worst bio teacher ever, don't take her!!!!!
I had her last fall and wish I had her for every class. She was the best teacher I ever had. Made the class so much fun and she is so smart. She's so cool. I especially found her online materials an invaluable aid. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
Dilek teaches a class at uc-irvine. unfortunately, she teaches it the exact same way @ COC. even the bio majors find her class hard. and if you're not a bio major - DONT TAKE HER CLASS. lengty midterms, in-depth lectures, ridiculous work in labs - RUN!!!
Dilek will do her best to make sure you understand the material. Not an easy class, but a good teacher to have if you want to have a chance understnading the material. Be ready to study if you take Bio 106 regardless of who the teacher is. THANKS DILEK!!!
Tough class,alot of information to take in.Lectures have all info needed for tests.I never had to open my book,she explains well.
She is a great teacher! She is really good at teaching. All the tests are easy enough because most of the questions are from the lecture notes.
dude this teacher is like super freaking nice. like a teacher who should be with little kids. in other words, she's also pretty easy and is very lenient. usually allows late work and will help you take care of things you missed when you ditched class. she rocks my face off
Dilek is the $%#^! She explains the material very well and makes her lectures really easy. All of her lectures are given out so that u don't have to buy the book. Her final is really hard but she gives lots of opp. for extra credit. Bottom line this teacher is def. worth taking.
Absolutely awesome. Someone who isn't yet jaded about teaching. Seemes to love getting others interested in a subject she obviously loves. Will go out of her way to ensure you are getting it, offers ample extra credit. Is all around terrific!
She is AWeSOME!
Don't take any other Biology professor. Take her and you will love the class. The videos are great, her lectures, and I even looked forward to doing the homework because it was online and useful for future tests. How could you not get an A!?
She is the best teacher I have ever had. She will help you pass her class. She is very good at what she does. Her tests are straight from her lectures and she has reveiws sessions before to help you. Take her you wont regret it.
She's amazing. She knew how to dealt with the confused and the smart kids with grace! I'm so glad I had her for this class because I took the same class with another teacher the previous semester, which deliberately confused the students by making the lectures as unclear as possible. My only choice was to drop.
Excellent professor! Lectures and lab are very clear and concise. Very knowledgeable and informative! Extremely enthusiastic and helpful. Ample extra credit and interesting field trip! Dichotomous key is given for use during lab final. Insects seem overwhelming, but just memorize them and you will be fine even without the key for the lab final!
I loved this class! She is very helpful and knowledgeable! Make sure you really know the parts of the organisms you dissect in class... they will be on the lab practical exam.
I took the lecture part online and I felt like she went really fast when she was explaining things for the lab. we didn't go over the lecture part at all (that I could tell). She is a pretty easy grader though (and very nice) and there is one field trip. probably wouldn't recommend taking the lecture online if you aren't good at biology.
She is so sweet & wonderful! Highly recommended! Tells you exactly what you need to know & is at your lab bench for as long as you need her. Does all she can to help you. I asked her for a letter of recommendation and she went above & beyond what I needed, really put a lot of work into it for me. She an amazing person! Take her if you can!
Wonderful teacher!
She is a really great teacher.
Amazing professor; caring, nice, informative, tries to help as much as possible. The class, esp. the lab, seems much harder than it is. Labs required -not graded - then comes the lab final - tough, but do-able (and not as torturous as anticipated). Me and others got A's, so its possible; not stubborn; 20 pts EC throughout; funny but not a fun class
This is the ideal hybrid class to take. Not a difficult subject to learn from the book alone and she is very interested in helping students. DO the extra credit and you will receive a whole letter grade higher. Take her 106 hybrid class
She is a great professor! She's very helpful & will answer any questions you have. She definitely seems to care that you get the best grade you can, but you need to help yourself if you want her help as well. Her quizzes aren't too difficult, so long as you understand the parts of the lab. For a summer, class it was one of the best! LOVE HER!
I had put this class off for quite a few semesters, and I'm glad I did. I decided to get it over with by taking a summer session hybrid course and ended up with this professor. She's very down to earth and realistic with everything. I would recommend her class to anyone who is worried about taking a bio class!
