Dr Fondufe explains things very well and is animated, so you'll stay alert. I wasn't a huge fan of her tests because she asks a lot of the questions that require you to pick what's not right, or the ones with 5 choices, where E gives you AB/BC/etc. Study very thoroughly, though, and it should be fine.

I LOVE HER!!!!!Trust me, you want her for a professor---not only does she teach the material very well, she cares about each individual student, and is very patient when we don't understand the material. Also, she is passionate about what she teaches so it's fun going to class. :)

As a teacher she is nice and there is little work. But you have pop quizzes which you'll know about if you check your e-amil every night. Worst part, the tests are HARD!!!!

She is an excellent professor. she teaches the material very well.She is energetic during class. she is very caring. Go to the review sessions before exams...very helpful.

Fondufe was very energetic in her explanations. She explains well and gives very detailed slides but you REALLY cant guess anything on the tests. It is extremely detailed in what it asks for. However, if you read and know theh text book left and right then you'll be fine.

Honestly is a nice woman and really tries to get you interested in the subject. Makes things easy to understand but i took her in the morning so always fell asleep. Over all she is a good teacher. tests however are not always on what she says. they can be random and hard and specific. MUST STUDY TEXTBOOK! its a hard class if you don't read.

She teaches directly off the PP, and PP is posted online always. I mainly just study the PP and not the book and still do well on her tests. Her tests are hard if you don't study. Make sure you understand the concepts and not just memorize because she asks very detailed questions in the tests. Overall great teacher!Class average on tests b/w 70-75%

Really nice lady; the class is a bit mundane but tolerable.

Great teacher! STUDY THE STUDY GUIDES SHE GIVES TO YOU FOR EXAMS!!! They are the key, and almost always 90% of it is on the exam. Gives 3 exams and 3 quizzes, allows you to drop the lowest quiz and exam grade. Very lively when lecturing and uses hand motions a lot. If you study the power points and study guides, you'll pass with a high grade.

Goood Teacher....alll her notes are online, dont really need to go to class, except for the three pop quizzes andd she tells you when theyre going to be!! Take her easy B...A if you study well for the tests!

Moderate class...lectures are somewhat boring. If you study the PowerPoints and the book you should pass with a B...but this is not a class that you can slack in, there is A LOT of material so be prepared to study!

Fondufe is easily one of the best prof. i took this semester. Her powerpoints are online so u dont need to even get a book.She is extremely knowledgeable on the subject. One drawback is her tests are really hard and all of the information from the ppt is reworded so u basically have to know it inside and out to get an A

This class is not an easy class. You need to read each chapter and really understand the powerpoint slides to get a C or better. You need an iclicker for the quizes too. DO NOT Procrastinate!

She is a wonderful teacher. The first year I failed her class because I never went. If you go to class you will get an A! She has her ppt lectures online which is all you need. Even though she talks with her hands and makes is crystal clear, I did sometimes find myself falling asleep. Her final is just all her previous tests so get the answer keys!

Fondufe teaches extremely well but her exams are very tricky! She puts in a lot of tricky questions on her exams and quizes. I esentially studied and payed a lot of attention and got a B even though I thought I had a B+ for sure any way To get an A in her class you really have to study and comprehend the material not a walk in the park at all.

She is the most straight forward and organized teacher I've had at gmu! Quizzes are easy, tests are reasonable. You do not need to buy the textbook at all, everything is from ppts and no more iclicker. Study the powerpoint and you can probably get an A on the exams. People complain about her accent but its pretty comprehensible. Lecture unecessary.

STUDY YOUR SLIDES. All slides are fair game to the test (there's alot of slides). The book is very useful for studying. Her tests are have some easy questions and some tricky (all multiple choice). Cell Bio is mainly processes, functions, and structure. (alot of vocab). She's not a good nor a bad professor. She should be your "default"(I got a B+)

Very nice lady, I just don't like how she lectures. I don't understand her.. yes you can ask questions but if you don't your alone. Its better to ask questions in person 1-on-1, EXTREMELY helpful if you do. In other words to get a good grade you must look for her since her lectures don't help. I failed this class thinking I would know the basics :(

I never bought the text book and came to lecture 50% of the time and did pretty well cuz ALL her exam questions are from her slides. she's really helpful when you need help and she's pretty loud and energetic which is great for a 1st morning class

She is a really good teacher and is helpful! The nice thing about her is she puts the notes online so I never went to class except for the tests and quizzes. As long as you do the study guides for the tests and go over it you will do fine on the tests.

She is a nice lady. All you have to do is study the powerpoints and you should do fine on the exams. Class is not mandatory...(she tells you when the quizes are going to be)

I had Fondufe for Bio 103 and I did really well in the class. But unlike Bio 103, Bio 213 was a different story. In that class SHE WAS HORRIBLE!!!! I expected the same teacher and same test from 103 but what I got was a disaster. She gets her test questions from a teacher manual and does not think to see if its a hard question or not! STUDY ALOT!

