Excellent, clear, helpful and soooo hot!
Excellent lab instructor. Best the university has!!! Really wants you to understand and do well.
one of the very few good professors.
Intimidating and confusing at first, but as long as you study EXACTLY what she tells you, you'll get an A! I didn't read the book - I just studied what she told us and got an A!
great teacher, she makes a hard subject easy to learn and understand. Wonderful woman
A great professor. Would take her again. Makes the class very fun and interesting. An easy A class if you study what she tells you.
very cool professor, just follow the lectures and study exactly what she says and you will earn an A, she is understandable, and makes the subject unboring. I only wish there were more professors like her.
Hot? True! E-z class? True. But what is the point of paying to go to school to have material literally spoon-fed and then have her give you the answers to the tests? Her teaching method is the epitome of everything that is wrong with the educational system in this country. Pedantic and a waste of time!
she is easy and outgoing. she explains things very well. her test are not hard!
The material makes you want to pull your eyes out! It's like nails on a chalkboard. But if you like pap and prefer to to be in a vegetative state throughoutyour college career; then this is the professor for you. She makes sure she's pandering to the lowest common denominator!
Very Helpful
This class is so amazingly easy. It's like she knows that most of the ppl in there really are just taking the class to get a GE done and she makes it easy. She is also fun and outgoing. You can do without the book.
you dont really need to buy the book

Good teacher just don't piss her off or she won't hesitate to tell you off. Easy enough if you do your work.
Tough classes, but she really wants you to learn your stuff. She makes learning the gross, boring stuff fun!
If you can't get an A in this class than you should drop out.
she's very outgoing and funny she makes the class super easy and she tells you EXACTLY what is going to be on the test!
Great teacher. Makes the labs enjoyable.

Nicest teacher ever!!! Easy tests, she went over every thing in tests on the review day, so be there! and finish all assignments on time! Hope you give birth to a pretty baby girl!
Esay to get an A
Supper easy!!! Tells you exactly what will be on the test on the review day!!! Easy A if you do the homework and show up for the review!!!
Easy teacher. She tells you excatly what is on the test. Just study her notes and you will get an test. test is also based on the notes you don't even need to read the book.
She is super cool and easy. She is pretty hot for a prof i guess.
best lab instructor! makes class fun. difficult material but she helps you understand.
Gosh, I can't believe this woman! She will drive you up a wall, especially the way she talks to you! She only makes the class 'easy' because she knows she can't teach worth a rat's behind! Oh, I'm getting an A, who isn't? Somehow, I can't think it was worth it! Her class leaves a bad after flavor in my mouth when FINALLY leaving the room!
all power point and you can buy the who class dicussion at the copy plus by the UBE. Easy class if you just go it and study for like 40mins
She is very organized and clear on what is expected. Very easy to get an A. Do the two homeworks and go to the test reviews.
she is the best profesor i have ever had! a&p is a really hard subject but she lays it out in a very clear understanding way. she will help you with anything! she is really down to earth and tells you the truth! she is the best professor by far! i highly recommend her,though her labs are hard to get into because everybody wants her class.
Devlin is awesome! She knows how to teach! I really like the way she teaches, because she makes students understand the material, especially materials that are complicated to teach. Great instructor!
omg cant tell you what a wonderful lab instroctor she is!she is absolutly the best!she makes everything very easy to understand and she makes you learn the stuff!she will do these wierd things but when your taking the practical you will remeber everything she did!she is great,too bad she didnt teach the lecture also!good luck getting in to her lab
I concur with the previous student. You are an idiot if you do not take her. She is extremely helpful, smart and very funny. I'll take her, literally. PS: What a lucky husband!!!!
She is without a doubt, THE BEST teacher I have ever had in any subject. A&P is a killer and she helps you learn way better than any of the other lab instructors, and I have been to them all. You definately MUST get Devlin
Awesome, funny, and very easy.
