She's definately out there. I mean she'll treat you like an adult, but her prelabs are long and boring. She'll tell you if you got right/wrong answers, but you still won't make a 100 on the CT's. Go see her at her office hrs., but def go see Dr. Lepri or Tomlin if you think she graded u too hard.

She is very helpful and will gladly repeat something more than once. She uses a lot of visual aides and is very animated. She does talk fast but she makes sure everyone understands the material before moving on!

Julia Loreth is a great teacher, especially when compared with others who also teach biology. It is obvious that bio is a hard topic, so it is impossible to pass it w/o putting in the effort regardless of who your teacher may be. I am planning on majoring in it and understand that anything really worth having is worth the work, period.

She is a great teacher when it comes to getting the information across clearly. She passes around an attendance sheet but she doesnt check it, so you can skip if you want. i wouldn't reccommend skipping though; she packs a lot of info in one class. She makes it really easy to take notes from her lecture, and offers tons of extra time out of class.

I really liked her...she changed my view of biology...her test were really hard for me but i went to her office regularly and she was very helpful but then you have to remember we are in college not high school

She is a very nice teacher. Her tests are very tricky but she gives you all the notes in class. If you show up to class and tak notes and study the notes and do the review worksheets you should be fine. A really enjoyable class although the tests are hard she really takes her time to make sure you understand the material.

She is amazing! I love having her. Although we are not close to done with the class, I know I will do well. She is ALWAYS willing to help/tutor. She goes over stuff multiple times until everyone understands it. Her tests are straightforward if you study...and she even tells you some of the questions...shes super sweet and really funny too!

One of the best professors I have had in my academic career. She delivers information in a very entertaining and energetic way. The Lecture tests are very tough but the are straight out of her notes.(Unless she states otherwise) The Final was the easiest test ever. They consisted of test questions asked on previous exams. You will really enjoy her!

She is a great teacher.

After 18 years away from college I returned to take BIO 111 for my first class.This teacher is packed with enthusiasm and energy and made this class as interesting as it can get in learning any subject.

THIS IS THE BEST BIO PROFESSOR AT UNCG. HER TEST ARE HARD BUT SHE WILL WORK WITH YOU. I WOULD SUGGEST YOU TAKE HER. AND SHE DROPS THE LOWEST TEST GRADE!!!

I think Julia looked good all the time and regret not spitting some game.

I disagree with most comments.She is extraordinarily knowledgeable about the topics and provides excellent examples.Not an easy class and requires time but shes always willing to help and responds promptly to email.She doesnt try to trick but instead wants an application of material on exams. Also offers extra credit so you cant say shes not fair!

Professor Loreth was a great professor. She is strict, but she is passionate about what she teaches you and will help you at all cost. I usually don't understand Biology and I got an A- in her class. If taking BIO 105, I strongly suggest her.

She was very efficient in covering material and the tests weren't too bad. By far the quickest ever at grading and returning emails and everything is very organized. She is a real scientist, not someone that worships the gospel of textbooks as college campuses tend to do these days, progress/new ideas are made thru people like her,highly reccomend

Unless you are apathetic and/or lazy, choose her. She is enthusiastic about teaching. IF you don't want to learn and want to whine/complain, expecting to be handed a grade to suit your ego because that's what you've been taught that you're entitled to receive, you should avoid her. She suffers no fool. She has much to offer if you want to learn.

This is not an easy class, I got an A, but I worked very hard for it. With that said, this woman knows her stuff. I like that she's not super "textbook dependent." I got sick of hearing people complain about her. Yes, her tests are difficult, but as long as you're willing to put forth actual effort, you'll do fine. She grades tests very quickly.

I felt she was a great teacher! I had her for the lab as a teacher, but she guest lectured in my lecture class one day. That day was the only day I was awake and taking notes. But, she thoroughly went through the material that the lab dealt with each time. Sometimes it got annoying because we knew the material already. I enjoyed her lab.

Took this class during the summer. Moved very fast, however she is a no nonsense teacher. She does what makes sense and doesn't do what doesn't, unlike some profs. She is extremely happy to clarify if you're confused and repeat things if you do not hear them. Her tests were on the harder side and could be cryptic, but I still came out with an A.

I love her!

EXCELLENT teacher. Cannot convey how helpful she is; her lectures are very clear. She does diagrams and pictures of almost everything. She tells you in great detail what will be on the tests. She is very fair. I took the summer class and it went very fast, but I still learned a LOT, and my interest level in the subject is much greater now.

