She is super nice!! Take her! Labs are so easy and you don't even turn those in. Prelabs are completion. The quizzes seem a little tough, but once you take the first one you will know what to expect. We usually were not there the whole time. The midterm was tough though.

Nicest lady ever. Doesn't collect the labs and we usually were not there the whole time. Quizzes are hard but if you take notes on the powerpoints at the beginning of class you should do fine. Midterm is super hard but final project makes up for it! Go to every class if you cant she really works to help you makeup lab

Prof Wolters is one of the nicest ladies ever. I don't like bio so I was struggling and she helped me so much! You have about 4 exams and lots of quizzes. he explains things very well but do be prepared to do some work.

Her lectures are long but you don't really need to pay attention to be honest. She gives you a review packet before the tests thats all you really need to study and the power points on line. only takes the test out of 70 when there are 75 questions. she rocks nicest lady ever. one of my favorite professors

Wolters is one of the best professors I've had since college. She's really personable and makes the lectures go smoother. I'd definitely take her class again. Not a lot of homework, but she gives quizes often that you have to study for. Tests are multiple choice, so that makes them easier.

Nicest professor at UD & very clear & lenient. Helps you to get a good foundation in cellmole. bio. Tests, quizzes, and assignments are extremely easy and only from the things mentioned in class (extra credit on each quiz, test, and end of the semester for a total of 40 points 9%). TAKE HER! Easy A, and you actually learn a lot from this course.

One of my favorite teachers I've ever had. She's so sweet, funny and genuine. I definitely recommend taking her class.

She is awesome! so funny and such a good teacher, she is super nice and helpful. Her tests are 75 questions, but she only takes them out of 70 points. So far my favorite professor at UD.

Prof. Wolters is passionate about biology and having her students succeed. It is sometimes difficult to pay attention because the class is so large, but she tries to make it engaging. I found the quizzes to be much more difficult than the exams. Takes 75 question exams out of 70 so pretty easy to do well, but definitely need to study

Definitely recommend taking Prof Wolters! She is so funny! Go to class because she is so funny and makes it interesting. The class isn't necessarily easy, but she makes it very manageable and interesting!

If you show up to class, take good notes (or even just pay attention the entire time), and study for the tests you should be good. She is always giving feedback and is always there for every student. She was like a Mom to me! Funny, caring, her class was pretty standard, but she was a great teacher to have! I also read my book a lot.

Professor Wolters is super nice and will always answers any questions you have. Going to class is important because she gives hints as to what will be on the tests and quizzes. There is a quiz each week with one bonus point on each quiz and then there are 5 bonus points on each of her tests. Her lectures are usually pretty clear.

Professor Wolters is hands-down the best professor I've ever had at UD. She is so knowledgeable and makes her lesson plans very interesting. She's also hilarious and makes the class enjoyable. Only 3 tests plus a final, and as long as you study and go over your notes, they're easy. Would recommend her to anyone, no matter the major!

Lectures are fun. Very easy class as long as you keep up with the reading. Science was never bearable before Dr. Wolters. TAKE HER

She is very enthusiastic and can tell she loves what she does. Has 4 exams covering 5 chapters, but gives you a hefty study guide well in advance to help you prepare, also holds a review session before the exam. I have her at 8 AM and she has never cancelled class. Would really recommend her, very good start to my mwf

I hate science and this is my favorite professor at UD. Clearly passionate about biology and does everything she can to make lectures and boring subjects funny and interesting. If you're looking to knock out your biology requirement and you want a class taught by someone who cares, this is your professor.

Wolters is a gem. She's a UD grad, and she acts like it. She schedules a review session the day before all of her tests and makes you a study guide. If you go to the review session you'll get an A. Her final is NOT cumulative. Gives a lot of extra credit opportunities and hardly ever gives homework.

I would recommend her for basic biology. She gives homework and quizzes but they are super easy if you study. Taking notes and actually going to class will help do well on her tests. She offers so much extra credit to help boost your grade. The class can be boring sometimes but if you study a decent amount, it is an easy A.

