There are 3 tests and one final. The only "assignments" are clicker questions (you don't need to get them right) and discussion attendance. If you go to lecture and review a for a few hours before the test, you will get a good grade. Non-biology majors might have difficulty, but this is by far the easiest intro biology teacher. Highly recommended!

Dr. Bradbury is an amazing biology teacher in compare to all other! She is really enthusiastic about bio and really kind to all of her students. Once in a while gives squarecap questions for attendance/participation. Test are really easy compared to all of the other biology teachers also gives bonus. Take if you want an A in bio! No hw!

Dr. Bradbury really knows her stuff- the one downfall about this: she expects you to really know your stuff as well. This isn't an issue though if you have good work ethic. My best grades have come from writing/printing the lecture notes prior to class, so I could write everything she says down in class. Not an easy A, but worth it! Read textbook!!

Dr. Bradbury is really passionate about biology and that shows in her class. Class may be more difficult if you don't have a biology background, like in high school. Reading the textbook is the difference between a B and an A in her class. No homework so pretty chill. Doesn't make you feel dumb for any questions.

Dr. Bradbury is honestly the nicest and funniest professor I've had but this class was killer. If you went in having a good background in bio then you probably won't have any problem but if you know nothing this class can get a tad difficult. If you put the work in and really study the class can be managed.

This semester was her first time teaching an intro level biology class and I think she did a fine job. Of course, if you don't have at least some background knowledge of biology, this class is going to be difficult, but to me it was easy breezy. She's very energetic and passionate about teaching and her focus (plants).

She's hysterical and her class is easily passable. I have friends who took a lot of AP Bio who barely have to think to get A's, but as someone who doesn't have a huge Bio background, I definitely had to work for my grade. Her tests could be way harder if she wanted them to be. You only need to read the textbook if you want A's.

Dr. Bradbury is truly the best professor I have ever had. If you are a student with a disability TAKE HER!! She adapts the classroom and makes sure you have everything to succeed! In addition, I have never met a more caring professor in my years as a university student. Her teaching style can be fast-paced at first but not hard to undertsand !

I love Dr. Bradbury. She is funny and passionate about teaching! She is available if you need to speak with her about questions or other things. She does "assign" a textbook and following readings, but there is no grade associated with it, it is more of an extra resource with maybe 1 question on the test. There is no homework. Overall a great class

Attendance taken through clicker question during lecture. Test are VERY lecture heavy, but NOT hard if you pay attention to the details during lecture. Go to her office hours. Do all the learning objectives. Don't bother with the book unless you need something clarified. You get as much as you put in for this class. Final was trash though.

It's not an easy A, but its doable. Lectures are fast paced and can become disorganized so reading the book is very important. Best way to ace the tests is to outline the chapters, attend every lecture and take notes, and do all the discussion assignments . The final is very difficult and does not really cover material that was on previous tests

Dr. B isn't horrible, she just writes some confusing questions on her tests that are meant to trick you. I think the reason why everyone did bad on the final was because she wrote some really bad questions. Other than that, just study the textbook because her slides are surface level and you should do fine.

Take Dr. B if you have a good foundation in bio. Tests are fair and based on the slides and lecture. Def don't need to read the textbook to pass. GO TO OFFICE HOURS B4 TESTS, countless times she gave hints and said questions verbatim. The final was rough, tricky, but doable. An A is possible but ppl take this class too easy since its in intro class

You can tell how much Bradbury enjoys biology. Her lectures are usually pretty engaging. Studying for tests is time-consuming but just go by the learning objectives for each unit. Discussion sections are pretty pointless but mandatory attendance; pray you get a good TA. The final was much harder than the midterms, so make sure you really study.

Overall, Bradbury's class wasn't bad. Lectures weren't the most interesting, but majority of info was in powerpoints which were online. Sometimes she'll spit out little things that end up being on the exams. Grades in the class were 3 exams, a final, and sporadic clicker questions for attendance. She offered extra cred on every exam.

I really enjoyed Dr. Bradbury's class. She's extremely sweet and a very entertaining lecturer, and is clearly very passionate about what she does. Her lectures were at times a bit hard to keep up with so if you're not the greatest at biology, like I admit I was, it may not be the best fit for you. Final exam was extremely hard.

