she encourages questions in class. She makes sure everyone knows the material. Great professor for an intro bio course.

She really cared about us understanding BIO. Study hard and don't slack. As a student, I took advantage of all her resources and am getting A's and B's on the tests. Highly Recommend for Bio 1050 and Bio 1510 because she teaches fairly well and is not as hard hitting as Dr. Turchyn (another good professor who is perfect for upper level BIO)

She is a great professor. One thing I recommend is to read the slides, redo quizzes, and do learning objectives. They are key to success. Take it from a student, if you do bad it is your own doing, not dr. myhrs. Nobody wants lazy doctors or pharmacists. If you can't handle this class then you have no business being in the medical field

Helpful and caring. Come to class. It really helps. It helped me do well as a student.

Study hard and you will be fine. Learning objectives are very helpful

she is a excellent professor and her exams are based off the lectures so relisten to them ! I would re watch her lectures and recognize all the questions.

Great professor. Make sure to study ahead of time. Do so by studying your learning objectives, retake your quizzes, and make sure to review the slides. You will do well if you put the work in. Also, your lowest exam score is dropped. Dr. Myhr is very good and makes the class a bit interesting.

Not bad. But you gotta study in order to do well. DON'T STUDY THE DAY BEFORE!

Phenomenal professor. I have never had a class in which the professor truly cares about her students this much. She very clearly puts an incredible amount of effort, and really wants her students to learn and be prepared to pursue science. She is very caring, flexible, and helpful. I wish she taught more classes.

She makes you work hard. At first I hated the class because the amount of work. Then when I put the work in it all came easy because the clicker q's, homework, SI sessions HELP TREMENDOUSLY. First 2 tests I didn't do so well, then I started getting A's. What I did was rewatch lectures and write EVERYTHING she says down and do the study guides A

Dr. Myhr makes you work for an A. She is a great professor but is tough. There is homework, clickers, and quizzes. In order to pass this class, I recommend students go to class to get a general idea of what is going on and then re-watching lectures and writing down explicit, concrete notes. MAKE SURE YOU WRITE DOWN EVERYTHING SHE SAYS!

I really liked this class. It is a writing intensive so between lab and lecture there was a lot of reading scientific articles and writing. Dr. Myhr was a great professor. She is fair and leaves no surprises for exams. Hardly lectures-you mostly work in teams to understand material yourself and then she explains. Good class!

Not an easy A. There's homework due before every lecture, and she makes you work in groups for roughly 10 minutes a lecture. Her tests are very specific and difficult. (50-60% was the average grade). However, she strongly wants her students to succeed so she had our final exam replace all of our previous exams. Overall, very kind and helpful.

I have never had a fair professor like Dr. Myhr at Wayne State. She really looks out for you and gives you a lot of advice for success. Those hating on her are lazy and don't study at all. Take it from a freshman. I had her for two semesters Bio 1050 and Bio 1510 and have done great. Study her slides and go to office hours for help.

She's a great teacher. Its because of her that I am more motivated to continue my pre-med path

She is a great professor. Worth taking. She will make you work and study hard. If you can survive in her class, then you will survive in later bio courses.

She is very fair. Study slides, do homework, go to class, and STUDY! Do all that and you are on your way to an A

A good prof, teaches the material well but its not easy so you have to put in work. She doesn't curve or give extra credit. Quizzes and homework are helpful but can be super time consuming and are barely worth anything to your final grade.

She is no NO means an easy instructor! However, she is fair in her grading and will happily explain why you got the grade that you did. No extra credit but will curve only when the entire class messes up on a big portion of the exam, so she does care about the student's grades. You will have to work very hard to earn an A, but it is possible!!!

Dr. Myhr is doable. She is not impossible. Gradual studying should get you to an A

Professor Myhr's slides are easy to understand and she explains more in depth. Her BIO 1510 consists of around 10 questions before each lecture online (unlimited attempts), a discussion board will be up to help each other. 4 exams and of course the Final exam. 5 in total. Her exams are fair ONLY if you study A LOT (an hour a day is fine)

She is probably the best Bio professor I've had. She is very tough, but if you put in the effort you will receive an A. Go to office hours, go to class, study daily, you should be fine. I loved her.

Im honestly a lazy student, and i have to say shes SO EASY. She reviews the slides in class, her tests are based off of those slides and what she talks about. She gives study guides that are like a copy of the exams but different wording. She curves exams, she may seem a little tough but shes a sweet heart and she cares about her students ALOT.