She is an awesome professor! As long as you attend lectures/lab meetings you will do great. Her quizzes and outline notes are a helpful study guide and she also offers extra credit! I got an A.
Loved, loved , loved this class. She is a wonderful teacher with a great sense of humor. This was in the hybrid format, textbook reading and chapter test online and home. Labs in class. Attend class, be an active participant in the labs, you will love this class.
BIOSCI100 hybrid. Professor really likes the subject and wants students to learn but you have to treat the class as two different classes: One online and one in class. The labs are fun and interesting but will NOT prepare you for quizzes. Do the discussion boards and read. Points add up and can make or break your grade. Great teacher poor setting.
The class was somewhat of a breeze if you read the chapters. The labs are simple but there are 2 lab exams. I suggest keeping your lab write ups because she uses questions from the labs on the exams. You can drop your lowest exam which helps. She's a really nice professor and will work with students who need help. Great at responding to emails.
This professor is amazing. I've taken this class before and failed with a different prof. I'm getting an A with this prof!! Lab quizzes are group. Just show up and you will be fine on the lab exam. Lecture exams are based off the chapter learning objectives and class worksheets.
She is an awesome teacher!! Very easy. It is mandatory to go. Do the work and ask for extra credit!
Took the marine biology hybrid course. So much fun. This professor was so nice, funny, and was always there to answer your questions :) having never taken a college level biology course, and receiving a B+ in her class really speaks how well she teaches. Take her if you can, you won't regret it!
She's by far my favorite professor at COC thus far. Passionate about the material and about her students. Eager to help and answer any questions and is very fun and funny to be around. Even though I found out at the end of the semester that I didn't need this class, I'm glad I took it. Highly recommend her 100%!
Great professor! Very little work, easy A. Lots of extra credit. Class let out early most of the time. Would go over any questions in class before tests. Tests are mc tf and a few short answers based on homework assignments
The most amazing professor ive ever taken. Extremely helpful and makes lectures extremely fun. Has review days before test, where she uses the test questions on the board.
Very fun class. Teacher would show videos in class to liven things up. lots of extra credit built in. impossible to fail class. easy class, minimal work. very good at reviewing and answering any questions you have. would take again-- any class she offers!
The class was tough, but she is very knowledgeable and willing to help you out. The test are tough, but she is willing to review
She is willing to help you if you ask for it. Writes a lot on the board and goes into detail about each subject. Don't bother buying the book, just take notes. Study from the handouts that she gives you and you will pass with an A. Great Teacher and person. Highly recommend her.
Dilek is hands down the best professor I've had. Her passion for biology is so evident and her teaching style is very concise and easy to follow. She does her best to keep lectures exciting with videos to go along with what she is teaching. Her tests are no BS and if you have attended lecture and paid attention, you're pretty much guaranteed an A.
I loved her class. I was very engaged throughout the entire semester. The class format is very straight forward and she gives some extra credit. The gives review sessions before each test which are very helpful. I highly recommend her for any class.
She is an amazing professor who goes above and beyond to make sure you understand the material . Take her over any other professor! I ended up with a B but only because i didn't study nor did i take the small quizzes important. The quizzes really add up!
BEST professor I've ever had Makes the class extremely easy to pass,allowed to do extra credit throughout the semester You have to go to class because it is a lab class, obvious. Her lectures are super easy to comprehend and remember, she does review before every exam so its impossible to fail. She posts the textbook outlines on BB
Our class was a 3hour lecture(T)/Lab(TH). At first those lectures were rough but Dilek is really passionate, she makes jokes, shows us videos, & keeps class interesting. Dilek accommodates to her students! I was really struggling but she took the extra time to additionally help me & adjust to my learning style. Dilek is an amazing professor!
Prof. Dilek was awesome! She teaches botany in a way that is easy to learn, supplementing her lectures with videos and relevant HW assignments. She offers extra credit and puts some into each test too. Just study her study guides and you will be fine. Labs were fun and creative. Would take her for any class she offers!
