Fabulous instructor. Highly reccomend.
A really good professor and sweet, caring person. She will answer any questions you might have. She loves biology!!!
SHE LOVES BIOLOGY, AND WILL DO ANYTHING POSSIBLE TO MAKE SURE YOU WILL PASS.
She is a great teacher, really puts the effort in making every class dynamic and is also very helpful if you don't understand. She will make sure to answer every question you might have.
She is an Amazing Professor, enthusiastic, love's the subject and knows what she teaches. She want's everyone to understand and gain knowledge. I would definitely take her again.
Professor Slisher is truly enjoyable. Not only does she know the material very well, she also modifies it to make it understanding for her students. I would not stray away from the opportunity of having her as a professor. Please do take her. You definitely will not regret the decision to.
The concept is hard, honestly. However, she does a great job of explaining and answering questions! you will not regret taking the class.
As my first college lab class I was a little nervous about taking this course. Professor Slisher is very nice and caring. She wants you to succeed. She explains the labs so you can have a full understanding of the material and definitely walk away learning something. I would definitely recommend this professor and course.
She is very helpful, and she is very easy to approach with questions. She tries to not make the class dull and shows lots of passion in the biology field. I would for sure recommend her to any of my fellow students. You can tell that she has the success of her students in mind.
Its a lab class, so it is fairly easy if you show up and study for the tests.
I wish I had her for lab and lecture! She is very thorough, as long as you read through the lab before class you won't have any problems. Reviews exams in class, you are guaranteed to pass. She makes an 8am class easy, and fun! She will help you with whatever you need and very approachable. Highly recommend her!
Professor Slisher is awesome, she is always willing to help and wants her students to do well. Not only does she go over the lab she explains everything clearly and it is very easy to understand. as long as you read the lab and pay attention when she does a quick lab review at the end of the lab and exam reviews it is a very easy course.
Jessica Slisher is an amazing teacher that gives great input and feedback. Overall Slisher is a caring teacher and hopes the best for her students.
I took Prof Slisher for a three hour 8 am and she managed to keep me awake and make time fly. She is super kind and breaks the material down easy. It really was basically a study hall for Bio lecture. Show up, do your labs, and her tests will be a breeze.
Professor Slisher is super laid back and cool. She breaks everything down for you and makes this class 100% do-able. Attendance is mandatory because you can't make up the labs, but the labs are easy and she helps the whole time. As long as you do the labs and study them, the tests will be an easy A.
Professor Slisher is one of the best and most caring biology lab professors that I've ever had throughout school. I would totally recommend her to anyone looking to take the biology course. The class is an easy A as long as you attend and do well on the tests, which covers content that we go over in class and by doing the labs. Best Professor EVER!
Great teacher. Really wants you to pass.
I took professor slisher for biology (lab) we all know thats not the funniest class, but she made it fun. She made the classroom very relaxing. Played music , let us work together. Shes funny, like to tell jokes here and there. I would recommend her to anybody. Her work is very easy, shes helpful, ready to explain anything you dont understand
Her lectures and powerpoints are so easy to understand and she makes sure that we know what were learning about, and how to do a lab before we get started! she helps guide us through it so its fun and we learn something from it!
Overall great teacher! Super nice and is very easy on grading. As long as you show up and participate it's an easy A.
She makes the material comprehensive and breaks it down until she is sure everyone understands
Just attend class and review power points.
Awesome professor would take again.
Awesome professor, she makes understanding the material very easy and really wants her students to succeed!
Professor Slisher is very clear with what she expects from you. All the exams directly relate to the labs you do in class and the prelab quizzes are easy. Make sure you come to class and study the labs to do well. Easy A. She is also pretty laid back, knows her stuff, and tries to make the class fun. I would take her again.
All you have to do to pass is do the prelab quizzes online which are easy, print out the lab, show up to class and do the lab. All her exams are based on the labs. Show up, you pass, if you skip, have fun trying to catch up. She is fun and plays music during labs. She explains all labs clearly. I would recommend her if you need to take Bio Lab.
She cares very much about you understanding the material; likes when you ask questions. This class is NOT hard. If you show up and do the labs you should pass. It does require some studying but she does give you a review before the test. Overall, a very good professor who cares and very easy class.
Prof. Slisher is an amazing lecturer! She specifically tells you what's on the test & is very helpful if you miss a class. Attendance is a grade so I'd come to class it'll bring your grade down by 5-6%. Tests aren't hard as long as you study. Make sure to go to all labs. She usually lets you out 30 minutes early so it's not bad. Highly recommend.
Great professor! She cares a lot about her students & does everything she can to make sure they understand material. Takes time to do test reviews & is open to asking questions. Highly recommend taking her.
Professor Slisher is a caring professor who ensures that her students comprehend and understand, fully, either concept that is being experimented that day. If you have troubles, she will put her best foot forward to assist you, even if it's being stuck on a lab. I would recommend taking Professor Slisher without hesitation.
Gives good clear lectures, grades fairly, reasonable tests!
Professor Slisher has to be one of my favorite professors that I've had in this institution. She is very concise in her lectures, making everything easy for you to understand and grasp the concepts. Her lectures are pretty entertaining as well. A simple and fair grader. If you attend to skip class a lot then most likely you will not pass.
She is very helpful and is very knowledgeable on the subject. She makes sure that you fully understand what you are doing and why you are doing it. If you go to class and particpate in the labs and make sure you fully understand them then you will be fine on the tests. I love her!
Taking her for my biology lab has been a great experience, but be prepared to work together with your classmates for the labs. The tests are somewhat challenging but easy if you review the slides and take some minor notes during the actual labs. Fantastic teacher, very helpful.
She's an amazing teacher and her class is not difficult as long as you pay attention and read the lab Manuel before hand
Professor Slisher is in my opinion one the best professors I've ever had, she's the most caring and sweet person, she's always trying to make things easier for you to learn, you can reach her out of class anytime and email her and she would be there for you. I'm not that good at science and at her class, I feel so confident just because of her.
Professor Slisher is a great professor. She makes sure that you learn the material and understand it, while still maintaining a fun, enjoyable learning environment. I love her class because she really cares about her students learning.
Professor Slisher is a great professor, it's evident that she cares about her students and wants them to succeed. As long as you read the lab manual before class, show up for the labs, and study for her exams using the PowerPoints provided, you'll most likely pass.
Amazing professor.
She is a very good Biology lab teacher she wants y'all to understand the lab. Make sure you study for every test!
