Mrs. Ininns is an excellent teacher in every respect. She is able to relate to common problems students have with the classes she teaches, which are Human Anatomy (BIO 11) and Microbiology (BIO 12). I learned a great deal in her classes (I took both).
Lots of work in this class (no way around it) but Ms. Ininns is an excellent teacher.
I took Professor Innins for Anatomy and I think she is great. Very clear and helpful to students in need. She also has a great sense of humor!
Very clear and cosistent; however, this semester, she didn't have a chance to work w/students 1:1 b/c she had to teach another class; wish she didn't, but she's a great teacher!
Dr. Ininns is an excellent teacher! She is more than willing to help her students. Her class is an easy A compared to other biology classes. She offers extra credit and study guides! (That's rare) Learn it, work hard and you get an A!
This woman makes you work! Very nice person. Her outlines on Blackboard are her tests and her lectures. They are straight out of the book. HARD tests.
Prof. Ininns is the best teacher at Saddleback! She really makes you learn! Tough class but she is very fair! You will aspire to be like her in your profession! She should be teacher of the year!
This teacher is the best you could ever ask for. She makes everyone feel that they are capable of doing great in her course and in the health profession in general. She motivated me to be a better student and became a very good friend as well. She CARES!!
Highly recommended
I think the bottom poster has the wrong teacher..Awesome professor! Pay attention 2 her lectures. Class is well-structured. She makes learning the material very clear. Read the book, study off of her lecture. Tests are tough, but you'll learn a lot!!=)
She is a great professor and very knowledgeable. She makes the classes so much fun to learn.
Professor Innins is the best teacher.She is very understanding and has the best sense of humor.She will always keep you laughing.She offers alot of xtra credit so there is no excuse to not get a good grade in her class.I recommend her VERY highly.She also teaches Micro,if Im lucky she'll let me cras
Incredible teacher!! This class is very demanding so don't fall behind...stay on top of things or it will come back to bite you! There's extra credit and exams are curved. Put in the hard work and you can get an A! I highly recommmend her class...She is great!!
Professor Innins is the best instructor I have ever had in many years of college. Anatomy can be pretty tough, but get to class & labs, listen to her, and do all the extra credit. Get a study group going, participate, and you will do awesome. I am going into medicine because of her. She is hot hot!!
Best teacher! So helpful and makes you want to do well. She believes in her students and she is very realistic ~ she can relate to those of us with jobs and families.
Organized, helpful and clear. My favorite teacher for sciences
She is sooo nice and knows her stuff really well. She explains so well and even when ur like super tired and ur brain isn't awake she makes it the words friendly and ur like yeah i get it.
awesome teacher, never thought i could ever pass a class like anatomy or micro. i was one of the few males in my class and she was way chill with me. i got a b in both classes. She is very clear and helpful and has an odd, but entertaining sense of humor. I would recomend her to anyone having doubts about bio classes.
She made it possible to get an A in Microbiology! I even retained what I learned which will be most helpful down the road. You know a teacher's great when you look forward to going to class!
Oh God! BEST TEACHER IN THE WHOLE WORLD. I 've never even heard of such a helpful teacher. She is the BEST. Her notes are just Super helpful. you can use them for any other calss u r taking(bio, micro, physio,...) She makes the subject so easy and so interesting. I f there is any way u can take a class with her, JUST DO SO.
I must agree with the rest. Elizabeth is on top of it. Her level of organization and clarity has made microbiology something to enjoy (it's true... I actually tell people that I love microbiology...). I can't say I've ever had such a capable and helpful professor.
Very good teacher explains everything clearly
Elizabeth is the best teacher at Saddleback!!! I love her! Mirco is a hard class, so you have to study all the time!! She is very smart! She tries to teach in a way that we will understand since micro is very hard. 4 lecture tests, 5 or 6 lab quizzes, final and a paper. She does offer extra credit and curves her tests! Take her, you won't regret it
This lady know her bacteria- She is scary smart and so helpful. Saddleback needs more teachers like Prof Ininns. It is so sad she doesn't teach physiology.
This teacher is one you will learn from! She is clear in her lectures, and will stop to take questions. Wish Dr. Ininns would teach Phyiso, so the drop out rate wouldn't be as bad as it is at Saddleback! If you want to learn, this is the teacher you want to take........you won't be sorry!
The best teacher i've ever had!! micro is a hard class that demands a lot of study time but Elizabeth made it much more easier for us by explaining each chapter clear enough. Definitely knows the subject matter well and is very organized. Curves exams and is very reasonable in giving grades! i just wish she would teach physio. It make a big help!
