If you want to actually learn then Dr.B is for you. Heavy work but provides lots of helpful material. Some Connect assignments can go up to 100+ questions but focus on repetitive topics so you actually remember the content well. She can be slow with emails but does weekly announcements to make class interactive. I took an 8W class & got an easy A.

I would advise students that she has students watch lecture videos 1hr+ long, and write notes based on the video. IMO it takes a lot of time off when you have other classes to work on and study for, so I'd suggest not taking another science class along with hers. She's a dedicated professor and doesn't mind explaining things in class.

She was very funny! I took the course in person, but we did all our lecture notes online at home. I personally wasn't a fan of this because it was hard for me to fit long videos into my schedule. However, this did allow for the whole class time to be lab and a lot more application based. Overall, I would take her again!

Lovely professor, but Lengthy lecture videos to watch at home before coming to class. A few times, class felt disorganized and time in class was not utilized to its highest potential for learning (sidetracked/off topic). Two separate tests per Unit (one at home multiple choice, one in class open-ended). Take all extra credit and attend all classes.

This class will require a lot of your time outside of the classroom. I would not recommend this class if you are taking multiple classes. If you can solely focus on this class, you can be successful, but know that it will require hrs of study per week. class is also exam heavy so consider that as well. Other than that, you should be good.

Lectures notes are a bit lengthy and required but taken at home during your own time and allow for class time to be utilized more effectively. It is not an easy class (at-home exams are easily failed) but if you keep up with the work, you'll be alright! Professor was a pleasure to have, very knowledgeable on the subject.

Good class, Dr B is very smart. The notes are taken at home & long but necessary. Class time spent by doing activities that help with learning info covered in the videos. Only complaint is the amount of tests. We had 12 exams: 4 in class (FR) , 4 at home w/ cam (MC), 3 lab practicals, & final. Maybe the in-class & at-home can be combined into one.

This Professor is a great human! I think she truly tries her best with the class. This class is exam HEAVY! You will be taking 4 additional exams then what you would do in another prof class. You will spend 1-4 hours watching videos at home. Plus she's going for a degree herself so I think she got distracted during our semester.