This professor is AMAZING, she cares about her students and actually wants them to succeed!!! She will slow down, repeat stuff, and even walk you through certain concepts if you need help, just ask! There's an online Prelab you do before class and then a group lab in class. Pretty easy structure, and she goes over the exams the week before. 10/10
Show up to the labs and study for tests. Tests are biggest grade so make sure you just study and you'll get an A. She is extremely intelligent so ask questions and you'll learn.
Great teacher! I recommend taking her if you plan on passing this course. No problems with her what so ever. Having her in the lab means you do need to show up to class in order to have credit but each class she makes super easy to understand with notes that help you pass her test which she gives after every 3 labs.
Really interesting course and a great professor. She gives good directions for the lab and genuinely cares that you understand the material.
Professor Slisher has got to be one of the best professors FSW has to offer. I took her Biology Lab & I have learned more with her then I do with my regular lecture professor. Everything we do ties back to the lab, and she works so that everyone understands. She makes it so that you're not learning simply for the test, but you're learning for life.
Professor Slisher is a great teacher and very consistent! Every day we start off doing the same things, she plays a song that goes along with the lab were doing and then goes on to teach a lesson tying into the lab, and then finally explaining the lab before she lets us preform it. Labs are easy- very easy to get an A in her class.
Professor Slisher is very compassionate about what she does, she want you to learn. She is very kind and caring and is always willing to answer question and help you.
I had Professor Slisher for my Bio 1 Lab. Prof Slisher does great brief lectures before lab and makes sure she helps her students to complete the labs and make sure that they understand it. Prof Slisher makes it clear that her students success is her first priority. I dont think i couldve chosen a better lab teacher in prep for higher level labs.
Professor Slisher is a very nice and easy going person. She is a very hard-worker based on what she told us on her background. Her classes are simple you show up, do the work, and you will pass with an A. I would take her for every subject if she taught more than just biology.
Professor Slisher is the best! Attendance in every lab is a MUST and make sure to study for the tests. The tests are super easy and straight forward if you STUDY the power points and lab manual. She is extremely intelligent and caring and is always willing to answer questions and help her students. She wants everyone to succeed.
She's awesome definitely recommenced
Show up to lab and get an easy A. Test are easy, based on the pervious labs and she does a quick test review the class before. Laid back as long as you're doing what you're supposed to be doing. Never a dull moment in class, alway smiling and making jokes. Highly recommend.
I took Professor Slisher for Bio lab & online lecture. Labs are quick and easy, you usually get out of class early. She always goes over a test review a week before the exam, if you study or even just look over the information you will get an A. She really cares about her students & wants everyone to get an A. Always in a great mood. TAKE HER!
AMAZING PROF! cares for her students and wants them to earn an A! Labs and tests are easy if you pay attention.
This professor is awesome! You must attend class because your exams are based on the labs. She goes over the labs clearly with you so no questions are really too surprising. Though she is not always very clea with her labs so sometimes it take you a few minutes to get everything set up. Make sure you sit next to people that will put the work in.
I definitely recommend her for bio class, she is always caring and willing to help. Test are not so hard if you study and she gives a test after every 3 labs.
Professor Slisher is a decent online professor. She does not give too much feedback, but is clear in her grading criteria. If I had a question, she was always accessible and prompt. I can't complain or expect anything more. I recommend taking this professor for any of the classes she teaches!
Professor Slisher is amazing. I had her for Biology lab and she taught well, the tests were simple and straightforward. If you show up to class and do as you are told, you are sure to pass with nothing less than an A. I definitely recommend taking her class.
Professor Slisher is an amazing professor. She genuinely cares about her students and wants to see them succeed. She explains things in a way where you actually understand it. She does test reviews the class before the exam and it helps a lot. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!
She's a great professor and really cares for her students. I am also a student assistant for her and 5 hours go by like 10 minutes. you learn so much and she makes it super easy to understand.
Super hard tests, and the mcgraw hill is annoying but the professor is clear on what she wants from you and leaves no room for questions.
Online class, not much interaction with the professor. All labs are online through a program that you buy an access code to. Make sure you give yourself enough time to complete your weekly labs, since there are multiple steps and they must all be recorded. Pay attention and review your notes for each lab, since that is what the quiz is on.
Explains the labs clearly, and makes sure you actually understand what you're doing in the lab instead of just following directions.
Very easy class if you follow the lab manual ask questions shes usally very good at helping you out if you need it
This was a fun class, labs were great at helping you understand what is going on in your lecture class. Great professor, just study before the test and you will be fine!
Professor Slisher is an awesome teacher. She wants each and every one of her students to pass and she makes it very easy to do that. Just show up for the labs and study for the exams and youll pass. She reviews each exam beforehand and always answers any questions you have.
The professors gives you what you need to pass.
Professor makes class fun, enjoyable, and tries that student learn little by little rather than everything at once. This class is a little bit hard but she tries to make it as easy as possible. If you study hard and do all PowerPoints and read before each lab youll pass this class with an A or B. Make sure to ask if you have any questions.
Professor Slisher is an incredible professor with an enthusiasm for biology that draws your attention. She is very kind and always available for help during a lab if you're unsure of your next step. Many opportunities for extra credit and easy points, she truly cares about her students and wants us to not only pass, but to actually learn biology.
She is really sweet, caring, and uses the time during labs to make sure you know what you're doing and even provides you with the book. Labs usually end early and she goes over everything. Before tests, she gives reviews for the information and offers extra credit opportunities. My friends and I all take Slisher's class and I highly recommend her!
Professor Slisher was great. Really enjoyed doing the labs and she makes her tests easy. Very clear on exactly what you'll be tested on so it's hard not to do well.
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.
She is the most passionate teacher I have ever had. She loves what she does and does everything in her power to help you pass. YOU MUST SHOW UP TO CLASS but other than that she helps you through all of the labs step by step and tells you exactly what to study for test days.
I recommend you to take this amazing professor for BSC. She's very caring for her students and gives good feedback for our test. If you take this professor ,you'll end your semester with an A.
Best science professor I've ever had. She really cares about your understanding in the class & makes slide shows that have everything you'll need to know for the exams, which are also very easy as long as you pay attention to the mini lectures/ class discussions before labs. Highly recommend!
Professor Slisher is a very fair and helpful teacher. I tend not to like science classes and Professor Slisher made the labs fun and exciting. I would like to have her for all of my science classes due to how she gives us information and gives us tools to help it stick so we can recall the information at will.