Man, you'd have to be a COMPLETE IDIOT not to like Kathleen Devlin! She's one of the most awesome teachers in the entire school. She's sweet, she's funny, and she's an excellent teacher. Kathleen is one of the few teachers who actually cares about her students. I would take another class with her just because she's so much fun to be around!
She was an awesome professor. I do recommend her to everyone.
this class is the easiest class ive ever taken. shes a really easy teacher and breaks the course down to its simplest form. shes a good teacher, i like her. she gives a study guide. know it and u'll pass her class.
OMG, I enjoyed this class. She is the funniest professor ever, and it's not easy to humor me. The material is easy. If you don't pass, it's your fault, not hers. She comes strongly recommended.
She was very helpful and made a boring class easy and fun!
WONDERFUL PROFESSOR! AT FIRST IT WAS A LITTLE CONFUSING BUT THEN I UNDERSTOOD EVERYTHING CRYSTAL CLEAR. I RECIEVED AN A IN HER CLASS.. STUDY AND YOU WILL DO FINE. SHE IS ALSO VERY HELPFUL
You Dont Need the Book So dont Buy IT!!!EASY CLASS!just show up and stay awake.And NEVER be late for a test.
Bioinformatics is an easy A. Im not wiz and I did well in her class she gives you all the info you need to know for the 2 test you have in this class and you don't belong in college if you get less then a B- in this class. You only need the book for the 2 easy papers she assigns
Great Teacher!! Jsut print out slides for the class and she gives you the answers for the test. She made the class fun.
She makes this class a complete joke. You will learn the effects of budhist blessing water, that your soul has a weight, that you can make a computer perform with thought. The class is easy and a waste of time. Don't buy the textbook. It is just the slideshow on her website.
She is greatshe is funny,the course material is very understandable.But the exams are 40% of your grade and the in class projects are only 20%. PRof Devlin if u read this.Please raised the in class project more becuz 20% doesn't help when exams are 40%.It should be 30% exams 40% in class project.This is 2 unit course not a 4 unit course! Kdevlin.co
Absolutely the best. Hilarious, intelligent, and lovable. She knows a lot about a lot of things, and makes the most boring topics funny, which helps you to learn. She gets frustrated with students who don't try their best, so put forth all your effort! Do everything you can to get her anatomy lab!
Professor Devlin was great!! A very simple class, she has in class discussions that help to boost up your grade...don't miss those. Also don't be late for a test! Very simple material, although kind of strange material. Great professor though!!
I took this class right before she found out that she was going to be a mommy:) Haha, so anyway my learning experience at CSUSB was most memorable when I took her for lab. She had the uncanny ability to make everything seem so easy and fun. Before and after class, I remember feeling motivated to learn and study. She was one of a kind.
Wonderful teacher! Great class.
Very easy class,gives all the notes for the class.just make sure your there for the class discussions.test are pretty easy as long as you study.you may find that all the info you learn is useless.recommend taken her
Easy class and very entertaining. I loved her sense of humor! Take her class you will love it!
She is a wonderful teacher & lab instructor! She truly cares about her students learning & is in ur face making sure that u do learn all of the material. Although the class is pretty difficult and requires lots of studying & time I recommend trying to get her as your lab instructor for both Bio 223 and 224. She made that my favorite class at CSUSB!
It's easy to do bad in her class if you don't show up for group discussions. They are worth the most. You don't need to buy the BOOK! Her study guide has everything. Be respectful, ask question, and you will do fine.
This class is extremely boring and she teaches as if she is in a coffee shop having a conversation. If you are trying to gain some knowledge about the subject then take another class. But if you want to sit and listen to a teacher that thinks she is funny and likes to chit chat instead of teach then take her class.
This teacher is hilarious. Goes through the information in a very direct way, good powerpoints and good workbook. Tells you exactly what to study for for the 2 exams. I don't understand how anyone could get anything other than an "A" in this class!
She is probably the hardest lab professor and you will feel intimadated by her at first but she truly teaches incredibly well. The way she words things help you memorize it so much easier. You will succeed in her class if you study your butt off if not i wouldnt recommend her to you.