I took her for Anatomy last semester and I'm taking Micro with her now. She is the BEST professor EVER!! She is so helpful, smart and FUNNY! She explains things so well, just study alot. 98% of her tests come from her lectures and her power points are great. I am thinking about starting a petition for her to teach Physio!!! Take her class!!!!!!!!!!
Ininns is organized, and she's very understanding. She is such a good lady, and her power points and notes are the key. If you take her early class, don't irritate her and make her mad - just be on time. I also suggest getting into a study group, and don't procrastinate. The unknown rept is hard, just ask tons of questions.
Very interesting classes. Take her if you're serious about learning!!, her Anatomy class really helps in Physio, a lot of studing but good base for future classes.
Great teacher! Do the study guides and reading and you'll do fine in the class. She offers extra credit and curves the tests/quizes. She is very approachable as well.
Definetely the best class I've ever taken and one of the best teachers! Microbiology is a hard course, but Prof. Ininns doesn't make it impossible. She is fair in grading and wants all her students to succeed.
The best there is at saddleback!!!! The most organized teacher you'll ever meet. Her goal's to get all her students to do well. She'll even walk around class during lab times and let you know if you are slipping off and need to work just a little harder. This is the teacher your teacher if you need to take either Anatomy of Microbiology.
Extremely helpful, and provided all info in clean easy to read manner. Lectures covered EVERTHING on test, and follwed book almost exactly. Broke difficult material down in ways more easier to understand. Highly recommend. Micro can be hard at times
The best professor I have had in 10 years of my education. Both Micro and Anatomy are tough classes no matter who you take it with. However, Ininns kindness and devotion to each and every student is what makes her the best. She has a great personality and had us laughing all semster. A+ perfect 10 teacher right here. Study Hard !!
great !
The best teacher I ever had! She will response your e-mail whenever you need. Only one time has same outfit during 8 weeks summer semester (mon-thurs) She has sense about fashion!!! Recommand her!!!! Take her!!!!!
An AWESOME professor. Extremely patient when it comes to reexplaining things and very fair. Agree with outfit comment from previous post. Micro is a VERY difficult class if you don't study and pay attention. Elizabeth will answer any question you have, even twice!!! So love her!
Prof. Innins is awesome. She genuinely wants everyone to do well so she often gives hints as to what to study to do well on the test. Her study guides are extremely useful, but cover everything on the test... so, a TON of info. If you know everything on the study guide, you'll do great. Go to open lab, ask questions and she'll be your best friend.
All the comments you are reading are very true. She was definetly one of my favorite teachers by far! She is extremely helpful and tells some funny stories. She really wants her students to succeed. So study hard.
I love this teacher! She is amazing and always there willing to help you if you have any questions. I took her for Anatomy and Microbiology. If she tells you something is going to be on a test it will be, no tricks. Her lectures are clear and easy to understand and she really cares about her students:) I wish she taught Physiology!
Don't think about taking another teacher!!! She is the BEST Micro teacher at saddleback. Microbiology is not an easy subject but she makes it fun and easier to learn. She explains everything and if you have any questions she will help out in anyway that she can. The BEST teacher!!!!
I love Prof Innins! Microbiology is a tough and a lot of studying, but Innins makes it so much easier for you... she gives good notes and her study guides help out a lot. She is very understanding and a kind person and will help you with whatever you need help on.. and she cracks a few jokes here and there.. fun teacher
Looked forward to each and every day of this class. Makes microbiology fun. Very approachable and explains things so they're understood.
Easy class, Easy A. Not nearly as rote as Anatomy. Just study and pay attention in class...her Exams are 97% lecture, 3% textbook based. Ininns is a great teacher: extremely understanding, patient, and professional. She can have a morbid sense of humor. i took Micro in the spring. Save yourself a semester by taking it in the summer
Prof. Ininns is great! I love her, she is very helpful, answers all questions and tells you exactly what is on the tests. All you need to do is study, you earn your grade.
Although Microbio isn't all that interesting, she is one of those Professors that you want to work hard for; you want to reciprocate the effort and respect she gives you. Very approachable and down to earth. Not arrogant at all! Love her! TAKE HER CLASS!!! You won't regret it!
she is pretty cool, the class is hard but if you are close to the next grade up then she will give you that grade, she is alot better the most of the other proffessors, just work hard, be there, study and pay attention and you will be fine. take her!
