She is very personable, get to know her. Go to class!!

Really nice...enjoyed the class.

Nice...Moves fast, assumes you know more than most do. Fairly easy.

Very boring at times. Good class in general.

She's passionate about the subject, but tends to be repetitive.

She is very helpful if you ask for assistance, and you will have to, believe me!

very nice woman. great teacher. fair but not easy. very useful class btw.

She is a great and fair teacher

she was very energetic, kind & fair. great teacher!

Nice teacher, really wants you to be interested in bio. Not too bad a class.

Lot of material and hard tests but if you study you should get no lower than a B

V.Easy+interest'g. Helpful. Luv's subject. Totally inspired me! Only 3 sh ass'ts

difficult exams,VERY helpful prof, curves at end if you go for extra help often

Piece a cake!Interesting tho'.Don't need to study much.

Likes to teach, tests are right from notes

Very good prof; helpful, nice, gives good notes. Study hard you'll be fine.

Funny, enthusiastic, but tests are HARD!!! Material may be hard to follow, read

Very enthusiactic and funny, pay attention in lecture and take great notes.

great lady... very personable

Easy class if you attend regularly. Tests from notes, very enthusiastic.

WONDERFUL lady!! very nice, easy tests, go to class and take notes

I am a senior FINC major and got the easiest A in her class. She is awsome!

easy class...hard but fair tests...nice lady...easy b...

Great lady but I died to pull a C. Study every day! Take great notes!

nice lady, straightfoward powerpoint, but study REALLY hard for tests

Nice lady, knows her stuff, clear notes for the most part, pretty easy

Excellent notes and test questions taken right from notes. Helpful with clarity

Have to pay attention in class, she can be confusing but overall good

Easiest Science class you will ever take...also very interesting, go to class

easy class. go to lectures to pass, the books are useless

not too difficult a class. very helpful. likes to make jokes about herself

Very nice lady, notes kind of confusing and tests not all that easy.

Interesting woman, slept through every class

Test aren't so bad, but so much info it becomes confusing. Great lady will bend over backward for her students.Lab is a pain.

Must go to class for lecture notes, doesn't cover all of chapter material, tests are fairly easy but some tricky questions, helpful TA's though

Great textbook (helpful prof & study guide too) and clear lectures. Tests horrifyingly easy and directly from lectures. CD with book will give you test questions almost identical to exams. Labs book written atrociously badly & TA's poorly trained.

Cares about what she is doing. Rare at this university.

She is so sweet and nice. Tells jokes but they usually are corny. Her tests are pretty easy just look at notes. Don't take Smith. Take NOBLE-HARVEY, you'll love her!

Nice lady. Go to class, do study guides. Tests are ok, just memorization. Labs are ok, depends on TA.

very interesting

Nice lady, sense of humor, has a spirit of a student (happy to get days off, tries to keep things simple for students). Tests only what's covered in lecture. pretty logical progression of lectures. Rather fast with notes tho.

Great Professor!!! A on first test!!

nicest lady ever...great personality and will always go over something again if you don't understand

I love her voice!!! She is a great teacher

An extremely good teacher. Teaches materials for students to learn. Test fairly- not too difficult. Highly recommend!

Learn a lot of information. Good teacher. Her tests are tricky, and you must really understand the information its not just based on pure facts.

Easily my favourite teacher. Just an overall great person, a real pleasure to have as a teacher.

Not a bad teacher, but boring at many times. Exams weren't too bad as long as you studied.

My favorite professor- couldn't be a nicer or more helpful woman! She loves her students and would do anything for them! Test can be tricky though. Super-dooper highly recommended!!!

Not an easy class, but Dr. Noble-Harvey is a great professor. Her lectures are very clear and understandable. She is very helpful and really nice. Just make sure you study hard for the exams.

Sometimes i think shes ****, but shes a good teacher. her jokes keep me awake

Noble-Harvey was a hard professor. She had really weird jokes that actually kept me awake..but tests are so tricky!!!!! study those lecture notes, and if you have questions ask them! she tends to pull things out of her butt on tests, so be ready..and good luck!

Lots of work, but it is a writing class. PBL based which is both good and bad. Very nice Prof. Keep up with the work and get a good grade.

dr. noble harvey is a really sweet lady and she wants her students to learn the material and be excited about biology. procrastinators should not take this class - you HAVE to start studying for her exams at least the week before them. go to lecture, read, and absorb the material - you'll pass

Loves the topics she's teaching and is excited about the class, but if you fall asleep easily.. do NOT take her. LIGHTS OFF and OVERHEAD ON the WHOLE time! .. tests were WAY too hard. I took great notes and would study a week before.. and still pull C's... Nice, but hard. Do not recommend...