Have to attend class for clicker points. Have to go to group discussions. Some of the stuff on exams are too specific and 30 question exams so if you get a couple questions wrong it can affect your grade. Hard to get an A. many struggled in class but its becuz they don't study. you have to be in class so she explains slides.

Karen is a great professor for this class, the entire class is based off of her lectures and she posts them all online so you can relisten to them. The book is not needed for this class at all as she literally explains EVERYTHING in her lectures so as long as you relisten to lectures you will be golden. She also gives bonuses for some exams.

She is a great professor! She literally gives so many extra credit options so you can pass her class. She is a great person and she sincerely does care about her students. Her class is A LOT of studying, but isn't every class like that? I really recommend her. All the bad comments are from people who barely study, or just expect an easy A.

Good teacher. Cares about her students getting good grades but makes sure you work for it. Just take the time to learn the material and you will do fine.

Dr. Myher is a great teacher and overall really wants you to get the material will provide additional material so everyone in the lecture understands it. Pay attention to the lecture thoroughly you will HEAR and SEE some exam questions ANSWERS, look over the lecture after class WRITE EVERY SINGLE THING DOWN. I can not stress this enough. STUDY!!

Highly recommend this professor for this course. Attendance of lecture is key for any questions you might have. The homework really seals your understanding too, like it 's not busy work. I really think this course is an easy A if you work for it. You have a lot of room to boost/maintain your grade should you miss a lecture or assignment also.

I felt that Dr. myhr was a great Bio teacher. All of the material was clear and there is so many resources that she provides you with if you aren't understanding so well, throughout the class she made many improvises to help the students get there grades up. Definitely reading the assigned chapters before lecture helps a lot and coming to lecture.

Dr Myhr is a brilliant professor, she knows what she's talking about. You will have a good grade if you pay attention and study and she provides all the resources for you to pass. Also don't waste your money on buying the book, you can do well without it.

I have taken Dr. Myhr for Bio 1050, Bio 1510, and Bio 3200. She is my favorite professor because she doesn't make you memorize. I suck at memorizing and a lot of biology classes here are straight memorization. She tests you on critical thinking and not memorize a bunch of useless facts. Re-listen to lectures and go to her office hours.

She is my favorite professor. Doesn't make you memorize. I love that she helps you critically think through problems and not regurgitate the information back. Lectures are awesome and my peer mentor was fantastic.

She is awesome. Does not make you memorize. The peer mentors are the reason why I got an A. Class is actually interesting. Best general education course I have taken. I love her teaching.

Put in the effort and you will do fine in this course. Awesome professor, she really cares about students.

Honestly one of the best professors. She is extremely nice and wants you to succeed. She is the easiest and best bio teacher at wayne state - PLAINE AND SIMPLE. If you need a bio class and she is teaching it, take it. You'll thank me later.

The lab portion consists of a lot of writing & one experiment you design with a group. A major chunk of the lecture's exams include experimental design & data interpretation, as well as short answer, fill in the blanks & multiple choice. It wasn't the hardest bio class I took but definitely not a blow off class. We read sci papers & disc. in class.

I love this professor. She doesn't make you memorize. It was critical thinking. I love critical thinking. I want to have skills useful for the job market and memorizing is not going to land me a job. She was awesome. She made biology fun. Also the peer mentors helped so much. I only did good because of them.

She was really good. Emphasis on critical thinking and not memorizing a bunch of facts. Love that she made me think. This will help me when I am in medical school diagnosing patients.

This class seriously helped me prepare for the mcat. She explained it in a way where you think about what is happening and not memorizing useless facts.

Dr. Myhr really cares about her students and supplies them with many resources to succeed. She makes you work for your grade by actually understanding the material & not just memorizing it. You will do so much better in the course because everything builds on top of each other & if you know your material well it will be easier. PEER MENTORS R GREAT

Most generous professor. Really cares about your success in the class and wants you to ask questions and understand the material. She provides a lot of resources to succeed which you should definitely take advantage of. Negative comments most likely from freshmen who do not know how to study for college classes. Wish she taught all bio courses.

yes, she okay.

She really cares, if you are struggling go to her office hours. Trust me she will help you try to understand and if she isn't much help go to your peer mentor!! I personally would choose Bryn as your peer mentor, she's smart (like really smart and breaks down the material to actually make sense) , quick to answer emails and she honestly cares!

