Junko?s a really sweet professor. If you?re a person that might miss class a lot take her! She doesn?t drop people for missing class, but if you have great attendance she raises your grade at the end of semester. Her class is really easy and so are her exams (even if you barely study).

straight forward, gives you notes, offers a lot of extra credit, highly recommend

Highly recommended. She is very clear on what she wants you to study. Whatever she says in lecture will be on the test. If you pay attention to what she says and take good notes the tests will be easy, plus she gives so many opportunities for extra credit. She also matches what she teaches to what your lab teacher is teaching.

Suzuki was a pretty great teacher. Her test were fairly easy and she sometimes lets you use a hand written cheat sheet. She also give a lot of easy extra credit.

Those who failed to prepare says that Suzuki is a poor teacher but that isn't true. She explains the section that we are covering well. and she does everything possible to help you pass.Suzuki gives alot of extra credit and attendance isn't mandatory, but if you do not attend her class and are on the borderline by a point or so you will not get it.

EXCELLENT teacher. She will NOT spoon feed. She out lines the chapters and gives you what you need to know for exams. If she doesnt cover it-it's not on the test! But you need to STUDY! I scored over 100 on each of first 4 test, was exempt from the last and I do not care for science. Teaches ahead of labs. Lots of extra credit. Take notes & STUDY.

sweet lady. knows her stuff. very helpful and friendly.

Mrs. suzuki is a great teacher, I wish I could take any other class with her. She is very helpful, all her tests are based on her notes and powerpoints, she will explain whatever you did'nt understand. She gives extra credit on every test and lets you email her at any time. I highly recommend her just study hard.

Very clear in her instruction and puts forth a lot of effort in her lectures. Gives a reasonable amount of extra credit. Very organized. The exams require a lot of studying, but she tells you exactly how to prepare. As long as you put forth the effort, you'll find her class to be a breeze. Also, she's one of the nicest professors I've ever had.

She was an okay prof. nothing really special, chill lady. Usualy had extra credit on the tests.

Loved tis class, she keeps things as simple as she can. The test focus more on the notes. Yet, if you are confused about something the book always covers what she talks about. When studying focus on the notes! Thus, don't miss class, or you will miss the notes.

Found Professor Suzuki very knowledgable. Attendance is necessary (as it SHOULD be for every class) and she is very clear. We got to throw out one exam. If we did well on the first three we could skip the last one.

Easy Class. As long as you show up and study your notes. Test are straight from her notes. Also provides plenty of extra credit. No final or midterm, 5 test, with the lowest grade dropped.

had her for a sub shes amazing sweet little lady whose very intelligent and clear on whats expected. shes very backed off during the lab unless you have questions which is good she doesn't interrupt and prior to the lab she explains everything you have to do extremely well. dont listen to the others shes a great teacher I wish she were my prof.

Suzuki is a great teacher. I had her for lab, be prepared to do a lot of work on your own, because after all this is college and the book walks you through everything. She was always very friendly and helpful to me, all you have to do is ask. I have seen way worse here at AVC, so if you can't handle her, you are not going to make it at AVC.

Ms. Suzuki is a nice lady, she can be strict, but only for the benefit of her students. Her exams are base on her notes!(:

Suzuki was fair and I really can't complain too much. Some of her tests were a bit confusing (I think it's due to the wording and English being a second language for her). Her lectures and everything is very structured.

She is a straight forward Biology teacher. She'll teach you what you need to know for her test and for lab, no surprises no loopholes. You need to study for the test, but as long as you pay attention in class, you should be okay.

This instructor is the clearest lecturer at avc. She has an accent but you'll adjust and understand her. The lectures are straight forward and contain all needed info for tests. I love bio and I loved her class. No hw, just take notes, read them, and show up for the tests. Easy A but you'll also learn a lot.

Suzuki is real cut and dry. She provides notes for you to take down, and then goes over them in lecture. She doesn't like you to get up and leave during class, makes you write your name on the board if you do. Tests are tough because she wants you to "understand the material, not memorize it." Show up, listen, and study and you may pass.

Many students think they can just enroll in a bio class and expect to get a good grade without putting much effort to pass it. Suzuki will test your intelligence and your capacity to learn the material. She will discipline you and wants you to understand what you learn. if you possess none of the intelligence and discipline this class is not 4 u.

Her class is for serious students only. Use common sense and don't disrupt class or have your phone out. Readoutline the chapter BEFORE, and the lecture will enhanceexplain. Her tests are formatted confusingly (side by side Qs AND As rather than up and down) but the questions themselves are clear. There was a lot of extra credit too.

No homework, lectures are clear if you pay attention take notes, study and you will be fine. She really doesn't like people who talk text or sleep, she will kick you out. Just be quiet take notes.