She's awesome. I took her for Bio 103 and 104 and I would def. recommend her!! If you bother going to lecture, she's knows what she's talking about but if you miss class all of her notes are online. Tests can be tricky but study the power points and you'll be fine. Very easy to get an A or B. DON'T BUY THE BOOK, you don't need it for her class!

shes very nice. she tries to explain everything but her lectures can be boring.she has i-click quizes.does not curve that much. you have to understand the material as well memorizing it if you want a good grade.her tests are not easy.you need to read the book to understand and memorize her lecture. she has a comprehensive final

Absolutely amazing. She's very difficult, but also very helpful and will help you outside of class as well. She's awesome and I would definitely recommend her!!

Best proffessor I have had at Mason! Very knowledgable, especially in personal conversations outside of class. Record the class because she gives hints to the exams. Most persons who struggled either weren't at a proper lvl of knowledge for the class or did not come regularly.

Class can be boring if bio isn't your thing. She was very energetic/enthusiastic which helped make the info more interesting. Exams/material are hard; however she gives VERY detailed study guides -- your grade is up to you. Notes are online, don't need the book, and she does review sessions before exams. Enjoyed her class and got an A!

Shes the best, easiest biology professor there is. Why? Cause she knows how to teach. This is the first time i had bio since 9th grade. I got an A. Her exams are easy! I dont know why she has a low rating. Just attend class and read the book occasionally. All my friends wished they took Dr. Fondufe. I wish she taught upper level bio courses.

Excellent class. Never used the book. Lectures are entirely power point based, which if you read them at home/or print them out for yourself makes learning the material very easy. Tests are EASY - worded straight from the notes; 3 scantron tests & 3 quizzes (lowest grade dropped for each) and a final (cumulative). Take her, you won't regret it!

A great professor. All u need to do: study her lecture notes and power points ans u will get a good grade. she is the best and she makes bio very interesting and very easy to learn

Read the book. Study the powerpoint slides--they paraphrase what the book says. Tests are based directly on the book and powerpoints. Not a hard class if you put in the necessary effort. Recording her lectures also really helped me--something you might want to consider. She's very knowledgeable and gives very great lectures.I highly recommend her.

Sweetest teacher ever. She was so helpful during office hours. No need for the textbook bc her powerpoints were word for word from the textbook. Hard class but if you put the effort in, you will do fine. You can tell that she loves her job which motivated me to do well. Take her!

Classes aren't mandatory, but you need to go to understand material. She's a really nice persona and very helpful. 7 clicker quizzes, 2 dropped. 3 exams and final. final consisted of 2 parts. 1 was new material-50 q. and 2nd part was from the old exams. Actually study for the exams. She puts tricky questions, but overall its an okay class.

A lot of people say her tests are difficult but I couldn?t disagree more. A week in advance she posts a study guide for the upcoming test and while she doesn?t have the same questions the same concepts are covered. She doesn?t try and trick you on tests either all the questions are straight forward.

Dr. Fondufe was very approachable and a great teacher. Beware, her tests are very difficult. You will need to know the powerpoints inside and out, and be able to explain the concepts taught very well.

She is extremely helpful. Love her energy and her study guides a must do in order to do good on the test. Don't buy the book.

Dr. Fondufe is full of life and fun. Her study guides make exams easy. Pretty straightforward class overall.

Oh cell bio. The class was fairly difficult and there are NO STUDY GUIDES for 213 so beware. You definitely should come to class; she is an interesting prof with an enthusiastic teaching style. The tests are pretty difficult so get used to studying hard for them. Take her if you really love cell bio a lot. Otherwise...find someone else.

Nice teacher but a big class almost 180 students and even if you are in front sometimes she doesn't get to your question at all....

She's very animated and has an entertaining accent. Class was boring (Hard not to be- large class and the fact that it's biology. I'm not a fan of science). Class wasn't too hard though. If you study well, you should get an A. Don't buy the textbook- she provides slides and study guides. You do need an access code and an iclicker, tho.

Explains everything with clarity and enthusiasm. A professor that actually doesn't put you to sleep! Best professor ever.

Dr. Fondue is definitely excited and enthusiastic about her teaching. Be sure to check the MasteringBiology website for homework as it is not on the syllabus nor announced on blackboard. All PowerPoints are posted on BB as well as study guides for exams. She does use iClickers so remember to bring yours!

Dr. Fondufe rocks. She explains all the concepts very thoroughly with a great deal of clarity and enthusiasm. Her exams are also very easy and straightforward, ESPECIALLY relative to the other cell bio professors. Just paying attention and going over her slides is enough to get you an A with relative ease.