Professor Devlin is mad cool. Shes really nice and easy to talk to. The only bad thing i have to say about her is, she talks way to fast. Like shes high or something. But shes the only professor i know that basically gives out the test in a study guide. Show up, and you get an A. Point blank.
She is a good teacher, one of the few that actually teaches to the students correctly.
She was my lab teacher for BIO 100 and she was extremely helpful. She made the lab feel really easy and the way she helped us everyday on memorizing the material helped for lecture as well. I had fun doing the labs and hope she is my lab teacher again for another BIO course. I would recommend you take care. She is not hard.
Easy she doesn't riquired to buy the book, gives study guides and the aswers for the quizes and final...
Very cool teacher. She's funny and makes the class fun. Easy A if you study for the test and show up to all the classes.
Easy class, the book has every slide she goes over. Then she tells you exactly which slides to study for the test. Plus, she makes the class pretty entertaining.
pretty strait foward easy classes and teaches legitly
She is crystal clear on the material she teaches and as long as you go to the review and the in class discussions you will do fine. It is easy to get a B if you at least study the material a little the day before the midterm and final. She has a great sense of humor, not to mention she is kind of hot for a professor.
really fun, good and outgoing, makes class fun.
shes was my lab instructor for microbiology, she did a good job, it was her first but she still pulled it off. she keeps you entertained and tries to answer all of your questions. i highly recommend her for anatomy though. thats her speciality so expect alot more in that class from her.
She is absolutely crystal clear. She tells you EXACTLY what to study for on the test. She gives you the slides to study..study no more or less and you for sure will get an A. Easy easy class. You have to come to class because she does discussions that cant be made up, bur you wont be bored! Wonderful professor who is extremely helpful!
Comments refer to CSCI 122 and CSCI 129. First, I disagree with the "easy A" and "impossible not to get an A" comments. These subjects are wholly dependant on aptitude. (IE your ability to apply concepts, not just regurgetate information.) Yes, the material is explained in layman's terms. Yes, there were only two workbooks with powerpoint slides a
LOVE HER! Shes witty, and can combine that with teaching! Reminds me of Abby on NCIS...Smart and sexy.
OMG this professor is the best. Every lecture taught is very good, she is very funny and she tries to give examples of things. Midterm and Finals are very simple, she lets you know what will be on the exam. You do have to be there on time when its the midterm and final!
SUPER easy. attendance isnt mandatory only on group discussion days. Go review for midterm and final she gives ALL the answers. Book is only $11.00. She's down to earth and cool. DO NOT be late to an exam by any means!!! You will not take it!So dont even bother sweeting talking her.
The BOMB!
This was one of the first classes I took at this campus in spring 09 and she is still one of the best professors. She is funny and knows how to keep the class going. Easy class.
Loved Her!! Awesome teacher! Very funny, and goofy. Class is very easy! She has powerpoint and thats all she uses. Test are sooo easy! She even tells u how she writes her test so u can even guess wat questions shell ask!! Great teacher very helpful. Take her for ANY class she is teaching! ANd she is is really pretty!! Enjoyed her class 100%
I really liked her. Her class was so easy and tests were easy to ace. I really liked her style. She was fun and kept me interested even though the material was kind of boring. She jokes around and she is a little goofy.
She is easy. Take her if you need a course that doesn't mean much to you. She dumbs down the material so if you need her for a course that is essential to your educational future, you may regret your decision.
funny, laid back, and easy. tells you exactly what she wants on her two tests. attendance is a must because there are a few very easy class discussions. one of the easiest classes ever, take this class if you need an escape from your more difficult classes
Easy class, she tells you everything you need to know for her tests in a clear easily understandable way. She is a bit sarcastic though and rude to students at times. Also she stressed to us that if we were late to the midterm by even a minute we wouldn't be able to take it no excuses, then when it came she showed up 10 min late with starbucks.
