she gives you the notes and you just have to copy and study. easy to pass, just pay attention

She is a very fair teacher. She provides all information needed for exams and is very clear on this. She is extremely smart in the area of Microbiology, you just have to keep up with her pace! She provides e.c. during the course and is very helpful if questions arise. Recommended for Lab & Lec.

I really liked her. She talks really fast, but gives good examples, relates the material to everyday life. Only the first three test were 100 questions- she took the questions from a word bank on those test, so some wording was weird. But I though it was easy. just read the chapter an pay attention

I had her for Lab and she is a very challanging teacher but knows her Biology. She was a good teacher but you have to study a lot!!!

She is definately a challenging teacher! But she knows biology very well and if you dont understand something she will go into detail until you understand the material. She will work with your schedule if something comes up as long as you call her and let her know. You have to study in detail b/c those are on the test. Study like its your job!

This class was a little hard but not impossible. She gives little extra credit but if you study hard you will do well. I recommend her for both lab and lecture.

If you study and come to class you will do fine.

Started off REALLY hard. She was the hardest teacher I have ever had. This was my last class to take before nursing school and boy did she prepare me. She is tough but Micro is a tough subject. She doesn't baby her students she expects them to work and study. You will learn alot from her if you go in ready to dedicate some time and effort into her

I didn't find her that hard a teacher, but I love biology. Her tests are multiple choice, which I didn't find difficult. I did not use her handouts to study, I studied the book. If you want to go on to higher bio/science, then I think she is a good teacher. I wish I had her for lab class because my lab teacher doesn't prepare us for the mid/fin

hard subject content, but buhrer is clear and helpful

I had no trouble getting an A in her class. However, I did take Bio 1 and read the text. I would not recommend for Lab, so much. Overall, she is a very good teacher and will help if asked.

Lecture: She is a wonderfully nice lady. She will try to help you understand a concept or idea, and takes questions in class, and does her best to answer them. Drops lowest test grade, I suggest you try your best and save that for the last test, because if she falls behind, the last test can be over many chapters. Tests are mult choice.

shes a really good teacher. she goes over pretty much everything you need on the tests as long as youre in class. attendence isnt manditory but its easy to fall behind if youre absent alot. i had her for lab too and she makes sure you understand the material. make sure you read the next weeks lab before class so youre prepared.

Wonderful teacher and her passion for the subject is obvious. The keep to passing her class is to ask questions. She will and does take time to explain in detail what's going on. I'll Be taking her for BIO 102

I couldn't have asked for a better teacher. She is one of the best so far. Attendance is the key to this class! As long as you are present for your classes you will know EXACTLY what is on the test. And she makes the subject very interesting and understandable I will be taking her for 102 also.

This teacher is passionate about her subject and does everything in her power to help you understand. I wish all of my professors were as excited about their subject as she is. I look forward to taking her for 102.

Very good teacher. She knows her stuff. Had her for lecture and lab and definitely recommend taking her class. She's very strict but that's what keeps you on straight. Would take her again.

Wonderful professor! Makes it simply clear! Provides a sort of outline for notes. Tests are from her outlines and PPT's. Read ahead, helps tremendously to know what is going to be discussed and to prepare questions you might have. Be ON TIME! Would recommend her to anyone and would most definetly take a class with her again!

LAB. Took both her lecture and lab. Recommend that u take her class. She is extremely clear and will explain things 4 the lowest level of knowledge. Those who didn't take her lecture and had her lab didn't have quite the strength to pull off an A. U really have to study for her quizzes. Mid-term/Finals are fairly easy if u attend all classes.

Took her class back in 2006. Excellent teacher! The class does start right on time though! Wish I had her for my lab. She will help you if you ask for it.

Great instructor, just come to class (you get points). I would recommend that you use a recorder in her class, she can give a lot of information.