Dr.Fondufe is not a hard professor. You actually do have to put. In a great deal of effort in this. Class as with any other class but tests are right off the PowerPoints. Don't read the book. One exam can get dropped which really can save you. Good teacher. Would take her.

GOOD:Good explainer. Makes class interesting. Simplifies concepts. BAD: Tricky test (easy concepts). Can lecture fast. Focuses lecture on pictures (can't take notes), not worded slides.

She's easy enough if you go to class and do the study guides (and by that I mean actually do them, not flip through them at the last minute). You don't need the book, she puts her slides on blackboard, and not every iClicker quiz counts. The most annoying thing is the online assignments, which she only announces in class.

Class had clicked questions. 4 exams and a final. Study straight from the powerpoint and nothing more, I got an A in the class. All the information you really need to know come from the powerpoints, if you don't put in work you won't get the grade you want. simple as that.

No need to buy the book, her slides are on point for what you need for your exam. Her study guides are very helpful. She does give iclicker quizzes for attendance. Great teacher, one of my favorites.

Really nice, tries hard. Tough subject to memorize everything but her test are tricky!!! She will even admit it, very difficult to get an A I'd say impossible! Go into it reading the book and knowing you really need to READ AND REREAD the questions

Reads directly off powerpoints. If you want an A read the chapter and skim the powerpoint before she goes over it. Her lecture is just reading directly off the powerpoint. Exams are very tricky; average is ~65% - no curves but sometimes gives a 2% or 4% boost on each exam. Impossible to get an A! If you want an A; dont take her!!

I thought she was a great teacher. Do not buy the book, it doesn't really explain the more complicated things at the end of the semester. She only counts 10 iClicker quizzes and you don't even need to be right. The tests were pretty straight forward if you did the study guide.

Dr. Fondufe is an excellent professor. She is extremely well versed in Biology and she teaches well. She is vibrant and friendly and is very open to asking questions and giving answers. No pressures. Her exams are quite difficult. She is good at posting on BlackBoard and if you read, attend class and pay attention, you'll do well. I enjoyed her.

She is great, I don't know how can you not like her. I got a B+ without even putting too much effort. Yes, she reads from power points, so what?? At least you know where to go to find answers. Take her, don't but the book, though. I didn't.

This course was extremely easy with her. All you have to do is show up to class and PAY ATTENTION to the slides. They are what she bases her exams off of. For the final, study your previous 3 exams and you should be fine. Very Easy to get a very good grade in this course B+ to an A.

This class is going to be a little difficult. You will definitely need to put some effort in if you want to get a good, solid A. Study the power points well! The book was never really useful or helpful to me. If you study a lot and really know the material backwards and forwards than a A should be NO PROBLEM.

She is a very nice woman, but the class can get very boring. She talks A LOT especially if you have her for the lab portion of the class. The final exam was very long and contained a lot of information. If you study a lot, you will probably do well.

Great teacher. Slides in class come straight from the book. Has a few easy pop quizzes so come to class. Class can get a little dull, but she was very passionate and always full of energy. Read the book and got a 97 on almost every exam. She adds ~4 points to every exam as a curve. Fantastic teacher. Would absolutely recommend.

She is the best bio teacher, yes lectures are boring and it is hard to stay wake. However, as long as you understand the power points and memorize everything, you will be fine. However, it is not an easy A class.

She is a great teacher. Her power points are very helpful. She is excited to talk about biology and explains things well. Not an easy A class but do the study guides she provides you and you will be fine. She gives you everything to succeed so if you fail it is on you. She is also good one on one. Seek her help if you don't get something.

Extremely clear and it's easy to tell she has a passion for biology. Adorable and funny, perfect balance of fun and work. Pay attention consistently, take notes, study and you'll get an A like I did

She was is and will be the BEST professor so far!! I LOVE HER SO MUCH. Honestly she made bio so easy and explained stuff so well! If you are confused on anything just go to her office and you'l LOVE HER!!!

She's very enthusiastic and loves biology. Her tests are so confusing and way harder than other professors' for this course. Prepare to go to office hours, get a tutor, and read the power points until you have them memorized. 7 iClicker quizzes throughout semester, 2 are dropped.

She is an amazing prof. She keeps you awak during class. She doesnt meed a mic so you will be able to hear her even if you are in the back. She gives you dense study guides, but they are really helpful. This class needs some work to get an A. Dont buy the book. She uses everything thats on the slides.

BEST PROFESSOR AT GMU!!! She is my inspiration. I started off at GMU with her class and she made it the best first year of school. She is very forgiving for the labs and she is a great lecturer . Her lectures were clear and easy to understand. Her tests are pretty easy but you have to study or at least read over the powerpoints. TAKE HER CLASS!!!