Professor Slisher is an exceptional teacher. I loved everything about this course, from the way the class was set up to the test reviews that were clear and helpful. This course helped me to find my love of learning again and to be excited about my major. The powerpoints are great study tools; especially the diagrams and fun pictures.
I am so glad that I was able to have a class with Jessica. She is one of the best teachers on campus. As long as you do the short four question quizzes and come to class, you will definitely get an A!
I am so glad that I was able to have a class with Jessica. She is by far one of the best Professor on campus! As long as you do the quizzes and attend all classes you will definitely get an A!
Taking notes will help you pass all the tests.
I took professor Slisher this fall for BSC101 And BDC101Lab and I couldnt have made a better decision- shes takes biology to heart and is an amazing prof her lectures are very thorough and explain everything you need to know for your exam . Her reviews are also so key for your test . Quizzes online are Not hard . I would take her again !!
I'm a student who struggles in almost every class so I was scared I would barely pass this class. I'm so thankful I took Professor Slisher because she really truly cares and wants you to do well in her class and beyond that. I felt like her lectures are important to go to because she'll explain the key concepts in ways that actually make sense.
Took this class online, there are a lot of assignments so do them in advance to meet the due date, other than that, course was pretty straight forward and she was clear. Would recommend her
The best science professor I have ever had by a longshot. She is understanding and truly cares about her students understanding the material. No doubt, would recommend to anyone.
One of the best teachers I've ever had in my college experience! She is the sweetest individual as well as the most knowledgeable. She is very patient and is willing to take time out for those who don't understand a certain topic. I would definitely recommend her as a teacher. Taking her is one of the greatest decisions you will ever make!
Professor Slisher takes her class seriously but wants to make it the best semester with lots of accountable talk and fun. If you study the material given to you, you will pass.
Awesome! She makes learning fun and helps when needed!
Shes an amazing person as a professor and also just a wonderful human being outside of the classroom . You can definitely come to her with problems outside of the classroom as well that she will try her best to help you with .
She is an amazing professsor. I took the accelerated semester so it was very fast paced but completely manageable. Easy A. Accelerated or not. Makes boring lectures more exciting.
To clarify, even though I don't use the Professors required text does not mean it isn't mandatory. Professor Slisher is very much respected by her peers and students. The Professor also expects your participation, which isn't hard for a smart and engaging lecture. You can ask her anything, including challenging the scientific community. 5 Stars!
I dreaded the thought of taking biology and somehow ended up taking Professor Slisher's accelerated mini semester class. At first I thought I was in over my head, but Professor Slisher made it all worthwhile.. She loves what she does and wants her students to succeed! Show up to class, study her power points and show up on review days. Super caring
She is very helpful if you need more explanations with the subject matter. She tries her best to lighten up the mood of the class because the course is tough. She is a professor who knows what she is talking about.
Professor Slisher is an amazing professor. She truly cares about her students and their education. You will defiantly want to show up to class every day and read the textbook. Her lectures are structured well and add onto the textbook. I wish I had also taken her for my lab. Overall, I would 100% suggest Professor Slisher for Biology.
Straightforward for both Lecture and Lab class. Tests are based off book (labs), review, and powerpoints. Prelab/chapter quizzes help with reviewing and are unlimited in tries up to the date. Powerpoints help summarize material. Great Professor who wants students to learn the material in a fun way. Makes time if you need help. Take her class!
Very kind. If you need help with a subject or aren't quite grasping a consept she is happy to explain. She plays music at the beginning class that is related to the material that's being discussed that day. She's always smiling. Her lectures are outlined very well and the class before a test she goes over the chapters to help students prepare.
Easily one of the kindest and compassionate professors I've had! She presents herself with optimism, and puts her students first! At the end of each lecture, she has her students complete an activity to make sure we grasp the material. Also, her lectures are accessible on her page, just in case! She also does really helpful reviews before any test!
You are super sweet and I love how you try to answer students questions to the best of your ability. I especially like the songs at the beginning of every chapter to add a little more fun to the lesson.
Professor Slisher is an amazing teacher! The lectures that she gives coincede with the book, making it easier when it comes to studying. Her lab class is like a refresher of what we learned in lecture, and it helps people ,like me, who need a visual component to their learning. The tests review help a lot when it comes to studying time.
Professor Slisher's class is pretty easy. Her review right before the test is super helpful, and she covers everything on the test. I think her only downfall is that she reads right off the PowerPoint. If you read outside of class, though, you can get a deeper understanding and be okay. She is super kind and always accepting of questions. Recommend
Professor Slisher is very caring and makes it obvious that she is enthusiastic about what she is teaching. Her reviews before the test are very straightforward and help a lot on the test, so it is important to take notes, However her lectures in class are reading straight off of the powerpoint, and she does not go much farther to explain in detail.
Makes biology easy to learn and clear to understand! Encourages students to read the book and take notes while engaging us with questions and easy/quick assignments. While it is important to attend class and take notes, participation not mandatory. A few tests throughout the course are the main part of your grade. She genuinely wants us to succeed!
Her powerpoints are a life saver, they're the best way to study along with reading the textbook. Though attendance is mandatory, her lectures aren't necessary. Her teaching style is very focused on the powerpoints and pretty much reads them word for word. Tip: Never ask questions, her answer will have nothing to do with it and will only confuse you
Nice professor that makes the class enjoyable, but often reads straight from the powerpoints without adding additional information.
Very outgoing and nice and her powerpoints are really informational
Although a great professor, She often reads the PowerPoint word for word without elaborating or building on top of the PowerPoint. Besides this, Professor Slisher is a great professor.
Prof. Slisher is very knowledgeable in the subjects that she teaches. She answers any questions you may have and won't hesitate to clarify anything. She does small in class assignments at the end of each lecture, but it's mainly for attendance. She has review days before exams to help her students prepare. I'd definitely recommend her for biology.
Professor Slisher always goes above and beyond to make sure her students are doing well, answers any questions or concerns that we have, and makes sure we have everything we need to succeed.
great teacher, lectures are thorough. highly recommend this class and teacher.
Slisher uses PowerPoints to get points across, if you read the chapter and the powerpoints you cannot fail her class. She also cares about you and your understanding of biology. She also makes it easy to grasp the concepts.
She is a great professor, definitely loves her job . She is very patient so dont be afraid to ask questions or talk to her.
My biggest mistake so far in my collegiate career has been taking Biology online, of which has not been made any bit easier with having Professor Slisher as my BSC1010 professor. I find her difficult to understand at times over email, and the assignments are incredibly lengthy with little feedback. Having to teach yourself a course like this, ugh.
