Jennifer is one of a few good professors to come on campus recently.her lectures focus on important details and she uses images and common ideas to help engage the students.her labs are tough along with the assignments.she excepts no late work.expectations for college students, but she is very helpful.not to mention she's cute when she's giggling!

Be prepared for quizzes every day, very hard exams, and no breaks my class average was in the low 70%

The class is NOT EASY! Jennifer's favorite course of the year, and you know what that means... agressive grading on assignments, quizzes, and exams. Lab doesn't help either. Jennifer is one professor who is willing to help out and is concerned on the performance of the class. BE ADVISED, BE READY TO STUDY HARD!

good teacher, organzied, intelligent, will explain concepts. but you have to say that you dont understand. interesting class, fun field trip, make sure you do the homework, and study.

Great teacher! quizzes every monday on the lecture material(only)from the previous week. Tests have 20 multiple choice questions and the rest short answer. Tests tend to have hard to understand questions, but typically not that bad. Just study the notes a lot and visit her during office hours and you'll be fine.

Good teaching style. She writes everything on board that need to know for lecture exam. Quizzes each week for both lecture and lab but this really prepares you for exams. Very accessible teacher and she wants students to understand and succeed. Took night class and her energy made it possible to stay awake.

Very nice. Labs where fun, expect A LOT of work to get a good grade in this class. Not an easy A. Good teacher though, one of the few I have really learned something from.

Jen is a great teacher.Her enthusiasm is contagious.She has a real passion for what she teaches.

Hard class. Lots of work required. Jen is a good teacher though.

Schramm is a good teacher come to class and pay attention and you won't have to read the book. Alot of little things to do but very little really hard homework.

A fun class, good teacher. Book reading was never required, I never used mine. Group project was ridiculous. Tests are difficult so pay attention during lectures. Don't try the field trip unless you can climb cliffs and hike a couple miles uphill in sand and mud (but it was still fun).

Very challenging exams. Quizes were very helpful. Was able to make biology interesting to me. Kept me interested. A lot of group work in lecture. Very approachable and enthusiastic and wants you to succeed in her class. You knew what to expect on the exam but expected a lot of detail. I highly recommend her. Don't buy the text unless you really lea

I am a person that has a very hard time with Biology. It has been the worst subject for me, but Mrs. Schramm made think of it in another way. She made the lessons seem very interesting. I think she is one of the best teachers! If you pay attention to her lectures, you will do good in her class.

Dr. Schramm is a great teacher. She really loves what she teaches and shares that enthusiasm with her class. Her class is hard and requires a lot of work and studying, but Dr. Schramm is always willing to spend some time out of class helping with the tough concepts. I highly recommend her!

I Love Dr.Jen! True,the class is hard, but it is a major's level class, you can't expect to be spoon-fed. Dr.Jen has high expectations but is very willing to work with her students and wants you to exceed. She loves teaching biology and makes learning it fun! I like biology so much more than I did going into the class and feel like I gained a lot.

Great teacher who loves to teach. very enthusiastic about her subject and helping you to understand the concepts. Took the online section with lab once as week. If you do the worksheets that she doesn't collect or grade you'll have great materials to study from.

Doctor Jen is a good teacher. Everyone who is saying bad things about her is fairly bias.Most likely because of lack of effort in her class. Some things are true. Her class IS hard. Don't take it unless you want a challenge. She has high expectations, but so will your employers.I think she is attractive if that matters at all: heavier Sabrina Lloyd

You can take a lot of the other science professors and get a good grade, but if you want to learn Dr Jenn is awesome. Her expectations are way high though for a 100 level class and she expects a enormous amounts of information for written essay questions. There is no way to gauge what the exams will cover because she never teaches the same lecture.

Yes, this class was HARD. But, you will learn SO much! It requires a ton of time and effort. She is TOUGH! She is also clear, dedicated, and brilliant. If you are interested in Biology, I highly recommend her. She's an outstanding teacher! A great teacher doesn't mean an "easy" teacher you guys!

Dr. Jen is a great teacher. She wants her students to succeed. She is very tough, but she teaches at a community college and what students don't realize is that the same level class would be harder at a 4 yr university. She encourages office hrs. If she knows the class doesn't understand a concept, she will find a better way of teaching it. Loveher

Dr. Jenn is an excellent instructor. Yes, her class is hard, but she does her best to insure clarity, and encourages students to stop by during her office hours. Be prepared to commit time to studying every day. Its worth it. I took her class and got a low C, because I didn't study. I retook her class and earned an 88% B, because I worked for it.

