She is a hard teacher, but if you read the textbook in addition to her slides, you can get an A. Really all the exams come from the slides, it can be confusing, but not impossible.

She, along with Prof Singer, saved our class. Our original instructor was hospitalized two weeks before the end of the quarter. They worked hard to get us ready for the final and get everything graded. Also, Dr. Wohlgamuth was always willing to assist and answer any questions. I definitely recommend!

This was a very hard course. The quizzes & Exams were hard but the Prof did everyhting she could to help us get through them. She posted all slides & studyguides. If you use both of those it is possible to do well. She also gave a variety of different type assignments to keep the class interesting & give different points rather than just exams

THis class started out really hard. I almost dropped but I am glad I stuck with it. Prof kept a lot of the easy assignments for the end. Tests and quizzes were difficult but she would often curve and occassionally gave a SMALL amount of bonus points. Even though she was a tough prof she was really nice & seemed to really care & helped as needed

Excellent teacher, helpful when asked.

The further into this class I get the more I am enjoying it. My grade was low at the beginning but now that I am 3/4 thru it is much higher. She is tremendously helpful - lots of study guides, bonus points and curves. Recommend taking it and just sticking with it until the end.

Very interesting class. I would recommend not taking any other classes with this class though. It is A LOT of work. She is a tough grader but I feel like I actually learnt stuff in this class. She gives out plenty of bonus points. You just have to work for them. Power point lectures were good when it came to studying. She was very helpful.

I loved this class. Dr WB is very helpful answers emails quickly and cares about our progress. She is a hard grader and the material is difficult but it was very interesting. she gives bonus ques and extra credit - you do have to work for it but some profs don't give any. Recommend 100%

This was a hard class, but once I broke down and asked for help WB is being very helpful.You have to put time into the class and at times it was a LOT of work. I enjoyed it despite having to work so hard and I actually feel like I learned something I can use in real life.

It was the 1st time I took micro & felt she was too hard of a teacher - too much work. I am currently retaking this class & have found that I am missing her teaching style a lot. She is very approachable and down to earth. She was way better at lab then who I am taking it with now & the lectures were more interesting.Wish I would have worked harder

GREAT class this semester - hard - but there was bonus ques on every quiz and exam, we reviewed before mosts tests and she helped whenever asked! Also there was not as much busy work like there is in some of my other classes!

Shes a good teacher. Helpful, good with communication, work is not tons. Dont listen to the other people who give her poor ratings, they are idiots.

She's not that bad. The course is hard and the tests sometimes have questions that are ridiculous hard but I'm getting a B. I agree that her grading is hard but she is smart and if you study you'll get better grades. If you have no science background it WILL be very difficult for you.

I absolutely love this class, I thought it was slightly hard but easy to understand. I've learned so much from taking this class. I guess other people feel that this was pretty difficult but all learn differently.

She made hard exams but all the other materials helped to bring up the grade. Plus if you asked for help or went to office hours she was really nice and helped. It was my first online class and I didn't know what to expect and she helped a lot. You do have to study so be prepared for it. The first exam was a shock but she helped me figure it out.

Exams are harder than some of my classes but if you take advantage of coming to class and all the help she gives it is an interesting class that you can do well in. Just don't go into it expecting an easy A. I actually Loved it and would take the class again!

I actually loved this class and enjoyed WBs teaching style. She was intelligent and cared about us learning. It was hard material but interesting. Dr. WB was always willing to help if you asked and also didn't hover or nag. I would recommend this class as long as you are willing to work, you will definitely learn a LOT.

Be prepared to work but it was a good class, learned a bunch

I do not like Science but this class made it better. I have always struggled in all my science classes but the combo of the book and the organization of the class helped a ton. My first A in a science class! You have to go to class but it helps, you get extra credit, exams and quizzes were curved. If you use the study materials you can do well!

she seems good so far but post labs are apparently quizzes. quizzes n class 20-25 questions?! i just started this class this semester. shes good in the labs but for lectures it forever drags.... im scared about this class and there are assignments you have to write about something. im not in English class?

I took this online and while it was hard I got all the help I needed to succeed. Jessica was very nice and helpful if you went and asked for help. You have to put the time in but she is there to help you get through it.

I went in expecting this to be hard, and of course it was BUT she had so many study guides, practice tests, and in class assignments I could do well. I really liked the material (except for metabolism) and feel like I learned a ton. Quizzes helped prepare you for exams and exams are supposedly going to help with the final. One of the best classes I

This class was hard but she went out of her way to try and help and accommodate me when needed. IF you put in the time you can do well. Keep all materials and study from quizzes for the exams, use the study guides and powerpoints - the textbook isn't needed she only asks questions from her lectures. She gives partial credit and bonus to help out.