Tests are easy if you study.

Great professor! I love how Dr. Myhr has organized her class, she provides a lot of resources to make her class easy. I think that the peer mentors are the most helpful. At first I did very poorly but I went from a F to a B just by going to the stem commons after every lecture for clarification. Take this class!

Dr. Myhr was honestly a great professor. The test aren't hard as long as you study the lecture and homework. She's very clear on what she expects of you and has clear lectures. Peer mentors were also a great help! If you can get Tyler then you won't regret it. She knows the material well.

Karen Myhr is by far the best professor that I have had. She is very nice when talking to her outside of class and she is a great teacher. Going to class is a must, but missing a few won't kill you.

she is a very nice professor who knows the material really well, however her exams seem to easy but very confusing. Attendance is important for clicker questions. she provides peer mentors to help the students. The class wasnt bad but it was so much studying and homework. Dont buy the textbook because you will never use it

Dr. Myhr is a great professor. I liked her class and her exams were exactly from her lectures so if you attend every class it is pretty easy. She spends a lot of time for each unit which is helpful. I liked her class overall.

If you pay attention you'll be fine, she cares and wants her students to do well. Kinda funny sometimes too. ALWAYS DO THE PRACTICE TESTS (like over and over again, sometimes theres the exact same questions)

Took this as my first bio class and she was a pretty good teacher. Was a bit unsure of what to expect, but looking back if you study more than 3 days before for your exams and take advantage of her study tools you will do well. She seems very passionate and wants you to do well. Mainly lecture based class, but looks to the book as a second refernce

Taking Bio 1510 is NOT by any means easy to get by, but Dr. Myhr has taught me how to really work for a good grade. She is very clear in lecture, and truly cares about her students and wants us to do well. I really like how there is homework and iclicker points, so our final grade isn't just based on test scores. 1510 is hard, but not impossible

She is an amazing teacher. She is very clear about what you are learning and more than happy to go back and explain again until you understand. I never needed to use the book, as long as you pay attention in the lecture she says everything you need to know. The only thing to watch out for is the details in the test questions, read VERY CAREFULLY.

Great professor. The class is not easy, but she does everything she can to help her students.

Professor Myhr really has her students best interest and provides all the materials needed to ace the class. Her exam questions come from the learning objectives which I highly recommend you do and the review quizzes on blackboard. The class consists of 4 exams + final. She is really straightforward with her expectations so there are no surprises.

With this class it is important that you know how to study. I used to start studying atleast a week before the exams and used the textbook and learning objectives to do so. It is a class where its important you dedicate a lot of time to. I had her for 1050 and got an A- and now for 1510 got an A because I finally understood how she taught.

I LOVE KAREN!! I took her two semesters in a row because she's such a great teacher. She's willing to answer any questions and review material until you're comfortable with it. She really wants everyone to do well and is a fair grader. homework is fairly easy and exams are hard if you study!!

Dr. Mhyr is one of the most caring professors Ive had. she lets you know what to expect and prepares you, its your job to put in the effort outside of lecture. Great professor and I've learn a lot from her.

Dr. Myhr doesn't merely teach, she weaves a story for students to hear as she walks around in the class, trying to accommodate all their attentions and make them work their best and, more than that, get excited in biology. It's a pity that I won't have her again, she's a tough grader, and expects a lot from you, but do your work and you'll be a fav

Dr. Myhr is a great professor, but not in the ways many students expect. I think her aim is help create students who don't just eat up information, but can think about it for themselves. Keep an open mind, use the RESOURCES available at the university including her office hours, and take advantage of her genuine desire to help you grow. Worth it.

Dr. Myhr truly cares about her students. She wants them to learn as much as possible from what she has to offer, which is a lot. She expects you to work, but she teaches very well

Dr. Myhr knows the criteria very well. She does a very good job explaining the material and gives multiple resources to help you succeed.

She was amazing. BIO 1510 is very hard but she makes the lectures so everyone can understand, goes very slow and repeats alot. She actually takes students feedback into consideration and teaches based on it. I learned to study better from this course. You have to attend class and be involved to get an A. She gives so many resources for exams too!

She is easily reachable and gives a lot of feedback to discussions online and emails you send her. There was a lot of homework but the exams were a lot easier if you did the work and studied the online quizzes. She has her days where she can be intolerant of talking but teaches well for a large lecture class.

