Great teacher.Very nice and willing to help whenever you need it. Uses different teaching techniques (videos, powerpoints, etc...) to keep it interesting.
Really liked this professor. Gives out study guides for lecture and labs. Very clear lecture and a huge help in lab.Makes sure everyone understands what is going on. Will help you anytime, and is funny too. Made a tough class understandable.
Take Bio 101 with Professor Dartley. Lecture: Excellent teacher, very clear, takes it slow so you understand, you have to study but she wont throw you anything she has not taught. Lab: gives great handouts cause there are no pictures in lab book, goes over everything and makes sure you understand whats going on. Super nice!
A wonderful & great Prof. She provides great handouts. She is so helpful, clear and cares about all her students. She does her best in the lecture , great power point & excellent videos. Take her class, she is awesome. I wish she would teach another class. Love Professor Dartley.
Great teacher, wants you to do well and will help you above and beyond. Best lab teacher i ever had, explains EVERYTHING super clear and is really really helpful. Gives helpful handouts and lots of notes.
A wonderful professor, very helpful and organized. She explains every thing in lectures and lab. She tries to make the class easy especially for international students who have difficulties with English. I recommend her strongly
Professor Jaqueline Dartley is one of the very good science teachers BCC has. She gives the students the opportunity to succeed in her class by giving us study guides and she puts slide shows and videos that help us understand the lecture well. She also gives extra credit and her tests questions are 100 questions but she grades by 1 point each.
Took Summer Session with Professor Dartley. Im not a bio major, so I was nervous. She is the nicest and most helpful teacher I have ever had. Wants you to do well unlike other professors at Bergen. Explains everything so you understand. Gives four exams.
Amazing professor amazing fun class. Didn't want to take a science, but this class was informative, labs were so interesting and again fun! Two exams, not too tough, and one research paper to be presented. Looked forward to going cause prof Dartley was so nice and made a potential BORING class GREAT! Don't miss classes tho! Attendance important.
Excellent professor that I ever had! Very helpful ,patient and understanding person. She gives the best knowledge background for future and many opportunities for students. Also she is very opener for international student- understanding and helpful. Lecture and lab very interesting. Was a pleasure to be in her class.:)
Best class ever! Labs were great went on field trips. Prof Dartley made every class fun and informative. She knows a lot and wanted class to do well. She would stay after class to give extra help. Gave study guides for exams. You have to study and don't miss class that's the only thing that gets her pissed .
Professor Dartley is one of the best professors I've ever had. She helped me love biology, after having never been a science person. She makes the subject interesting and wants her students to do well. She provides thorough study packets for every test that are a lifesaver. Put in effort and she will help you succeed. You will be lucky to take her!
Prof. Dartley is amazing and funny. 4 tests pretty hard but everything is in the packages she gives before each one of them. lot of extra credit to help you. easy labs and no quizzes or lab tests. only lab book required. read the packages and take advantage of the extra credit and you'll get an A. she is willing to help with anything you need.
Professor Dartley is by FAR one of the best professors at BCC. Her lectures make you interested in the topic and the lab work is all due at the end of the semester so there is no homework. She gives 4 tests. I got 68s-69s on the exam BUT I still got a B+ average because of the lab grade and all the extra credit. Over all a wonderful educator!
Professor Dartley is the best. Biology is a very hard class and she understands that. Take advantage of any extra credit or study sessions that she provides because it will truly help you. Don't expect an easy A. If you want a good grade you have to work hard and all her exam questions are off the study guide but you really have do to study
Awesome Professor. She really cares for her students. Don't skip class though. She is willing to help her students and she has study sessions before the exams. All her exams have 100 questions and she'll throw in an extra credit on the exams worth about 10 points and gives two extra credit packets.
Professor Dartley is an amazing professor. She is extremely knowledgeable and also enthusiastic about the subject at hand which is Biology. Professor Dartley's test come straight from the study guide she creates herself. Extremely flexible with her time and is willing to meet after class or outside of class for extra help. I learned a lot.