Biology was my first science class and I took this online through Dual Enrollment. The class was that hard but you need to be willing to read and study for tests. She provides a lot of extra worksheets and activities that other professors dont provide but it honestly helps you memorize the material more. I learned a great deal from this class!
Professor Slisher is an AMAZING professor. She truly cares about her students and their grades. The power-points are helpful and get directly to the point. You can also access the power-points before class so you can take notes beforehand to really understand the topics. The test reviews that she does before every test are extremely helpful too!
Really amazing and caring professor! Emailed her a few times outside of class and she got back to me within a reasonable time frame & answered any questions I had! Is quick with grading which is great. Made course material easier to learn with powerpoints and had enough small assignments that weren't difficult and definitely boosted my grade up.
Professor Slisher is very nice and helpful. The pre-test reviews are the questions from the test so if you pay attention during the pre-test reviews you will pass. Tests are 70% of your grade so take tests seriously and you will pass easily.
Professor was great at responding to emails quickly. Work she expected us to do was completely reasonable.
She's a very good science teacher, pay attention during lectures and the test reviews and you will be okay.
I am in love with the ways Professor Slisher teaches she explains if you don't understand something, and she is even willing to explain more than two times if you don't know it, and I am planning to retake her next semester.
As I have taken many online classes before, Professor Slisher has been my favorite. This class is extremely easy and the material learned through online labs is very helpful. I definitely recommend taking this class instead of doing it in person just because of how easy it was for me to actually learn things without having to do too much work.
Professor was great, labs online were informative and helpful. Overall, very simple and easy-going class. Easy A.
Prof. Slisher provides a very well rounded learning experience. She makes sure to assist where it is needed, be there as much as possible outside of class times, and she genuinely cares for her students and wants them to succeed. I would recommend her classes to any student.
Awesome Prof! Best Bio experience- Pay attention to the lectures and ESPECIALLY the reviews. Did amazing in this time of stress (COVID) for transferring to online! Graded by tests mostly in lecture, but they're easy if you study and know the material. Lab graded by lab reports and group presentation at end. Simple stuff, but don't slack off!
Jessica Slisher is an amazing professor! She is very personable and is always there if you need help!
Straightforward. Very easy class.
Professor Slisher is super knowledgeable and knows what she is talking about. From the first day of class she made it her goal to make the class as easy as possible. What really helps is that she goes into depth about the information you need to know during lecture. I 100% recommend Professor Slisher and would take her again.
This class is very power point/test based, but executed well.
Great lab with great instruction.
Professor Slisher is an amazing teacher. She is always willing to help you. Her tests are pretty easy but you still need to study. She lectures before the labs to give you background knowledge of what you are going to be doing in the lab. I would definitely recommend her to a friend and I would take her again.
Shes pretty much just reads the powerpoint word for word instead of elaborating so if you dont learn that well like that she may not be the teacher for you. but overall shes a really good teacher!
Professor Slisher was very helpful and thoughtful! She approved an override for me to enter her BSC 1010 class after it was full. I had previously taken BSC 1010 and did not pass, but after being able to enter it again and retake it, I am currently so close to an A! That will tremendously help my GPA.
The class online was pretty easy. The labs are through labster, which is an easy simulation, where you click through the tasks and answers some questions throughout (which is how you get your points for the class). There are also discussions, that you get the points just for saying how you felt about the lab. Easy class.
Professor Slisher was a great instructor and her class was easy, but I still learned a lot! I would take again 100%.
Professor Slishers lab class was easy because she was okay with you making mistakes. There was one easy group project, no tests.
A great professor. She provides additional resources, to truly understand and succeed in the class. The connect assignments were super helpful and led to better grades on the exams. Definitely recommend, but make sure you read and use all of your resources if you want a good grade.
I took her for lecture and lab online. Great professor. For the labs we used labster, which was super nice. You can redo the labs as many times as you would like to increase your grade. Sometimes the labs are definitely hard, but since you can repeat the labs, it is pretty simple to get a good grade.
She is a great professor. I was able to understand and learn much from her class. The textbook is used in conjunction with provided powerpoints. You will be able to do great on the exams if you show up for the exam reviews! I also took her Lab class, which is like a review course to the lecture aspect.
I had Professor Slisher for both lecture and lab. I really enjoyed her class. She is very helpful. You will need to read the book in order to fully understand the concepts even though she does post her PowerPoint lectures online. She also prepares you dor the test very well.
This class was difficult for me. I've never been good at biology, and this class was no exception. Ms. Slisher provided everything needed to pass the class, and I should've studied some of those materials a little more. This class relied a lot on me actually taking the time to learn and understand the material.
Professor Slisher is an amazing person inside and outside of the classroom. She is an absolute ray of sunshine and her class isn't terribly hard. She also does test review which makes preparing for the actual test much easier.
Professor Slisher gives us our work and then explains what needs to be done on the paper. She also walks around to motive us and answer any questions that we may have. She also is making the transfer to online school due to the virus easier on us. All in all, she is an amazing teacher.
required participation grades heavy on the discussion post works with the students
Prof. Slisher is a phenomenal professor overall. She cares for her students and truly wants them to succeed.
Great person: as a teacher and as an individual.
best teacher ever!!
She did a great job by explaining thoroughly the material we needed to accomplish labs and ace tests.
Professor Slisher has been great. She has a lot of patience and understanding and will help you to her best ability to pass this class. I wish there were more professors like her.
Be prepared to sit through the entire class and its all a lecture no activities to help you learn and if there is any they are not really explained. Pay attention to going over the test before the test in class it helps be prepared to learn from multiple sites on the subject she also provides a learning tool online to help if you are struggling...
I was worried about taking BIO online, but with Professor Slisher, I was able to really understand the material and get a good grade. She is awsome and very understanding.
Professor Slisher was a great! The labs online where really interesting and I was actually able to learn from it. I was skeptical at first about doing a bio lab online, but I am so glad I did. All you need to do to pass this class is just pay attention and do the labs.
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!
It was a very easy lab class with a great professor!
Easy Class
Very amazing professor. She not only genuinely cares about her students but her class is very worth it as long as you simply do your work, listen to her lectures, and read the materials. An easy A or B (as long as you put in work).
Great professor, she really knows what she's talking about! She is a hard worker and expects the same from you.