Tough class. You wont get higher than a C unless you MASTER the material. Her tests were sooo tricky and confusing. This class will make you work for that C. Use your textbook for studying religously

She tries to make lectures as non-boring as possible, and she is a nice funny lady. Tests are fair, but you need to study the notes and stuff from the book thoroughly. Labs are actually fun, but not easy. Weekly quizzes and lab reports plus hard lab final. A relatively easy "B", and I'm a frosh!

TAKE HER! The other ppl who commented dont know what they are talking about,its either her or dr. smith and you do NOT want him.3 exams based right off notes,take good notes in class,dont study book,have to memorize a lot of notes,but its better than reading about stupid microorganisms,highly recommended,easiest bisc teacher at this school

This was a hard class...Dr. Harvey is pretty good compared to the stories I've heard about the other professors. But be prepared to work hard for an A. The text book is an indecipherable joke. Her tests are often much more specific than her lectures would prepare you to expect, which is why people say she is tricky. Just study everything.

Took the course online...she's a cute little lady-a bit boring...you will get an A--just watch the lectures once.

The notes are completely unorganized, making it almost impossible to study effectively for exams. The lectures can be pretty interesting, though, if you aren't too concerned with trying to make sense of her overheads or the logical order of topics. She's willing to help you out if you need it.

great prof, notes and lecture are sometimes hard to follow, but i think that is because she gets so excited about what she is teaching, she is really into it, tests are fair, difficult if you don't study enough, if you know the material well, you'll get a B, hard to get an A. i would gladly take her for any Biology class. She's cool too.

Definitely a good professor. Her lectures can be unclear sometimes, but if you ask questions, she tries her best to answer them well. She gets really excited about the material which is great. 3 in class exams, 50 questions Multiple choice--not hard if you study...but she includes a couple of questions that were minor details she didn't focus on

Def. do not take Mahaffy over Noble-Harvey. Yes, her overheads are sometimes unclear and out of order, but if you read the book and then read her notes, it all makes sense. Start studying a week prior to the exam and you should manage a B. Get old exams from someone if you can...helps a lot!

She is definetely a great professor. Her exams are right out of lectures, so study the lectures, and only refer to the book for diagrams. If you worry about the nitty gritty stuff in the book, you'll miss the big picture in her notes and will not do as well as you would if you just studied the lectures. Take her!

She loves what she does and she is very nice. For this class you need to study your notes well and it wouldnt hurt to know what the next chapter is about so read. It will make your semester easier trust me...She is most likely the best professor for BIO

Great class. Very interesting.

So, the lectures are pretty interesting and she has an enjoyable personality and likes to make jokes. I really enjoyed her class a lot but the test questions were sometimes hard and tricky. Seems to be the best Bisc207 teacher - I am trying to get her again for micro.

I don't think her lectures are as boring as other people say. Her tests are definitely tricky. You have to read the book and teach yourself some of the stuff, because the tests always cover more than what's in the lectures. She's a really nice person. She let me take the final late because I got stuck in traffic on the way there.

Oh man, take this class. It's so freaking interesting and you learn so much. Plus, she's really cute to watch on video and makes cute little jokes- even if they aren't funny theyre still cute. And, the class is really easy for non science majors and she answers e-mails very promptly. One of my fav. classes at UD and I really am not a science fan.

Took as distance learning elective. Would recommend if you like bio--or even if you don't. Overall and interesting class. Easy to understand and easy to contact if there are questions. One of the best bio professors I've had. 4 Exams but they are straight forward. :)

Very sweet Lady, great explaination of topics, made slides available online. NO BOOK TO BUY :D I recommend attending class, she doesn't take attendance, but it helps a lot to see the slides explained. It also helps to print out slides and take them with you to add notes in the margins. The tests are slightly hard, but study and you'll do well!

I took this class online and most of the material is generally interesting. The exams were tough though. You really have to comb through your notes and find the most important things from each topic. Use the first test as a buffer bc she drops the lowest exam. 3 Assignments dont help your grade that much, maybe by a point or two, if that.

as long as you go to class and take good notes, you'll do fine. her tests can be tricky if you don't read carefully and think through the question.

Go to class and take good notes and you'll be fine. Hilarious woman. Lab, on the other hand, is not very much fun.

I had this professor for an online class, so I never axtually witnessed some of the things that others didn't like about her. She always answered my emails and she seemed very thorough with her lectures. There was no textbook, so I only needed to study notes for the exams. Tests really aren't that hard, for the online class anyway.

I had her for BISC 207 and it was not nearly as bad as i thought it would be. She's funny and nuce for the most part. Go to class and be prepared to take good notes. Study them well and you should do well on the tests. Lab was a little painful at times but ended with 3 or so weeks left in the semester :)

she is a great teacher, very useful. Her exams can be difficult if you haven't matererd the right way to study for them. ALWAYS attend class because her notes are VITAL. Overall rating of a C, not too easy, and not impossible. Not a teacher you should avoid. Shes happy, and loves biology.

she was a good teacher! she was helpful and always made funny jokes. her class was not that difficult. you only have to know the stuff she says in lecture. and if you read over the topics she goes over in the text book, you'll do fine.

