Best professor I ever had. Her powerpoints are very helpful they are basically the exams. She's caring and doesn't have an issue going over the powerpoint with the class. She won't move on until the class understands. Her labs are fun and still understanding at the same time. Just study the powerpoints and it's an easy A in her class.

Professor Slisher is unlike any other. Not only is she kind, caring, and passionate about Biology, she makes sure everything she teaches is accessible outside of the classroom. The powerpoints she goes through are all posted on her website, making it easy to review. Likewise, she does reviews before each test. She wants her students to succeed!

Overall, I learned a lot from this class and she is an amazing teacher. The only part of the class I did not like is that since it is online, everything is proctored through ProctorU. ProctorU makes you download a browser on your computer and only works on high functioning Windows. Keep that in mind if you are taking this course.

Let me just say I would study for 4/5 hours before taking an exam and would still fail or average D's. Maybe that's just me but she would curve every exam a lot which is the only reason I got a B in the class. The homework/discussions were not that bad it was just the exams that were really difficult for me. ProctorU for exams :( but she is sweet!