The best biology professor in Bergen Community College ! We need more professor like her
I just finished the summer semester with Professor Dartley! She was amazing! I would definitely recommend taking her to anyone. It was a lot of work and time because it was summer but she truly made it enjoyable .
Took Professor Dartley in the summer and she was hilarious, helpful, and insightful. Stay ontop of your labs and read ahead and you'll be fine. I would definitely take her again.
One of my favorite teachers ever! The material is pretty complex but she does a good job of making it understandable. Also hilarious. Being polite also goes a long way with her. Tests are very straight forward.
great professor, gives a lot of extra credit and want all of her students to pass. only 4 tests each 1oo questions
very good professor if you're interested in science, if not its very hard! Tests are a 100 questions each, she does give extra help if you need it. If you get a do the labs you will pass
If you have to take bio take it with this professor Dartley. Gives 4 exams, 100 questions each with extra credit. Exams are not hard if you study from the guides she gives out. She wants students to pass and will help you with anything you need. Lab is easy but dontfall behind. Bio can be tough but she explains it in a clear and understanding way.
Love Professor Dartley! One of my fav teachers at Bergen. Explains everything with great clarity!!! Lecture is 4 exams multiple choice with xtra credit. She is always willing to help with anything you need. She met with me after class to give xtra help. Labs are alot of fun. No lab tests. Overall a great class and prof. Attendance is important!
Read her handouts and listen to her lectures, and you will be fine. She gives 100 questions multiple choice exams (4) for entire semester, plus extra credit. She is very humorous and has lots of patience to deal with adult children.
Great Bergen prof, take her for bio. Wants you to pass and will help you so you can. gives extra and credit 4 exams . she gives handouts to study from. labs are fun and easy
Professor Dartley is a fantastic instructor. She is exceptionally well versed in Biology. She is patient, funny and keeps the class moving. She covers a lot of material but gives you every chance to succeed. All of the students really liked her in my class because she goes out of her way to help. You will too.
She is very sweet, if you make sure you get on her good side right away (it'll help you). She hates when you are late, but shes very understanding. Doesn't tolerate BS, and has a very short fuse. MAKE SURE YOU READ HER PACKETS THOROUGHLY FOR EXAMS (they are long and detailed)! Labs are easy and E.C helps a lot!
Read the handouts and listen to the lectures, she's a good teacher . very helpful and gives extra credit. Prof Dartley is very fair in grading . there are four exams and no lab exams. I enjoyed the class and learned a lot
Great Professor. Was always clear and concise on what she required from you. If you want to pass, you will. Professor Dartley provides clear notes and is available for extra questions. Would take her class again!
Prof. Dartley is the BEST of the best prof. in BCC. I am an international student,& mother of two children who are depended on me (regarding their abilities), my hands are full & I have no time to breathe, but Prof. Dartley makes this course a breeze for everyone, u will be blessed to know her & get in her class. Prof Dartley, I wil never forget u
Prof. Dartley is Amazing and a kind person. The course itself is a little heavy. She gave us 4 exams with 100 questions each. You'll get 2 hard department extra credit and her extra credit. Read her packets for the exams and extra credits. This is Bio 101 and 1/4 of the class are getting A's, so put the same effort in class like they would do.
I'm an international student but she's very very understanding. The course is heavy. The exams are with 100 questions each. You'll get 2 extra credits. Read her packets for the exams.
Professor Dartley is hands down one of the best bio 101 professors I've ever encountered and I've had 2 others. While her exams were hard, there's nothing she wouldn't do to try and help you. She wants all her students to do well. Make sure you read and take your own sides notes on the packets, show up to lecture and lab and you'll do just fine!
Professor Dartley is beyond amazing! I took her for a summer class and although every lecture and lab are heavy loaded, she explains the material well. She is also willing to stay after class to explain the material more, if needed. Extra credit is offered. She is approachable and connects well with her students and the whole class in general.
Professor Dartley is very nice and fair. Go to the lectures, study hard, and complete your labs. There is no homeowork. Tests are 100 questions, multiple choice. She posts study guide packets on moodle. I wouldn't say that the textbook is absolutely necessary, but if you want to strive for high grades then I would suggest reading the chapters.