She makes a really good learning environment, very positive and kind. Also, her test reviews help a lot!!
test reviews for bio two is not as good as it is in bio one
The powerpoints used in class are really useful
Great Professor! You can tell she really cares about her students. The sweetest person so ask questions, she is very willing to help.
Very nice teacher, when our lobster was not working she gave plenty of time for students to make them up. Do not be afraid to ask questions she will answer them and help you. We would do discussions where it was a big chat group, students can ask questions and if other students can answer them. She cares about what you say and will help you.
The course wasn't too hard, if you pay attention to the labs then you should be fine.
Professor Slisher uses a site called Labster for her online bio labs, and it makes doing the labs fun and sometimes easier to understand. Pretty easy class.
Easy A and Easy to learn material!
Great class! Professor replied to all my emails and was understanding about late assignments.
I took Prof Slisher for Bio 1010 and Bio 1010L online and I loved both of them! She has a very clear, laid out grading criteria and is always happy to help if you need it. You will need the access code for online textbook, as well as for the lab. Her assignments do not take long, and they are super helpful!
Professor Slisher is a great professor. She is very caring and wants her students to succeed. Her lectures are really helpful, along with her test reviews! Pay attention during those test reviews and take notes, she also lets you audio record her (as long as it's not shared/posted). The exams are just like the review.
Very into what she does. Super hardworking, just don't skip class.
At first, I was a little intimated about taking a lab online. However, this course helped. me just as much as a I had hoped it would. Whenever I had issues, Professor Slisher was easily accessible and helped out a lot.
She'll always try to do her best to make sure you understand what is going on in the class and is more than ready to explain something when you need help, labs are always fun and easy to pass, I think you'll enjoy her class.
This class helped me understand biology more by doing the labs that were assigned.
Professor Slisher's Biology class was the most recommended at the school. It was a fair class; if you put in work, your efforts will transfer to your grades. If I have to take Bio 2 I definitely know who I am going to take.
Prof. was fantastic always ready to communicate and offer further help.
Honestly, one of the best teachers I have had when I was struggling with something she was very understanding. The material was easy to understand and the course work helps you understand complex information like different cycles. Definitely recommend!
She is very understanding.
The teacher is amazing and is very understanding. She does make the class feel like a very friendly environment with the discussions so its very easy to ask classmates or the teacher if you're confused about something. The older labs can be a bit hard to understand, but they're updating them and the new labs are much easier to understand.
Professor Slisher was helpful whenever I emailed her, she always responded immediately.
So basically in this class you have a website that you do all the reading and homework assignments on with a few assignments and tests due on canvas. The work isn't hard at all, really easy to follow basic biology, you just have to do a reading and answering questions.
She provided immediate feedback when I needed help and always graded the assignments right away. It was helpful because I knew exactly what my grade was in the class- other professors have a tendancy of waiting until the last minute to upload and grade all the assignments. I would recommend her and take another one of her classes given the op.
Professor Slisher really cares about her students and wants them to do well. She is very helpful and provides great resources to help students learn.
If you take her lecture course, you will hear the same things repeated every class. She is a very kind teacher and I would recommend her to anyone.
Reads straight from the powerpoint with little input. If you can read the powerpoint, there is no point in going to class because you would not be missing anything.
Professor Slisher is an amazing professor that truly wants her students to succeed. She genuinely cares and is very understanding. She gives in depth assignments and explanations. She explains things in a way that truly helped me understand the material and get a good grasp of it. 10/10 recommend and loved her as my professor !
I never leave ratings, but I had to for this course. This class was easy and fun. The professor responds quickly. This course is the lab portion, but we did it on Labster which made this course 100x more fun. There is not much you have to do for this course, besides the lab and discussions. I highly highly recommend!!
Professor Slisher was a good professor. She wasn't very interactive with the class and took a while to get back to emails. She lacked empathy for online students trying to keep up with a full course-load during a pandemic. This professor is heavy on the textbook and you will have a lot of assignments related to it. If you try hard, you'll be fine.
She s nice but can be a little passive agressive in emails when I asked about Labster. Each week there's an easy discussion post and 1-3 labs. MIdterm and final exam are proctored, however the final exam was almost 1 month earlier than my actual biology class. You can redo checkpoints in Labster for a good grade before it's submitted. Easy A!
Professor Slisher is amazing! She was the best professor I had during my time at FSW and I wouldnt be succeeding in my Biomedical Sciences major at UCF if it wasnt for her! She goes above and beyond to make sure everyone understands the material. Her PowerPoints are very helpful for exams and future biology courses. I cant recommend her enough!!
Professor Slisher was very helpful throughout the course whenever I needed her. She recently took over an hour to help me prepare for my final and that really helped make the difference in my success. I would definitely take another one of her classes, she made a difficult subject very accessible and gave me the tools necessary to succeed.
Great teacher!
This course takes a lot of your time and in order for one to pass, read.. read.. READ. The chapters are a bit long, but quite interesting! The quizzes are very easy as long as you read parts of the chapters. *I took this course online and it was peachy, again- you can't slack. If you slack, you get behind in completing assignments.
I took BSC1010 and BSC1010L. Very work heavy, much more than my other classes. Most of the BSC1010 assignments are time consuming and unnecessarily long, but they are pretty easy. BSC1010L did not have as many assignments. As someone who doesn't like biology I did not like the long, boring assignments. Prof. Slisher was fine, but has poor grammar.
Professor Slisher was very kind and understanding. Her class layout was easy to understand and you can easily pass if you study and do the homeworks!
Very well-structured class with doable due dates that won't stress you out as long as you keep up with the work. She is super nice and very understanding. Her class does require some time and effort but is easy to pass. Overall, a great experience!
Professor Slisher is very kind and understanding. Do your labs and discussions and you're golden. If you have any questions she'll get back to you asap. Highly recommend taking her Lab
A very great and fun class! Lots of tools are available to you and responses to e-mails are quick!
I took Slisher for BSC1010 and BSC1010L. Labs were lengthy, but not hard. You can use the book on quizzes and the homework lets you check your answers before you submit. She is very accessible! She responds to emails quickly and helps you whenever! The workload sometimes takes a long time, but is not too bad. Overall, I would highly suggest her!
Dr. Slisher is nice. She does emphasize on not accepting late work. She’s understanding. I personally felt like it was a learn on you own type of situation. I’m bad a taking notes so not having a study guide was a struggle. She does provide other resources to understand the material Take good notes and study. go to office hours if you need help
She's okay, lots of work each week, about 2 labs and 3 other homework assignments. 2 proctored test, overall easy but she weighs the midterm and final so heavy.