Prof. Wolters has to be one of the sweetest profs in the Bio department! She is very understanding if you can't make class or if you need help w/ the material. She understands that some kids take her class b/c they have to, so she goes out of her way to make her classes as relevant as possible. If you need a science class, take Prof. Wolters!

I LOVE professor Wolters! This is my second time taking her and I couldn't imagine taking bio from anyone else! I am actually taking her for Bio 152 next semester. Take her!!

I will recommend Wolters until I die, SHE IS AMAZING. Quizzes are decently hard but tests are easy and worth a-lot more than the quizzes. Makes study guides and has review sessions. She does her best to make lectures relevant and she usually succeeds. You can truly tell she is passionate about what she does and for her students. TAKE IF YOU CAN!

I had professor Wolters for Bio 151 and she was amazing. She is one of my favorite teachers and is hilarious. She makes the lectures fun and is great at explaining the information. There are a lot of quizzes and they are somewhat difficult, but if you study for the quizzes, you are gold for the tests. I highly recommend.

Absolutly 100% reccomend. I have had other bio professors here and she is by far the absolute best. Great lectures and really helps you understand all the concepts without making class painful. Just do the work asked and you will pass. Solid Choice!

Professor Wolters is super nice and caring and really wants her students to succeed. She provides students with all the resources they need to succeed from review sessions/packets and powerpoints. There was a quiz or an exam almost every week but if you put in the work they were very easy and straightforward.

This class was super easy and she is very helpful! I would take hr again because she clearly cares about your success.

Great prof, really cares about you and makes the subject matter easier to understand. Study hard for the quizzes, do the review packets and you will be fine.

Super nice to me but I do know she is harsh if you don't do well on tests and go to her office hours. Love her lectures, very easy to understand and likes to talk about partying lol

Absolutely amazing person and teacher. Class can be boring most of the time but she makes it worth sitting through. Quizzes are difficult but prepare you well for the exams. Use office hours whenever you can. She will talk with you even if it isn't about the class. One of my favorite people of all time.

Professor Wolters is literally the best person in the world. Not only is her class super interesting but she has very clear lectures and definitely does a good job at making them interesting. The quizzes and tests are very presentation based so just go through and make sure you know those highlighted terms! The quizzes are difficult just study.

Prof Wolters is super caring and she will throw in some funny jokes from time to time. She really wants you to do well in her class and even afterwards. You can go to her with anything.

She is a great prof and gives great lectures but she does go very fast. If you are someone who struggles with science, prepare to watch a lot of khan academy and to do a lot of extra work to try to get a passing grade.

One of the best teachers in Dayton. Shes extremely caring. I arrived late to a quiz and an exam, and she let me take it after the class. She organized her class in Power Points, but she gives a entertaining and clear lecture. Also, she gives study guides, for every exam. Highly recommend her!

I LOVE professor Wolters. Extremely nice woman and is passionate about what she teaches. She's very understanding and cares about her students. The only complaint I have with her is she is very nit-picky on her exams. All extended response questions and if you don't have something word-for-word she will dock a few points, but gives great feedback!

Wolters is super nice and very approachable if you have any questions. She is also good at explaining things during the lecture which makes it a little more bearable to sit through. The only thing about her is that her quizzes are super hard, like a lot harder than the tests. You really have to know the material if you want to do decent on them.

Love, love, love Prof. Wolters! If you are a non-bio major definitely take her. She makes the class so interesting and explains the material clearly. So glad I decided to take her for this class!

Mrs. Wolters is a great professor, I didn't even try to get to know her yet she knew my name and I exchanged hellos with her outside of class. A real genuine woman. Her class is lecture heavy and I feel asleep in nearly all of them, but she still cared about me and saw that I cared for the class. She will help you out and if you study u will learn.

Professor Wolters's class was one class where I felt I actually mastered the topics rather than memorizing them. She does her best to make her lectures fun and interesting, and is a great person crazy about biology!