This was the easiest class i've ever taken. as long as you take notes on what she says as well as what she draws on her overhead, you will do fine. all her tests are just multiple choice, and if the class does really bad she will curve it--but dont count on the curve, because its rare. Definately a GPA booster

Her tests are impossible. She tells you that the tests are straight from the notes, but that clearly isn't the case. Take someone else if possible! AVOID!

She is extremely hard, try to avoid if possible. Her notes don't help at all. Take practice tests on textbook website because she sometimes takes questions from there and puts on test. Textbook is necessary.

she's very nice and very goofy, but very tough. make sure you attend class and take good notes. lab is pretty easy if you have a good TA but the lab final is impossible. overall not bad.

Attend class, take notes, and you will be fine. The exams make you think, but really are not that bad. She actually has a sense of humor and gives analogies that really help understand the concepts. I really enjoyed taking bio with her.

An A is definitely possible, but you will have to study hard for it. I studied for hours and hours before exams, mostly out of the book. Probably the hardest of the BISC 207 teachers, but you'll really know your bio afterwards.

She's really nice but the tests are tricky and class is kind of a waste of time. I would probably take micro with Smith instead.

I don't understand all of the negative ratings...I found Dr. Noble-Harvey to be one of the best and easiest professors I've had this year. Tests are straightforward and straight from lecture notes, you don't have to read at all. Also, she was the only professor who made an effort to get to know me this semester, which was very much appreciated.

Professor Noble-Harvey is a great professor. If you pay attention in class and study the lecture notes, BISC207 is an easy A.

If you're a good student, there is no way you'll get less than an A in this class. There are no surprises on the exams. None. The material is either A) from the lecture notes or B) from the parts of the text she directly told you to read. If you struggle with this course, do yourself a favor and change your major.

This class is so easy, especially if you have taken AP Bio. Every test comes straight from the powerpoints, and they are all multiple choice. She is a nice, funny lady, but talks slowly, so lectures are a little boring. Few homework assignments that she makes a big deal out of, even though they take no more than 10 minutes to complete.

Reads directly off of the slides each class, print them out to take notes on. She gives 4 tests and a final, the tests are tricky (use biology companion website to study) but the final is cumulative and easy. Going to her office hours shows her you care about your grade, it helps!

This class in general is tough, especially if you haven't had AP bio, or a 100 level bio course like me, but Nobel-Harvey wasn't all that bad. Her exams are basically from the powerpoints, although reviewing the book is helpful. She also sneaks in some humor into her mostly boring lectures. Overall, not a bad professor at all.

Dr. Noble-Harvey is one of my favorite professors I've had at the university. This class is problem-based, so it's incredibly interesting and engaging. She is really funny and kind; she does have high expectations, but that's because she believes that her students can do the work. Would you want a professor who thought you were stupid?

Tests are fair and relatively easy if you study all your notes and read the chapter. She is an extremely sweet woman, and very quirky. Sometimes she might not be too clear, her power points are all you need for the exam. Use the textbook to back up anything you dont understand.

She is very unique to say the least. Honestly can either be the rudest person or nicest person, and that depends on how you treat her. Be nice, study hard and an A is not out of reach. Always go to class for assignments and do not overlook them as easy points. 50 MC questions on all 3 exams, 100 MC on final. Lab is easy, yet hard to get 100's

Nice lady. Is clear in lectures and is patient with those who have questions. Tests require you to take very good notes, b/c detailed exams. Only used the book once for a quiz. Only brutal parts of the class are the lab and final(cumulative). Lab is brutal for a mistake can impact experiments that take weeks to finish. Also, agar is limited.

She's a funny lady. Quirky and talkative too. The material is challenging, but she's very helpful at office hours, and exams are intense but cover the material from the power points. The book helped clarify, but you could get by with just studying the powerpoint. Interesting class. Worth taking if you're curious about bacteria haha

Her quirky personality made lecture more fun. Can get as low as a 91 for an A which was pretty sweet. Didn't take notes during class. Just go through the slides multiple times a few days before the exam (averages 80; 2 50-MC tests and final) Although we're not used to long labs, this one was worth it. Would recommend to Bio majors pre-meds.

This class has difficult tests, but if you study the information and understand it versus memorizing, you should do fairly well. Reading before class is very helpful. Three difficult tests and a final. Tests are curved. All material covered in lecture is fair game for the test unless she says that she doesn't want us to know it.

Don't buy the book. Just go to lecture and take notes/study the slides. This class was easy if you study. Nothing on the exams that isn't covered in lecture. The complaints about confusing exams are probably coming from the students in class shopping for clothes on their laptops or on FB during the lecture. Exam ?'s are easy if you know the info.
