If I could put the opposite of caring, I would. This professor has no regard for how overwhelming classes can be online. If you have a heavy schedule AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Work in this class feels like busy work and is not worth your time at all.

Unclear grading criteria, she does not explain assignments. She also asks you to write notes for a grade and then judges your notes. Not only do you have to attend every class but if you don't email her 2 months in advance you will not be excused even if you have an excuse. If you have any sickness at all, postpone it because she does not care

She actually sucks and avoid her at all costs or you will actually want to drop out. so much work due every monday and also have to watch hour long movies that actually suck. DO NOT TAKE HER !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I took this 1 credit class for a my gen ed lab requirement, the grading is ridiculously hard for no reason. For a 1 credit class, you have to watch a lot of hour long videos for the weekly assignments and the grading for assignments is extremely harsh. I would not recommend this course if your trying to take it for a credit.

AVOID so horrible! Assignments are impossible, and hard! I asked to do a zoom meeting for help, and she accused me of not "listening" in class, and thats why I didn't know how to do the work, and basically told me it was my fault for not understanding. I have never cried so hard or felt stupider, just by asking for help! DON'T TAKE! save your TEARS

took this as a 1wk summer course and regretted it from day 1. you have to watch 1 45min lecture, take a quiz, and do an incredibly long and time consuming data interpretation and writing assignment DAILY. all of those together took me HOURS to complete daily. she is a horrible professor who expects way too much for a lab. DO. NOT. TAKE. HER!!!!

THIS CLASS IS DUMMY HARD FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON. 1 CRED GEN ED LAB REQ, DO NOT TAKE UNLESS YOU ENJOY WASTING YOUR TIME WATCHING HOUR-LONG VIDEOS ABOUT AIR SQUARED.

Get ready to watch and listen to water dry and wind blow for 7 weeks! If you need your melatonin for the day take a couple hours to listen to her lullaby. Sunday you better get your coffee cause you'll be spending your day teaching the class to yourself and trying to not go insane. Make sure your quiet on zoom or you'll get the raft. :) ;)

May makes Bio150L harder then it needs to be. She will speak you like you're a child. Also she may ignore your groups needs during lab and leave your questions unanswered. However if she likes your group she'll spend most of lab helping you out. She grades the essays very harshly while providing little feedback. DON'T TAKE HER!

She had favorites and if you were not one of them she would not help you in the slightest. She did not grade groups equally. Even if you use her feedback, go to office hours, and ask her loads of question, she will likely still give you a B. She is extremely condescending and treats you like a child. You will never get out early. Don't take her.

She was unable to answer questions and would just say read the manual. She spoke to me in a condescending and rude tone often. She graded things very harshly and offered little helpful feedback. She had favorites in the class who she would spend most of the class talking too instead of helping other groups. I do not recommend taking her at all.

Rude, condescending, refuses to help students. Not sure how she has a job at JMU because she is the complete opposite of everything JMU values. Thinks her 1 credit gen ed is more important than anything else. Threatened to fail me for missing one class for a family funeral.

Dropped her class after two sessions because of how rude she was. Expect to be shamed if, for any reason (including personal, work, or family), you ever have to miss part of or an entire class. Never have technical difficulties because they will always be your fault. And don't ask questions unless you want to feel stupid.

I enjoy the class, but be warned Dr. May shows ZERO empathy and is not very caring.

Do not take this class. She is so strict on policies and gives no lenience even if you are really sick and you can't make it to class. Will not let you make up assignments even if you are to physically sick to come to class. I got a 0 on a big assignment because of this. Also a lot of assignments that take me a long time to complete.

Very mean. Don't take her. Is so rude towards her students. Does not answer questions when you are confused. Thinks you should be punished for not going to class for being sick or going to a funeral. Won't let you make up work for classes you missed even if you have a valid reason. Lots of busy work that isn't hard but time consuming.

Save yourself, she is terrible and does not care about you or how well you do in the class, strictly on if she gets paid or not. Makes the material extremely difficult to understand and goes though each slide of notes in 2 seconds, doesn't post them either. Do the assignments because otherwise you'll fail because there is no way to pass her test.

