She got off to a rough start but has massively improved. If you do all the study guides and understand it the class will be easy. I liked the class, but I usually had to bring a book to keep myself awake, early morning. She's a very nice person though and is very helpful, she's also accomdating to any problems.

She moves very quickly in class, but she goes strait from the book. Class can be boring if you read the chapter before she goes over it in class, but she prepares you for exactly what is on the test. She is young and needs some more experiance, but will be a good teacher to anyone who wants to learn.

She is a good teacher and is more than happy to help you if you need it. Lots of note taking and lectures are a little boring sometimes, but she really knows her stuff and I would recommend her if you need a biology class.

I loved this class and found it very interesting. It is not easy but if you listen and apply your everyday knowledge to the concepts you will get a lot out of the class. She is fairly young and has alot to learn but any eager student could learn a great deal from her! I would take it again..

Young, but a good teacher. She does recommend reading prior to lecture, and I found it helpful to do so. Tests were challenging, but doable. She allows ample opportunity for extra credit both on exams and other chances. Graded class on a curve. Easily approachable for extra assistance. Apply yourself and you will do fine. Fun & challenging !

I loved this course and learned a great deal!! She is fairly young and the class is sometimes slow but if you listen and apply the concepts to your eveyday knowledge then you will do great! Everything she lectures on, she tests on and provides study guides. In order to succeed you have to attend class & listen, I got an 'A' & never read the text.

Great teacher, wants you to succeed. Lots of opportunity for extra credit. As long as you attend lecture and lab, there is no way you can fail!

Lecture is handwritten & projected overhead. It is easy to add notes from textbook for clarification onto inclass notes. Provides useful Study Guides & Chapter Reviews. Labs are fun & informative. I liked how she uses the Biology material to focus on one's own health and nutrition - very useful & informative!

Professor Richmond is a good teacher. She is alittle dry in her lectures but that will only come with more expierence. I reccomend her to anyone. Make sure you study!!

Very Easy! all the notes are easy to understand! The notes also correspond with the reviews and study guides! the test aren't that bad either, they pretty much are questions right off the study guide!!! and labs if you show up you get full credit! I am really looking forward to taking Micro with Jennifer! Great Teacher!

she loves biology and makes me love it more. all tests are on lectures NO BOOK READING! hurray. labs are fun and easy you just need to show up. she is understanding and nice. loved her class, and got an A. just study.

Jennifer Richmond is probably the best instructor I have ever had. Her lectures are crystal clear and she is very helpful. I am surprised at the negative ratings. She is incredibly fair. She expects her students to study but her study guides cover exactly what will be on the exams. I would highly recommend her if she teaches micro again

Took her summer biology class and loved every minute of it.Did not plan on receiving an A in her class but got one. Don't understand previous ratings. Well organized, helpful,had study sheets,tests were on what we studied.Everything done in timely manner.Wish other teachers were like her.If she taught another would take from her.

I liked this class. Jennifer is an awesome teacher for Biology!!! She is very nice and no nonsence. She was understandable, and was great with getting papers graded and back to us very fast. Summer session was pretty intense, so take this class only if you can dedicate your time to it and take it seriously. NO GOOF OFFS!!!This isn't High School.

Richmond was a very great teacher. Made class fun. I took her Spring of 09. She was the best. Study off the study guides and be in class. you will pass. there are quizes on lab about 10 questions only. She is very out going because she is young. Lab is also fun with here. teaches clearly. If she taught other classes i would absolutaly take it

Professor Richmond is wonderful. If you attend class and lab, and take good notes you should do fine. She tests from notes, and takes the time to answer your questions. I would highly suggest you think about taking her class.

Just keep up with all the work and you'll be fine. With each class meeting, you'll take about 3 pages of notes. Labs are important to attend. All of the exams will be straight from notes.. pretty much almost word-for-word. She's given us points back for rewording some Questions, so that rules.

i took this summer of 08 and it was the easiest 5 weeks of my life..she just lectures and basically writes your notes out for you on the overhead projector..tests were super easy, labs even easier.you cant go wrong with this class.i barely cracked the book open and i aced the class..there is no way you cant pass this class i recommend her to anyone

Great professor. She was amazing took her class for the summer and passed it really easy.

These harder classes are to weed out the people that are really capable to go on to highr education or nursing or the like. You cant just slide by in this class, you have to study. The stidy guides were exactly what was on the test. I dont know how you could fail this class, and I was not one of her favorites for sure. This class was cake!!!

I loved Jennifer. She helps in lab a lot. Yes her class is hard, but I don't think anymore then needed. She loves what she teaches and makes it so much more interesting. Just be sure to study the study guide. It's only preparing us for the RN program

Jennifer is a GREAT instructor!!! She explains the content clearly and will take the time to help you if you don't understand something. She is really patient during the labs as well. Pay attention and STUDY and you will do well. I would definitely recommend her for Microbiology.

Jennifer is a great teacher. Lecture is boring, but you can do your study guide or pre-lab while listening. Yes!she is patient during lab and is helpful. You actually learn in this class. If you need extra help, she'll take the time to explain. One great thing about Jen is when you ask a question (health), she has an answer(not like "Vos")

Great teacher, study guides extremely helpful. She is very helpful in lab. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!