Prof Wolters is a really nice and caring teacher there's no denying that. What's difficult about the class is having to know almost everything for her fill-in the blank quizzes. Her exams are for the most part all Multiple Choice so if you're good at taking MC tests, you might do fine in this class. Otherwise, be prepared to learn everything.

Easily one of the best biology professors Ive ever had. Her quizzes and tests are definitely tough, so be attentive during lectures. Plus, theres not too much homework.

I highly recommend anyone to take professor Wolters! She is so caring and compassionate about her students and is very passionate about biology. She is by far one of my favorite professors on this campus. Tests and quizzes are tough, but you have all the material given in class or on Isidore accessible, so if you study you will do very well.

Professor Wolters really cares about all of her students and loves meeting with you after class and during her office hours. Bio 152 is a time investment but she makes it very interesting with lots of examples. There are weekly quizzes and 4 exams throughout the class but all material is stuff she covers in her lectures. Print out her lectures!!!

This class is very easy if you just do the homework. I have heard that the upper-level bio classes with her are a lot harder but bio 101 is cake. The quizzes are tough, but quizzes are only worth 15% of your whole grade and there are no tests. Also, there is a lot of extra credit. Do the work and extra credit and you will get at least an A-.

Prof Wolters really cares about your success. You will have to work hard in this class but it pays off! I view the world differently because of what I learned in BIO 152.

Quizzes are the hardest part. Suggest reading over powerpoints to study. Print out powerpoints and write notes on them. Moves quickly, there is a lot of information on Powerpoints, won't have time to write everything down. ANY THING SHE WRITES ON THE BOARD WRITE DOWN. Loves making people draw on the quizzes as well so learn how to draw everything.

Her teaching syle is not for everyone but I did well in the class. If you put in the work, its not too hard to get an A. You do have to spend a lot of time studying for the quizzes and tests however. Go to SI and study with the other people in the class and you will proabbly be okay

Dr. Wolters' class isn't easy - quizzes are tough (with fill-in-the-blank, short-answer, and/or drawing), as are the exams, and there's a ton of information covered in each lecture. She's really nice though and breaks things down very well in lectures. Take good notes and study regularly and you'll do just fine - I'd definitely recommend her class.

Wolters is really nice but honestly her class was so boring. She cares more than any of my other professors and always loves to chat after class. She knows her stuff but she goes very slow during the beginning of the unit and then tries to speed up because she can't get through everything. Overall, show up & work hard and you will be fine.

It took me a while to understand her teaching/grading/test style. But once you figure out how she does her quizzes and tests, its easier to prepare for them. Go to the SI sessions, they are extremely helpful. Her lectures can put you to sleep, but do all the optional homework and review the questions on the study guide, they are all on the test

She really cares about her student's success and gives you everything you need to do so. Go to class because if you miss one, you miss a whole chapter or two. Really know the materials because there are two quizzes per unit. She loves to talk and get to know students. Always helpful.

I really enjoyed Professor Wolters! BIO152 is just a lecture heavy class, that is not her fault. She does a great job explaining the material and she is super friendly and available if you need extra help. She keeps the lectures interesting because she is funny and very personable. She also gives great feedback, and there is SO much extra credit.

She gave great lectures! The only thing difficult about this class was the tricky wording on quizzes and tests. As long as you study outside of class you can get an A.

You either love her or you hate her. Make sure that you pay attention to anything she says or draws in class. Her quizzes are tricky, and you have to study a lot for them. Her exams are a little easier but they have a lot of content on them. I studied a lot and did fine. At the end of the day, she knows a lot and cares about her students!

Is lecture heavy and goes kind of fast at times. There are lots of opportunities to get extra credit and partial points on quizzes, but they are all open-ended questions. The exams are all multiple choice, and the final isn't cumulative so that helped my grade a lot.

I have taken her for two semesters. Just get to know her. She is very kind and always ready to help her students. I think she knows every one of her student's names. Lectures are a lot but if you study and draw the diagrams you will have success on the quizzes.