Very smart teacher. Definitely the kind of teacher you would want IF you're a Biology major or if you're really interested in Biology. She goes into a lot of details about everything. 4 tests, no homework, but try to review the material constantly. i have no interest in Biology and I got a C. Overall, she's a great teacher

She is an awesome professor. I learned a ton in her class because it was a challenge. As long as you study for the quizzes in lab, lecture tests, and lab practicals, you will be totally fine! She likes to know that you are working hard and preparing for class each day. Overall, I really learned a alot and thought she was a very thorough professor.

I really enjoyed having her. She was interactive and fun to listen to. She was extremely patient with the slower students and helpful when we needed explaining. I really enjoyed having her. P.S. I had her early morning class.

I had her for Bio 101 and 102. She is VERY knowlegable in biology related to molecular and medical biology. When it comes to ecology, zoology, botony, or evolution she is really only as knowledable as the book maybe a little more. Heavy emphesis on Medical Biology, constantly relating the material to disease. Boo

I liked Mrs.Buhrer.Shes a good teacher.She gives students her powerpoint notes and tells you what to study for on up coming tests.Attendence is Mandatory.She uses it as a test grade.Attending class is an easy A.THIS COURSE IS HARD. Any teacher you have great or bad doesnt change whats expected of you.Try to take it on a light schdule. STUDY!!!

Had her for both lecture and lab. She is very knowledgeable on the subject and is always willing to answer questions. She would even do lab practical reviews in her lectures! She does expect you to study the readings thoroughly! Also she gives lots of extra credit on tests. If you take the class seriously, you can easily pass with an 'A'. Note- 102 lab is VERY hard, so try to take 102 on a light schedule.

Took Ms. Buhrer's BIO 150 lecture/lab. Very knowledgeable. Gives extra credit - but you do have to work for it. This course is difficult, take it with a light load. She can come across very harsh, but she really is a caring instructor. She works hard for those students who work hard too. First half of lab easy, 2nd half very hard. Recommend highly

This class is pretty demanding, plenty of reading and studying. I had her for lab and lecture. There was a quiz every single class for lab. I enjoyed her class, a little strict, you MUST attend class and NOT be late, but her class is do-able.

She assumes everyone in the course is able to get into her lab section and includes elements of her lab section on tests. Not fair if you have a different lab instructor and no warning 2 She wastes time taking students questions instead of teaching. There is a reason she has office hours. I don't come to class to hear about her disdain of sponges.

She is knowledgeable and sweet yet very tough. She likes small details in the chapters for her tests, but you must also know the big picture so reading is mandatory. Attendance to every class is highly recommended because she covers a lot of material and missing one could negatively affect your grade. Overall pretty good teacher.

I am currently in her lab class. Make sure you don't miss any labs or you will miss A LOT of material! There's a quiz every lab class. You'll have a 3-4 page paper to write towards the end of the semester. If you really study, this class is do-able. Not sure about her as a lecture teacher.

Seriously, I had her for bio 101 and I loved her so much that I took a 7AM CLASS just to get her as a professor. She knows her stuff and really shows passion for the subject. When you're studying for tests you think it's going to be hard but her tests are easy!!! (if you know the information) TAKE HER, trust me. One of my fav. professors

I liked that she enjoyed her job. She was always straight to the point in class. If you had a question she will help you. The only issue that I had was that her email address was not up to date.

had her for micro lecture and lab. she's a passionate professor and really knows her stuff. her tests are fairly easy. it is up to YOU to learn and study the material. she's actually quite funny at times. ATTENDANCE IS A GRADE, so try to show up to all classes! it helps a lot! all in all, i recommend her. :)

Had her for lecture BIO-101 and Lab Bio-102. In lecture be prepared to take notes prior to the topics discussed. Very informative and knowledgable. If you are a Bio major or really like Biology, this will be an insightful class, if you need just the credit to walk, maybe you should find somebody else.

Great Professor. She is very knowledgeable, but expects students to act like college students, and be prepared. Really, just a no nonsense professor. I liked her. I am taking her for 102. At least I know what I am in for, for the most part!