Labs are pretty easy if you're having trouble of them most of them have YouTube videos or Quizlets of the Labs. Tests/Quizzes aren't proctored besides Midterm and Final. You can tell she really wants you to pass.
Really great teacher. Labs are easy to find online if you need help. Assignments are very spaced out so you have more than enough time for everything. Tests/quizzes aren't proctored besides the final and there wasn't a midterm. If you take her lab class too there is a midterm for that tho.
I would highly recommend taking her class. She is amazing and cares about your learning.
This is more of a work at your own pace class. As long as you get your assignments done on time you should not have a problem passing the class. Great teacher and always answers in a timely manner
She's a very understanding professor, if you struggle just let her know because she will be more than happy to help you. She responds to emails in a timely manner. Despite the class being online she makes it very engaging.
Proctorio was used but not for every exam ;) other than that you can get as far ahead as you want you can probably finish the semester in two months if you were to dedicate enough time. I finished a month early.
Professor Slisher, is a good teacher and I wouldn't mind having this professor again.
Professor Slisher's online course was very easy. Students are able to work at their own pace, Proctored test are given yet not for all exams. She is a very well-relaxed professor. I would highly recommend
Ms. Slisher explained a lot of concepts I found confusing to be easy for me. She responds quickly to her students and provides a good guide for her exams.
I could not recommend Professor Slisher more! She is so nice, I take her night class & she is really respectful of everyone's time. The labs are not hard, she makes good power points, and she even records the zoom calls if you can't make it or if you wish to go over something you can always go back to the lecture. if you take bio, take it with her!
Professor Slisher is an amazing professor. I have not had a professor who actually enjoys teaching and her subject in a long time. The material is well organized and easy to follow. Midterm and Final, study and you will do great. She is also accessible outside of class and very responsive with emails. Seriously, great professor. Highly Recommend.
It was an online course, there are due dates, but we were able to work at our own pace, just had to keep up with those dates, I liked that, I was able to juggle all of my courses with this flexibility.
Everything is viewable prior to due dates, allowing for you to plan on advance for when you have time to complete the work. Flexible schedule friendly. Not a heavy work load.
I believe this professor is a great choice for Biology. Personally, this class is quite difficult but I've been trying my best, and the assignments help. As to other professors, Slisher is the best at FSW for Bio. This was an online class, so there isn't much she needs to do, but she does provide help if you reach out.
If you haven't taken biology in a while, I suggest doing biology in class. Online is a little difficult. The homework assignments given by Professor Slisher did assist a LOT with understanding the material!
I loved this class so much! I am not a biology person but Professor Slisher made it easier. We had discussions that allowed us to help each other with the work and she was very quick to respond to emails and give feedback. The textbook can be a lot of reading but if you get it done with your notes early then it is easy to understand.
In my experience taking her BSC1010L course, Jessica Slisher made it enjoyable to learn biology. I took a few years off from college to work and gain some general life experience, so I thought I'd be rusty returning to school at 26. My experience returning to college was positive and simple thanks to Professor Slisher. Thanks for making bio fun!
Professor Slisher is a great teacher. Her lectures are very good and I understood most if not all of the Modules. She gives good demonstrations. Every week you have one module. You usually have 5 assignments for an online lab and then a discussion and reflect and report. Their are no quizzes but their are test. The test are long.
Professor Slisher was very sweet throughout the course and made sure we knew what we were doing each week! The online labs that were assigned were very beneficial to my learning and only took me about 30 minutes to an hour each week to do. They were also fun! Great professor and I would definitely take the class again.
She was a Nice professor however i feel like there were way to many assignments weekly. Her tests were also proctored and difficult.
This class gave me depression
The exams were challenging, way harder than the module quizzes.
I liked this Lab class a lot! It was fun, and we only had a midterm and a final. I highly recommend this class.
Professor is SUPER nice, but her exams, not so much. You'll have to read A LOT and really dive deep into the chapters to pass, quiz are only 1 attempt so good luck trying to improve your grade. 4 exams + final all proctored, very intimidating but she give curves after, if you join zoom to review the test after, she gives partial pts on wrong ques.
Prof. Slisher's teaching is remarkable. She simplifies complex concepts, making the course easy and enjoyable. I gained valuable knowledge applicable to both my life and future career. Despite tough exams, the thoughtful grading curve eased many worries. Overall, I deeply appreciate Prof. Slisher's course.
Professor Slisher is a wonderful professor to take for General Biology 1. The modules provided are very helpful with different information for the various chapters. She sends out emails and announcements for her students at the beginning of each week. Overall, she is a very helpful person with a positive attitude.
The processor is really good at communicating and does everything to make sure that you don't get behind. Work isn't hard just some reading. Take notes to study for quizzes and exams. Doesn't allow note cards or textbooks for Proctor-U. Does weekly announcements which are very helpful to remember things but also motivate you.Grades quickly.
Prof. Slisher is a great professor.
Don't take this online if Bio isn't a strong subject for you. That being said, Professor Slisher was always readily available to help and also met with me via Zoom to review exams. This is a class where have to put in the work to be successful. ProctorU was a little annoying and I wish there were more thorough study guides, but it's doable overall.
Professor Slisher is an awesome professor! Her lectures and discussions are clear and insightful, her exams are challenging but fair, and she is very approachable if you need any extra clarification.
Professor Slisher is an excellent instructor she provides useful slides and is very fast in responding to emails. Overall, a great professor.
She is a sweet teacher and cares about her students. However, tests are a little bit more challenging. I would 100% take this class with her.
She is very quick in responding to emails and has a lot of helpful information when asking questions. She is very understanding and wants her students to succeed and learn from this course. I would recommend taking any courses available with this professor.
Professor Slisher is a great option for BSC1010 online, she was very engaging and there are opportunties to bring up your grade. Just make sure you study effectively and know the material before exams. The homework can be a little time consuming but nothing too crazy. I would definitely recommend taking her!
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.
Professor Slisher is a fantastic teacher for this course. It is very easy to reach out to her and she responds almost immediately! There is a ton of material but as long as you study and take the time to learn it the course is not difficult.
Great teacher and gave me many resources to learn from. The labs were great for people who learn by doing the tasks at hand. The discussion posts were also very helpful as they recap the week and helped us reflect on all that we learned. In all id totally take this class again as it was easy to understand and learn.
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!