She is a great teacher. She knows the material and makes it very enjoyable and easy to learn. The books are very cheap and i recommend going to class because she is smokin' hot...
Had her for 223 and 224 lab. 224 was easier but both labs were a piece of cake and she is awesome! <3 <3
She is an awesome teacher. Super funny and super easy. She basically tells you what to do to pass the class, and keeps repeating things till you get it. Laid back and chill, and she will call you out if your rude and disrespectful. but its funny. DONT BE LATE TO EXAMS!!! She hates it. But over all you want an easy A take her.
She is HOT and makes the class a freaking blast. She is the best at what she does.
A good teacher that explain her lectures really good. she tends not to use the text book and lets you know whats is going to be in the final.
Best professor I've had so far. She is really chill with her students. She makes the class fun & lectures really well. Her midterm & final were easy if you study. I enjoyed her class.
MUST TAKE CLASS. not only is it easy but it's straight forward. professor is real and down to earth. she tells you EXACTLY whats going to be on the test. She offers a book from copyplus (cheap and small) of everything you need to know and the review day for the final she has you circle which ones will be on the test. Take it! you wont regret it!
Easy class but a bit boring. Mrs Devlin is SUPER funny & very helpful if you dnt understand material. Does not take attendance, but 5 group class discussions (cnt make up) basically get points if you are there. 2 test. No Xcredit so try to do well on tests if you miss discussions. Book not needed just get powerpoint book & take notes. I got A-
Love this Professor she is very funny I recommend her to anyone. Do not need the book goes off powerpoints she does not like to teach boring stuff so class is very intresting. Take her !!! One mid term One Final Study and you will be fine. She tells you what exactly is going to be on the test. Easy pass!!!
easy pass. didnt need the book. but surprisingly it wasnt that boring and clearifed what is taught. but just need note bookto study. easy straight fwd material. in class discussions(may not have)MT & final. funny teacher but a bit boring class. Just GO! easy A.
EASY A! Tells you what exactly will be on tests! Don't know how ppl fail..REALLY. Attend Midterm Review DAY! If you miss good luck! You'd be lucky if someone actually let you know what'll b on test. You better pay them lunch! Dont show up late to test! YOU WILL FAIL! Seen it happened in our class. She's serious about iT!
best prof and class ever!! so easy!! she even tells you on the first day lol. go to every review she tells yo what on the test! also go to days where class work is assigned(she tells you when)
Very straight forward and outgoing. This class is super easy as long as you review the notes before the midterm and final.
Easy, easy, easy. Enough said. Tells you EXACTLY what'll be on the test! VERY FUNNY professor!! Love the class discussions, trust me, you'll enjoy this just as much because topics are interesting! Don't be late for exams! 1 min or 10 min late = F! This guy got an F for that!
EXTREMELY helpful and will respond to your emails in a timely manner. Biology of chordates is a tough course, but she is very helpful in the laboratory portion of the class and will only expect things that are extremely important, such as function. She will fight for fairness for students (like on lab practicals). Would definitely recommend.
She's okay....tries to be funny and it's pretty annoying. She gets snappy wen you ask her a question and asks if you're "slow". She's not professional at all, she strolls in late and her phone is ALWAYS ringing.
I also had her for computer science and microbiology,she is an awesome teacher, one of the best at this school. I highly recommend her.
Very helpful. Very good at explaining difficult subjects. I wish I had her before all my science courses. Best professor I have had.
She's so funny and great!
She is very funny and a cool teacher. The material covered is a little dry and hard to gasp but if you go to class and pay attention during test reviews it will be easy.
Kathleen is Awesome! shes a MUST HAVE for lab! She teaches you in a way you will rememberndtally understand ,not to mentionshes super cool!
I loved her!! Great professor. Everything was in the book she has you get which is like 12$ study the material and the tests are no problem. Yes she is late to class but by no more than 10 minutes. Great stories, great examples, great professor.