Dr. Bradbury is very smart and very enthusiasric when teaching the course. You can tell she enjoys talking about biology and I really enjoy her lectures. The tests can be a bit hard, but you should do okay if you study. Her lectures do require the app Squarecap, so if you don't want to pay for an app don't take her, though.

I really enjoyed Dr. B's class! She is a really sweet lady. Her lectures are powerpoint based, often accompanied by a crash course video before hand. Although I found it hard to follow some of her lectures, I would frequent her office hours. If you take her, GO TO OFFICE HOURS!! They are super helpful and she'll often give you exam questions!!

Dr B is my favorite professor I have taken at UT. Super funny, personable, and very VERY knowledgeable about plants! I was worried about this class and had no interest in plants, but she made it so fun and was so enthusiastic it was hard NOT to learn in her class. TAKE ADVANCED PLANT ANATOMY AND LAB IF YOU WANT TO ENJOY UD BIOS

She just stands there and teaches from a powerpoint, can get boring at times. Definitely need to read the text book, even tho she doesnt require you to get it, but she will give you a link to it. She is also very available to students. BONUS she takes off a week to protest climate change, all of thanksgiving break,and the day after halloween

Dr. B is such a sweet, bubbly woman and is the best professor to take for genetics. Her tests are called "quizzams" and they are not too difficult if you put in the effort. Also go to her office hours, she is so personable and will answer any questions. Her slides aren't that detailed, so going to class and taking notes is in your best interest

Dr. Bradbury was one of my favorite professors. She is very energetic, fun, and knowledgable about genetics. Tests were 100% based off of lectures, as there were very few assignments outside of class. The one thing you must do in her class is go to lectures. She provides the slides but they're useless unless you write down what she said in class.

Dr. Bradbury is a very kind prof. and will work with you if you are struggling. It might be difficult to schedule time with her because she teaches two different courses. Her exams are very lecture based. You must attend discussion in order to pass this class. She's passionate about genetics which helps make the class manageable.

To get an A, attend lectures to answer tophat questions, go to discussion, read the book or skim b4 test/, slides are very useful, DO LEARNING OBJECTIVES (this makes midterms so much easier)!!! She also has bonus questions on her exams for extra credit--do those! Go to her office hours B4 exams! Not too much work outside of class. Don't get lazy!

Bradbury is very passionate and nice (her first time teaching it tho). You'll be very lost if you skip class/discussion. Grading was very unclear, and in the end, attendance grades from certain discussion days played a HUGE part in your final grade... and I happened to miss those ones. Class would've been an easy A- if I tried harder.

There are 4 exams, a final, and Dr. B will ask questions during lecture on TopHat for points sometimes! This class is definitely not an easy A you will need to study (especially for the exams) but the TA's are really helpful and they want you to succeed. They even hold q&a sessions the night before the exam. Attend office hours if you can too!

Dr. B made biology so easy to understand! She really makes sure to understand her students concerns and work with them. This is what makes her such a good professor because she actually cares for her students and makes the material easy enough for us to learn. Discussions aren't as good, TA's aren't a big help. Take Dr.B!!

Dr. Bradburry has to be the best Bio professor I have taken so far at UT. She genuinely cares about all of her students and actually accommodated us by postponing our exam day due to having an ochem exam the day before. In-class questions, hw, and discussions are completion based for the most part, and exams are based solely around the lectures

Dr. B is incredibly caring and willing to accommodate the needs of students. In terms of the exams, they are fully LECTURE-based. They are roughly 60 percent free response and 40 percent multiple choice (the grading for the free response can be a bit harsh). Overall though, an A is very doable if you attend lecture/discussion and put in the work.

Dr. Bradbury was a great Genetics Professor. She has a very clear set of "learning objectives" for every exam and if you study to those specifically, you will get As on her exams. Even though for Fall 2021 the course was mostly online, you do have to attend all lectures because there are pop-up questions during class which are participation points.

A solid choice for genetics. Exams are a mix of multiple-choice and free-response questions. Work fast because exams are given on a time crunch (50 mins only)! Class attendance is mandatory due to in-class questions, which are graded on both participation and accuracy. Plus side is grade is supplemented with pre-class assignments and homework.

Dr. B's learning objectives are stated clearly in both her textbook and her lectures. The main course grade comes from 6 exams and one final group project, and homework usually consisted of chapters in her textbook. Dr. B. was really nice and accessible during her scheduled office hours. I would definitely take a course with her again.