Love her. She is very helpful and crystal clear, always willing and welcomes questions. Lecture and lab quizzes are not easy but, if u study u will do well. I got an A. She is the best at saddleback for sciences, trust me, the other have BAD reviews
She is by far my favorite teacher! i wish she would teach physio. she makes everything so clear and is beyond willing to sit down and explain material to you. Very helpful, very funny, and wants you to learn while passing.
I can't say enough good things about her. She made anatomy fun. Her teaching style compliments both auditory&visual learners. She has a great sense of humor, super helpful in lab & gives you the essays for the tests ahead of time. During lecture, she gives a heads up what's on the tests. No homework, 4 quizzes, 4 lecture & 4 lab exams. Take her!:-)
amazing passion for teaching.will captivate your attention.highly recommended.took it with sp5,n161,psyc1.take ec opportunities.keep up a high grade.she curves so I accumulated a lot of ec.missed 14pts on 100pt final but still managed to get A+.study guide+lec notes=SUCCESS.very concise.straight2dpoint.helpful.down to earth.LOVVvvve her.take her!!!
took her for summer.doable but very fastpaced.crystal clear teaching and exams make the class doable.learned a lot from her.fun personality.highly recommended.my fave prof here at saddleback.the best one available.not intimidating even though she's so bright.stays afterhours to help anybody.dedicated and knows her stuff!Take her and enjoy micro!!
Definitely my favorite teacher so far. Took her for bio 11 and 15. Print out the notes she posts online for lecture, do her study guides, and you will do well. Very helpful, knowledgeable and approachable. She really cares about her students and puts a lot of effort into the class. Grades tests and papers very quickly. Good sense of humor too!
She was a good teacher, very clear in her lectures. A lot of information in anatomy but she tried to make it interesting. She was extremely helpful in labs and is willing to sit down and help you out if you are struggling.
Prof Ininns made this class for me. She is funny as h*ll and really wants you to learn and have fun with it. Great instructor!
Great teacher, Funny and very helpful. The class alone is hard but she is always willing to help, grades on a curve and study guide is very helpful.
The hardest class I've ever taken. Getting an A, but working very, very hard for it. She's a great teacher and expects a lot. She's very helpful. You'll learn a lot, and go a little crazy, if you take her.
She is the harder teacher of this subject, but the best! She makes learning interesting and gives you all the time and help you need. Tests and lab quizzes are not easy you need to study. Awesome teacher!!! I love her.
Excellent teacher. Great sense of humor. Very knowledgeable. Requires a lot of preparation outside of class. Love her grading system. She said you have to get an A on the finals to get an A for the course, but not sure if she really meant it because it was not written on her syllabus. Not sure why she would say that tho? Can she even do that? Hmm..
Micro is a lot of work but there is no better prof than prof Innins. Took her for both anatomyµ. She is fantastic! Totally wants students to suceed. Super fair grader-curves tests. Lab was tons of fun. Uses slides for lecture to follow along. Great sense of humor. Sticks to syllabus schedule. Crystal clear directions on everything. Amazing!
Very hard class, but Ininns is a great teacher. She's always willing to help. Test are hard but she curves. You must work hard to get an A.
Very hard class BUT great great professor! TAKE HER!
Ininns is the best teacher I have ever had. She has a great sense of humor and is very helpful. Her patience is amazing, and she makes subjects that aren't always easy, very clear. Take her for any class you can, she is an amazing teacher and a very cool person to get to know. I can honestly say I will miss her.
She is an amazing professor! I really liked her. She clearly explains everything and lets you know what you need to do to obtain a good grade in the class. Its all about how much time and effort you put into this class. Most of the test material is in her powerpoints. She gives you a study guide to follow for each unit test. Great professor.
What a great teacher she is. It is a lot of work, but the grade you get is the one you worked for. There are no tricks to the class, what you put in is what you get out. She makes everything as clear as glass! I cannot say more great things about this professor and the way she teaches! Quite funny and goofy as well.
Professor Ininns is so nice and helpful but her tests are so hard and she carved the grades.