She is INCREDIBLE! I had no interest in this subject but she made me love it! I always came to class because she is just that awesome of a professor. I wish I had her for Anatomy!
Attend class and pay attention. That's all I can say. Oh and do not show up late to tests...or do, you may entertain your fellow classmates. Seriously though, don't.
Best teacher on campus. She's funny! But don't be late to exams!! I don't know why these comments say she is late to class! She has never been late!
Devlin is one of the best professors I've had at CSUSB. I had her for anatomy lab, she made it super understandable and easy for us. I wish she taught the lecture instead of Noreiga. Take her any chance you get! You wont regret it for a second!
She is very interesting and funny. GO TO REVEIW DAY! She is probably one of the best Science teachers Cal State has, take her if you can.
probably my top favorite teacher. loads of fun to learn from and ALWAYS has something interesting to talk about. i would recommend her for everyone. great teacher easy to talk to, understand, and enjoy class.
Awesome professor! She is very entertaining in her lectures. I really enjoyed her. I wish I could take her again if possible! Just make sure you are not late to the exams and that you go on review days!!
OH Devlin! SHe is very straight forward and harsh lol. BUt she is very helpful and REAL!!! She tells you like it is. She makes things as simple as she can, and tells us what we need to know and what will help on the exams. SHe can be very rude for no reason but thats her. SHe is a very little person with a lot of bark! I respect her.
This was a fairly easy class, if you fail just blame yourself, she tells you what's on the tests, the day prior to the exam, fun teacher, highly recommended, only reason I got a B- was my own fault for not studying sufficiently, but if you take her class you wont regret it, its easy!
Probably the best (AND HOTTEST!) professor I've EVER had. Very easy going and crystal clear when explaining course material. You will not regret taking her! I had a hard time paying attention in class because I was distracted by her beauty! Take her. You won't regret it.
She is AWESOME! I took her for lab and she is a wonderful instructor. She is very direct and tells you exactly what she expects from you. DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED
I love the way this professor teaches. She is very clear and her lectures are interesting as well. She is very clear on what she teaches, and also clear on what she expects in her class. LOVE HER!
Took this class during the summer. It was easy. 5 short quizzes, midterm, and final. All questions are directly from the book she makes you purchase. Very straightforward.
Took the online class this summer. Very easy class She set it up where you could literally finish the whole class within like 3 weeks. You need the book for the Midterm and Final and there are 5 fun-fact quizzes. I needed 2 units to be full time in the Summer and this class was beyond perfect
She is my absolute favorite teacher at CSUSB. She makes the class interest and really helps you understand. She is straight to the point and only teaches you what she wants you to know. DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED
best teacher. solo mean but i love it she's not boring at all. her lecture booklet is great. slides are already printed for you and just write down extra bits of info. but just don't miss in class discussions. 1 exam and final. Memorize what she told you to know and you'll def pass. its all on you. very recommended
Class is painless to take. Show up, pay attention, and just memorize her main points from each lecture. Class is somewhat interesting but she keeps you awake with her comments. Would recommend.
Best professor on campus, Funny and teaches you how to pass any test, then tells all the answers to her test, only need to show up day before test and in class grading days but is fun to just go listen to.
SHE IS FREAKEN AWSOME!! u guys get to see a cadaver at the end of the class. East class man she tells u what is gonna be on the midterm. If you dont get an A, man idk whats wrong with you. PEEPS TAKE HER!! she is very funny too :) no book, she has her notes to purchase at UBE for like $12 or somthing. Your gonna need it too btw
If your major is science, then the class should not be a problem for you, should study the minimum. If science is not your major, then you may have to spend more time on it. The only reason you need to show up are the in class participation and week before midterm cause she tells you exactly what you need to study. Overall, its ok
Kathleen is great. Her class was very informative and she was very specific about what we needed to study and know for the exams. She created her own booklet for the class, which made it super easy to take notes and to study for tests. The tests were not easy, but if you study what she says to, you'll do fine.
love her! she has you buy a notebook w all her lecture slides on it. she moves pretty fast, but she tells you exactly which slides to study for the exams and that's all they are. simple questions, no tricks. EASY A. go to class for discussions and class before exam day. that's when she tells you the slides
She taught my "Creating Web Pages with HTML" at Chaffey College. I enjoyed this class a lot. It started out being extremely simple, but definitely increased in difficulty towards the end. Overall, this class is easyfun, so long as you read and do all of the assigned work. And yes, she is very attractive and smart, so that's certainly a plus!
