med student).

She a brilliant professor. Expects you to work and study hard. A fair grader. Definitely helps you in labs

She's a brilliant professor. Expect to work hard, but she'll help you in lab. unstuck AI was super useful for study prep.