Professor Dartley taught me so much--not only about Bio--and for that I am grateful. She gives out study guides so I would read those instead of the textbook. Her lectures are engaging and she does a great job of breaking concepts down. It was a breath of fresh air having her, so genuine. Take notes and listen up!
Took prof Dartley for summer session. She made in fun and interesting. Five exams, multiple choice ,100 questions . Not hard if you study and she grades right away which is great. Two extra credit assignments that were easy . She is nice and fair and helps you if you need it. Labs are not hard, but don't fall behind.
Professor Dartley is tough but she's passionate about teaching and that makes her a great professor. She expects you to attend all classes and be on time. I would highly recommend taking her BIO 130 class, but only if you're committed to learning and putting in the work required to pass the class.
Prof Dartley is by far my favorite professor so far at bcc. I'm a history major who is terrible in any science, however prof Dartley not only made the work understandable but enjoyable too. I have a new found respect for bio. 5 tests 100 multiple questions each. She drops the lowest test and gives you ec on every test plus the depts ec. Labs r ez 2
Excellent. She is the most AMAZING teacher! The Best!! She is a true teacher. Professor Dartley really wants her students to understand the material. She offers study sessions so you get good grades on her exams. A true gem. Absolutely the best teacher I've had so far at Bergen.
One of the best science profs at BCC. You have to show up and take notes, can be difficult but she is happy to answer questions after class, and is willing to help in lab sessions to. Be respectful and kind and she will be more than willing to help you, also provides study sessions out of her own time for the test. Not to mention shes hilarious!
I love her . Excelent professor . I wish I could take AlP with her
She is an amazing professor. If I can take her again I would it in a heart beat. She is sweet and she makes labs kinda fun. If you have the opportunity to take her do it
Awsome professor. Hilariously strong at first don't worry shes just setting the standard. She switches hats and becomes a big softee especially towards those who try. Prof Dartleys been in the game long enough and has a solid methodology. It punishes you if you don't care. If you care you'll do well.. Don't miss any labs and don't talk when she is.
Four exams. All scantron. The lowest exam grade was dropped. No lab midterm or final. Lab books were due at the last class, and she flipped through all 50 of them while we took the (non-cumulative) final. She only checked the books for completion and did not assign a grade. I went to her office hours often & she bumped my grade up significantly.
Professor Dartley is a great professor. She teaches the subject really well, and she is fair and kind. She gives extra help when you ask her. If you have to take Bio 101, take it with her. Five exams, multiple choice. She gives extra credit.
Bio is not easy but Professor Dartley does everything she can to make sure you do good and pass. Labs are super easy. No lab tests. Just show up and follow directions. She gives extra credit to help bring up your grade. It is not hard to get an A if you study. High School AP was harder.
Professor Dartley truly is a gem. Don't skip labs, it will effect you grade at the end of the semester, do all of your work in your lab notebook. Pay attention in lectures, she really does explain a lot. Extra credit on exams. Do the extra work! Easy 10 points added to your grade. Very hilarious and caring. If you care, so will she.
She is probably one of the most coolest Bio teacher ever. She is hilarious but most of all she cares. Her Class is an easy A, she has packets on Moodle on every chapter. And once you've studied those, the test is easy. She also gives out extra credit packets. Her lectures are really fast but she will have private studies that are very helpful.
She is a real sweet heart, but do not miss class it will hurt your grade. Just follow her rules and you'll be just fine.
Great Professor, teaches whats neccessary and has clear criteria of what will be on the test. Each test has extra credit so there no reason you should'nt pass this class. . The study guide is literally the test. I don't know how anyone could fail this course. She gives you everything you need in order to be succesful in this course.
Prof Dartley wants you to do well in her class and will help u in any way she can. She posts study guides, powerpoints, and videos on every chapter. In her lectures she explains things in a clear and understandable way. Labs are easy and fun. There are five multiple choice exams and plenty of extra credit. I would totally take her again.