I loved Devlin's class! She was very clear in her lectures and made sure that everyone understood what she was saying. Her dissections were very clear also. She is also straightforward as well.
I took her online summer class & it was so easy. She posted all the quizzes, midterms, and final, within the first week. I was done with her class by the 2nd week. She requires you to buy a book of her ppt. & another book. Just buy the book of her ppt. & you'll pass !
No HW. A few in class assignments where you don't need to do much, midterm, and final that's it. Buy the $15 book thing she tells you to buy. Its the study guide. Before midterm and final she literally tells you what pages to study and what to expect. She is real cool and says some real funny shlt. I went to every class and recommend you should too
Midterm and final only. She gives somewhat of a study guide. She is SUPER funny. Attendance is not mandatory but if you don't show up, study. NO BOOK NEEDED! She has her own textbook was only $14
Amazing professor and if you study you should get the grade you earn! She gives you the slides to study before the test and makes everything clear!
She's down-to-earth, funny and makes the lectures interesting.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER. If you get a chance to take any of her classes, do it. She is hilarious and keeps the class interesting and easy to understand. Her goal is for her students to succeed, and if you don't, well that's on you because she is super helpful and always asks if the class understands a concept or needs more help understanding something.
Took her summer online course. 5 short quizzes on random websites, a midterm and a final. Her tests come straight from her course pack so you HAVE to buy it. Super easy.
She's dope, just don't miss class and you can pass.
Loved Devlin! She is so funny and makes the material very interesting and fun to learn. She is very clear as to what will be on the 2 exams. You're gonna need a printed book thats basically her notes and thats really it. I think she did "participation" activities but only maybe once and forgot to continue with is.
Professor Devlin is funny and very informative. She knows what she is talking about. One midterm one final. Few in class assignments for points. Likes participation.
It was a very simple class. You do not need to buy the "book" she suggests you to buy. The "book" she tells you to buy is just the power point she shares in class. She also puts it online. Just attend the classes where you have activities. Review the powerpoint, it is exactly like the midterm and final. No tricks.
Boring class. Lecture heavy. Wouldn't take again
Very straightforward professor. She doesn't give a study guide but tells you exactly what will be on the test. She makes you buy a book with her powerpoint. She is a good professor who is easy to understand .
I took this class for a GE requirement & I didn't know what to expect. This class is super easy, just show up for lectures & listen. She's hilarious so it's easy to listen. There are 5 in class assignments, 1 Midterm, and 1 final. I only showed up and listened and studied 15 minutes before the exam and I got a B+. Put in effort & you can get an A.
great professor, very funny and blunt which is a good thing. She tries to make lecture entertaining. she lets you know exactly what to study for the exams.
Take her! It's a boring class but she's hilarious and makes u want to go to class. No homework or quizzes. 1 midterm 1 final and like 5 group discussions. She tells you Exactly what is on the testjust study the slides she tells u to and you'll be fine. You buy her own course book w the powerpoints instead of the book. I'd definitely take her again
Class was actually fun and informative but her tests weren't very clear I went into both tests having memorized most of everything but her phrasing really threw me off and walking out of class almost everyone I'd talk to felt the same way. She was actually a really good teacher despite the tests however
She is a great professor. I love attending class. She is funny and gives plenty of opportunity for interaction with questions to the class.
Professor Devlin was so great! She's funny and very blunt. She is pretty tough though, her homeworks are not the easiest and her tests are not easy either. But just based off her personality I would take her again.