EXTREMELY HARD CLASS SO PLAN ON PUTTING IN A LOT OF HOURS IF YOU WANT AN A. SHE'S A GREAT TEACHER AND VERY HELPFUL. I LEARNED A LOT FROM HER CLASS.
for the sake of ur grade do NOT take her! she comes off as goofy & helpful but she's really not. prepare to TEACH YOURSELF cause she barely scratches the surface of what u need 2 kno in lecture & you have to fill in the (many) blanks on ur own. Either that or spend the entire semester in her office hours. TAKE ONLY IF UR A BIO PERSON w/ STRAIGHT A'
TAKE ININNS! She is awesome! So helpful! Tough tough class but if you work at it and stay up to date with assignments and your readings you will be fine. She has office hours that helped a ton! AWESOME PROFESSOR! I would take her for every class if she taught it!
I love professor Ininns. She is incredibly smart, and sweet. She is very clear, and will answer any question you have about the human body. Hard class, but with her it's fun!
Smart, funny, breaks down everything you need to know pertaining to Micro in 16.5 weeks. I graduated UCLA, and I feel that she was one of the best science professors I've ever taken. It's hard to find a good science teacher who knows how to relate the material to his/her students. Ininns has a gift. Recommend her to anyone who is interested in med!
Prof. Ininns is the best teacher I have EVER had. Her class is not easy by any means, but she really wants all of her students to succeed. She is very clear of what is expected and also extremely helpful. Her passion and knowledge for what she teaches is contagious. This class is not an easy A, you have to work extremely hard for it.
Twice the work for half the grade! Nothing against her personally but she teaches the class as if we all want to be microbiologist. Extremely detailed about everything, never knew what to expect on the test. From talking with other students take it at OCC or GW if you want to get an A and not spend 6hr/day 7days/week for 16 weeks studying.
I Love Love Ininns! She is my favorite bio teacher ever. It is alot of work, but what bio class isn't. She definitely is always there to help and her exams are pretty much off her powerpoints if you look at it. It wasn't hard to get an A in the class. I definitely did. Just put some time and you will get it. I definitely recommend taking her!!!!!!!
I don't know what the previous comment is talking about! I just finished Micro in the summer with an A, and believe me is not easy, plan to study a lot!! but I prefer Ininns over any other teacher, I tried Clark and she is boring,moody & not clear on tests. Ininns makes it easy for you as you have study guides 4 tests/quizzes. TAKE HER!!
BEST prof EVER, she cares about you, academics aside. She is like a Mom who give you clear instructions, tools, guidance for success but doesn't treat you like a kid and boss you around. Subjects she teaches are difficult but she is Extremely fair and very pleasant, which makes learning a lot easier and fun.
LOVE HER!! She is a great passionate professor, her class is not easy but she provides you with the right tools to succeed. Very helpfull and understanding. Her class is not EASY but she makes it interesting.
Elizabeth Innins is an outstanding teacher and compassionate. She explains the material very well and truly cares about her student's. She is very clear about what is expected to do well in her class. I had her for 3 classes: microbiology, anatomy, and physiology. I believe she's the best professor at Saddleback for each of these subjects.
Ininns is an Amazing professor. She genuinely wants her students to do well. There is a lot of material and a lot to do but she makes it not overwhelming. I was so happy to be in her class.
Ininns is one of the BEST science professors I've had. The course isn't easy & there is a lot of work, but she has a way of teaching overwhelming material in a simple & organized manner. She provides all the tools you need to succeed. She's very helpful, approachable, & goofy. Highly recommend her.
Best teacher ever absolutely loved her! She made anatomy a great experience. She wants you to do well and will definitely make time to help! It's a lot of work but I earned a A and it was well deserved! Can't wait to take her micro class!
ABSOUTELY WONDERFUL! My favorite professor I've had at saddleback so far. She is so passionate about teaching and really cares about her students. I can't wait to take her for micro!
She is seriously the best science teacher I have ever had. There is a lot of material and it is not an easy class, but she makes it doable and has a great sense of humor. You have to work hard to earn an A, but it is possible, do the study guides and learn the power points. Take her if you have to take micro!
Mrs ininns is one of the best teachers I've ever had. She is SO helpfull, so funny, and has such passion for this subject. This was one of my favorite classes I've ever taken, and at the end of the semester i found myself wishing it was a longer class. Very hard class but do the work and you'll be fine. TAKE HER!!!!!!
Very helpful! She is a great teacher and wants all her students to succeed. She tells you exactly what are on the lab quizzes and doesn't have you learn stuff that is not on the tests. I received an A. This class is a lot of work and attendance is key although not mandatory. I highly recommend Innins, best teacher I've taken at Saddleback College.
Remarkable professor. Took Micro in the summer, and although it was a great deal of work, she was always crystal clear about what her expectations were re what we needed to know for tests, so it was doable. She makes the subject fun and interesting, and has a quirky sense of humor to boot. I absolutely loved the class and highly recommend her!