Professor Dartley is a great professor, she's very caring and clearly teaches the material. Like any other science class, you do need to study a lot in order to retain the material. She provides study guides before every exam and they are not that difficult. Definitely recommend her!
Amazing Professor if not the best BIO teacher at BCC. Biology is tough and she understands that. Show her respect and you will be fine. She is very caring and will do the most for you if you are putting your most effort. Super funny as well, it was a shame that class for my semester was cut short because of the Coronavirus.
Professor Dartley was a GREAT professor. She wasnt afraid to be a little goofy. Unfortunately, because of the CoronaVirus, the second half of the semester was online. However, Professor Dartley was VERY accommodating and helpful. Keep up with lectures or you WILL get lost.
I took her and she was very accommodating with grading and was hilarious in class. She gives you everything you need but your going to have to read your head off. Other than that you'll be fine I passed because I had a study group so, don't forget to have one in class :)
She's very funny and knows how to joke around. If you don't show up for lab your grade will drop so you have to be present for all. Her class lectures are straight forward and if you need more information of the subject she'll gladly go over it.
As the Corona Virus pandemic hit, and the class was online, which was a first for her, there were some technological issues. However, she is a gem and wants all to do well. Work was the usual amount, just missed out on the field trips. Study, review, and ask questions if you must.
Professor Dartley is awesome. She had to record her lectures because of Covid but they were clear interesting and fun. Every week she would meet with just me on a video chat. I never had an easy time with science but with a little extra help I did very well. Summer session so heavier work load but very doable. Learned so much.
She gives 145 questions for 100 minutes. Make 1 question/min and it doesn't work. When we email her with questions, she's very rude and condescending. Half the people in our class dropped out midway, it was just sad at that point. Please, for your own good, whether that be mentally or your grades, don't take her.
Gives five exams 75 to 100 questions. Its not hard if you study. Labs are easy, online , virtual. Always responds right a way to emails and is super helpful. try to get a group study, its helpful
DO your work, come to class, take your exams. Easy as that. Labs online and 1 lab test. 5 lecture tests. LEcrures on line. SHe tells you what is on them. No suprises. She does test reviews. If you email her she gets back to you the same day. Mrs. Dartley wants her students to succeed and pass the class.
Covid did not really affect this class. Prof Dart is organized. Everything posted on Monday morning. No brainer you know what to do. LAbs mostly online and easy. Lab quiz simple. Lectures fun and informative. Lecture tests were not 145 questions!!! Between 80-100 and not hard but gee you actually need to study. She loves to interact if you want 2.
She's the absolute best and I loved having her this semester. She's so down to earth and made each lecture fun and engaging. Pay attention in class, do your work, try to complete all of the many extra credit opportunities, and you'll get that A.
Great professor. Not a tough workload, managable. Prof Dart is organized, caring, and will make sure you pass. Put in the work, do the assignments and labs and you will do well. There are five tests, a lab quiz, and lots of extra credit. Make sure you hand work in on time. Really liked her and the class.
Had a great on line experience with professor Dartley and this class. She was always available to help and always emailed me right back. Work load was average for a summer class, reading, labs, watched videos, learned a lot about plants. Totally recommend her.
Super caring, nice, goes out of her way for you if you need anything to help you with the class. Syllabus was very organized so no surprises. Lectures were taped cause covid. Quizzes easy, questions came from lectures. 25 questions each, labs were fun, just take her you wont be sorry.
Second class I took with professor Dartley. This was on-line unlike Bio 101. I thought it was easy even for a summer class. Lectures were taped but they were new. I learned a lot more from her lectures than the book. She adds a lot of interesting and updated facts about the material. Labs and quizzes were not difficult. I love her classes! M
Great Professor, had a nice time in her classes, she is funny and connects with students, would pick again Fair amount of homework, long recorded lectures tho
Love Professor Dartley! And you will too! Kind, fair and fun. She a fantastic teacher. You will learn whether you want to or not. She is a fair grader snd gives extra credit. Just do it snd dont ask for more. Labs were easy. She even had a movie class snd bought in popcorn . Wish she taught bio 102.