Long story short, its a hard class. If you expect this to be a class that you can breeze through and not study much, then you will fail... hard. If you actually feel like applying yourself then it is a great class, and you will learn. If you can put forth the effort I would highly recommend her.

Dr. Jenn is awesome at explaining concepts in a way that you can understand. It is a very hard class but with her online pre-recorded lectures you can always listen/watch the lecture before class (or after if you have to miss) and actually understand what she is talking about. She is passionate about this subject and it shows!! Great teacher!!

Dr. Jenn is a really good teacher! She does a really good job of explaining the different concepts. However, you CANNOT miss lectures or labs because it will kill your grade. The class is really hard so you must be 100% dedicated. Good luck!!

She funny and such a sweet person! I would definitely take her again!

I love how upbeat she is. I like the class, it is a hard class but she explains everything. She gives you plenty of study helps and is willing to meet with you outside of class time. Very clear on what is on the test and what you need to do to get a good grade. She is tough but fair.

Definitely a tough teacher; she expects a lot from her students and sometimes builds off of things she assumes you know. However, the way she governs her class is very creative, and she genuinely wants her students to do well, which is why she challenges you. She is very knowledgeable and more than willing to help you understand a concept if asked.

She is a good teacher but weeds out the weak. There is lots of homework and is online. You only have 24 hours to access the homework and can't see results to study with after submitted. Her tests are a pretty difficult and her classes are tough over all. No leeway to mess up once.

This series is a lot of work especially combined with the Chem 221 series, but it's possible to complete. Dr. Jen makes you work for it and her lectures include almost all of the information that you need for the test. The lectures may seem long but she makes them fun. I would do it all over again and remember to ask questions as those are key.

Dr Jen is an extremely smart professor and is willing to explain anything for her students. Attendance is mandatory and there is a group project that is a huge pain. Her tests are difficult and you are not allowed any notes, but if you study well and go to every lecture you will do great.

Dr. Jen has her Phd in Biology and is very knowledgeable about the subject. Tries her best to make the class fun and is very into. Tests are decently hard, but put in the work and you'll do fine. Only real con about this class with her is the amount of papers written thorough the year is a lot.

Dr. Jenn is awesome and gives helpful feedback. This is a class you need to give lots of time and energy! Do not skip lectures or labs. She can be a harsh grader but it's because she wants to prep you for a uni and wants you to learn the content. If you're good at communicating and asking q's, you should do okay

Dr. Jen is a fantastic teacher, She makes sure to explain all concepts thoroughly with the help of videos and diagrams. A lot of students get scared of her tough grading and requirements but if you attend class regularly and ask questions you will be fine. She is very educated and only wants to prepare students for what is about to come.

Hard class. Great teacher

I took Jennifer's class the term prior to the pandemic, so I'm not sure if things have changed. There are group projects, considerable amounts of homework, and really tough exams. She's a tough grader, but an excellent professor. I'm a year away from graduating with a degree in BMB, and her lectures were the best I've had at any university.

Yes, she gives a lot of homework. However, I found that a lot of these assignments were closely related to the test material, and helped my understanding of the material a lot. Some were ungraded/worth a low percentage of your grade, and Jen still put a lot of effort into giving good feedback. The tests were also easier than the homework. 10/10.

Hated: The tough grading, the useless group grading, and the change of due dates because of excess hw made it hard to track. Appreciated: hw was always useful, learned a lot, feel more prepared and confident that I could succeed in a higher-level science class, the structure of the class, the videos, lectures, and activities. -but A LOT OF EFFORT!

Cons:lots of assignments due on random dates, tough group projects, skipping class?grade will suffer. if you don't watch outside of class lecture?grade will suffer. pros: no midterms, instead easier multi-unit exams. final is basically essay questions that arent too bad.quizzes aren't that hard, good at explaining concepts. can get by w/o textbook

Dr. Jenn is wonderful! She genuinely cares about her students and unlike what others on here have said, I did not find that she showed favoritism to anyone throughout the year.. she really seems to enjoy what she does. Her online lectures are great, and it's more helpful if you watch those before going to in-person lecture. Time management is KEY!!