Wolters is clearly very knowledgeable. She covers so much material in such little time that you really need to attend classes and take good notes to absorb all the info. WRITE DOWN ANYTHING SHE PUTS ON THE WHITEBOARD because it will definitely be on a quiz. She is a very nice woman - her teaching style just isn't for everyone (I really liked her)

I think Professor Wolters is better than people think. She does go over time in class & her quizzes are harder than the exams. Her lectures were boring but the content came easy to me. Do the review packet and session for each unit & you should be fine for the exams. She also throws out questions on exams & quizzes which can boost your grade.

Lecture-heavy class, but with helpful extra credit and partial credit opportunities. Exams are mainly multiple choice, with a non-cumulative final. unstuckstudy proved useful for efficient study prep.

I really enjoyed Prof. Wolters! It is evident she cares about her students, and she is really funny. The hardest part about the classes were the quizzes, but I found the exams really easy. She is strict on attendance. Make sure to write what she says during lecture down, especially what she puts on the board. Study for quizzes and you will be fine!

Professor Wolters is one of the best professors I have ever had. She truly cares about her students and their success. Her class prepared me for some of the more difficult classes at UD such as physiology. While her quizzes are difficult, they teach you how to study in college. Also, the exams are easy compared to the quizzes.

This is a hard class regardless of the professor. There is SO much content and you need to pay attention in class. Quizzes are hard but don't severely impact your grade (use as a way to study). Exams are much easier than quizzes and you get a few "free" questions. Take notes and go to SI sessions! She is friendly and will answer all questions.

Lectures can be boring at times, but you can tell she is passionate about what she teaches. Quizzes are hard, and even with two bonus points, it's hard to get an 8 or higher. They don't hurt your grade too badly, and exams aren't too difficult. All the exams have a review guide that's due the day of the exam and takes time out of class.

I will not lie, she falls behind quite often when it comes to her lectures, making it harder for the students. But she posts online videos and is very forgiving with a lot of things. The biggest downside of the class are the stupidly hard quizzes and tricky exams. However, if you want to learn bio, take her. She's an amazing teacher whos exams suck

I would recommend

Professor Wolters is an amazing professor. She is extremely passionate about what she teaches, and she is very caring. You need to make sure you stay on top of your work in this class and study HARD for these quizzes and exams. If you show up and actively listen and participate, this course is a lot of fun.

I was initially skeptical, but I liked her as a teacher. She talks a lot and often goes overtime. Reviewing/memorizing her slides helped me the most in succeeding. Gives out review packets that take a while, but it helps in studying for her exams. Lots of quizzes that are challenging, and wording can be hard to understand. Lots of extra credit!

Hard exams and even harder quizzes. Study, study, study, READ

I thoroughly enjoyed having Julie Wolters as a teacher. She's incredibly passionate about the content, and recites most of it from memory during lectures. I would say the course content is not difficult as a whole, it's just basically all memorization. If that's what you're good at, then I totally recommend her classes! (lots of extra credit too)

When I enrolled in her class, I was nervous. I was pleasantly surprised. If something isn't on the slides, it won't be on the exam. Her personality is friendly. Often lightens the mood with humor. Grading is fair and transparent: there's plenty of extra credit. Her exams are fair and if you keep up with quizzes, you'll do well on the exams

Her quizzes are prob the hardest thing. She has these bio pick questions that make you think. You have to study outside of class (no way around that) She's pretty strict on academic integrity. You will have a syllabus quiz. Overall, don't panic! If you need help GO TO OFFICE HOURS. To add, go to bio SI; or the library n lock in.

Prof. Wolters is one of the sweetest professors out there. Despite having 200+ students, she knew almost all of us by name. Her quizzes are hard but if you study they're fine, plus there was extra credit built into every quiz. Exams are worth most of your grade but she gives you a review packet that really helps and gives you a 5 point buffer.