This class was great, she was great. I had to work hard but I learned so much. I suggest not taking any hard classes at the same time and use the materials she provides. I would highly recommend her for micro!

Super sweet and helpful, tough class but I would recommend her.

This was my first blended class so I don't have much to compare with but she made is straightforward and provided a lot to help us succeed. She responded quickly to emails and was super nice when I came to get help. Micro is tough not gonna lie but she will help you - you just have to put the time into it.

This class is hard, I am taking it as a summer class and it goes fast but she wants her students to succeed and all you have to do is ask for help and she will re-explain over and over until you get it. She provides a lot of material to help but you have to really work for your grade. Even though the class kicked my butt I learned a ton!

Hard, but super interesting class. Listen to lectures, do the online assignments, ask questions. She is super easy to get a hold of and will help if asked!

I took her for micro this past summer. She was a hard teacher, but her class was do-able! Her lectures/ lab were interesting. While her tests required lots of studying they really were not that bad if you know the material. My advice for you is to read your notes every night. Also easy bonus point activities offered every class. This was no easy A.

Pros: Very Organized: Clear Lectures, reminds students of upcoming Exams Extra Credit Opportunity is available if you have Questions Con. A perfectionist: deducts points for little things, Grammar, synonym used Test are not the easiest:contain little details. suggestion: Do not take other challenging courses you will Learn alot

The tests were very specific and difficult - study guides were given but not all encompassing. Professor WB was an amazing professor, responded to my questions quickly and posted online lecture videos that I really appreciated. It was a nice change to take an online class that didn't require you to self-teach from the text book.

She is a pretty good professor. She really cares about her students and will help you if you ask. She answers email quickly. Once when I went to her office hours she even stayed an extra 15 minutes to help me get caught up. I will say this is a HARD class. Don't be deceived by "intro" in the title you need to have a solid chem and bio background.

Great professor. Meticulous grader though.

This may be the most challenging college course Ive ever had (and I already have one bachelors degree!) So much work, but, in the end I LOVED it! I learned a hell of a lot. Got a good grade, but worked hard for it. She is a pro and will help you in or out of class. Shes ALL business. Re-listening to lectures online was so helpful.

She is so smart and caring but a tough teacher. Pay attention and take her advice and you will learn a lot. work hard and dont take other hard classes at the same time. use the book at connect that comes with it - that helps. she gives good study guides and will help if you ask but not going to lie - micro is HARD.

Micro is hard - its a weed out class. Be careful not to take too many classes/hard classes at the same time. Dr. BW has some very interesting lectures, hard tests for sure, but she is nice, and does a lot to try and make us pass. Not sure why everyone stuggled so much - other than micro is just tough

She is tough but you will learn so much. Shes very particular about her grading and will take off random amounts like .2 or .4 but does offer extra credit opportunities.

she is fine, get a book, watch the videos, look at the study guides and don't miss assignments

I was really afraid to take micro, and after reviews afraid to take it with her BUT so far this semester I have learned SO MUCH and she provides so many things to help you succeed. Plan to work hard - but that is typical for any micro - use her materials. Textbook isn't mandatory but helpful.

great so far, good study guides, great lectures, material is tough and there is alot of homework to keep track of. very nice teacher will meet 1 on 1 if needed and help you understand material

Dr. WB is 1 of the best instructors I have had, if you go to class n take notes you have all the information you need for the tests BUT the textbook is used for activities throughout the semester n is a pretty decent study tool. BUT if you don't want to fork out the money for it you can get by just fine with materials she gives. She helped me a ton

great class, hard but I knew that going into it. She helped me so much when I would email or come to her office, never ran out of patience with my crazy questions. Use her notes, read the textbook and study the study guides she provides. a lot of work but learned so much!

HARD CLASS but she is good at explaining things. The course is somewhat standard and someone up to the prof so I am not sure what is what but I know that Dr. B could always simplify things to help me understand. There was a lot of work so get a planner and be good at sticking to a calendar. A book is helpful but not necessary.

Dr. WB is such a nice person and really makes herself available to her students. Go see her during offic ehours or email her and she will be super helpful. Attendance in lab is mandatory, in lecture it isn't really mandatory but it makes it super hard if you aren't there. Use her materials and activities to study and you will be good

This was a pretty rough semester but Dr. WB was available anytime - night, weekend, etc - to answer my questions. She did 1 on 1 sessions with me when I asked and provided the class with a lot of material to help us get through. Get the textbook - with connect - and use her notes and guides. It is a hard class but she helps you learn so much!