Fondufe is a wonderful prof. Lectures are long but thorough and easy to understand. Great at helping and explaining. Material is difficult though, you will have to study for exams. Don't buy the textbook, all powerpoints are posted online and are the source of test material. READ THEM. Occasional iclicker quiz the only reason to attend. Loved her!!

Every lecture is on a power point which are uploaded to blackboard before the class starts each day, very easy to follow along, but also very easy to become side tracked as she simply reads from the slides most times.

She loves biology and she is helpful. BUT HER EXAM ARE HARD and very tricky :) You dont need a book everything comes from the slides and her exam questions are developed to confuse you . Not an Easy A . I wished that I took it with Madden :(

Overall, Professor Fondufe was a great professor. She is easy to understand and helpful. There are three tests, a regular exam, midterm, and a final. She posts study guides and powerpoints on blackboard, if you do those you will be fine! She is a great professor!

Tests were exactly like the study guides- do the study guides and listen to lecture youll be fine . It helps to Print powerpoint notes and take notes during the lecture. reading the book was also helpful but It wasn't mandatory. she helps you understand concepts and goes beyond for her students . easy A if you put the effort and go to class

INCREDIBLE PROFESSOR! Fondufe genuinely cares for her students and is hands down the most enthusiastic lecturer I have EVER had. Is an easy A? No. You will have to do more than memorize the power points the night before in order to get an A, but it's definitely not impossible!

Fondufe is an amazing professor, her tests are directly from the powerpoints so no need to buy the book. Come to class, she likes to give i clicker quiz from time to time. Taking notes in class makes powerpoint more understandable and sometime there few questions on test from the lecture which aren't include on the powerpoint.

Prof Fondufe is one of the best professors as Mason in my opinion. She is very passionate about biology and you can tell by her lectures. Your grade will reflect the amount of studying you put in. Everything you need to know are on her powerpoints so buying the book would be a waste. Genuinely love her.

Fondufe is one of the best professors as Mason in my opinion. She is very passionate about biology. Exams can be hard, but you get what you put in. I recommend looking over the study guide and the powerpoints. She gives iclikers, so show up to class. Made biology interesting. She's always full of energy. Hands down, the best biology professor.

Fondufe is a very lively teacher who is passionate about Biology. Sometimes I would bring my boyfriend to the lectures and he sort of became annoyed by her voice, but I thought she was a great speaker. She was clear with how the course would be and made Biology an interesting subject. I would recommend her class.

Fondufe is a passionate speaker and easy to understand. Her voice will annoy the crap out of you though! Exams are hard, mainly because there's a ton of info. Two exams before the final and each consist 5 to 6 chapters worth of info. Final was cumulative which sucked! Do the online hw! Slides are on bb so you can miss lecture on Fridays!

Awesome teacher, cared about our interests & really let us decide what topics we wanted to cover. Class discussions were great! 1 page article summaries due every Sat by 11:59 which got really old, but they were so easy. Just read the article and cover everything in your summary (without your own opinion) and don't worry if you write too much!

Lectures were a bit funny. You need to buy the code to do the weekly masteringbiology assignments. She gives free response study guides for each chapter. There are a total of three multiple choice exams. I had this professor for both lectures and lab. If you do your work correctly and turn it in on time then you'll get the points.

Her voice makes you want to pay attention to the material. It's obvious she loves biology and really tries to make you like it. Her test are really hard though. She does give out study guides but they're so long. You need to study like 2 weeks before the exam. Always do the homework online, you can fail every test and still pass if you do the hw!

Fondufe was a very charismatic, passionate professor who clearly cares about all of her students. iClicker quizzes are pop quizzes so make sure to bring your clicker with you every class, tests are based off the powerpoints, lectures can get dry but this is due to the material itself (not the prof.). Overall, a clear-cut course and fun professor.

Very good professor. If you want to pass and get a good grade take her, excellent teacher makes you understand the material. Have to work for it but she makes it better and improves chances of getting good grades.

She was a wonderful lab instructor, energetic even at 7:30 in the morning! Her lectures were never boring and I honestly learned just as much if not more from her lab class than my bio lecture!

Prof. Fondufe was awesome! Be prepared to put in a lot of work though. I did poorly at first because I tried to take notes in class, but then I started studying the powerpoints outside of class and I managed a B. She gives a few iClicker quizzes, so be in class for those! She's very energetic and helpful.

The professor is very clear in her language and is energetic. It helped to see her speak in a positive tone and she gave emphasis on things that was important to remember, which was helpful for studying for the test.

Good professor, energetic and enjoys the content she is teaching. Makes things very clear in her powerpoints. Sometimes I lose interest in class, but only because it is a big lecture hall. Tests are moderately hard but not if you study

She is very kind and a good lecturer, though the class feels long and isn't mandatory. The tests are a bit difficult but if you study you should pass, I never study and am scraping by with a B. She has office hours and is very friendly, extra credit questions are on the tests and she is very generous with curves.