Prof. Dartley is a blessing at BCC. Ignore any bad reviews because science is not my strong suit, but this class has been my favorite at BCC. She is caring, so funny, has engaging conversations with the class about the topics. If you do the work(which isnt overwhelming at all) you will pass with an A and immediately want to take her again!!
Amazing professor! She is so nice and funny. I would definitely take this class again. Workload is not bad.
i was so scared taking biology, but taking it with professor dartley was probably the best decision i ever made. her labs are fun, her lectures were exciting and easy to understand, and she was absolutely hilarious. her tests are around 100 questions but they are not hard at all. she also gives extra credit!!! 10/10 recommend!!!!
Professor Dartley was an amazing teacher. She really cares and does everything for all her students to get a good grade. Her tests are fair and follow primarily the lecture around 100 questions. The labs were fun and easy. Just do the work, read the syllabus and you will do fine. She has a weekly conference call to help with questions.
Professor Dartley was a pleasure as my Biology teacher for my first year at Bergen. Throughout the whole semester she made sure to keep the labs interesting and understanding so that we could apply them to our exams. Exams were all online and was related to material directly from the online lectures and labs. Overall amazing personality and class.
The class was fun, we had lots of hands-on time: there is lecture time but most of the time you do lab work. Amazing Prof. always eager to help, connects with students, and is comprehensive.
Just take her. She is caring and respectable
Do not take just for requirement. She does say its not an intro class and shouldn't be taken just for credit. Definitely need background knowledge. Test are 90-100 questions. More than half the class failed tests. Not the nicest. Had to withdrawal to not affect GPA. More than 7 students dropped by the begging of course.
Best teacher i have had at bcc. She is caring kind and is always there if you need extra help. Labs are easy. No lab reports. Just show up on time. Attendance is mandatory. Lecture exams are easy is if you put some time in. Just study. she gives alot of study guides and extra credit to help boost your grade. No homework.
Professor Dartley is an amazing teacher. She genuinely cares about her students. She gives ample opportunity improve your grade. If you show up and pay attention you'll pass the class. She's super understanding and is willing to work with you. She made the labs super fun. I highly recommend taking Biology with Professor Dartley.
I don't know what these bad reviews are talking about. The textbook is not mandatory, and if you paid attention, you did fine. The tests do have a lot of questions but that's so each question isn't weighted too heavily. She gives multiple extra credits, is understanding, caring, funny and way more accommodating that she needs to be. TAKE HER.
Professor Dartley is so cool and laid back. Always willing to help. She is very straightforward about the assignments. She hosts Sunday night reviews. No homework or textbook is required. The course is not easy, but if you watch the videos on moodle and read the reviews, you should be fine. Lastly, she gives plenty of extra credit opportunities.
genuinely one of the nicest and caring professors I've ever had. I would definitely take her class again if I had to but I don't so I won't, but if I did, than yeah I would.
I really wish I didn't have a word limit on this, because I have SO MANY great things to say about Professor Dartley! In short, her lectures are awesome, does weekly review sessions, responds to emails fast, AND she's so funny. Plus, she gives you plently of opportunities to tack on some extra points to your tests! PLEASE TAKE HER COURSE!!
I absolutely adored Professor Dartley! She's so funny and really cares about her students. I would definitely tell others to take her class. She gives 5 exams, which are all multiple choice and about 90 questions at most. I love that I took her for my last semester at Bergen. Just take her you will not be disappointed.
I absolutely adored professor Dartley, she is personable and caring and wants to see her students learn over anything else! she understands students can be busy and gives great lectures! I would 10000% take her class again
honestly, she's hilarious, has good lectures, and labs can be fun. if you actually study, you'll pass tests are mad long though
If it wasn't for Prof Dartley I would have never passed biology, let alone get a B+. The only teacher i have had at BCC who wants you to learn and pass. No the exams are not hard. But yes, you have to study. She will help you in any way she can. There is extra credit. She give a ton of study guides. The labs are very easy. And she makes it fun.