I have a full load this summer & completely appreciate how Prof. WB has the online course set up and all the materials she provides that set us up for success. She responds to emails quickly, will do 1 -1 call with me when I need them and her live sessions are so helpful. Labs are the absolute worst part but those are standard. Get the book it help

great choice for micro if you actually want to learn - a lot of homework so not an easy A but Jessica is nice, helpful, and provides so many different study aids to help you. Very helpful for nursing, connected things to my other classes (biochem, pathophys, etc) - can't wait to put this info to use

Prof is positive, responsive, and goes out of her way to remind you of what you should be doing and what assignments are due. The course is HARD but I don't think thats her fault, she tries to simplify by using analogies, going over examplse giving study tools/materials. Don't take other hard classes at the same tiem, get the book, and go to class.

I am loving this class, a friend is in another section & is miserable. I would recommend dr Bw any day - Gives alternates for live calls but go if you can they are so helpful! Dont worry about getting the book if you take notes with the videos you will be fine. Theres a lot of tests but if you use the study guides & keep them nearby you will beok

If you have to take micro be prepared it is hard. It will take a lot of your time but I appreciated the organization of the class, the flexibility in live classes available, an the understanding Jessica had when life got in the way. She motivatied throughout class even though it was a LOT of work and hard material. Goes well with phys and biochem

Jessica helped me get through this really tough semester. She always responded to my emails no matter when I sent them and how stupid the question was. She was supportive all semester and gave us lots of materials to help us succeed - tests were brutal BUT I think those were standard tests. Study homework & lecture notes and go to live sessions!

I took 4 classes in the fall and out of all of them Dr. WB had the most organized BB course, I knew where everything was and what to do each week. She also had the best live sessions -so helpful -not mandatory but GO - they help so much. Textbook wasn't really needed if you watch the videos and take notes. The labs and exams were hard but standard

This class is no joke - theres so many assignments but Jessica was so organized, amazing at communicating and keeping us all on track. She was motivating and nice. Its just such a hard class! Use the book and use the study guides. Pay attention to activities she does and the discussion boards -those usually are short answer questions on tests

This class had a lot of assignments but the benefit was if you remembered to do them they always brought up your grade. Tests were hard but followed study guides and practice tests. Group work during live sessions would often end up as short answer questions in tests. If you take good notes no textbook needed even if she said it is required.

This course is hard, theres alot of homework and taking this virtually is NOT ideal. Out of all classes since COVID I felt Jessicas presence more than any other profs an she tried hard to keep us going all semester. She gave other ways to earn attendance and accepted late work which helped me on several occassions. ask for help - she is vry willing

Between the resources she gives and all the reminders over and over, as well as bonus questions and activities you get a lot of help in this class. It is hard for sure but I liked her organization and effort she puts in to help us succeed. I recommend not taking this with other hard classes - and do it In person which I hear is better!

I took this course with online lectures and in person labs. I liked the set up although would have liked more group interaction in labs. The course itself is hard and there are a lot of tests but Jessica was great to work with, stayed after lab if needed, and planned activities and homework to help us on our tests. There is a comprehensive final.

Micro is hard,but Jessica met w/me any time I asked, responded to my endless email questions &offered weekly recitations that were so helpful. While there was assigned reading listening to her lectures was more helpful than any reading. Exams required studying but if you used her resources & put the work in it was doable. Ask for help, shes willing

Biology is not my thing but Dr. B made it doable. Points for taking notes, points for doing labs, lots of reminders, late work accepted. Just tests were hard. Mostly lectures but she made class go by fast by not being boring

It was biology taught at a level that anyone could succeed. You got points for taking notes, two lowest quizzes dropped, some extra credit assignments. If you study at all its super easy to get an A.

took this class where lab was in person & lecture was all online. She had a clearcut organization on how to go through the material - videos, activities, &readings. It was a lot of work but I knew what to do when & felt it was clear what to learn. tests were hard because there's so much to learn in the class. She was nice though and always helped

not hard to get an A, she grades notes, assigns groupwork, weekly quizzes but you drop lowest ones. Tests are pretty hard but many questions are straight from quizzes, homework or study guides so as long as you study those you can get As

Hard tests but straight forward blended class. Labs went by so quick. She answered questions when I asked. Learned a lot.