STOP! This teacher does not care about you at all. Knowing that it's important. She doesn't slow down her lectures for anyone, will not let you correct your mistakes, will not give extra credit, sends rude emails. She will never treat you with respect. Do every assignment because the tests are near impossible because of the way she teaches.

I wish there was an option for a 0 star. So uncaring, I missed 2 classes this semester, one for my brothers wedding, my grade went down 5 points, and one because my car broke down, my grade went down 7 points. I'm most likely going to end with a D+ even though I actually put in effort. She does not care about your grade or you. Giant thumbs down.

Very passive aggressive, classes are hard to sit through and lectures and assignments lack clarity. Lots of busywork. Would not take this class or anything taught by her again

Horrible teacher! Did nothing but stupid filler assignments and random videos and was so strict for no reason.

The class itself isn't hard, but the workload is quiet a lot. We had multiple projects that didn't make sense on graphing. I went to her office hours to go over an assignment, and she was condescending the entire time. Also, instead of going over an assignment she made a dot graph about when people turned it in and what their grade was. Don't take.

A pretty horrible professor. Super unfair and not helping at all. It always seems like she never wants you to succeed. Don't miss two or more classes because your grade will heavily drop. Insane amount of assignments and only two exams. Stay away.

Passive-aggressive/condescending Strict about attendance. I had to travel across the whole campus in 20 mins, she didn't care that it my tardiness wasn't my fault (it was late & full buses) Grades hard & assigns so much hw. At any given moment there are AT LEAST two *mandatory* assignments simultaneously available any given time, sometimes more

Gave me a 50% on a project because I was out sick one of the days we were working on it even though she gave me an excused absence😛 SHE IS EVIL!!!!

I don't think she likes any1- so condensing. She would tell my team that what we were doing was good, and then take off an obscene amount of points about the specific thing she said was good. Gives no re-dos on assignments and isn't clear on grading criteria even when she grades extremely harshly. When asked, she will not clarify. Take anyone else

not a nice person

The rudest and most condescending person I have ever talked to. When required to meet with her in breakout rooms, not only would she cut you off or not even answer your questions, she continually talk towards you in a nasty tone. Additionally nit picks every single assignment even when you follow the rubrics to a t. DO NOT TAKE HER EVER.

1. I asked a question about an assignment in a meeting and she gave me some rude, snarky remark about me not paying attention. 2. She posted a video lecture on Canvas instead of a meeting once. She set it up on Canvas so you wont get the participation grade if you didn't watch during the lecture time. She dropped my grade 10% for this 'absence.'

This class was the worst experience with a professor or teacher I've ever had. She is so unbelievably rude, and she doesn't listen to a word you say. She is so condescending and looks down on you like you're an idiot. You can be right about something, but she'll cut you off so much you won't even be able to get a sentence out. NEVER TAKE HER!!!!!!!

If you don't already want to off yourself, DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. Insanely tough grading for a GenEd where most of her students are not Bio majors, and her class will make sure they don't ever want to be bio majors. Endless graded assignments. Hopefully, none of your family members pass, because if you miss, your grade will drop by a letter.

DO NOT TAKE. She's a very tough grader. The platform you need to purchase for your assignments uses AI to grade you. If you miss a class, it majorly affects your grade and there are no excused absences even if you can't physically come to class. You will get ignored. She is very condescending and rude.

Try to avoid if you can, but you'll probably make it through fine if you attend pretty much every class. She will take off if your assignment isn't perfect and she makes up for not being a very interesting or good lecturer by showing videos for 1/3 of every class and assigning more work than most other classes you'll probably take.

Worst professor at JMU. I emailed her because I was extremely ill on the morning of an exam and I physically could not go to class and she basically told me tough luck and failed me on the exam, which led to my grade dropping so far down, I could not bring it back up in the 2 weeks left we had of class. She was rude and unwilling to work with me.

This professor is genuinely the worst professor I have ever had. She comes off the first few weeks as super caring and nice. Don't fall for the tricks. She is so rude, changes her grading criteria whenever. Do not even bother. If you are sick, she will drop your attendance grade down to an F. Horrible experience.