Very enthusiastic with the subject. She knows her stuff. Power points outlines her lecture well.

You have to participate in this class. The material's clear cut, but you won't get as much of an understanding reading as listening to Fondufe talk. Her lectures, though, make it not a chore at all.

Tests aren't bad - if you study the powerpoint lectures, you will be fine. She goes into a lot of (unnecessary) detail during her lectures though and fell behind the course syllabus pretty significantly. Fondufe is genuinely nice and cares about her students doing well.

She is the most enthusiastic bio lecturer I have every had! She makes me feel bad for occasionally skipping class lol. If you study the very long PowerPoint and study guides you should be able to get an A or B.

Ok here it is... Her ppts are EXTREMELY long (80-100+ slides) and detailed so DON'T wait till the last minute to study for exams. Go to class regularly and ask questions. She's more than happy to help. There's weekly hw but they're all super easy, just use quizlet. Exams are mc and she gives extra credit. Overall she's a decent prof. Take her.

Fondufe gives good lectures that are easy to follow, and makes the concepts easier to understand. Her test questions often resemble the study guide, however, her study guides are extremely long so lots of preparation is required to get a good test grade. Very fair teacher and class.

Fondufe is a passionate teacher that loves what she is doing and shows she really cares for biology by the way she expresses the content during her lectures. I also had her for lab and she was always very helpful and would happily assists you. Honestly, towards the end I did not show up to class much but just read the lecture slides and you're okay

Fondufe is the absolute best! Biology has never been my strongest subject, but she is so passionate about science and gives clear and effective analogies to help reinforce each subject. She's approachable and clearly very knowledgable about what she teaches. I would definitely recommend her, whether you're taking bio for a gen ed or a major req.

Since this is rate my professor, Fondufe is a great. The class is not hard, i promise u that, but that doesn't mean slack; if u come to class (which u must cuz iclickers) &pay attention &take notes, u'll be golden. DONT FREAK OUT! If u don't, u can just go through the slides on ur own time. that is how i studied. she posts so much on blkb to help!

Her tests are moderately hard, but definitely impossible if you study hard enough! She provides study guides, sample questions, and old iClicker questions on blackboard to use as study material for each exam. Definitely cares about her students and wants you to succeed. A very animated lecturer, and genuinely passionate about biology. Take her!

The lectures were very clear to understand but when it came to the exams she purposely rewords them to make them difficult(she even said so herself) at one point my class average for an exam was 50% I would suggest studying a head of time, she does not do attendance . SHE DOES NOT CURVE.

She's really nice and enthusiastic. Her lectures do tend to lag on, though. She provides study guides and powerpoints. However, there is A LOT of content to study for each test. You need to put in the time to study everything. However, as long as you study for the tests, you should be fine.

This class covers a lot of material but is enjoyable. To study it's really important you split the content into several days rather than crash the night before. I pretty much memorized the lecture slides and got A's on all her exams. I clickers were easy points and usually occur at the end of each chapter. Put in the work and the grade will follow.

She's a great professor who genuinely cares about her students and has a true passion for the material she teaches. Dr. Fondufe can clearly articulate concepts by relating the subject matter to everyday life in an effort make the material easier to understand. She's a very animated lecturer and was approachable too. Totally recommend her!

Passionate teacher, truly loves what she does. Dr. Fondufe puts a fun twist on bio lecture. Be sure to review powerpoints before exams (lowest test is dropped, if final exceeds lowest score) Great base knowledge for upper level biology and chemistry courses.

Professor Fondufe is a great Professor. She is very passionate when she teaches and she is a very nice woman to talk too. Her exams are based on what she teaches in her class. Anyone who is looking for a very good Professor who is fair and very helpful professor, Professor Fondufe is a perfect Professor. I highly recommend her. She is the best!

Tests in this class are killer, so make sure you take your studying seriously and be prepared for literally anything on the powerpoints to show up as a question. Overall, Prof. Fondufe is caring and seems to really care about us learning the material. But: DON'T SKIP CLASS. The powerpoints can be hard to understand without her providing context.

She is a very kind professor. Her lecture is extremely clear and she is more than happy to help you if you ask for it. Highly recommended!!

Literally, if you study her power-points, you will get an A. i skipped almost all of her classes, and aced her tests. just do her study guides and her power points has so much information, you are bound to get an A.

Just stick to the study guides and you'll ace every test she gives you. There's a bit of homework too, but other than that I'd definitely recommend her if you're just trying to pass the gen ed

Super easy class. Just read her PowerPoint slides and do the study guides. The class is all lectured so it does get boring but the notes are online so you don't even have to go to class. Would definitely recommend.