I started this course super stressed from all the textbook readings and homework, but after meeting with Prof.Slisher I felt much more confident, she's super sweet and therapeutic, gives GREAT advice and I honestly felt like she was my therapist. Tests are scary but she relieves them w/ curves, it will be hard because it's bio so be determined!
Everything is pretty much based on the textbook, it can be a lot of reading and confusing but if you re-read it multiple times it will flow into your memory. I was struggling so much in the beginning of the semester but got an A in the end, the readings can actually be very interesting, if you need help reach out to prof.slisher, she's so sweet.
DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE!!!! This was the hardest course I have ever taken at FSW and I'm a science major. The tests are insanely hard and every one failed every exam. It caused everyone undue stress. The study guides where very general and there was no way to succeed with these tricky exams. Do yourself a favor and take another professor.
Get ready to teach yourself completely unassisted! I'd emailed her with a question her response was, the info is in the book! Exams=60% of the grade. Exams=tricky/confusing! You literally have to read/remember the textbook! She is NOT engaging or helpful! Pick anyone else! I had no choice as she was the only professor left to choose- I now see why!
I took Professor Slisher online during the summer term for both her general biology lecture and lab. The assignment workload is average, but the in-semester exams are difficult. Professor Slisher is very accessible and will help you understand any concepts you struggle with. I would recommend her for any biology course you take at FSW.
Prof Slisher is amazing !!! I took biology with lab online. She is fast at responding to emails and clarifies any questions you have. She is an easy grader just make sure you do the work. You are also able to work ahead in her class. Tests are through proctorU multiple choice. She provides everything you need in order to be successful.
Professor Slisher was responsive to emails and always willing to help, though you needed to take the initiative to reach out. Be prepared to study diligently, as understanding the material is crucial for acing the class. Her guidance is valuable, but success depends on your effort and engagement. Also had her for General Biology I :)
Professor Slisher had to curve every exam because more than half the class failed! That should tell you something about her lack of teaching! Very hard exams that were insanely detailed. This course was so stressful and the professor was nonexistent as far as helping you. She's too busy trying to be a realtor instead of being a bio professor!
Every negative review on this professor magical gets flagged!! I passed so this isn't a spiteful review however the people need to know the truth! Professor Slisher is not involved, all emails and correspondences regarding the class are auto generated. And she takes DAYS to reply to any emails! This class was nightmare! Do not take this professor!!
There was little interaction between professor and the students. This class was online class so there is an aspect of "teaching yourself" but the Professor needs to at least be engaging and occasionally communicate! Everything is through the Bio book's website. Basically study the entire bio book and you MAY pass! Dreadful experience and class!
Take in person rather than online. I took it online and got an A but it was stressful. Sometimes it was hard to contact the professor. ALL 9 tests (both lab + lecture combined) proctored using Proctor U and exams are VERY difficult. Some exams were curved bc of how challenging it was. I felt like some questions went beyond the material provided.
She's not attentive & disappeared on multiple occasions. If you try to reach out for help, "it's in the textbook." She has very specific & difficult exams that don't show which questions were wrong, so you can't review. I've never failed a class before but I did with this one. She promised 2 points to everyone's grade but mine stayed the same.
Professor Slisher is not great. She takes days to respond to pertinent messages regarding course work. She is just a name they put as the professor because she doesn't actually teach or lead anything about the class. This biology class was very difficult. Curves every exam because students do so poorly due to her lack of teaching! Avoid taking her!
I took this class for my summer term and to be straightforward, it wasn't the best. Don't get me wrong, the assignments were easy and so were the discussions but it was the exams (all proctored) that pulled my grade down. Some questions were just out of the world even if they were just multiple choice. Would not recommend!!
Professor Slisher made it very easy to complete the course with how she did the weekly assignments (2 easy discussions, hw, and quiz) as well as with how responsive she was. Always replied to me quickly and even called me directly at the end of the semester to help me submit my final assigments. I would definitely recommend her and take her again!!
Professor Slisher's BCS1010 class can be challenging, but engaging. The exams are tricky, but curves help. Textbook readings are essential, and reaching out to the professor for guidance is worthwhile. Unstuckstudy AI proved a helpful study tool alongside other resources.
Taking this course with Professor Slisher was fun, easy, and understandable! I loved the professor and any need I had, she was there for me! During the hurricanes, she made sure I was okay and asked me if I needed anything. I would definitely have her again! Professor Slisher is an awesome professor!
This class was amazing! She was especially helpful during the hurricane! The tests can get a little specific, and so my advice is to study a a week in advance, but that's with mostly all science courses. She does curve exams so that's helpful, but not a replacement to do bad lol. Overall I wish she taught Bio 2 because I would 100% take her again!
I'd highly reccomended using her office hours, she's very kind! MAKE SURE you use the quizzes, and the practice questions&review given at the end of each chapter in the book to study. It's a LOT of work, try to get ahead during your first week (do 2 mods instead of 1,) and you'll have a better time than I did! Study guides in FSW lee bookshop.
Great professor overall. She cares a lot. Lots of assignments but fairly easy just tedious. Take HER!!
This teacher is incredibly understanding and will help you through anything you need.
Professor Slisher is one of the best teachers I have ever had the chance to learn from. Her assignments are easy and she makes the material clear and easy to understand. She is also very helpful if you fall behind she is not like other professors she will help you to get back on track and will give you helpful tips for the future.
Very helpful with labs and communicated well with students.
She's a great person. Supper nice and understanding. The course work is a lot if you have a lot of things to do and will take up a lot of your time. Course is very test based and so if you don't do good on one test it will mess up your entire grade and wil be harder to bring your grade up. As long as you study you will be fine.
This class was unnecessarily hard. The exams were all proctored and very difficult. You have to deep dive and do more research on top of that to answer some of the exam questions. Just take a Bio class in person.
For her online class, it was very mediocre. Most of the tests are based on the McGraw Hill reading, which can be a little confusing and ragingly boring but that is what will get you to pass this class. Honestly, take this class in person if you struggle with biology.
This class is insanely test-heavy, around 60% of your grade is based on 5 tests. No matter how well you do on the homework or quizzes, if you struggle on the tests your grades will suffer. All the quizzes and homework were on McGraw while all the tests were on ProctorU which is difficult to get up. I highly advise you, to take this class in person.
Professor Slisher was amazing! She responds to emails promptly and is always willing to meet to address any questions or concerns. I met with her multiple times, and she was not only incredibly helpful, but also genuinely kind and approachable. The exams can be challenging, but your grade reflects your effort and time spent studying.