I would def. recommend Richmond to any student. All quiz and test questions are right out of the study guide. Lab was easy, she tells you exactly what will be on each exam, your work is to study it. This is my first A in any science class and I am very thankful. GO MICRO, GO RICHMOND!

Jennifer Richmond is an absolutely wonderful professor. She tells you exactly what to study for. You know those classes where you don't need the textbook? This is one of them. She posts powerpoint slides on Blackboard and you study those. If you do good in the class, she'll write you a letter of recommendation. TAKE HER!

Jennifer Richmond was an incredible teacher! Shes passionate about the subject. Shes giddy with excitement on some chapters. She keeps laughing but teaches you what you need to succeed. VERY helpful in lab and crystal clear expectations. UTILIZE her study guide, study hard and you can pull off an A!

Amazing. She loves microbiology! But just because she is an incredible professor does NOT mean that this class is an easy A, it requires work. If you study your notes, GO TO CLASS, and memorize your study guides you will do great. Make sure you keep your lab book updated although she will NEVER see it, it is to help you. TAKE HER FOR MICRO!!

Great instructor. Gives you everything you need to succeed. Just keep up on the reading and be sure you get the spelling correct on your labs/essay/tests etc.

Great teacher, makes the class very straight forward, she really makes you learn your stuff with her fill-in lab tests (if you study, they aren't that bad). Overall she is very helpful and really knows what she is teaching about. Occasionally she tells us some stories that are interesting, funny and relevant, take her class, wont be disappointing:)

Great teacher, knows how to manage an online class well. The best part about taking her class is her assignments she makes you do, they are very interesting and will definitely benefit you more than a grade, take her class!

I'm almost sad that this class is almost over. Interesting stuff. This class does definitely require studying. It's not a cake-walk but it's worth the effort.

Jennifer is great. Has a passion for the subject. Plan to do lots of studying.

She has 5 easy 10 pt prelabs. 6 10pt online quizzes. 2 100 pt lab exams, 4 75 pt lecture exams, a 100 pt final & about 4 assignments. She gives 3pt EC pts on her exams & provides study guides for all of them. If you know the study guide & can memorize all the essay ques. from the guide you'll get an A. The exams are simple. No trick questions

Professor Richmond is wonderful, really kind & helpful! Class is lecture-heavy & tests are detailed, but she provides comprehensive study guides for all the exams. Just study hard, the class is really interesting! You will also need to buy a code for online access to quizzes, which also gives you access to the text. You don't need to buy the book.

I loved this class, it was very interesting. You can tell that she really likes the subject matter and enjoys teaching it. She is a tough grader and this is a hard class. This is the first class I have ever taken that I have had to spend a significant amount of time studying. There is no extra credit offered but she does a small curve at the end.

If you took BIO101 first, you're fine. If not, be prepared to teach yourself a lot. You can get a good grade in her class if you work for it, lots of memorization. Don't miss lab, you won't pass.

Take this professor! She explains everything very thoroughly and obviously loves this subject so it is easy to follow along. If you don't apply yourself you will not pass but if you want to learn something then it is the class for you.

Professor Richmond is a very smart nice professor. Her tests are a bit tough but the study guide helps a lot! Studying is a must in this class. Show up to lecture and lab, study the study guides and youll be fine. Shes very helpful and very welcoming. Sort of a tough grader but we are just being prepared.

LOVED this class! Professor Richmond has been my favorite Professor so far in the science department. She is very smart and is always willing to help. Definitely have to study but she does provide with a study guide for every exam.

Took Professor Richmond in Fall 2017, but her lectures have stuck with me since. I took BIO116 to prepare for ANAT125 thought it's not a pre-req. She is VERY knowledgeable on what she teaches. Her class had no homework so grades depended on tests and labs. She provides study guides before all exams and yes, you will need to study. Not for lazies.

This was my first college course at MJC, and by far my favorite one. Proffessor Richmond is amazing!! If you ever have questions she is always there to answer them and does not make you feel dumb. She explains everything ind etail and you can tell she loves what she does. Highly recommend taking her for bio111.

Professor Richmond is an AMAZING professor. I took her hybrid class and it was super fun and easy. She is very caring and understanding and will help you with any questions you have. I highly recommend taking her class, easy A.

If you show up to her class, there's no reason why you wouldn't pass. Offers extra credit on every test. Study guides for every exam. Easy lecture notes that you print out and just fill in the blanks. Wish I could take her for every class.

She is so nice and super easy. Her tests are clear and her quizzes are online. I stopped going to lecture because her study guides were so simple. You must go to lab though, but they are easy too. Take this if you need ANAT125.

Mandatory Lab attendance. Exams are based on the study guides and lectures. Hard copy of the book or by the connect (online) book for cheaper price but must have the connect access to submit your assigned homework. A must have professor, and an easy course to pass.

There are connect chapters online that you do for each chapter that helps you get a better understanding of the material. Lectures are long but the majority of the notes can be printed from canvas and you just print them out and fill in the few spaces. Exam reviews are spot on perfection. Richmond is highly organized and LOVES biology!