Pre-lecture quizzes suck and she won't post the answers because she knows hers are debatable. Lectures make sense, and they will stick if you read the textbook too. I would recommend her as long as you are ready to work. Pro tip, work on the quizzes as a group. Use your attempts to try questions singularly and fill in final answers with last try

I had her for lab and she is very helpful at giving a clear understanding of the material, but she is a bit quick paced. I did pretty well in the class, but she was a bit of a tough grader. Don't miss any days for labs; you can lose lots of points for missing one day. She is very knowledge in biology and can help you if you ask for help.

She presents the classes with an outline and she fills in information as she lectures. I have never had a teacher more clear and concise. She also repeats important concepts over and over again. Pre-lecture quizzes can be a little annoying because she makes spelling mistakes sometimes. But overall this class is really easy if you put in the effort.

Mrs. Loreth is tough. I won't deny it but she is a fair grader. She has a dry sense of humor and can get a little weird at times. If you aren't willing to put in the effort, don't take the class because there is a lot of memorization, especially in bio 111.

She always reviewed as soon as lab started! She was awesome!

I don't understand why so many people give her a hard time! You can take the quizzes several times, she gives SO MUCH extra credit at the end of the semester, and the tests are a good representation of what she goes over in class. She makes it very clear what you will be tested on.

Her class Isn't as hard as people make it seem, however it is not easy. If you take good notes there is no reason you shouldn't make atleast a C. Work together with your classmates to do canvas quizzes and assignments. Her tests contains lots of diagrams but everything she tests on is either in the book or lecture.

Very good way of explaining the material and brings excitement to the topics.

Personally she my favorite professor, if you attend class and actively listen you'll be fine. She does a great job of explaining things and gives a lot of real world examples to help your understanding. If she moves to fast or you don't understand all you have to do is ask her for extra help. The class is what you make of it.

she explains well.

If you really want to learn about Biology take her if you don't find someone else. I had for Bio111 lecture and lab and for Bio112. She has quizzes that's online open book and open source she will mention it to you in class and will say it so many times that you get the message. She will help you during her office hours and after class. I love her.

Good professor but grades heavy. I took her for bio lab and it was ok. Average class just grades on the most minute things which can get kind of annoying but overall is okay. Nothing too major. She cares about her class and is a very sweet lady!

Extremely energetic and great at connecting to everyday life

I enjoyed this professor. I know a lot of people did not like her. She explains very well and will do what ever she needs to do for you to do well in her class and other classes. Go to her office hours she is very helpful there and explain things in greater detail. Her class is hard, I will not lie but if you pay attention youll learn a lot.

This professor was great. She connected the materials well to every day life and was very caring and helpful in office hours. You have to put in effort though, and if you put in the effort she will put in effort. She helped me in office hours a lot and is very knowledgeable about Biology. Put in the work and you will be fine.

I freaking love Julia, I don't know what everyone is talking about, she is really straight forward with her lecture, she makes biology simple and she repeats herself over and over again so you can take down notes, if you put in the effort and go to class, you'll get a good grade. She is way better than a lot of the professors that teach bio 111.

Professor Loreth great professor. She does go very quickly during lecture but she repeats everything about 10 times so if you don't get it by then you're just dumb. She is a very kind and caring lady so if you have a question so don't be afraid to talk to her after class. 10/10 would recommend.

Bio 111L is just an easy lab, but having Loreth makes it easier because she'll start lab with about a 30 minute explanation of the lab and where she basically gives you all the answers to the lab. Feel free to ask questions because she'll always have an answer.

I had Loreth for Bio 111 and I can honestly say that while I did have to work hard for my grade it was a really worthwhile class. She gives a lot of homework and online quizzes but if you do well you can use these to your advantage and boost your grade. Attendance is definitely mandatory but there's no Pearson lab and mastering which means no book.

Professor Loreth was a great professor for me, the class was a little challenging but she gave out many assignments and man extra credit to boost up your gpa. I went into the class was a low c and a 69 on my first exam and ended the class with a A-

I loved professor Loreth! One of the best biology professors. She is very engaging and interesting to listen to if you ask me. Attendant is very important. I'd take her class again any day!

Take her! while it may take hard work I went up 10 points on my average. Tons of assignments to help your grade!

Not horrible, but definitely makes you work for your grade. She's passionate and uses lots of visual aids in lecture. Online quizzes are quite difficult, and they are timed - usually one minute to answer each question. Often she will test on things that are not in her outline, but things she has said in lecture, so I recommend not skipping class.

Professor Loreth is a great teacher. She explains the material very well. Her expectations for a 111 class, though, are high. The online quizzes are timed and not too easy, and cover chapters not taught yet. But, she is extremely fair on testing what was covered in class. If you go to class, pay attention, and take good notes, you will be fine.