Dr. Fondufe never showed up to class without a vibrant outfit and lots of energy. She is very interested in the course she teaches and wants you to understand. Her entire lecture is from a ppt though so attendance is not mandatory. DO the study guides and you'll ace her tests. I would highly recommend.

This isn't an easy class. You need to work really hard in order to do extremely well because your grades are heavily on the exams. Make sure you study her powerpoint slides throughly daily so that you don't stress yourself a day or two before each exam.

Enthusiastic. She uses her entire body and every ounce of energy to explain the littlest things. She really cares about her students. She drops the lowest test grade, loves her job, assigns online homework, and gives out study guides for her exams. Attendance is not mandatory.

Dr. Fondufe is an amazing professor who enjoys her work and the subject of biology. She always shows up with a positive and fun attitude and made sure we understood even the most complex concepts by providing several examples. She is very accessible outside of class. Exams are straightforward. She's is awesome.

Dr. Fondufe is very knowledgable, energetic, and caring. She really wants her students to succeed and she is accessible outside of class. I really appreciated how prompt she was in responding to my emails. Attendance isn't mandatory but trust me, don't skip class or you'll get behind and be lost forever! I would highly recommend Dr. Fondufe!

Dr. Fondufe is a very animate lecturer, and seems passionate about biology. Going to class and paying attention is crucial if you don't want to study so hard. She doesn't take attendance so I chose to not go to class ever. I had to self teach myself, so thats why I rate this class at a 4 difficulty, but that is the only reason why.

Easy class and wants students to do well.

This class was super easy. If this course is required, then you must take her. Otherwise you will regret. Dr. Fondufe's teaching style was so exceptionally clear and my respect for her was so high that it couldn't get any higher.

Biology is a pretty hard subject for me, and Fondufe did a decent job at making it interesting. I wouldn't call her amazing, but she's a solid professor and you'll definitely pass her class if you put in the work.

easy homeworks and detailed study guides for every test

You get what you put into it. Take time to make your own notes using the ppts rather than reading straight off the ppts. Don't read the whole textbook, but use it to assist you with concepts you don't understand. If you don't understand something ASK questions, wrestle with the concept. Don't give up! Know the concepts on ppt and you'll do fine!

She's great. Like, I had to retake this class because I didn't do well with my first teacher, but when I got Professor Fondufe, it was amazing. She's so nice, she responds to emails, she loves bio like LOVES biology, she's caring, she gives out study guides. She's just amazing. However, it's not an easy course. Study. Just study and you'll be fine.

Very easy class. She will make sure you pass. Just study a little and you will probably get a decent grade. 10 out of 10.

Shes honestly a great professor! Her lectures are great if you have an interest in bio or not. However, your entire grade is based on 3 tests pretty much. There are online assignments due each week but I don't feel like the count as much. She gives out extra credit when classes are small. Overall great professor and totally would recommend.

Super funny and engaging. She understands most of us have seen this material already so she highlights the important parts during lectures-and those are the parts she focuses on exams. There are random iclicker quizzes that count for points but you are allowed to use your notes. Study the powerpoints, pay attention during lectures, you'll do great

I took Fondufe for BIOL 103 and BIOL 213 and did well in both. She makes it very clear what it is exactly that you will be tested on. Study guides are long, and can take a while to complete, but if you do them you will do well on the exam. Offers bonus questions on exams and post all of her lectures on BB. Great professor!

Dr. Fondufe is wonderful! She explains so well and her lectures are interesting. Do her study guides thoroughly and you'll get near-perfect scores on the exams. I learned a lot in her class and if I could take her again for another course, I definitely would. 4 lecture exams + a comprehensive final. 1 dropped. No homework, but iclickers in class.

Fondufe is very passionate about biology. There is no homework but there are i clickers and she gives you the answer to some if the whole class doesn't understand that question. Do her study guides but fill it out with the powerpoint she gives you on bb. Drops lowest test grade with final. Midterm evaluation was a D finished with a B-.

Prof Fondufe is an amazing teacher and person. If you have any questions at all, she is more than happy to answer them outside of class. Bio 213 is very lecture heavy, so if you cant memorize you obviously won't do so hot, but if you can its an easy A.

No need to buy a textbook, exams are based off her PowerPoints and all assessments are on the syllabus. Lectures are fun, she has such a personality!

Professor Fondufe is an amazing instructor. She knows her stuff inside and out and genuinely enjoys teaching biology. You have to know her powerpoints for the exams, but if you come to class and go over them once or twice, you can easily Ace her class.

She was an amazing teacher. You have to sit through 2 of her talking about interesting topics! I loved the classes.

She is such a lovable woman and so easy to talk to if you have a question after class or during her office hours. Exams are so easy if you just study the lecture slides, I would recommend saving money and not getting the textbook for the class because you won't need it at all if you just study the lecture slides a lot.