Amazing professor! I failed 2 tests (my fault for not studying) and I still passed the class with an A! She gives extra credit and makes biology easy to understand. Definitely would recommend anyone to take her
She's an amazing professor. As long as you study her notes you'll do fine on the tests
Super great teacher and knows what she's talking about and super nice when it comes to asking for help. She is always is there to help when I had questions and was the nicest person to help you understand! I did take the hybrid class and yes the class went super fast and its a lot of work and studying but she goes over the whole test most it helps!
I have never been able to understand this subject until I took her class. She offers Extra Credit questions on Exams, making it much easier to get a higher score. Very clear and straight forward and is always willing to help if you go to her for it. Overall you could not ask for a better Professor! Highly recommended!
Professor was awesome. I took the hybrid class (Lecture online, Monday lab only). The test can be difficult but if you do the homework and the study guides online, you will pass. Make sure to show up and do the extra credit. One of the best teachers I've ever had and one of the easiest going and understanding professors I know. Thanks professor!
Very nice teacher. Liked her a lot. Would definitely recommend taking the class.
I thought bio was going to be very boring, but she managed to make it so much fun to the point that i was looking forward to her class & lab. She gives easy hw, she will tell you everything that's on the tests, & will have little reviews. She's willing to stay after class to help out. She's super sweet & her lectures are awesome! would take again!
I loved this class and this professor. It was a hybrid class, which meant we only came in once a week for labs, and learned the lecture material ourselves. I was pretty worried about the labs and dissections but they were actually pretty easy. The lecture material isn't too hard to grasp if you read the book. Great class she offers extra credit!
She is such a great teacher! She literally helps you out with anything you don't get and makes it easier to understand. She gives you all the reviews before exams and finals, they can be hard though if you don't study. Very nice and helpful teacher. Would definitely recommend her!
Awesome teacher. This is not an easy class where you show up and get a grade. You will have to work for it. She offers ec and study guides for the test which are essential. Show up, pay attention, take notes, work hard, complete the work, and study for the exams. Did not need the textbook, her notes and power points were detailed enough.
The professor explains and lectures on material in a way that can be easily understood. She Is more than fair with questions, grading and extra credit. Gives great handouts for note taking.
Professor Dilek is a great professor. She is very caring and always ready to help. She provides study guides and review sessions when possible. He has 4 mid term tests. She does offer extra credit that involves going on a field trip. I would definitely recommend her she is great. You won't regret taking her.
Honestly it all depends on the student. I'm not good at biology at all, but reading the book actually helped a lot because I wouldn't grasp anything while I was in lecture. There are 4-5 midterms which are way better, than just the one because it'll be 2-3 chapters at a time rather than chapters 1-10 for only 1 big accumulative midterm. Take her!
Dilek Sanver-Wang is one of the dopest teachers in. the. game. Some would argue she is the GOAT in biology. I suck at bio, I'm an english major, but I got B's on the first 2 midterms cuz her lectures are thorough. If you look her up on the COC website there's a pic of her with an owl on her hand, lookin like a straight G. I'll post again at the end
Lets you know exactly what will be on the upcoming tests (as long as you stay until the end of class)! Extra credit is easy -- things like go on a hike, or draw and label a cell. She's a great instructor.
One of the best professors at COC. I was in the hybrid course. Midterms and labs are very easy. Good amount of extra credit and amazing study guides.
Professor Sanver Want is great!!! She not only cares a lot about dictating the material in a way that you understand, but is upfront about what you need to study! She is very clear with study guides and review sessions for her expectations on exams. And she also has hilarious videos during lecture!!! Highly recommend above any other professor!
She is by far the best Bio teacher in the school, such an easy class to take. shes pretty funny and does really good lectures. I'm pretty shook that i passed this class. it was a fun class to take and all of the midterms were so easy as long as you study the study guide she gives you then you'll pass
I'm back! I posted on 3/25. Semester's done, got an A because SW is so helpful. TAKE HER IF YOU CAN!! She's very nice and funny and loves the material. Her reviews alone probably boosted my test grades at least a whole grade each time. This woman is a gem. Appreciate her as much as you can.