I rate this class easy A bc if you go to the university no teacher is gonna explain everything in detail and test you only from what is covered in lectures. I got an A+ in this class, but ended up with C+ at university level Bio classes! (same effort)
AMAZING teacher! She really is the best! I took her summer class, I was nervous about failing, but I didn't; Professor Ininns wouldn't let you. She is super helpful and really wants everyone to succeed. I loved her class, she was a great teacher and her tests were all fair. I highly recommend people take her. The best ever!!!
She is an awesome Professor. If you put in the effort, there is no reason why you can not do well. The labs are so much fun and her lecture exams come straight from the information she lectures in. Take her if you can!
Hands down one of the best professors I have ever had. If you listen, take her power point notes, take the time to study and don't procrastinate, you will get a good grade. Lots of memorization for the labs, but hey, it's Anatomy. She makes the information interesting and fun. She has a great sense of humor. Looking forward to her micro class.
BEST TEACHER IVE EVER HAD. She really cares and her students and their success in the class. Although the material was challenging, she made it easy to understand.
As I am typing this, I am studying for her final lecture exam and BOY IT IS HARD. But as I study it, I understand how much she truly cares about where your knowledge is going. We're going into healthcare and she wants us to know the tough mentality it has. She's a great professor. Please take her. Study hard, but she also lets you party hard later.
She is definitely a great teacher. The material is very hard, but she is able to explain it so well. She really cares about her students and will push you.
Professor Ininns is very helpful and caring. Make attendance a priority because it will affect your grade. Study the power points for the tests. She is straight forward and makes learning fun! BEST BIO TEACHER.... take her!
I took her for anatomy and microbiology in the summer. Although these subjects are difficult, professor ininns does her best to be helpful and clarify. She encourages questions and does a wonderful job answering them. She is hands down the best professor I have ever had. I studied hard and ended up with A's in both classes. Thank you prof innins!
Elizabeth is by far one of the best professors I have ever taken! The class is hard work but she is SO clear on what will be on the tests and quizes. Her lectures are very organized and if you take good notes and study them like crazy you will can get an A, it just takes a lot of hard work! She is very helpful if you need it. P.S. go to tutor!
Professor Ininns is one of my favorite professors. She is very clear on expectations. She has a sense of humor. She is very professional. She made me love the study of microbiology. Her tests are hard but not impossible to study for. Lecture materials are very clear and well laid out. Use the study guides for your tests!
Her tests are very straight forward. Come to lab often because she doles out random extra credit. She tells you the exact concepts and even some exact questions on the tests. She is very helpful, and she even gives obvious hints as to the types of questions on the exams in lecture if you listen carefully. Do the study guides and you will do well.
Amazing teacher! She gives you all the resources to get an A in the class. As long as you show up, take notes, and do the study guides you will be extremely successful.
Prof. Ininns was the most amazing Prof I have ever had. I am about to take my lecture final in 5 days and I feel so prepared. She knows how to teach her students and don't be afraid to ask questions because she will always clarify! Study hard for the LabLecture Exams and you will do fine! Definitely a high recommendation, hard class, easy with her
MUST take for BIO 15 but take only either her or Karah for BIO 11 before taking Micro. She is literally the best Micro prof in Orange County... I would know! Just work hard & ask her anything. She is literally committed to being there for your bio education year round! Wish I had her for anatomy & that she taught physio. Oh & AVOID Charlie BIO 11
Ininns is an awesome teacher! The class itself is hard, but she doesn't micromanage so you can really focus on whatever you need help on. She is really nice, knowledgeable, and helpful. Great teacher and overall person, would definitely recommend!
amazing teacher!! really she is extremely helpful, and genuine. Prepare to be studying a lot for this class though. Ms. innis is a lovely person who makes the class easier, and more understandable. He has quite a quirky personality, but in all one of the best teachers i've taken. highly recommended for this class
Professor Ininns is AMAZING!!!! She is so helpful and clear about everything! She will give you everything that you need to know on the tests. You have to show up for every lab if you want to get a good grade. If you participate and pay attention, you will end up with a satisfied grade. By far, the most helpful professor I've ever had!!!
Her tests and lab quizzes are extremely straight forward (do the study guides!!!). She tries to keep the material interesting, even though it is a lot of work and memorization. One of the best teachers I've ever had.
Amazing teacher!! always clear, helpful and there for you, if you show up and study, you will get an A, don't fall behind.