Long lectures, occassionally ends early. ATTEND class when there are discussions on the syllabus! and do not leave early. Pretty funny and chill. Tests are straight forward.
Online class, extremely accessible. Each week she sent out an email with the class progress, along with inspiration to get the class done. Buy the course pack for her class, only $14. She even says you can finish her entire class in a day. 4 quizzes, 1 midterm, and 1 final.
Homework is straight-forward, answers from her lecture slides. Review very specific slides for exams, NOT every single slide. Provides points if mistakes were found in exam or homework. Attending is optional, but you get a good laugh and understand the material better. Would take again for another class if she teaches it.
When she said you could finish everything in the class in two days, she really meant it! Very easy, just pay attention to the quizzes and readings you do and you'll get an easy W on the final. Take one weekend to complete it all. She is also interesting in person.
(CSE 129) Professor made lecture entertaining with her personality and teaching. "textbook" (copies of slides for the quarter ) is purchased off campus for 13$ roughly. zero homework. exams (midterm and final) based off lectures and given a study guide the lecture before the exam. final non cumulative. down to earth professor.
Come to class for the whole lecture on discussion days. Get the cheap powerpoint book from copy+ and it's basically the test. She's very straightforward and tells you what to study. You only need to come on discussion days and can quick read through the powerpoint book to pass.
Her online class is easy to pass as long as you do the work. It can be done in a couple days time if you sit down and do it. She does weekly check-ins throughout the quarter to remind students to finish the class. Honestly the only way to not pass the class is not do the little work there is.
Professor Devlin is truly amazing for the reason that she is super cool . She is truly funny, caring, and tells it like it is. Show up to her class for the five in class discussions which is used to help your grade. Study for the midterm and final exam and you will pass easily with a satisfactory grade. Examinations are multiple choice.
You have to buy the notes from Copy Plus, which is like $20. You can take the quizes and tests throughout the course. The only thing I didn't like was the midterm and final, which make up most of your grade, but it is based on the notes. So study the notes and then take the test.
I truly loved Professor Devlin! Probably my favorite instructor at CSUSB. No need to buy the textbook, she has a course pack that is for purchase.. She also gives a study guide for all exams. She is super sweet, hilarious, and cares about her students succeeding. Hoping I can find her in another course for the future!
Truly an amazing professor that is passionate about her craft. Will answer any question that you have. She also saves you money as she has you get a packet from CopyPlus for $15, instead of buying a book from the bookstore for +$90. Would take her again in a heartbeat. If you attend class, you'll pass the class.
I loved this class and I'm not even a natural science fan. She makes the class fun and interesting. There are 2 midterms and a final. Homework is done through blackboard (really easy). She gives you study guides and gives you a list of pages in the lectures that is pretty much in your exams. I highly recommend her and would love to take her again!
Im a weirdo for rating K.D +100/10 Shes �� amazing!!!
She is really knowledgeable about her craft, and is very dedicated. She is very direct and straight to the point; she can be intimidating, but as long as you do what you need to do for class youll be fine.
Was told this class was an easy A, but I had to work for it a lil. Still ended with an A somehow thankfully. She gave extra credit once by taking attendance one time randomly. Her study guide doesn't contain all the test material so show up to the review day. Great professor and makes class tolerable. Interesting topics.
pretty easy teacher, she gave around 5 homeworks but they were super easy. She tells you what slides to study for the midterm/final. she doesnt take attendance. The course pack isnt 100% necessary, its basically all the slides printed out.
I took her class during my winter quarter and she is such a great professor, raise your hand and actually participate to get your easy participation points. The textbook is free (PDF) but the book that she makes you get in the the CopyPlus spot are all of her slides and she tells you what will be in the midterm and final with it.