As long as you study moderately and participate in labs it will be fine considering the ridiculous amounts of extra credit offered. A great teacher who taught me many things about biology and was not boring during lectures.
Professor Wang is an amazing Biology Professor. She is funny and is easy going. I took her Hybrid Bio 100 and it was easy. She gives homework modules that are due at the end of test day. Study guides are handed out around 2 weeks in advance for the test and it has everything you need to know.
Literally the best professor I have had so far at COC. She is so nice and her lectures are not very long and her labs are really fun and she helps you so much. Her tests are really easy if you study the material. If you can memorize the material you can easily pass with an A. She does group quizzes and always offers extra credit! Love that woman!!
So nice!! really cares about her students and the homework is extremely easy. She goes over everything with you and gives you time for all the work. The tests are similar to the study guides and literally exactly like the notes. Study those and you'll pass!
Easy A if you show up and pay attention! She is funny and really cares about the subject and her students. I would take her for any class possible.
best bio teacher ever. very nice. gives you a worksheet and all you have to do is follow along with her in the notes. study guide is EXACTLY what's asked on the notes and EXACTLY what is asked on the test. she's funny. she learns your name. rounds grades only if you attend class and do EC. gives time before exam to review questions. USE FLASH CARDS
Responds to Emails Quickly and always there to help Great Professor
Sanver- Wang is the kindest professor I've met, but I found her class far more challenging than the ratings I saw before I registered. She has her homework online where the amount of time you put in, the more points you'll get out of 3. Her tests are multiple choice and she seems to try and trick you. She has a cumulative final for lab and lecture.
Great professor with clear expectations for her class. She makes all the material accessible. The powerpoints and notes help out a lot when it comes down to tests and the finals. One lecture final and one lab final, and she gives you all the study guides you'll need. Not the easiest class, but manageable.
She makes biology interesting! She cared about her students. Her test/finals were straightforward from her study guides, and for labs you work with your lab table. I struggled the first exam but she cared and she gave me options on where I can possibly take my exams. I ended the class with an A. Just study and pay attention to labs. NO TEXTBOOK
Dilek, is honestly one of the most caring teachers that i have met so far. She is truly invested in her students' education and is extremely sweet. She's very understanding when it comes to situations that may happen and will try to help you if you miss a class. That being said, if you miss a lab, you really miss out on what will be on the exams.
She helps guides you through the lesson and I would recommend going to office hours to get your questions answered. Make sure to have good time management and do not wait until last minute to look at the study guide for the exam.
I recently took Professor Dilek before things got switched to online because of the pandemic. I would highly recommend her because she is the most caring, understanding, and dopest professor ever for Bio. She offered extra credit and if you really put time and effort into her class and attend office hours you will pass. No doubt about it.
For my covid people, she does not give any mandatory zoom meetings to attend, which is nice. Everything you need is on the modules, which are not very long. During the exams and quizzes she even lets you go on the modules, where all the answers can be found. You even get 3 attempts to get 100% on the quizzes. She also offers extra credit every week
Zoom sessions are not mandatory but I recommend to attend them. She makes the material easier to understand and lets you retake quizzes to get the higher scores. Her study guides really help for the exams. She's an overall caring and understanding person if you need extra help or need an extension for an assignment she will give it to you.
Professor Wang is the absolute best! This was my first semester in college and she made the experience so great. She genuinely wants her students to do well. Her grading is very clear, she offers extra credit, and she's always available if you need extra help. Lectures aren't mandatory, but I'd highly suggest attending.
When I first started in her class I thought ughhhh what is this a honors Bio 100 class, but it was not. She truly wants her students to know, and be prepared for higher level Biology classes. She really does cares for her students, and is a very caring professor in general!! She is wonderful.
The professor is very kind and helpful in the labs, just do the labs and you get full credit, she goes over any material before the exam, extra credit was doable and helped a lot, do the study guide, use flashcards, first exam was easy, but the rest I got C's on. however, I did all the homework and extra credit but still passed with and A
Great professor, very kind. Took her hybrid class. Goes over lecture material during lab. Labs are easy and self explanatory. Provides lots of resources. Make sure to study well for lecture exams since they are heavy in information.
professor sanver is very chill and caring! her exams are straightforward from the slides and lab manual. she is willing to give feedback if you email her notes.