Dr. Bradburry is a great lecturer. She is very clear with her material, but there is a lot to retain. She does pre/post class assignments to deeper the understanding of the content. Make sure to pay attention to what she is saying about the material as it is not always on the slides. Her exams are application based, so study and you should be fine.

Bradbury is very passionate in what she teaches. The quizzes are not easy but it does not cover anything that she does not go over in class. She is also happy to answer any questions not matter how dumb you think the question is. This was my second time taking Bio311c and I learned so much more than I did the first time with Partridge.

Dr. Bradbury made the lectures super engaging and easy to grasp. Part of the course is on TopHat where we have short 5 question assignments before and after every class. Definitely take this class!

Dr. Bradbury's lectures are fast and can be difficult to follow, but she is overall a pretty chill professor. A lot of your grade comes from just completing assignments and participating in lectures, so it's not too hard to get an A. If you took AP Bio in high school, it will definitely help, but this class is still manageable if you didn't.

There are quizzes every 2-3 weeks. The lectures are dense and fast-paced. She uses topHat so it can be hard to navigate. There are assignments before and after each lecture. Quizzes are taken on Zoom and TopHat which can be distracting. You learn a lot but some background in chemistry or biology helps. It is possible to do well.

Dr. B's class is fun, face-paced, and really educational. My only complaint is the use of TopHat. You have 6 'quizzams' every 2-3 weeks and they're mainly multiple choice and from the lecture session or homework questions. Dr. B is a great lecturer but she goes really fast so be sure to ask questions (she's super approachable). Take this class!!

6 "Quizzams" and a final, which helps your grade. Offers lots of extra credit. Review old questions throughout assignments and lecture because those often show up on the test. Very doable class in my opinion if you study.

Dr. B was a wonderful Bio professor, you can tell how passionate she is about both the subject material and her student's success. The tests consist of 6 "Quizzams" which even if you don't do well on them will average out. For class materials, she primarily uses TopHat and Canvas. She offers a great amount of extra credit!

She uses Top Hat as the main platform for the class, which I liked. There are lecture questions worth points, so you kind of have to attend class. There's homework before/after class, but it's not bad at all. She is very concerned with her student's health and learning comprehension. I learned a lot in her class, I would take it again if I could :)

Really enjoyed Dr. Bradbury! At first, I was really nervous about this class, but she definitely made it less nerve-racking. Tests are manageable as long as you are using the learning objectives and lectures to study. Overall, Dr. Bradbury is really sweet, and I definitely recommend her as a prof!

Her pre and post class assignments help you to understand the information on a deeper level. Tests are worth a low percentage of your grade so if you do the homework you will pass. She assumes you took AP bio, as someone who didn't I had to study a lot harder than the people in her class who did take AP bio.

Dr B is an overall great professor for this course. Lots of little assignments but all are manageable. Participation is a lot of the grade. "Quizzams" are short but can have difficult questions. Review all lectures and assignments (especially the questions asked in lecture and pre, post, and enrichment activities as they will be reused).

I really liked Bradbury and her method of teaching (a traditional lecture with details, not really too application based) and her Quizzams were fair and all material came from slides and activities on Top Hat. I think she does a good job at really explaining material. Attendance matters. She does offer a fair amount of extra credit.

Dr. Bradbury is seriously the best ever! Some of the bad reviews are from a while ago and she's definitely perfected her teaching. She is the sweetest, funniest, and a great lecturer. I was never very stressed for her class and have an A+. The 6 quizzams meant that I didn't have to study huge amounts of material at a time. Take her if you can.

She is such an amazing professor that cares for her students. You have 7 quizzams, one of them gets averaged out. They aren't a big part of your overall grade so don't worry much but they are timed and proctored by the TA. There are pre and post class every other day that is on quizlet. use office hours to complete in class assignments if missed.

One of the most caring professors I've had. She's willing to work with you if you're having a tough time and can't handle all of the assignments at the moment.

I know Dr. B doesn't teach at UT anymore but she was an astounding professor. So caring and kind and always came in with the best outfits ever. Super great at explaining complicated material. Office hours with her were so great. 6 quizzams that made studying stress-free. I would have taken her for genetics if she was still here.