Tests were hard but she pretty much gives you what type of questions will make up the major points on tests if you pay attention (homework questions, study questions). She gives extra credit opportunities and the bb setup was easy to follow. Answers emails quickly. made time to meet with me when I needed it. If u have to take micro - solid choice

Easy class, grades notes, gives exta credit, quiz questions end up being on the exams. Class is optional but there's a quiz or test every week, days there's not a quiz or exam there's usually group work for homework or bonus. Solid choice

I am currently taking the web version of this course. I knew exactly what to do every week, was reminded of graded work constantly &overall this was a very easy class. The labs were the most time consuming - you do them online with a different site n some of the content was tricky - just cant wait til last minute - but her reminders help with that

The blended course was great, the pace for the entire semester is laid out right from the start, its alot of work but she is really encouraging about getting it done. The labs are 1x a week and are sometimes super busy but she is laid back about it and lets students go at their own pace. It is an interesting class (I am a nursing major)- recommend

Lots of assignments to boost your grade. if you pay attention to activities and practice questions and things she reviews she directs you to what questions will be on the tests. She is quick to email you back and helps when needed. Tests make up 50% of the grade though so you have to study. Labs were very fast paced but you learn a lot with them.

she is a good choice, busy labs, hard tests but if you pay attention to what she hints at its easy to get an A, lots of chances to redo quizzes, she points out important topics that she will test you on, extra credit opportunities etc.

She is so nice and knows her stuff, I loved her and the class was interesting - I could connect it to my job often but its so hard

The web class was straightforward. Dr. WB was very present sending tips an reminders, keeping me going and helping me not to forget things. Homework and lessons were easy. Labs at home took the longest amount of time - they weren't really hard just time consuming. It was worth it to not drive into campus in the end the class as a whole was easy

She was nice and very responsive but the class was hard. I worked my butt off but got an A. If you take her pay attention to her materials - she points you to what questions will be on exams. Lots of exam points so you have to memorize a lot. If you aren't a good test taker don't take her but I learned a lot and I loved her organization

She is a good choice, textbook isn't really needed, attendance in labs is required but you can miss up to two and be ok. Tests are hard but she gives study guides.

Prof. Wohlgamuth-Benedum runs a challenging but rewarding blended course. Tests are tough, but she provides helpful guidance and extra credit opportunities. Unstuck ai was a game-changer for my study prep. Overall, a solid choice if you're willing to put in the work.

Straight forward class, some videos, some ibreractive lessons, homework and quizzes - one midterm and one final - if you keep track of due dates easy to get the as, don't waste money on textbook - her lessons and study materials have everything you need

If online theres alot of work you have to do on your own but she uses recorded lectures and is great at explaning things simply. sometimes the videos are long and slow so speed them up. Tests are hard but the studyguides and practice questions cover the majority. i loved it and connected it to work - the best part so worth it and she is so nice

This was the most present teacher in an online class I have ever had. The online class took a minute to get used to but by the end of the semester I loved it and wished more of my classes were like that. There are a LOT of points on exams and they are hard but if you use the studyguides, guided notes and study activities you can get the A

For an online biology class this is a solid choice. No book, just online lessons, weekly homework that you keep taking u til it's an A and then a quiz from home. You get frequent emails and reminders which helped remind me. One mid term and one final . I hate science but this was doable.

Good choice

Ther is so much content in this class and exams are tricky but if you use the study guides and the guided notes you can do well. I loved her communication- I always knew what to do and when to do if. I was also always to get ahold of her when I had questions and she was helpful when asked.

Not sure why the rating is so low - I will be finishing above 100% in this class. Its a lot of content but stick with the schedule and use the recommended resources and its easy to get As on everything. She will help you if you ask. I learned a lot for nursing. Recommend 100%

Dr WB made this class enjoyable and I learned so much from her and this course over the semester. The material covered was a lot, but she made it clear what was on the tests. I can't wait to take microbiology with her

I took online - wish I took in person - she was very clear and kind but I just couldn't bring myself to watch video recordings. I understook things when she explained them during labs or office hours I just procrastinated - so if you are like me go for in person. Dr. WB though is great - hard tests - part memorization, part applying, lots of help

She is a nice person and makes a lot of sense when explaining things. I liked to meet 1 on 1 with her so try that out. Tests are hard so you need to study but I found if you study with her it's pretty straight forward

I loved Dr. WB she gave us good examples and explained this so good. She is a great help in her office when preparing for exams. Tests are super hard BUT she essentially gives you what will be on there you just have to study it. Labs are my favorite. low pressure, just for the experience, but make sure your on time and come prepared.

Dr. Jessica made a scary class like micro doable. Good Blackboard set up there were lots of extra materials. videos were long but gave you exactly what you needed for tests. Labs were best. they connected to class well. it was so interesting. She was great and helpful when asked. It is a time commitment so be careful not to take too much

I loved her as person, and you could tell she loves microbiology. The class is so hard. Lots to do but I liked her weekly emails and reminders. 5 Big tests - But she gave a ton of study materials, practice quizzes, and study guides. I didn't use the book just her videos and guided notes and did just fine