Amazing professor, many people dislike her because she wants you to UNDERSTAND the material, you cant merely just memorize things. I would recommend the book and using any resources she makes available. Gives lecture prep homework so you know material before going to lecture, 4 exams that are heavily weighted but if you do hw youll be fine.

Dr. Myhr was outstanding. A lot of my peers disliked her but she was so organized. She was the most organized professor I have ever met. Tons of resources . Lecture is kind of more of an interaction type but she has so many resources available. Exams are based on her learning objectives and are not bad if you study . MUST TAKE HER!!

She was not too bad. Lectures were hard to follow at times, but she is very helpful if you go to her office hours. you can tell she really cares about biology and the class. take advantage of tutors if you need help. she gives lots of homework and quizzes but it helps a ton in the class and cushioning your grade

She is passionate about her teaching and seems to know her stuff. The exams are what are expected for the most part, some questions can be really difficult, but she is really reasonable when reconsidering points. There is a lot of homework but most of them were pretty easy. She gives enough resources for the exams, seems like she cares how you do.

This was my first Biology class ever and it was hard for me to dive into but Dr. Myhr offers a lot of resources for Biology and other campus resources. She is a great professor for your first semester. She gives great feedback, encourages collaboration and participation, and is fair with her grading. She does give a lot of homework but it helps.

She puts up the lecture slides before lecture and I highly recommend to write them down before lecture and add notes while listening to her lectures. The tests are difficult at first because you have to get used to the way she words test questions. But If you study hard before the tests you should be okay. The quizzes are a HUGE help when studying.

Dr. Myhr is passionate about what she teaches and does her best to make sure her students succeed. Rather than just reading off the slides she explains certain concepts in depth and keeps the class engaged with clicker questions. For anyone planning to take this course just do your best on the hw and quizzes to pass her exams. So STUDY STUDY STUDY

Dr. Myhr is one of Wayne States greatest professors. She truly knows all there is to know about biology and is excited to teach her students. She sets up her class in a way that is easy for students to learn and pass,

Dr. Myhr is an awesome professor. She truly knows what she is talking about and will take the time to assess the class knowledge through clicker questions. Her exams are mostly based on her lectures and she gives a lot of opportunities to excel in the class. However, you cannot fall behind in the class! Always attend the lecture.

She makes the tests extremely difficult with her wording. The only thing that saved me were going to the team meetings with out peer mentor. It's possible to pass without the book, but it'll make the daily homework go by much faster. Do the quizzes even though they are worth one point; it helps you on the test.

I found her class to be quite a breeze. Her lectures helped, but I didn't rely on them too much when studying. I mostly took advantage of her online homework and unit quizzes that she has everyone do before each lecture. The questions in these quizzes are from her old exams and can show up in her most recent ones, so know how to answer them.

amazing lecturer, does not just read off the slides. She actually explains and teaches, you actually learn in her class

Dr. Myhr's grading criteria is very clear and her exams aren't that hard if you study. You have to study. That's just the nature of the subject and she tells you that. Reading the book really helps. Her Canvas quizzes are a very good indicator as to what the exam questions are going to be like and there's a lot of support available outside class.

Myhr is such a good professor, especially if you are not the best test taker. there are a lot of points for clicker points, discussion, and online homeworks and quizzes. I found her exams easy because most of the questions came from the online quizzes. Definitely a good choice if u actually want to learn.

Yes, lots of homework, but it forces u to study. and if you don't do it, really doesn't affect ur grade. she's really not that bad, very available and uses canvas well. lots of people expect 1050 level of difficulty and 1510 is just a tough course. study appropriately and you'll do fine. Avoid social loafing in groupchats; go to lecture, do the HW

dont blame the prof because the class is hard. 4 exams plus a final, drops the lowest, no curves. lab is worth 20% of ur grade. pretty standard for a college science course. she'll curve specific questions if you can make the case the question is bad. you'll be happy you took her bc she makes u learn and you need this stuff for premed + med school

Exams are straightforward from lecture, Echo is your best friend with her. Print out the learning objectives and go through them as you rewatch lecture, best strategy for her. If its not on the learning objective, it wont be on the exam. Try not to focus on the quizzes, she'll reword them on the exam to trip up people who are just memorizing