Dr. Fondufe is an amazing professor. Bio is hard. You get what you put it. She will provide you with amazing notes. Dont even bother buying the textbook. Everything is from the PowerPoint. She will always give 1-3 points as a curve and extra credit on every test. Everything on final is from old tests. She is caring and always have a +ve attitude.

Fondufe has a slight accent but its still very easy to understand her. The lectures were really interesting and she sometimes included questions from the exam on the slides. She also has additional online homework that will help you learn the material.

Mason is blessed to have Dr. Fondufe. She is so knowledgeable and passionate about bio. She will provide students with amazing notes and study guides. Replies to email within few hours. She has respect for all her students. Just make sure to study the powerpoint notes and you will ace her exam. I would take her again.

She is definitely passionate about biology as you can tell by her lectures. The homework on Sapling is very easy to get an A on and she gives you plenty of time to complete them. Her exams are based off of her powerpoints so attendance isn't mandatory. She will answer any questions you may have during the lecture.

Such a sweetheart. All lectures are read directly off the powerpoint, so attendance is not mandatory. YOU HAVE TO STUDY. Study guides are incredibly long but success in the class is based entirely on how well you know test content.

She's amazing. Take her!! Her exams are easy because she gives study guides that are really similar to the tests. She also posts her powerpoints that are word for word just like the textbook, so don't bother buying it. She makes her lectures fun and tolerable, and she's really easy going. Take her if you are given the chance!

The slides and textbook for this class are pretty dry, but Dr Fondufe is so animated and passionate that she makes it (at least fairly) interesting. Very nice and caring, definitely recommend to get through upper level bio classes.

She's a really good teacher. She explains well and tries her best to make everything clear for you. I must admit that her tests are difficult because there are a lot of "Everything is true except" questions, but she gives extra credit questions for every test and gives everyone points for test questions if they are too difficult.

She's one of the best teachers you would ever take. She explains well, is always available for help when you need, is very considerate, and she's so nice. This is BIOL213 so don't expect the class to be easy. There's no easy A no matter who you have. If you study hard, you will surely do well on tests. Make sure you go to class.

Her Intro Bio class is fine but you would have to do most of the learning yourself. You don't need the textbook and the homework is on Pearson. She posts all the powerpoints on Blackboard as well as study guides for the exams. The exams are basically straight from her study guides. She has pop quizes that are optional for extra credit.

Her class is a joke as long as you are teaching yourself. The lectures are from her powerpoint that she uploads on blackboard. The only way you get through this class is if you study on your own. Textbook is a waste of money, the poweropint is good enough. I barely go to class and Im doing fine.

Fun teacher. I didnt need the textbooks because the powerpoints were easy to follow. Pop quizes before tests . 5 tests last one is cumulative . Study guides are helpful but its better to go over every slide again before the tests. I would reccomend coming to class because she tells us what charts will help you and what to memorize.

For my 1st Bio class as a freshman, It wasn't a bad experience. She really tries to make the class fun. This class was more of a "teach yourself" type of class though. Her PowerPoint slides were basically the textbook, so just go over her many slides to review for the test. Even though attendance not mandatory, there are mini pop-quizzes sometimes.

She is a very cool teacher and explains the concepts as well as she can. there are only 3 exams + 2 part final + online homework so you have to do well on each thing. Homework is online and can be done quickly and the tests are gone over in class and she posts study guides.

She's super energetic. Her lectures are like music to your ears. If you show up to the lectures she can have an extra credit opportunity by giving the class a short quiz which will count towards your attendance and not towards how well you know. Her final has the same questions from her first 2 exams so cram those questions from exams 1 and 2!!

Prof. Fondufe lectures are good and so are her ppts. Her ppts are basically from the textbook so theres no need to buy the textbook. Just study the ppts for the exams. Also make sure to do the hw online and study her study guides, and you'll do fine on her exams. If you don't get understand anything just see her during office hrs, it helps a lot.

She definitely has expressive lectures. She can seem a bit repetitive, but this is for student memorization. Attendance isn't mandatory since the lecture power-points are online, but she likes to give out easy A quizzes during lecture and show slide content and diagrams not found in the content online, so beware.

I guess i'm the online rating you're looking for :) I am currently taking her class and it is a tough course. Dr. Fondufe's lectures are heavy but she goes into everything in depth. Gives some points back from exams to help with scores. Lowest exam score is dropped. Final for my class rn is open notes. TA's are REALLY helpful! attend those sessions

She gives lectures with extra information that isn't on the exams, but she will point out what she wants you to recall. (study the images!!) Attendance isn't necessarily mandatory, but the pop quizzes are collaborative and really easy, and give you a few extra points. 5 exams total. 4 & 5 are the final. 5 replaces the lowest of exams 1-3.