Enjoyed taking this class with Richmond. Lectures are easy to go along with and come hand in hand with the study guide that she provides. Easy A if you do the work. Wish she taught anatomy.

She is awesome. I had her for human biology and I needed to take it for my pre-reqs. She has a very clear grading system but she gives up full points for labs no matter what. Study what is on the study guide really well. The test are very material heavy from the lecture notes. Make sure you pay attention.

Micro 101 online due to covid and is A LOT to handle. There was about 4-8 assignments per week so you really have to be on top of this class, youll fall behind quick. This class probably stressed me out the most. But shes a pretty cool person, you can see she loves micro and provides study guides for exams.

Her spoken pace during lectures is immaculate and allows one to understand each and every word without confusion. She never caused mental anguish, let us learn at our own pace, managed to believe in our intellectual ability and challenge us. On exams and quizzes she did NOT make the students feel down & out. Very clear study guides.

Richmond is an excellent professor who understands the material she is teaching. If you have a question she doesnt just have an answer she has an explanation. Her study guides are all you need to pass this class. So study it over and over again.

Prof. Richmond was amazing. Must pass lab to pass class. If you skip labs and lectures, the class will be hard. Lectures are clear and informative. She is available via ZOOM for questions. The final is proctored by Proctorial, which you need to download before the final. If you are serious about taking Bio 116, then you will do great.

Took her class in the spring semester of 2022. Finished the class with an A+. Overall a good teacher and is very kind. She lets you drop your lowest test score out of 5 that are taken throughout the year which can really save your grade. A lot of memorizing but what do you expect, after all this is a science class. DO THE REVIEW SHEETS SHE GIVES!!!

Although Jennifer may be test heavy she makes up for it in her lecture, labs and study guides. She sets you up for success, and as long as you show up for class, participate and have the will to want to learn, you will pass this class. She shows a great deal of passion towards her profession and that is what makes her a amazing professor.

Professor Richmond is wonderful. I took her hybrid class. Labs are fun. All lectures are on canvas. Her lectures cover everything, so don't buy the book. She provides excellent study guides for exams. Study that, and you can get an A easily. There are always extra credit questions on all the exams. Replies to emails promptly.I highly recommend her.

Professor Richmond is a great instructor. The outline of the class and the material learned in class is easy to pick up if you are actively paying attention. Bio116 (depending if you take hybrid) requires you to show up to class/lab prepared with lecture and reading information. As long as you give effort, you'll have success in the class.

AMAZING! she is the nicest bio teacher ever, provides a safe and fun classroom to learn in. There are weekly labs, if you don't finish in class you can take it home as homework. The study guides that she provides are exactly mirrored to the exams. She will always help as long as you ask!! Make sure to always study off the lecture slides.

I took BIO 101 with Professor Richmond this spring- she was amazing! She had a very lighthearted personality that was reflected in the classroom, lab, or one-on-one. Her exams are based on each exam-specific study guide, so I would make sure you have learned that well. If I had the opportunity, I would definitely take from her again.

Taken Fall 22'. Prof. Richmond is the best of the best. Not only is she a kind soul, she is passionate about what she does. She is a brilliant biologist which reflects in her lectures and eagerness to help understand anything you need help with. Her labs are fun, tests are straight forward and simple as long as you do the study guides.

Professor Richmond is very passionate about what she does you can see that for yourself through her captivating lectures and lesson content. She provides great structure and cares about your success in her class. For the average student, I would rate the difficulty of her class an 8/10 but for those who have great study techniques, it's an easy A.

I took this as a hybrid course (lectures online, lab in-person)- and professor Richmond is great! Exams consists of mcqs, matching, identifying structures, and xtra credit written portions. Exams are carbon copies from lectures/notes/study guides! Quizzes done online, and cumulative final- Overall easy class- as long as you pay attention!

Jennifer Richmond is very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and kind. She makes excellent mnemonic devices and all sorts of other memory tricks to help her students succeed. Labs were fun and easy.

Professor Richmond was nice, her lab portion is a workload and she grades very meticulously. Her exams are just like the study guides she puts out on canvas so DO THEM and you'll pass. If there is a low attendance for lecture she will give out pop quizzes. She doesn't drop any of your labs so be sure to attend every one, they are 25% of your grade.

She is one of my favorite instructors at MJC. I really enjoyed the lab works and learned a lot. There was never a chance to get bored. She provides clear study guides for exams, which are extremely helpful. An easy A!

Loved her class! Material can be hard at times but just keep up with studying and do not skip lecture because just reading the slides probably will not make as much sense. Lab reports were the only homework given. Study well for the exams! She writes them based off of the study guide she provides.

There was a lot of work to prepare for, but she made sure that we always had really thorough study guides for the exams. She was a great teacher, and I would definitely take the class again. As long as you read the chapters, and study the study guides that she gives you, you will pass the class.

Prof. Richmond made me love human biology, and made me love learning again. She is seriously the best teacher I've had in a long time. Incredible lectures, canvas navigating was easy, the study guides were extremely helpful, and she truly cares and wants you to learn. USE THE STUDY GUIDES!!!!!!