Professor Ininns is honestly the best science teacher I have here at Saddleback. She is extremely smart and knows exactly what she is doing. She is incredibly helpful and will take the time to show you what you need to know for Anatomy. This class is alot of memorization and it is not an easy A but by putting in the effort to study you will succeed
Easily one of the best professors at Saddleback College. She tells students EXACTLY what is expected of them, including the information they need to know for exams and quizzes. Nothing is a surprise. I took the hybrid version of this course (lectures are online, lab is in the classroom) and I found this to be a huge advantage. Ininns is incredible.
Very tough class but so worth it. Prof. Ininns is so approachable, kind, & helpful! There are weekly lecture quizzes online, 4 lab quizzes, 3 lecture tests, 1 lab final, 1 lecture final, one research paper for the unknowns, & one individual unknown report. Study hard, go to office hours, & form a study group! Time consuming/hard but I loved micro!
Gret teacher for Anatomy and Microbiology. Her tests are tough but she doesn't trick you. Read the book because that will really help for tests! She'll help you if you ask. The A isn't easy but if you study hard you can do it
Professor Ininns is by far the best bio professor I've had!!! She gives you everything you need to succeed. Watch online lectures on schedule. Study a few hours EVERYDAY and do study guides. GO TO OFFICE HOURS (especially for the research paper)!!! She will help you immensely and you will get that A. Lots of extra credit. Highly recommend!!!
I have taken Professor Ininns for Anatomy and Microbiology and have loved both semesters with her! Her lectures are clear and to- the- point and she is easy to talk with if something is unclear. Anatomy is definitely easier than Microbiology but she's a great teacher for both!
I found her to be entertaining, well educated with excellent communication skills. She teaches the material more than once and in different ways for different learning styles. Because we need to hear information more than once to remember it, Professor Ininns understands this concept and embraces it. Acronyms and study guides make good use of time.
Professor Ininns is such a great professor who makes the lab time very interesting and fun. She is very clear about her exams and before every lab practical she would let students set an "example exam" so everyone gets familiar with how the practicals are taken. Her lectures and powerpoints are very helpful and she has a great personality.
She is so awesome. As long as you DO NOT fall behind you will most likely enjoy this class. If you watch the lectures and know basically everything she says in them you will get an A. I really enjoyed this class because Professor Ininns is super helpful and makes it very clear what she expects from you. She really is the best!
Innins is an absolutely great instructor! She's really passionate and makes the material very enjoyable, and labs a lot of fun. Provides good review material and resources to help students get As on her lab practicals. Would definitely take her again.
Amazing professor, definitely take her if you can. Don't depend on google for the online quizzes, do study guides before each quiz & you will pass all quizzes/exams! 1. Pay attention to her lectures & details 2. Stay up on the work; don't get behind on lecture videos or the lab notebook 3. Put in the the time and effort to study the material
I unfortunately was only able to take her hybrid class. Ininns is an amazing person and very well educated but this class was way harder than I anticipated. I've taken physiology and pathophysiology and I found both were easier. This class takes so much time and the material is so boring. She's a great professor but the class basically sucks.
She is very specific on what goes on tests but you really need to work for this class. Do not let yourself fall behind like I did! Its extremly hard but dont skip class if you dont feel like going! Go take them notes. She lectures heavy and it gets boring but it is what it is.
Loved this class! Very tough subject, but she is a great professor. Her lecture videos are easy to understand and she's very willing to help out if you're unclear about anything. The lecture tests are really tough, make sure to take good notes and study hard for those. Highly suggest taking Ininns, she's very kind and truly cares for her students!
Professor Ininns is absolutely amazing. She expects you to put an effort in her class and to know her powerpoints! She makes the material and what she expects really clear and will always help you during class, discussion, and office hours. I would 10/10 recommend this professor. YOU ARE AN IDIOT IF YOU DO NOT LIKE HER!
Ininns is delightful. 1. Study guides are provided, don't buy the text. 2. Lab exams are easier than Lecture Exams; study hard for both 3. Missing class lose points, and you feel incredibly lost 4. Some extra credit offered, yay! 5. Online quizzes nearly every week, boo! 6. One paper, ugh! 7. Lab notebook tedious and time consuming
BEST PROFESSOR EVER! Get ready to work very hard though if you want to get an A.
Incredible professor I honestly could not say enough! I struggled IMMENSELY with in microbiology, but I would take it again with ininns! She genuinely cares for her students and VERY helpful. Go to her office hours if you are struggling! Also be prepared to WORK HARD in microbiology because it is not easy!
