Loved this class and Professor Le made it awesome. She's a young professor so is really able to relate to the students. She gives many opportunities to get your grade up. We did not need to buy a textbook. To get a good grade on the lecture exams: come to class, do the reviews and the online HW. For a good grade in lab, come everyday and study hard

I loved her. She is really nice and funny and enjoys her job. She'll let you know what to expect on tests and what to study. There are reviews and homework assignments, and you must do the work to pass. She wants all her students to pass and does whatever she can to help you. I would definitely take her again.

This is a great professor! She doesn't respond to emails that much so don't plan on getting a reply. But she tells you what she expects. If you don't study, don't expect to pass. She is somewhat lenient and allows for bonus points on tests. I was nervous about taking her class due to the comments, but it's nothing like they say, she's better.

Prof. Le was an awesome professor! I was really nervous on starting bio especially as a dual credit student but she made the course really do-able. The class isn't hard you just need to focus and put in study time and you'll be fine. As for in the class she's really caring and the most down to earth professor I've ever had. Def would take again.

Professors Le's class is to demanding. She gives out the study guide late. And only gives us a week to study for major exams. Her lectures are to fast paced and her directions are vague. Defiantly do not take if you enjoy having a social life. Not very helpful in explaining materials.

You will pass this class if you study and maintain your schedule organized. I didnt take it seriously at first and this resulted in me barely passing the first exam. Each test is about 80 questions and they are 6/10 on the difficulty level, but you will def pass if you go to her study sessions! Shes very nice and quick to help if youre stuck.

Professor Le is very knowledgeable about the subject and passionate in her presentation of material. There is a lot of material on the subject and the tests are designed to show her you know the subject. She will always make herself available for a student and do everything she can to help them. Drops the lowest exam score form the average.

Professor Le is the kindest teacher ever! She would always lighten up the class environment. She also always brought food during exams. Her tests do have a ton of material, but you get a notecard so make sure to study. Also there are lots of group projects that boost up your grade I would definitely request her if I were to take this course again.

There is no lecture associated with the online only option so get ready to teach yourself biology just from the online textbook. Tests are not clear- answers are jumbled together and are monitored and don't really seem to follow the textbook or the ungraded homework. There is a group project which always sucks. The hardest class I have taken.

Just dropped this course, was taking it for a 5 week course. I understand is a heavy course with many things to learn, especially in a crunch time, but the work load is a full time job. You will not be able to do anything else. It was the most stressful week, and I have taken 3wk classes. Required class for non-science major, and crazy work load.

Overall the course is okay, get ready for a lot of reading if you're taking an online class. You have a quiz after each chapter, Exams are proctored. She does give study guides, but not very helpful (in my opinion). Also one group project and she assigns the students. She does reply fairly quick on emails.

Get ready for a lot of reading if you're taking an online class. You have a quiz after each chapter, signature tests are horrible. Exams are proctored - you have to download it and have your camera on, which I think is ridiculous and invading privacy. Study guides are not very helpful. There's one group project and she assigns the students.

This is my second semester with Professor Le. She's so passionate in lecture, and really makes it as easy as possible to grasp the material. She's such a kind and caring professor too, htf. Bio isn't my strongest subject, & I have a high B. Easy exams, group projects, a signature assignment, and plenty of extra credit up for grabs!

Diep Le was very sweet but she was not well organized for our class. She was hard to get ahold of and didn't even lectured us hardly. Each exam we had to look over it because the scantrons weren't even corrected by 4-7 question's. She didn't even know that her notes did not follow her PowerPoint. And we missed major points because of her lazy self.

NOT organized at all. Does not respond to emails in a timely manner. She does not teach very well at all. Other teachers have Ka boots to help and helpful guides. She has guided notes worth only 1.25 points and they are AWFUL... they do not help and not worth the extra time to do. I wouldn't recommend this class at all. You teach yourself!

I took Professor Hernandez this fall semester and got ready for a bunch of lab assignments, quizzes, and unit tests. She is so unorganized when it comes to putting due dates for assignments when the class starts. Also, she barely answers any emails if you try to reach out to her. If anyone wants a shot at her class go for it. Just don't take her.

She is the kindest angel ever. Her lectures are informative, never boring, and inspiring. In my class, she sat down with everyone in the classroom and reviewed the concepts from beginning to end. Her efforts stretches far beyond your expectations! She is super understanding and builds meaningful relationship with her students in just five months.

Group project is an experiment. If you do not get certain results there is an unwritten rule that you have to do it again or else you get a poor grade. Which means buying the supplies however many times it takes you to get whatever results are acceptable. Which you will not know till after semester ends which is when she grades projects. Don't take

PLUS several quizzes, tests, labs etc per week. No lecture videos are provided. Proctored tests at the end of each unit but has plenty of graded things they dont significantly hurt you

This professor is a kind professor. She cares about her students, is responsive, and communicates well. That being said, the other reviews are right. I took an 8-week course. There were about 120 "concepts" per week, which translated to 360 questions to complete in 7 days. Plus other assignments. The content is easy; the workload is hard.