Her voice really keeps you captivated! As long as you pay attention during the lectures and take notes on her powerpoints the exams aren't that bad.

Class is not impossible. She's actually not a bad professor you just really need to learn how to manage your time, and be able to study for exams at least two weeks beforehand -since the powerpoint notes are long & takes time to digest. She gives clues about what will be asked on exams & she curves exams which is nice. Just don't procrastinate guys

Since biology is my major, I did the right thing by starting with this class. Dr. Fondue makes the class so interesting, I love her lectures. She is so motivational and tbh if you know her slides, you can pass the exams easily. I enjoyed this class a lot. Also, no need to buy a textbook cuz she covers everything in her slides. I totally recommend.

Not a science major, but did good. Reviewed ppts. & recordings w/ the study guide to pass the tests. Lectures are heavy. If you are a visual learner, no worries she has got that covered (Teaches everything simply). Refer to the txtbk, office hours, or her LA/TA for help. DO NOT fall behind! Manage your time and you will be okay!

Prof Fondufe was the best prof I had this semester. She is such a lovely woman that really enjoys what she does and it's reflected on her way to explain her lectures. She was willing to make the tests open note when we asked her to. She is very patient with her students too. Beware of the lab instructors though! Get Inst Sheik for lab :) he is nice

good lecturer but her lectures went so slowly so our class was kind of behind. lots of details, thus need memorization. the LA's are very useful & supportive. Just study her slides thoroughly & you'll pass the test. a lot of stuff is from high school so it shouldn't be so hard.

Dr. Fondufe was a great teacher! It's a dense class but shes so enthusiastic and energetic that lectures were pretty fun. Unfortunately we got super behind so we didnt finish all the material but she was pretty good.

Exams are extremely difficult. She lets you use notes when it is online because of how much material is covered, but they still do not help too much. She is very nice and knows what she is talking about, but goes very slow. On the day of the final we took the last chapters test then had 15 min break before then beginning the final. That day sucked.

Professor Fondufe is very sweet and kind, but she plows through the material very fast. Its hard to keep up with all the information and to take everything in. The exams tend to have very difficult questions and go more in depth that what we learn in class. Be ready to take a lot of notes on the power point which are usually 40-80 slides long.

She is very passionate and it shows in her lectures. She teaches through powerpoints (which are around 80 slides per chapter), but gives additional information in class. The exams are open note, but study the powerpoint slides and do the study guide because most of the questions are from them. I took this class online, so HW came from textbook

Prof Fondufe is a bang average teacher. It was an online class that she fills with long lectures of 80+ slides of content. Tests/final are open note that are directly from the powerpoint slides. She also gives detailed study guides that are also directly on the test. Managed to not pay attention to class and come out with an A. Easy intro bio class

Dr. Fondufe was very passionate during her lectures and you can easily tell she loves teaching. Arasta, Tony, and Arwah were extremely helpful and you can tell they wanted every student to pass the course. I highly recommend attending LA review sessions for exams (Pay attention to Arasta's review slides).

Prof Fondufe was caring and understanding. Course is graded by very few things so you must do well on the exams. HW was through textbook which didn't take long & was all due at the end of semester. Prof has a thick accent which can be hard to understand online. Attendance is optional. Make sure to review the study materials from the Prof & LA's!

People say she has so many lecture slides but that helped me a lot. I took notes on all of the lectures and all that content was on the exams which made it very easy to pass the class. She's also available during office hrs for questions which helped a lot you can tell she's really passionate abt bio and wants ppl to understand the content

The TAs were lifesavers. Their review sessions saved me. The class was a lot of writing. You don't have to attend the online lecture, and the recordings are all there, it's kind of self-paced. It was hard to listen to the lectures because of her talking style, it was a little annoying. great teacher and great class, study hard, and pay attention.

She just reads off slides with lots of information and has 50 question exams with a final exam of 100 questions. the final exam has 50 questions of the 2 previous exams and 50 questions of new material. Shes a sweet person and quick with emails, but just throws a bunch of information out there with long exams .

I understand why she has negative reviews. However, this class was offered a lot of TA chapter review sessions that were very helpful! They even went over some questions worded differently on the exam and the study guide. Homework was easy just a lot of assignments. Lowest exam grade gets replaced with final exam grade if better! You will pass.

The class was tough, but the helpful TAs and Zoom review sessions were a lifesaver. Lectures were long, and exams could be tricky, but unstuckstudy AI really boosted my study prep and helped me succeed.

tbh, Dr.Fondufe receives so much hate but homegirl is so easy, if she wasn't retiring (from what I heard) you should pick her, yes, the content is lecture heavy and that is all you have to study but at the end of the day her exam questions come from the slides. Her wording is a little confusing, but I find it a lot easier to pass than to fail.
