Doc is friendly and enjoyable to talk to.

While she is enthusiastic about Bio, she breezes through powerpoints. Tests are worded in very confusing ways and with multiple choice, she will purposely put factual answers about the question that don't SPECIFICALLY answer the question to mix you up.

Super nice and excited but very lackadaisical. She says she will provide study guides or outlines for tests and never does. Says not to read book, so you're left with nothing to study. Tests are very random and questions obscure. Side tracks way to often and for too long which leads to getting off schedule and cramming things in last minute.

In spite of her zest, this class was a disaster. Lectures strayed off topic way too much causing class to get so behind. Because we got so behind, with four class periods left she made us do two at-home-tests over chapters we didn't go over in class, one final exam and one more in class test on top of a paper being due......

I can't express strongly enough how often the lectures went off on an unrelated tangent! It can take upwards of two or three class periods to get through a single chapter because of the side conversation that randomly pops up with her.

Says not to even "read" textbook, strays off topic during lecture and her "harder level" questions that she gives to study are so extraneous and don't relate to her actual tests. You are left having to guess what she may test you on since she doesn't test out of the book and that's all you get.

Doc is such a sweet lady but I really struggled with this course. I read every chapter, listed to all my recorded lectures, never missed a class and came out with a C on most tests. Im not sure what I was missing, but if I talked to her, she was always willing to help. Just be ready for a challenge! I enjoyed the class, just not my grades!

Dr. Forrester was the best professor I have ever had. I am a transient student from KSU and if I could have gone back and done it differently, I would have taken all of my science classes with her. She is very straight forward with what you need to know. she really cares about her students and that was a big thing for me. It made me enjoy her class
