Gen Bio is a HARD class. She is very helpful,extra credit available every test. Doesn't use power points, writes/draws on the board. Very animated during lectures and keeps you interested. No way is this class an "easy A" but that is because of the material. I would take her again for any science class!!!!!!!

Micro is Not an easy subject to take; with that said Porf. boyce does an amazing job teaching such dense material. I did not need to open my text once because she literally teaches what you need to know for tests and quizzes in her lectures. She gives you excellent study guides for practicals and Exams. Hilarious and passionate in her lectures.

Outstanding professor & person. How she made a Microbiology class that lasted 3 hours with lecture/lab feel like a breeze is a talent I wish every professor had. Have taken her for Bio1 and Microbiology, & she never fails to make the class understandable & enjoyable, plus she's straightforward with what's going to be on the test & her expectations.

BEST PROFESSOR EVER!! Honestly I picked her for micro two years ago and highly thinking about saving up $400 to take this class again with Boyce lol! That's how great she is! Super fun and hilarious and you learn SO much!! You do have to work for your A, but seriously as long as you make it to every class and put in the effort you'll be fine!!

Professor Boyce was my favorite professor - this was the only class where I really enjoyed lecture and retained the information. Students make you fear taking microbio, but taking it with Boyce makes it very do-able if you study & make an effort. Exams are very detailed but she covers everything in her lectures, so write everything down.

Prof. Boyce is such a great teacher I wish she could teach all the subjects at Seminole State. You can earn an A, but will need to put in the work by coming to class and studying. Prof. Boyce is very caring and understandable, if you do not get an A in her class their is something wrong because she gives you all the material to succeed in her class

Professor Boyce is the best professor I have taken and makes a hard subject like microbiology feel very doable as long as an effort is put forth on the students part. Attend every class, complete and study directly off of her test reviews and you can achieve an A. She is excellent at making the material feel very relatable and understandable.

If I could give her a 10000/10 I would. I had so many obligations this semester and had to be late many times. She never made me feel bad about it and was very helpful. This was one of the hardest classes so far because of everything I had to do. I got an A that I earned. If you read the PPT, and take notes you will love it here. Exceptional human!

Great professor! Like everyone says she made Microbiology fun and interesting to learn. Since it is a more difficult subject there was work involved, not an easy A. You don't need the textbook as she gives you ppts to study. I had friends with other professors and it seems Boyce has more extra credit and less projects. I would take again 100%!

Prof Boyce was only subbing for BSC1010, but I'm so glad she did. Her teaching is comprehensive, more so than the book. Show up, take notes, listen to her funny anecdotes and you will pass. I had a family emergency the first 2 weeks of class and her level of empathy and understanding also makes her an incredible teacher.

She is a nice professor, but she grades too toughly. In this class you're expected to learn bacteria name, Agars, lab steps and much more but you CAN'T make a simple spelling mistake or is automatically wrong. Even if you study her study guide you're still bound to fail because is 50% study guide and 50% of something she could've mentioned.

If you don't pass the exams then you will most likely fail. Her quizzes are so inconsistent. She is good at explaining things but she was so negative towards my class and not very motivating. I missed about 4 classes out of the 32 class in the term and she gave me 0 for the attendance which brought my grade down a lot. I've had better professors.

This professor expects too much, way over the top and is negative. Prepare to dedicate your entire life to this class because if you don't you will fail. Also prepare to spell words correctly for all the lab quizzes and exams, if you're off by one letter she takes points away. Tests and quizzes are numbered and ordered weirdly, watch out for those.

I wish I could say she's a great professor as these reviews said but I don't see it. Her outlines did not help me at all. To pass this class, expect to learn on your own AND GO IN DEPTH of what is on her outline or power points. Pp glitches to where words overlap, hard to read. She's passionate and energetic but not a very good professor.