Professor Dartley was literally amazing. She actually cared about all of her students and was always willing to explain concepts over and over again until we understood them. She had a great sense of humor and was pretty lenient and helpful during labs. Tests were very long, however, usually about 70-80 multiple choice.
I had Professor Dartley last semester and she was one of the best professors I took at BCC. She'll give a manageable course load and offers multiple extra credits. I struggled during the semester but was able to pass thanks to her weekly Sunday night reviews. Biology was the last class I needed to pass before I transferred out of bergen.
Professor Dartley is one of my favorite BCC professors! She is witty and knows her stuff. I'm not a biology person, but I really enjoyed her class. The work can be a little challenging, but as long as she can see you are trying SHE WILL HELP YOU. Offers weekly extra help groups (I never attended, but I heard they were good). Highly recommend!
Professor Dartley keeps her class very simple. Do your labs and do your assignments. Most of your grade will be labs which she completely walks you through and will always help you answer questions, and follow the lab procedure. Overall, she is an incredibly easy and fun professor to have so long as you follow along in class.
She is a good professor compared to biology professors, but the exams were around 80 questions you would have to study a lot, do lab and she give us many extra credits also I recommend preparing for class try to study everything you take. there is Sunday night reviews and one presentation you would have to do with your group (graded separately).
Take her class if you need bio credits. She is a great teacher who actually cares about her students and wants them to pass. If you try she will help you. Exams are easy and she gives alot of extra credit. Multiple choice. Lab is simple, no exams. You need to do a a presentation. . She actually held webex meetings for exam reviews.
That's my girl. She care a lot about your grade and experience in the class. Fuuny as can be. The lectures were a bit boring.
Just a really good prof. Gives you many chances to succeed in the class. Lots of support if you need it. Answers emails right away. Labs are easy, five tests multiple choice not hard if you study. Just 1 homework assignment. Just be on time. She wants you to do good.
Had a great experience with Prof Dartley. Very fair in grading. She gives extra credit and all the help you need to pass the class. Study guides are super helpful so use them. TEsts are multiple choice, dont wait to the last minute to study and be on time. Labs are easy.
She's the best professor I've ever had. She provides super helpful study guides and a lot of extra credit opportunities. Professor Dartley is incredibly kind and patient. Her lectures are engaging and she explains the material clearly and understandably. 100% recommend taking her class
Professor Dartley is a very caring and understanding professor. If you apply yourself she is more than willing to help you out. The extra credit assignments are clutch and her Webex study meetups helped immensely as well. I'm going to miss having her as a professor, I learned so much from her class! I wish her all of the best!
don't be fooled by the positive ratings… Dartley is AWFUL. She constantly is sighing out of being unhappy with her own life. She criticizes students for asking one another for help, and gets aggravated when a student is confused and tells them to pay attention. She constantly complains about how she wants to quit… well maybe she should!! DO NOT REC
I had a great experience with Professor Dartley for Summer 1. She explains the topics with great clarity. She was always fair in grading. There are two extra credit assignments and some on a few exams. She always graded fast so there is very little test anxiety. The class was calm which is rare for summer at BCC.
So this just happened, dude falls asleep during exam. Prof D. gently wakes him asks if he is ok he says he hasnt slept in 48 hours she tells him, to go home and get some sleep and take the test tomorroew in the testing center. Super nice of her. SHe cares about us.
Professor Jacqueline is a very caring professor, she grades quite fairly. Attendance is very much required, she also does extra reviews after class if you have any questions about her well taught lecture. The only way you can do badly in this class is if you really try not to do well.. Overall I'd definitely have her class again.
Amazing (and funny) professor! Her lectures include everything she finds to be the most important parts of each chapter. All resources you need to prep for her exams are given to you, and her labs are pretty straightforward. She also has office hours!
Genuinely my favorite professor. She made lectures enjoyable and made the content interesting and up to date and current. She also interacted with students and answered any questions during lecture or after. We had some lively discussions in lecture. Lab is easy, be on time. Kind and funny. Take her class and enjoy.