She is a solid professor, her notes get straight to the point. But one thing I can proudly say is her exams are very fair. I can recall things that she put in her powerpoint on the exam. Yes this class does take work, but it was really interesting and her powerpoints went straight to the point. The final had old recycled exam questions. TAKE HER!!!

some of yall need to adjust your expectations of a college professor lol. tells you exactly whats on exam, communicates clearly thru canvas, and fairly to follow. 4 exams + final, drop the lowest, lab and homework/clicker questions. u do have to attend lecture which is annoying if u like to use echo. no profs is gonna give u exact notes for an exam

I wish people who didn't show up to class weren't allowed to review. Her exams are STRAIGHT from the lecture. The kids who say otherwise 1) didn't attend lecture, or 2) were one of the people who payed such little attention in class they need a group chat to alert them when she was asking a clicker question. Yeah; those people are reviewing.

She is a great professor that really helps you learn the material. She writes all her own exams so TBs are useless. Her exams are very fair and all based on her lectures and powerpoint slides. You have to study a lot for a good grade, 3 exams, one drop, and final... Her homework adds up to like 2 or 3 % so so good on the exams.

I had Dr. Myhr for 1050 and 1510. I feel she is a solid professor. Before her, I had never had a Biology class before and it took a lot of work to keep up but if you put in the work to understand the concepts you'll be fine.

Multiple attempts on Quizzes and homework. Available at stem commons encourages drop in hours very few extra credit. Tests are very heavy need to use the book. Attendance is required but lenient.

I think Dr. Myhr is an amazing professor. She gives a lot of resources to help you study, as long as you actually take HW and quizzes seriously. They count for alot of points too. The class has a TON of content but not very hard to keep up with. She is also so organized. Test questions can be confusing but she will take questions off that are bad.

Dr. Myhr truly cares about your understanding of the concepts she teaches. There is a prep, homework, and occasional quiz due before each lecture. However, they are beneficial for the exams! I did not read the book, and instead rewatched the lectures and took notes. I've definitely learned a lot!

Dr. Myhr is a really great professor for BIO 1050! Take notes on the lectures which are posted on ECHO, prepare for each unit exam thoroughly and you should be able to pass. Keyword: PREPARE! I wish she was teaching 1510 semester, the way her class is set up in 1050 really helps you in learning. Especially the unlimited attempts at HW and Quizzes!

Dr. Myhr really sets up every single one of her students for success. She gives you many resources as well as a detailed study guide before each class period of pages that would be helpful to read before class. She truly wants to see her students succeed and is a great professor. I wish she was teaching 1510!

Dr. Myhr is truly a great professor. She knows the material she's teaching, and she truly wants you to understand the material in order for you to excel in bio. Believe me when I say this, do the quiz questions and explain why each answer is wrong/right, and you will do great on the exams. I'd definitely take her again.

She is really passionate about Bio 1050 and tries to teach the material in different ways. Her exams are difficult but if you read the textbook and pay . attention in class the exams come easier.

I've had her for 4200 and 4120. She is a very good teacher, and I've done better than I usually do in her classes. Pay attention and focus on the lecture material. Also focus on homework. Important note: she has this style where the second test is harder than the other ones for most students. Make sure to try and do your best for all exams esp 2nd

Dr. Myhr is the best! She sets the homework and quiz deadlines for before class starts so that you already have a good foundation for the lecture. You've gotta work for your grades - this is NOT a blow off class. Do the quizzes, HW, read the book where she tells you too, and study and you'll do well in the class. Go to office hours! Ask questions!

Lots of hw. Don't expect 3200 to be easy. Lots of material on each of the exams. Some of the questions will resemble hw questions but be changed. This doesn't count as a trick, think and read carefully, and check your answers. Class can be a little annoying w/ activities but to each their own. Fair about giving exam points back.

Dr. Myhr is a GREAT professor! She expects a lot from her students but gives you many opportunities to succeed. This is NOT a memorization class. As an upper level BIO class you are expected to apply what you know on exams. Read the book, take notes about the figures, participate in class, and STUDY! Her rating should be a lot higher than it is!!

She's great, there is a lot of homework but the homework questions are used as the exam questions. If you are in her class make sure to watch the amount of assignments that go into credit because there are several extra to allow for some wiggle room. She also had regular office hours and spent time in the STEM commons to help students out.