If you are organized, study, and have good work ethic, this class shouldn't be difficult. Grade consists of 4 exams; take 5, drops lowest. No study guides. Reviews info, gives workshts to help. Gives enough time to copy notes. Study from notes! Use txtbook to further understand notes. Often extra credit questions on exams and extra cred. quizzes.

5 tests, class filled with her notes and lecture but does not give study guide for her tests. If you don't understand and connect the book to her notes the test can be hard. She does know the information very well, but her tests are pretty hard.

Shen is a great Instructor but be prepared to study. I do not recommend her if your study habits are poor or you like to procrastinate. Her tests are a bit difficult but again if you put your heart into studying you will be fine. She is not for the lazy easy A type of students. Id take her again :)

Junko is a great teacher. I don't understand all the negative reviews. She's a tough cookie, but I think she just cares about her field of study. If you read the material and do your best you can get an A or B. What she doesn't like is people on their cell phones or ignoring her, but how would you like it? I can't wait to take her for microbiology!

She's a strict teacher and attendance is the ultimate key! Show up to every lecture and take notes on EVERYTHING she has up because that's what will be on the test. Don't memorize the charts she put's up, try to learn them. Other than that you'll be fine. Just study your notes and charts!

She makes you work for it and you HAVE to study but she gives you everything you need to pass and gets you well prepared for lab. Her lesson plan mostly goes along with the lab so you dont have to be studying for separate things which is really nice. Not an easy class but definitely doable.

She is nice and will answer your questions. Is strict with attendance. Don't be late she will leave you outside. Unless your sick or pregnant she won't let you use the restroom, she says it herself. Her tests are hard to get an A unless you study. She will answer questions though and even asks you if you have questions.

Suzuki is tough but at the beginning of the semester she let's you know what she expects of you! I haven't taken a bio class in 7 years and was lost at first. Finding your own way of studying is a MUST! NO homework. 5 tests, some extra credit! Overall, pay attention, study and read your lab manual. It helps a lot!

I took Suzuki for intersession & she not bad. Shes actually a good teacher, shell answer all of your questions. Shes strict but caring! She didnt provide study guides for the practicals which made it harder for me to study. Over all I think I wouldve passed with an A or B if I wouldve studied more. STUDY!!!& take the daily quizzes seriously.

Took this class online and it wasn't bad! Do what you are supposed to do, attend class, and ask questions. She responds to emails within minutes, daily quizzes/exams were all open book, and she does teach at a fast pace so be prepared to teach yourself sometimes. Yes, she's strict and serious but not as much as before when I had her for BIO101.

Professor Suzuki is a very straightforward professor, very strict on tardies and attendance may often come off as rude but is just being straightforward. Tests come straight from her lecture power points, expect you to know what to do in the lab so read your manual before class and you should be fine helps only if you ask for help.

Professor Junko is amazing!!!! I'm going to miss this class and wouldn't want to take this class with any other professor. I enjoyed all the labs and lectures. The class is very interesting but definitely requires work. However, if you put in the work the class is manageable and passable.

Professional and extremely strict. Follow the rules! Be punctual! This is a good time to evaluate your own work ethic as it would apply to the real world. May come off strong, but cares for students and tells you not to take things personal. She calls you out so you learn the wrong ways in a potentially dangerous lab setting. Quirky. Fun lab!!!

Strict when it comes to lab, but this helps build good foundation in lab skills. No study guides. Tests are based on slides (only used the book once), and are straightforward just study the material and pay attention to lecture. Attendance is an absolute must. Overall, strict but truly wants the best for you and is willing to answer any questions.

Well-organized. Gives clear instructions and clear expectations. She is willing to help in any way to make sure you learn the material. Wish she was teaching other bio classes that I have to take too!

Coming to this class, the professor was very invested and willing to help the students. She paved the way for the students in understanding what was to be expected and what to study. The lab wasn't very hard. If you put in the effort and study hard, there is a chance to get a good grade. Like everything in life, work hard and it will pay off.

Why is she rated so poorly? Professor Suzuki is one of the best professors I have had. She is kind and truly wants her students to learn and apply what she teaches. She aims for every student to retain the information. She is an actually great teacher, not just a professor that lectures. Success depends on your studying habits and listening.

this class is not for those who don't put in the effort. there are no study guides however the exams are based on the slides given in class. i highly recommend getting the textbook to get a more in depth explanation because some exam answers are based of that. she is strict in lab for safety reasons and is always accessible outside of classes GL!!

I was worried taking her class, but she's actually nice, & will help those willing to learn. Gives clear instructions on what she expects, yes she is firm in lab when it comes to everyone safety, read the manual & highlight key points that can be on quizzes. Unknown exam organize your notes, they're going to help you. It was a fun lab for me!