Dr. Loreth is a very passionate teacher who teaches and speaks passionately about the topics she covers in her classes. She is readily-available if you need help on homework, or on topics you don't understand, as well as she gives lots of opportunities to raise raise your grades. Make sure to STUDY THOSE TOPICS she covers IN HER LECTURES.

Loreth is a great professor. She is very interested in her field of study and it shows through her teaching. She is very straight forward and uses tons of questions & examples to help you understand. Make sure you go to class, pay attention to what she says and take notes, and do all assignments to the best of your ability, That is the way to pass.

When it comes to quizzes and homework they do have to have specific answers but shes totally fine with you working together to get the right answer. You do have to study a lot but she does her best to give you resources to help out. She does move around a lot and uses diagrams to help make sure you're understanding the material.

Loreth is a good professor who knows her stuff. She doesnt take excuses and has high expectations. She is always willing to help, and SIP is great. If you take this class make sure you go to SIP!!

Ya'll she is not that bad!! She gives extra credit if you show up for lecture. Her lectures are fine, she will try to help you understand the material by using diagrams and materials in class. Her tests are okay, I was able to pass her class with an A. MAKE SURE YOU GO TO SIP, old tests of hers are shown! As long as you study, you'll be fine.

I saw her reviews on this app before I started her class, so I became nervous. Honestly she is an amazing professor. Shes knows what shes taking about. Give her respect, she will do the same. Id say go ahead and find a big group to work with so you can all help each other out on the quizzes. Julia doesnt mind if you help each other on quizzes.

Professor Loreth is tough and she will definitely make you work to do well. Her exams are challenging but by studying your assignments, notes, and quizzes, being successful is possible. She is lecture heavy, but is available during office hours and she will help you understand concepts and assignments.

Julia is a very intelligent professor at UNCG. But, she does make you work for a good grade in her class. The material she teaches, she expects you to know come test day. She is famous for her pop quizzes during class in an attempt to help you receive a few extra points to improve your grade, which is why attendance is important! She is also funny!

I loved her teaching style and she really pushes you to work and understand the material. This isn't an easy A course, but I left feeling as if I knew the material better than I would have with other professors.

She's a good professor and tries to explain everything during the lecture, she also gives many examples to help us understand the material. The exams are really hard and there is a lot of homework. The class is really hard but if you study and do everything on time you will pass.

Gives the occasional in class assignments and extra credit (doesn't warn you) Great Lecturer Ask questions if you need it and GO TO OFFICE HOURS Taken BIO 111 and BIO 112 and I loved taking it with her

Great Professor. She kind, understanding, and the people who complain are the people who sit in the back and stay on their phones. She actually cares for your education and wont give you questions that are straight of the internet so you have to think for yourself. Awesome first semester and signed up for next semester too.

Awesome Professor. Had her my first semester for 111 and now 112. Homeworks got a little harder in this class but I also stopped reading the textbook in this class. Awesome lectures just pay attention and youll get at least a low B.

Still a great professor when moved online because of COVID-19. Always loves when you talk back and understanding about situations.

JULIA IS AMAZING. I took her 2019-2020 with BIO 112 and 111. All the people who complain about her honestly don't need to be Bio majors. Yes, she makes you work for it but so you actually keep what you learn in the class and not learning for memorization. I've come to know Julia as a professor and trusted professional. Talk to her she isn't scary.

When I first started her class and after seeing other reviews I was terrified. I too am a typical straight A student who suddenly felt at risk of failing simply because of the way she teaches. You're gonna need to be adaptable and willing to study if you want to pass; it's not impossible, but you're going to have to actually take care in your work.

Julia is great at explaining things and is very open to questions and further explanation. She explains the material before the lab, helps when there is confusion, and is kind. While she is a little odd, I find that to be a good thing. She goes above and beyond by making sure that we understand the material we are covering in bio lecture.

She moves very fast, I wouldnt necessarily say that it is a bad thing, but sometimes you might get lost. Not sure how she is lecture wise, but she is okay as a lab instructor. She is a very harsh grader though, hense my low grade.

Julia was a cheerful instructor and always answered questions. But, she's a really tough grader and wants things perfect (understandable, but difficult to keep up to as a freshman). You need to really good with your words for your lab report. Make sure you find good lab partners on the first day, because you're stuck with them throughout!

I had Professor Loreth for lab, not as bad as she was made to be. She does talk quietly which comes off as her moving at a hasty pace. She weighs her points mostly on file uploads, and not a lot on analysis pieces, which was a plus for me and easy points for me. She may have been blunt at times but she was very straightforward and amazing!!