If you sign up for this class, be prepared for the work. During zoom, there are breakout rooms with graded activities. She also gives projects every week & weekly quizzes. We also had a midterm, unit quizzes, & a final exam. She is not a tough grader & she will answer any questions you have. No camera required & no lockdown browser. All open notes.

Dr. Myhr is a great professor. She explains biology very well, but nothing else. The organization of the course was terrible. She expects you to exceed expectations to get an A in the class. I like that quizzes and tests don't matter that much but the projects she assigns are very time-consuming.

Dr. Myhr despite having a tough online class was very nice and caring. She did not believe in using the lockdown browser because it is an invasion of privacy to her. Weekly quizzes are open note, book, neighbor. Creative assignments were confusing at first but were easy to get the hang of. 10/10.

The people who complained here were likely the same people who always said they never watched her lectures and questioned why the quizzes/assignments were difficult. As long as you watch her lectures and actually apply yourself (which is expected in any 3000+ course) you'll be fine. Everyone wants an A but most aren't willing to do the actual work.

The teacher is super nice and her tests are really easy. They are all open book and the quizzes she gives before the exams really help. If you do the quizzes, watch her lectures and do the study guides you will really learn a lot. Awesome teacher and she really opens up to you if you go to office hours. Easy A.

Class is mandatory but there are ample drops for quizzes and participation. It would be hard to fail this class if you are trying to understand the material. Dr. Myhr is so sweet and caring and loves to answer questions. Contact her through discussion posts instead of email. You need to read or watch mini lectures to pass. Do not skip class.

She was a great professor, she distributed the grades very well. Assignments were weighted more than exams. The assignments take a while to do, but they help you prepare for the exams. Overall this was a great class! She also offers a lot of drops for quizzes and assignments. The class seems overwhelming at first, but it is very well structured.

This class is a pretty easy A. It's a lot of busy work but you get a second chance to resubmit any assignment and earn credit. Exams are ok but fair, you can still earn credit for an exam if you complete the exam reflection which is pretty easy but time consuming. In the beginning of the semester the class seems pretty unorganized but it's not bad.

Great professor, she does give a lot of work but she gives you so many redos where if you actually do your work you will get an A.

Dr. Myhr is a good professor. Her lectures are easy to understand. An A is not so difficult to achieve if you really spend time working with the assignments. Quizzes are unlimited attempts, and exams aren't hard also. She allows you to choose contract that fits the grade you want. I will definitely take her back for BIO1500.

She is extra accommodating to her students during the pandemic. Even though this class is mad difficult, she made it bearable by keeping the exams open note. You do have to think during exams, but at least you have resources.

I currently have her and the class structure is hard to understand at first but once you get the hang of it, it is easy to figure out. She goes out of her way to make sure students learn and also perform well in her class.

I currently have her. She's amazing, kind and caring. Her lectures are understandable so don't miss any of them! She allows you to choose contracts for grade, so think carefully before picking, and don't cherry-pick! If you pay attention and work hard, it will be an easy A! I will take her again since I'm majoring Biological Sciences.

She's a very good professor. Just watch her lectures, show up in her class, and do her works you will get a good grade. However, I don't like her grader.

I love Karen! She's the best.

Big group project, big term paper, and a ton of busy work in between. Homework, "textbook" assignments(just more homework), Perusal. Each little piece of the project and paper are written one at a time and it takes forever. A lot of reading and discussing scientific literature, writing scientifically and analyzing data. Didn't learn much at all.

The workload depends on the "grade contract" you chose, so it could be either light or heavy. Dr. Myhr is also a kind and helpful person. She makes very well-thorough lectures on Echo360, and allows many opportunities for students to earn credit for quizzes and exams. I really recommend her! Just do the works, and you can get the grade you want!

She doesnt trick students on exams. She is straightforward and breaks down concepts well for students to understand. I liked her teaching

Dr. Myhr never gives you an exam with questions or lessons you haven't learnt before, which is super easy. Her lectures are helpful, too.

One of the kindest Professors. She was so understanding and accommodating to her students during the pandemic. She made our exams open note and gave us many opportunities for extra credit.

I enjoyed Myhr's class! It was different than what I'm used to because she assigned contracts. Essentially, we chose our grade and then had to work for it. She also gives good feedback and second chances. Her class is super organized.

it was hard class with a lot of memorize and learning materials. she gives a lot of homework, assignment and quizzes which help you to understand the class. The best part is that her exam is from the lecture. If you study hard you can do best in the class.