Prof. Slisher was good. Everything was on McGraw Hill and you had discussion posts once in a while but they were easy once sentence answers. The only thing is that she didn't give us any study guide material until we got to exam #4 and the final exam. However, if you email her, I'm sure she'll open them earlier. She responded to emails quickly.
Great teacher. 100% recommend
I really enjoyed Professor Slisher's biology class. It was thorough and well though out. She really cares for her students and wants them to succeed. Proctor U is my only complaint. It is very unstable and I often found issues with it. Other than that, I recommend this class to anyone who is willing to study!
This class is extremely easy and well created. I really enjoyed it. The assignments were easy to understand and I now have a better understanding of Biology in the laboratory sense!
She's a good teacher, if taking it online doing your own studying is almost a must, and the kahoots before the tests don't go over very specific things so they should mainly be used as a guide to see what you should actually go and do your own studying. But over all she was a great teacher.
This was the lab for my biology class I took online, the labs where not hard to do or understand, they walk you through what you are supposed to do and over all not hard. However there is only a midterm and a final, so make sure you do good on them but she does scale them. Over all a great teacher.
Ms. Slisher is one of the kindest and most understanding teachers I have ever had. I took her class online, but I was overwhelmed as a recent hurricane destroyed my house. There were a lot of complications and I had to do lots of assignments last minute (not her fault), she was so flexible & helpful. She also provides lots of extra study material.
Professor Slisher is nice, but the workload is insane. There are no study guides, and the exams are 50% of your grade. If you wanna take her class be ready for 5 weekly assignments. I used one of the tutors at FSW and he said her assignments were extremely in-depth and a lot of the material she provided was similar to Anatomy 1.
The absolute most caring professor I have ever had. I am so grateful for the opportunity to have been taught by her. Do yourself a favor and sign up for her class.
She was absolutely amazing it was the best biology class I took. Unfortunately I had to skip classes because of family illness. Even though she was really understanding , caring and respectful about the process thank you so much professor.
Assignments: clear and relevant You can do a week's work in 1-2 days. Study a few hours before proctored midterm and proctored final exam. Class is fun, I took on zoom once a week, hybrid. Attendance: mandatory but, again, I chose to do this. It kept me accountable more, in my opinion. Great professor, take the course, simple, and loved the class.
Professor Slisher is an amazing teacher. She gives Kahoot reviews before each unit test. She is always available for office hours or via email. she truly cares about her students and learning, and has even allowed late submissions for assignments. I would take any course she provides in a heartbeat. Would recommend her to anyone.
I really enjoyed Pro. Slisher's online Biology Lab course. She was so helpful and kind. Her exams were extremely tough however, she couldn't give you more study guides to help. She provides links to anything you could think of which I thought was super helpful! Her exams are not straight from the book but she will be the first one to tell you that
The professor was fun, objective, and clear in her way of teaching. She was quite helpful in giving our lessons, but as well as being considerate how our class felt and if we needed more understanding. I am sure that many also agree with how I feel about the professer, that she is kind and fun.
The professor was fun and engaging, she provided lots of help when needed and was considerate with how the class felt collectively.
I think this professor is an amazing professor not only did she make things educational but fun and was always there to help there's just a lot of work to keep up with.
An excellent online teacher, very understanding, and teaches well!
The professor is nice, however, the items she gives you to study is nothing like the exams.
Anyone that would rate her less than a 5/5 did not put effort into her class. She was always ready to hop on zoom to help me, even went out of her way to invite me to extra study meetings. She did not have to do this but still took time out of her week to make sure I passed. I am so grateful for professor Slisher!
I believe the most beneficial thing about this class was the zoom calls and being able to see and hear the lessons. She provided slides and extra information that helped me understand things clearly.
I took her FSW blended online course and she was so sweet and caring. Simple homework due on sundays every week and proctored exams that were pretty easy.
Having this class is really what you make it. It could be the worst experience or the best and for me I had fun even though the topics were challenging. She is AMAZING and even has lecture videos you can watch of her explaining the content. Since it is online most of the studying and doing the work is up to you, but she was really helpful.
Took class fully online. Zooms are optional, but all assignments, quizzes, and exams are due on Sundays. Fairly easy class as long as you complete the work. Usually, assignments consist of three McGraw-Hill assignments, an easy discussion, and sometimes a reflection report. Exams weigh your grade down the harshest, so STUDY STUDY STUDY!!!!!
no surprises exactly what an online class should be
Every week, there were about 2-3 labs (simulations on the textbook website) and an easy discussion. There's a proctored midterm and final (an external camera is required), and both are very easy. Slisher's regular Gen Bio tests are way harder. The class also ends about 3 weeks before the term for whatever reason. Slisher is very kind and helpful.
This was my easiest course this semester. There are two big tests (midterm and final) that are proctored, along with weekly lab assignments. There are weekly discussion posts, but the prompts are easy to understand. Professor Slisher is accessible outside of class and responds to emails efficiently.
I really loved Professor Slisher. She was positive and helpful. She gave the best information and responded within a day when emailed.
Great class for those who want to take biology lab online, the professor is very interactive and you have a week to complete all assignments for that module overall great experience.
This class is amazing, SO EASY midterm/final, given a kahoot which is SO helpful. There is 2-3 labs per week, + discussion. She gives you a week to complete all the assignments. Professor S truly cares about you as well, she has the class finish about 3 week early to allow you to not be stressed. Overall, she was my easiest professor this semester!
Professor Slisher is such a sweet professor and it is so obvious that she cares about her students. The coursework is easy as long as you put a little effort in. I wish I could have a teacher like her for every course, 100% recommend. Her classes full up fast for a reason!
Professor Slisher is exceptional! She is clear, engaging, and genuinely invested in her students success. She explains biology in a way that just clicks, and she consistently goes above and beyond to support learning. She is always very approachable and quick to offer help. Easily one of the most inspiring and caring instructors I have ever had.
Very nice professor! Most of her assignments were online labs with a prelab and post lab quizzes that were all five questions. The online labs were easy to do and very clear on everything that was spoken about in the videos she would post. She was very easy to talk to outside of class with her emails being quick and straight to the point!
Tests are aburdly difficult and ultra-specific; they're worth 60% of your grade too. It's very difficult to raise your grade after doing bad on a test. Don't take this class unless you have a good amount of preexisting bio knowledge. Four exams and a final, some were curved, some weren't. Professor is super nice and will do anything to help you.