Professor Dartley isn't a bad person, but she is a bad teacher. Her lectures are mentally draining, and she doesn't explain half the things she says. Over half the class was always lost, and you had to teach yourself. Exams are straightforward if you understand the material. Labs were my favorite, but be careful who you choose as lab partners.
Really enjoyed Professor Dartleys class. Her lectures were intertesting and she encouraged class discussions. We all felt comfortable talking about different issues. Tests were not hard, multiple choice and she gives lots of opportunities to bring up your grades. Labs are very easy, just finish in class but she gives you extra time if you need it.
I took Professor D this past semester and she was great! tests were easy, she gives out study guides and reviews before tests. Emails you back fast. She is smart, nice and knows her stuff. I learned a lot and enjoyed her class. If you dont do well you have only yourself to blame.
English is not my first language, Professor Dartley was patient and super nice in explaining everything. She would meet me in her own time to go over the lectures. I did alot better than I thought I would. Labs easy and actually fun. She gives extra credit, so make sure that you do that it pulled up my grade.
Professor Dartley is an engaging and caring instructor. She offers ample support, from weekly study sessions to manageable coursework. Though lectures can be dry, her genuine desire to help students succeed makes this class worthwhile. unstuck ai was a lifesaver for exam prep.
Great professor, be on time, lab is forty percent is grade
Where to start, I would definitely her class again! She cares for her students and she's funny. She's a people person. She's understanding. Her tests are practical but you do need to study for them. You must go to her lab and lecture. If you have a question she'll go over it with you until you get it. Great professor.
Lab is mandatory and attendance, she is big on coming in on time so make sure you always show up on time for lab. Labs are pretty easy she goes step by step. Lectures were a bit hard, you have to pay attention especially for the exams you have to study everything she gives you. She was a bit scary and strict at first but she's great and funny.
Teacher was funny and kind, but do not get on her bad side. She can get scary. Lessons were very long and she goes fast. Tests were long and had unexpected questions making them harder. STUDY! Labs are mandatory attendance! You cannot make up lab assignments if you're absent.
Prof Dartley is very clear on what you need to do to get an A, and she gives alot of chances for you to earn it. Lab is super easy, just show up on time. No quizes or xtra work. There are five exams which she puts study and video guides on canvas. She even has webex study sesh before each exam. . Try to have study group, it helps.
Labs are mandatory and lectures are not but attend because everything is covered. Lol, she is always on time so don't be late. Prof D. is very caring, helpful and gives lots of extra credit work. She is hilarious too, tells great stories. Study for the exams, show up prepared for lab, and you will get a better grade than you thought you could get.
Amazing professor! She seemed tough at first but throughout the semester she gave the class many opportunities to do well. Her exams weren't hard but you have to study consciously to do well. Professor Dartley is not only an amazing professor but she has a big heart as well. You won't regret taking her class.
Great professor! She's funny, clear, and makes biology enjoyable. Just be on time, especially for labs she will take points off if you're late, and follow instructions. If you show her respect, she'll respect you back. Study regularly and you'll be fine. As long as you put in effort, she's fair and wants you to succeed. Highly recommend!
Overall a fantastic experience. She is there to help you get thru bio if it is not your thing. Lecture tests are not hard if you are prepared. Try to have a study group. Labs are easy and fun. Read the lab before go in prepared. No lab tests just a short presentation to give. No homework. What else could you want!
She is really does try to make labs easy for everyone. If you are friendly with you, she is a blast to be around.
If you crave challenge and independent learning, look elsewhere. But if you love structured guidance and crystal-clear instructions, you're in luck. Just don't be late, and definitely don't test her patience. It's basically high school—but now you're paying for it.
Clear from the start about what's expected from you. Organized and grades fast. Made summer session easy and I'm thankful for that. Exams are basic and she gives reviews so pay attention. Multiple choice . She will help you if you ask. Super nice.
As long as you are a respectful and competent student,you should have no issue receiving an A in this class.She offers plenty of extra credit and her test align well with the content she covers. Each test is about 70 mcq and they'll be a couple that are close reading based which are annoying. But students can easily score at least an A-on each exam