She is very knowledgable! She's very thorough on covering the material. Tests are multiple choice BUT you have to know the material. Def a lot of studying.

if you actually try to learn you will do good in this class. you have to work for what grade you want. if you expect to get a good mark for no work then first off your part of whats wrong with america and second choose a different education path. test question are not directly out of book, you actually have to know material. lover her as a teacher

This is a fantastic teacher to take for a basic college course. Slacking off by not studying and not coming to class will get you a poor grade. But if you read your text, take good notes and review material, you will excel. I'm no genius but have a 96 average because I put in the time. She's very knowledgable and enthusiastic, but demands effort.

I am an A student. I took her in the summer for lecture. She does not provide copies of PowerPoint, but I highlighted information from her PowerPoint in my book. The PowerPoint comes directly from textbook and what is in red is important. She provided test reviews, charts with important info. We had 5 testsone opportunity for 5points extra credit.

Good teacher very helpful easy tests if you study the content

Professor Buhrer very knowledgeable in her field and has a passion for teaching. I had her for lecture and she is a fair grader. She has no problem answering questions and always prepares the class before the tests. I definitely recommend her!

Awesome teacher! Very knowledgeable, clear, and fair. Does a lot of group assignments and has straightforward tests.

Buhrer is not that hard of a teacher, as I have stated in many of my other reviews if you want to be coddled, you should have went to a trade school like ECPI. This is college, most of you are supposed to be adults, act like it. Study and you will pass.

I read the other reviews and I simply don't understand they are about. I had an A in her lecture without killing myself.... yeah I did put in some studying and I am no genius... so if you would like a good grade, put in some effort! She knows the subject well, she put in some online quizzes and extended them. I would take her again.

Professor Buhrer is a smart woman. She is also available during office hours and email all the time! She gives quizzes that help loads with the test, and she is a very fair grader. Put in the work, and you will see that A.

Professor Buhrer is a passionate biology teacher, knows what she is talking about. She expects you to be an excellent student. If you are willing to put in the work you will be rewarded with an A and a through knowledge of biology 101 and 102. I had been out of school for over 30 years myself and earned an A in both classes. Ask questions!!

Professor Buhrer set the online class up for you to get a good grade. As with any online class so you are expected to read and learn a lot of things on your own. She also has very informative power points that were very useful to me. The quizzes are easy as long as you go through the material and you get 2 chances to take them. Test aren't too bad.

She is a great online teacher and as long as you read the chapters/power points you will do great in her class!

She may seem tough when you start off the course, but it gets easier. Biology is a tough subject so people may find it hard in general. She is a good professor to take if Professor Wrenn is full. She is clear cut just gives you the basics will explain, but not as thorough. Gives you a pre-quiz and post-quiz every week. Need to have the lab book.

she is an overall good teacher. very simple. do what you're suppose to do and you will pass. her tests were all pretty easy and multiple choice. I had her for hybrid so half online half in the class room. my only complaint was that when we took tests online we would usually only have around 30-45 minutes to complete the test, not really enough time

I made the mistake of missing ONE lab class, and I was SOO behind. Even though my boyfriend took pictures, videos, extra notes, AND I studied. *MAKE SURE YOU DON'T SKIP* (And if you do, make up another class) She's tough. Study the power points for the quizzes, all of them, as well as READ. THE. BOOK. that's how you pass. she's cool though.

Read the chapters that are assigned, and read over the docs that she posts with the units. the quizzes are pretty close to the test questions. But all the material is covered. The Final has to be taken on campus.

Not the warmest person, and sometimes she can be intimidating. But if she can tell that you are working hard, you are serious, and you come to class everyday, she will do her best to help you succeed. Quizzes are on powerpoint, which means that she reads out the questions one at a time and write down the answer on a blank paper. hated that

Teaches at a higher level of 150. You will need to take biology and/or other science class. VERY enthusiastic about the subject. She grades spelling of species and genes.

Professor Buhrer has an intimate knowledge of Microbiology. You need previous BIO coursework before taking her. Take her online for lecture, make sure you print out all of her outcomes and charts to study for the tests. For lab, make sure you take pictures of all of the slides, and study them for her quizzes. She is really sweet, and accessible.