A very respectable Professor that understands how tedious it is to learn microbiology and wants you to succeed. She is really helpful and wants you to succeed. My least favorite thing was the unknown project which really damaged my grade pretty badly. Exams were easy if you studied and she always lets you check what you did wrong on them after.
Highly recommend taking Professor Ininns class! She's an amazing professor and she really wants her students to succeed but as long as you're putting in the effort! Micro isn't easy, study EVERYDAY and don't procrastinate or get behind.
My first time taking micro and I LOVE her. Her online lecture quizzes helps you study for the lecture; an organized notebook will help you with the lab quizzes/lab final. Study hard and do well on lecture/lab exams in the beginning. The lecture final is hard. Ask her questions to do well on the Unknown paper to get a good grade. (worth 100 pts.)
I literally do not understand why this teacher has a high grading? Let me first start off my mentioning that offers a lot of credit when shes only offered 15 maximum points for the class. On top of that the credit is about 25 questions for 5 points. Smart mouths when questions asked. Puts subjects she specified wont be in the exams.
she doesnt drop grades just so you guys know. So if you did great on other things but messed up on one thing say goodbye to the A. I would have thought she would be more engaged to help and offer more credit since we are all in covid times and studying and trying to get by is impossible. You haveto learn EVERYTHING on your own. Theres no lec zoom
Lecture doesnt happen. Ontop of that the lab is already in zoom because we cant be in class AND theres no back tracking in the exams or quizzes lol. Because cheating might be involved although we are already watched by proctorio. So that question you suddenly remember and want to go back? Say goodbye to that point. Seriously a joke.
Lecture unit 3 expect 7 chapters to study on because she didnt distributed evenly. Thats like taking a final then after that you have to take the actual final which is also 7 chapters + comprehension. 15 credits offered for whole semester... No lecture zoom meetings pretty much have to figure out on your own
Material is precise and to the point. The majority of the class is lab-related and all material is given on what to study. I had an e-textbook that I did use occasionally, but it is not mandatory to pass. Ininns is incredibly knowledgeable and wonderful at explaining the content. She did a wonderful job with the COVID transition online.
Took this course during the all online COVID fall 2020. It was difficult to learn online, but I got the hang of it. Have to show up to lab lecture. Study study study or else you won't pass. Do her study guides. Lecture videos are very important. Her lab lectures make the class a lot easier. Tough course but definitely doable!
Prof. Ininns was one of the best teachers I have ever had. I have to disagree with the negative review/rant that was written in October by a student. This teacher is far from unfair and is very clear and helpful on what you need to know for test. It seems like one of the other reviewers simply did not put enough time into studying the material.
Not sure what happened with the October class - she's one of, if not THE best professor I've had so far. Subject matter is heavy, difficult, but she's very clear on expectations and what will be on exams. Very helpful, gives lots of hints to remember things. Labs on zoom, lectures on youtube during pandemic. LOTS of info - study a LOT!
I respect her so much for the quality of teaching she gave us. This class was so hard so studying is a must. Weekly quizzes, lecture vids, and labs on zoom during the pandemic. Her lecture and lab tests are fair. People who give her negative reviews just did not spend enough time. No backtracking was painful though due to online class.
This class takes a lot of time and work but getting an A is more than feasible. Professor Ininns really wants you to succeed and makes it known. She's extremely prompt and responds to emails within a day or two. She's also very funny and makes this class fun and exciting. She never makes you feel unintelligent when you don't know something.
I had a full course load with other difficult classes, but she made it so possible to get an A! Lecture online, lab in person. Take good notes, and complete her study guides! All the assignments are necessary and she does not give busy work. She is super friendly, accessible and its clear she has a passion for teaching. Take Professor Ininns!!
Professor Ininns is amazing!! So clear and to the point with her criteria. Wants all of her students to succeed in the course and your future career!! Answers questions very clearly! One group unknown project and one individual unknown project with a powerpoint presentation!
Professor Ininns made microbiology my favorite subject. I had a hard time adjusting, but she was very helpful and very organized. Her labs were always fun and she offers extra credit. Definitely put time and effort into learning her content, and she will help you with anything! I highly recommend her as your choice for BIO15.
I felt this professor was worth a review. She makes things easy to understand. This is not an easy A, but if you put in the time and effort, she sets you up for success. She has great study guides and her videos were easy to follow for lecture (online). Her labs were fun (in person), but you have to participate and keep up with the work.