She is the sweetest, kind, and very patient professor. Make sure you attend every zoom meetings before exam, it will help you a lot. You will never regret taking her class. I wish I could take her in all of my science class.
I cannot emphasize enough how much I loved having this professor. She is so nice and she is very flexible. The labs were always very interesting and fun and she would always try to help students in any way she could. I took the hybrid class and she provides enough lecture slides where a student could use those as a guide for the semester.
Professor Sanver-Wang was one of the best teachers I have ever had. All the labs were very easy and fun. The study guide for the test is everything you need to know for the test. There is lots of extra credit. She is also the most caring professor and she wants you to succeed! Trust me, take her!!!
Professor Dilek is one of the greatest professors at COC. She makes a hard course manageable, and you can pass with some effort. Just make sure to stay on top of her lectures and watch her assigned videos. She goes out of her way to answer any questions. Best decision I ever made was taking her course. Truly a remarkable instructor!
This professor is absolutely amazing, you get the grade of work you put into the class. Studying is important ! She was so kind to all students I was in a pickle of school and and a new job opportunity and she moved me to an afternoon class for two labs so I won't miss out in school and training She loves biology and makes it fun!
I LOVE Professor Sanver-Wang! She is the nicest and most caring professor I have ever had. She makes the material very easy to understand, gives a light load of homework, and her tests are very easy as well. She also understands if you had to miss an exam and lets you make it up. I wish every professor was like her, she's truly the best!!! :D
Professor Sanver-Wang is the best choice for this course! She is very kind and knowledgeable. I really appreciated that she took students' personal lives into consideration and tried her best to work with our schedules despite having other classes, work, or families to attend to. Workload is manageable, labs were fun and exams are straightforward!
She was a great professor for Bio and a good professor if you want to be introduced into the science classes. She was always helpful and answered any questions you needed. I found the class easy, the exams were easy as long as you studied beforehand. Take her! She's amazing and funny as well.
Professor Dilek Sanver-Wang is an amazing professor! She provides so much support for all of her students. I really appreciate how she learned all of her students names. Lots of exams, but you will receive an A if you put in 2-3 hours of studying. Go to her review sessions, they are so helpful. Also, text book is free!
Took her in the fall and she was such a good and caring teacher. Homework was easy and lab was easy. Make sure you study the study guide for tests and she has a lot of them but not too bad and not too long. She helped me when I needed an extension when my parents were out of town so I can take care of my brother and she was always there. TAKE HER!
Amazing professor! Always willing to help. Be ready to study a lot in order to do good on lect. exams. Gives extra credit on each exam! If you are taking this course, take her class!!
A true queen. Take her class and study the material; you'll get the A.
Professor Sanver Wang is the best. She gives extra credit questions on each exam. Review the study guide for each exam and do the online zoom to clear up any questions or concepts you don't understand. She responds quickly. Wants her students to succeed.
I would take this professor again if I have too. She has a lot of practice quizzes online to go through and offers extra credit on her exams, which she give you the questions that she'll ask you on the extra credit. Highly recommend taking her class!
I did accelerated Bio 100, lecture or lab exam every week after first. Lab quizzes are done as a group and only worth 2 points. I recommend doing the short answer for the first 3 lecture exams then multiple choice for last 2, the answers are literally exactly what's on the slides. Just make sure you study and you'll be good.
She was awesome. Genuinely cares for her students' well-being and wants them to succeed. My class was 8 weeks with an exam every week, but she made it very possible to get a good grade.
Her class was extremely flexible! Labs were in person and lectures were online, but she was so generous with deadlines and provided so many extra resources. Her study guides were extremely accurate to the exams. Overall the class was a breeze and the way she structured it made it enjoyable!
Great Teacher, rounded up my grade from C+ to B-. Study for lab and lecture exams. Very organized material, gives you everything you need to know for all exams. Overall great teacher. Very kind and responds to emails fast. If I could go back and put in extra effort studying, probably could've passed with an A!