I loved taking her online lecture. She uploads study guides and charts of everything you need to know to be successful for the quizzes and tests. It was basically all on the tests, and I never got anything below a 90 on tests. Quizzes are 2 attempts. She is very strict on due dates, don't be late. She doesn't play around.

This class is not recommended if you have never taken a bio class before. I work full time and found it hard to study like I should. Prof. Buhrer is a difficult professor but very helpful and wants you to learn all material. I have her for lab and you cannot miss a class or you fall behind. Very fun otherwise!

I took her lecture online, and highly recommend it. She is organized, communicates effectively, and gives clear instructions. She does give you "learning outlines" (study guides for each chapter), know everything she lists, read your book, and WATCH FOR DUE DATES because she is strict with them. She sets you up to succeed as long as you work hard.

Her online class is definitely the way to go. Its as simple as read the outline she gives, read the parts in the book covered by the outline, do the quizzes, take the test. After the first few tests you realize you only need to take the quizzes then the test. Quiz questions make up the majority of the test. Super easy and much better than in person

The class consists of online quizzes and tests. She provides powerpoints with information from chapters. You could get by without a book. Most of the tests are quiz questions. If you take the time to study the material she gives you, it's an easy A. And the material is super interesting!

Her class is easy but only if you do the work and study for it. Her quizzes are on the board while she flips through the questions but if you studied, time should not be a problem. She explains every lab at once for like 45mins so you forget what she explained. STUDY THE VOCAB IN YOUR TEXTBOOK and you should have at least a solid B in her class.

I took BIO150 on campus with a different professor & had to withdraw, its a very tough subject but Mrs. B's online lecture is a piece of cake as long as you study. Do the quizzes, then go take the test. The test questions are basically all your quiz questions from that unit. Tests must be taken on campus. Quizzes allow 2 attempts.

Professor Buhrer was ok. She was not very pleasant sometimes.... I understood that she wasnt cutting any of us slack ,but she could have been a little more caring and realistic . Test arent that hard if you study the quizzes . Other than that if you have to take her ,take her. just study , pay attention , and turn everything in on time !

Took her Bio 101 class online and it was fairly easy. I had taken Bio before, but it was so long ago that I needed to take it again. Do her practice tests and review her power points. She also has study guides for the tests that are a must. She gives you the tools to get an "A" her class.

Prof Buhrer was a great bio101 professor (especially for a 9am, 3hr long class). She was always very happy and kind and easy to joke with. The lectures start out with her going through all of the instructions (sort of boring) then actually completing the tasks (pretty fun). Study for the quizzes and do the online ones too then it'll be an easy A

She didn't ramble during her teaching, she was clear and concise with instructions. If you were unsure of what the next step was she easily walked you through it again and didn't belittle you. If you miss any labs you are taking a heavy toll on your grade. Pay attention, participate, show up and you're golden.

Teaches and explains things well. Sometimes you don't know what to expect on her quizzes Rely heavy on the workbook for the quizzes and use the slides she uses in class I didn't enjoy her class I found the labs boring. She is tough on her policy and follows the school code to the t. There are two study guides in your book use them for the praticals

There were few times I wasn't feeling it. However, grading criteria/expectations were clear, and necessary material for the success was provided. I smile reading complaints about spelling. This is an advanced class; I didn't expect a teacher to baby me. Professor Buhrer knows her subject, she will make sure you will do too. Work hard and get your A

Professor Buhrer runs a straightforward class. Lectures can be dry, but the material is interesting if you put in the effort. Use online resources like Unstuck study along with the textbook to prep for exams. Stay on top of assignments, and you'll likely earn a good grade.

If you study the power points that she gives you every week the answers to the quizzes and test are on there. She even highlights the information that is going to be on the quizzes and the important information you need to remember for the course

She is great! It is microbiology, which means you have to read and study. She will answer your questions and her personality is awesome! I will recommend her.
