Easy professor in Biology, guys. Tests are not hard at all, they are based on lecture notes. Easy A :) However, I don't know why she didn't make mastering homework on the end of the semester. She made a due dates and changed them further, and she repeated until the end of semester. Funny huh!!!

Kathy Carver. Really sweet, kind and funny teacher. She's only mean if you're disrespectful to her in class (ie talking, cheating, etc.). She's REALLY helpful and does her best to go out of her way to meet up with you (since her office is not on campus). Tons of extra credit so if you're struggling in this class, I highly suggest you take it.

At first Dr. Carver may seem intimidating and "rude" However, she is actually kind and enthusiastic about what she is teaching. The only thing that I don't like about the class is that there is WAYYY too much to learn in little time. Her lectures are about 80 slides each which adds up to a lot to study. She does not curve the tests either

her tests have nothing to do with what she tells you to study for, she rushes through her lectures and skips around on chapters so notes are all mixed up and doesn't go over what's on the test, she has pre exams for extra credit towards your test grade and extra credit points aren't even added to tests even though she says shes going to.
