Dr.O really cares. She explains a lot in her lectures. Quizzes can be tricky but they come directly from the lecture. She makes the class interesting. Test are not hard. She drops lowest quiz grade. I took her in 5 week class and made an A. You wont regret taking her especially if your a science major.

Took her for Fall 2020 (covid times). Prof O is caring and passionate. Her lectures are clear and enjoyable, even online(: Get ready for weekly quizzes which are a helpful practice for exams. Tests are based on her lectures and labs, some tricky questions here and there. I never used the book. Take notes and ask questions. Gives extra credit.

Some of the material was hard to understand, but the professor always answered questions. Attendance is not mandatory, but if plan to miss class you will get your notes from classmates because she doesn't have her full notes on powerpoints. She writes the notes during lecture on the board and doesn't allow for pictures to be taken. She is a great!

Took this class for Summer 2023. Literally just study her lectures and you'll be set for the tests and quizzes. Attendance is very necessary for this class because it is combined with lab, and the notes that she writes while teaching is very crucial on her test. Overall, this class was very fun and I would take it again for sure.

I had the pleasure of having Dr. O'Neil as my Biology 2 professor for the mini summer session. She is incredibly down to earth and an absolute genius. Highly recommend her. The 3 hr summer lectures honestly flew by thanks to her engaging teaching methods. Can't recommend her enough. If she has a spot open, definitely take it!

Dr. O'Neil is easily one of the best professors. She provides you with all of the tools necessary to be successful in her class. She's a quick grader, gives good feedback, and is accessible outside of class. There's occasional homework, 10 quizzes (the lowest is dropped), 4 exams (the 4th is optional), and a final. Plus, loads of extra credit.

Very good professor, she really knows her information and is willing to slow down and explain herself. Does leave occasional homework but nothing too crazy. The only con is that she can be very rude at times and snap at her students with smart mouth responses, teaches great but have tough skin if you wanna take her class.

One of the best professors ever!! She is very enthusiastic and makes her lectures very interesting. The class does not rely much on the textbook, but rather on her lectures and slides. During the semester there are 3 exams and 1 project, plus the final. She has weekly quizzes and offers extra credit. Take her if you are able to!

I cannot describe to you how much I love this professor! Not only is she clearly passionate about biology, but she is a fantastic teacher and human being. As a biology major, this class felt like a breath of fresh air. If there are still any availabilities to sign up for any course she provides, run!!! You will not regret taking her class.

Even though I failed her class she is an amazing professor. I failed because of myself I didn't study as much like I should've. She replies back on time, and provides extra credit. The Labs were pretty simple same with the quizzes. As long as you study and write notes down you will pass the class trust!