If you want an A, take her! Shes knowledgeable + cares about her students, wants you to suceed! Exams are open-notes + quizzes are key! Many resources to learn from! Yes, there is a lot of assignments, don't get me wrong and does take up time, but she offers second attempts on them! There are lots of drops too. Hard to fail! Myhr > Turchyn all day!

I do not understand why so many people are complaining even though they got A. Be appreciative people! At least, she was lenient enough for you to ace the class

Myhr is a good professor. She is kind and helpful. But I dislike Allison because of how she grades the work.

There are some classes that consume a lot of your time and then you end up with a bad grade. For this class, it's not the case. If you do amazing on assignments that are very easyyyyyyyy to do and get done and average 80 on your exams you will earn an A. This class can not be easier and better. SHE MAKES LEARNING BIOLOGY VERY FUN AND EASYYYYYYYY

I loved Dr. Myhr If you do the hw and follow the directions you're guaranteed an A. She cares more about education than scores which is why her class is an easy A & why she's a great prof b/c you actually end up learning so much. She uploads minilectures that are beneficial & her exams were open note open book & questions came from material in ML.

Myhr >Turchyn! Take Myhr for 1510 for a smooth transition from high school biology to college biology.

She is so kind to each and every one of her student! Really wants to see us all prosper in class! Loved her!

Exams are only 10% of overall grade which is rare for upper level science class, but there are interactive assignments.

While the class did have a large work load, that is to be expected of any class. Dr. Myhr was extremely understanding of situations with the online class and technology issues. She also provided grace periods and many opportunities to retake if you truly tried. As long as you do the work, you can get an A.

Wish I had her for more classes! Great instructor! Unfortunately she is not teaching any upper level bio class next semester :(

Ton of homework. This class was interesting and easy due to the exam retakes/bonuses but there was so much homework that it was hard to learn the actual content. Dr. Myhr also does not write LORs or curve/offer extra credit so be wary of that. If you are looking for a course that is not stressful to obtain an A, then her courses are the one.

If you work as a peer mentor for her class, then she will definitely write a LOR for your your med school requirement! Great instructor who wants students to learn and have fun without dreading college.

Class was heavy with assignments but each was worth little points so your grade doesnt drop from one or two bad scores. it's a writing-intensive course so be ready to write a lot (article summaries and lab reports) and read a lot of articles. She is lenient about due dates and a fairly easy grader. gives good feedback, did not learn much in lecture

All these reviews are probably from those who haven't touched a book or studied in a day in their lives. Honestly, her exams are fairly simple, also most professors put that there is more than one answer that is correct on their exams. In any science class, you take no matter what you have to study.

Organize creations into headers and add details to PPTs for creations (~ 4 hours). WRITE DOWN EVERY WORD said in mini lectures using script function (~ 6 hours). Treat SATA questions as true/false questions. She expects you to read textbook but if you use mini-lecture script, you don't have to. Got ~100 on every creation/exam! 10 hrs/week though.

Great professor, if you actual came to college to learn there is nothing to fear. She will give you all the tools you need, but its up to you to put in the work and participate.

She doesn't teach using traditional lecture format, in her classes, both BIO5890 & BIO4120, they were both discussion-based where participation with peers and showing up to class is sometimes considered, depending on the class. She uses perusall, which is a software that you interact on to read articles, and in class, that is what we discuss.

Only bad thing I can say

I really don't agree with a lot of these ratings. There's some busy BS work but overall if you apply yourself, study/review, and take good notes, this class is a breeze. You can retake quizzes unlimited times to review if you need to and you can also retake exams a few times. TBH if you don't do good in this class it's on you not the professor.

Dr. Myhr seems to have an attitude at times but she is HIGHLY organized and is so engaging in the lectures, I learned so much. Her exams were spot on to the learning objectives she gave us. My lowest exam score was an 85. We were required to go to a group with an LA once a week which also helped so much. There were easy ways to get points.

Dr. Myhr has a clear understanding and enthusiasm about biology which is infectious. Her exams were hard but not unreasonable. Mostly multiple choice and some select all multiple choice questions, too.

She has an initially unintuitive method of teaching, but once you get a grip of her teaching style you'll come to appreciate it. I genuinely believe I improved as a student after taking BIO4120. That being said, this class is a LOT of work: papers, lab projects, readings, etc. It's worth it if you have the patience and tenacity.