I loved her style of teaching. She has a depth of experience which make her strategies very effective. Yes! there is a lot to cover so be ready to work but her support and patience helped us in retaining those important topics. I have never enjoyed learning as much as this. Plus she's hilarious and never has offended any of her students.
I took Ininns for Micro and sought her for Anatomy in my track for RN. She's an outstanding professor. Easy to reach, makes material digestible, plenty of extra credit in both courses. A is very much possible if you put in the time required. Time consuming courses. Textbook helps but not required. Necessary info contained in her lectures. High Rec!
She is one of the best biology teachers you will ever have. Her canvas is very organized so you never miss anything. I suggest keeping up with the lecture videos because they tend to get heavy throughout the semester. DO THE STUDY GUIDES. The exams are very similar. she also gives you 3 EC opportunities. She makes labs very fun! great semester!
I took Anatomy with Prof Ininns because of her high ratings on this site, and I am glad I did! This class covered a lot of material and at times felt overwhelming, but her teaching style and patience made all the difference in the world. She cares about her students and gives a lot of encouragement and feedback. Highly recommend!
I studied with her in both microbiology and anatomy classes. Both classes are time-consuming but ALL doable. She is an amazing teacher BUT YOU have to study. You need the make an effort to get an A. I went to her office hour almost every week and she was ALWAYS happy to help.
Professor Ininns made microbiology so interesting and fun. I can tell she loves what she does and wants her students to succeed! All the material is organized and for the unknown project she breaks down what she expects from you. I will say that the class itself is heavy. Forming study groups or simply finding someone to study with will be helpful.
Very kind and approachable, the class itself is VERY Dense and you will have to read the textbook in addition to her lectures to do well. She is always willing to help students and tries to relieve the stress by having very organized lectures and labs. Extra credit opportunities provided. Strict grader for lab notebook.
Awesome professor. By no means is micro easy but she explains everything very well and if you go to her office hours she will explain until you get it. This class is definitely not an easy A or easy B for that matter but she sets you up for success. Her labs are great she explains everything to a T. Wish she taught more science classes.
This class is very difficult and will require you to study daily for the after lab quiz 4 you need to start studying intensely for the lab an lecture final they are both comprehensive finals and have new information on both of them.
Professor Ininns is THE ANATOMY PROFESSOR to TAKE for Anatomy!! She curves Lecture Exams, shes super nice and understanding! She's extremely good at teaching, and nothing on the lab exams are things she hasn't told you will be on the exam! She tells you exactly what will be on the exam! She's also super sweet and caring! I have nothing but Respect
Professor Ininns is strict, set up lab lectures on time, read the material, pay attention to what she's saying, she will give you all the material necessary to be successful in the class and tests. Put in the time, if she tells you focus on something do so. Do not fall behind, follow the course schedule you will do great. Very transparent.
Bio 11 and 15 are tough but Professor Ininns is outstanding and has been my favorite professor at Saddleback. She ensures student success by offering study guides, engaging classes, and genuine care. Achieving an A requires the hours she suggests (multiple hours per day), but it's possible with effort.
Professor Ininns runs a challenging but rewarding class. Her lectures and labs are well-organized, and she genuinely wants students to succeed. Definitely put in the time - using unstuck study and the provided study guides helped me ace the exams.
avoid this teacher at all costs. I was fooled by all her good reviews but she is not kind. her harsh grading does nothing to benefit the student other than prohibit them from moving on to their overall career goal. study guides have 90% more material necessary than the exam will even cover, marks you off on points for everything
I don't usually leave bad reviews but she grades too harshly and expects constant studying, ignoring that students have jobs and other classes. Only those who study nonstop do well because her exams are tricky and she put you down if you get a bad grade. Honestly I don't understand all the good reviews she has or maybe she's changed
Take micro with someone else
She's funny and supportive, take her class. She always encourages you to come to her office hours if you have any questions and she answered email in a timely manner. I know one guy who wrote the bad review and that's just because he took this class while having a job within the same time frame. It's not an easy class but she's making it enjoyable.
She is one of the best in her department simply put. I am currently taking her and she helps in any way she can. You have to be ready to work as she makes you earn your grade. She truly wants you to learn and will reciprocate the effort you put in, if you work I'd suggest carefully picking your schedule so you don't have a conflicts of time.
Overrated.
Such an amazing professor, I took her for anatomy and micro. She's very funny and nice but she is retiring:(