Just listen to her lectures and you're good. Look at a few quizlet cards and easy A . She's very tough on grades so don't come in expecting extra credit and make ups. If you keep up you'll cruise through the quarter
Devlin was great. The class consists of 5 EASY quizzes in which she gives you the link to the answers for each quiz, a midterm and a final (which was online). Class was only 1 day a week and I only went once to class and just showed up to the midterm and still ended the class with an A! Says its required to buy the book but honestly I didn't use it
Very easy A class and I really enjoyed her lectures too! Buy the course pack which doesn't even cost that much because she will tell you exactly which slides she wants you to know. Although attendance isn't mandatory you still may want to come to class since she will do a few drawing that you have to know for the exam.
Very straightforward! 5 quizzes pretty easy turn them on time! Midterm & Final straightforward study and you'll do good! Go to class you will learn a lot and its an interesting class. She funny too lol
She is a really good prof. Her class is straight forward, you need to buy a booklet with all the slides you'll be going over throughout the quarter. There are 5 quizzes online which are pretty easy if you read what is required. I really recommend her, it was an easy A if you do ALL the work.
She is so funny I highly recommend taking her class. It is such a straight forward class, she has you buy a 15 dollar course pack instead of a $49835738 dollar textbook lol. As long as you do the 5 quizzes and review quizlets for midterm and final you're good.
She was awesome. Although you do have to put effort in the midterm and final but it is an essay course. Course pack was mandatory but is was basically her lecture on paper.
I took her online class during Summer 2019. A textbook is recommended, but really you can go get a course pack, and the lecture notes are there for you. She gives you a file where you can go to the links available to use in that file for quizzes and the final. Easy A if you know what you're doing in the class. Definitely recommend this online class
Best professor ever! Just keep up with the assigned online quizzes, study what she asks you to study, and listen to her lectures. Easy A
Professor Devlin is the best her lectures are interesting. I walked in to this class saying this class is going to be boring but hell no she makes them fun and keeps you awake. AWESOME professor I recommend her.
Easy class, you don't really have to show up except for the class meeting before the exam and the day of the actual exam so you know what to study.
such a good professor! very funny and nice. 2 exams and 6 homework assignments that were online. would recommend her!
Pretty easy A. She cares a lot about participation from the class, there's only quizzes and 2 exams, sometimes online, she can seem intense but she's pretty chill.
Excellent Professor at an excellent campus.
one of the best professors i have had keeps students engaged in her lectures she will require you to buy a booklet containing all of her power point slides both exams were online and open book THE ANSWERS TO THE EXAMS ARE ON HER POWER POINTS
You want a low maintenance class with an easy A? this is definitely the class and prof for you. No final or midterms, just weekly quizzes and hw assignments every now and then. Records lecture and posts powerpoints. Lectures are interesting but not needed since everything on BB. Best class for quarantine. She does offer extra credit.
She can get distracted, but she is always willing to explain difficult concepts. If you attend her lectures, you may have to read a little to answer some questions from the test. It is a nice class to take.
Best professor yet! I highly recommend taking she is very motivational and talks about a lot of real life circumstances that made me realize what career I want to take. Over all lectures are great and she keeps students engaged and does not get boring at all! Work is okay not to much work something you can handle!
Love this woman. Take her class and have fun and I promise the only way you can fail is if you don't pay attention or don't show up. She's like the superhero of astrobio and she really makes me want to change my degree path.
Theres 11 tests and 6 HWs, she drops the lowest of the two. The HWs are just quizzes based on some videos. The test are pretty easy. The textbook is provided, you don't have to show up to class and she tries to upload everything early so you can be done with the class asap. Probably the easiest class ive taken.
She is a very funny and outgoing professor, which makes you want to keep attending the class. Not only that but she has no exams!! Just homework and lecture tests which are easy if you attend or watch recorded lectures. Great professor
Professor Devlin was very easy to reach. If you have trouble with assignments, she has many different forms of contact and does get back to you quickly! She is very detailed in her zoom sessions and is frankly quite friendly! Just do your textbook homework and submit your assignments on time. She may accept late work but don't quote me on that.
Professor Devlin cares about her students. I took her class online recently. Her online class works like this; Read the book, watch the videos, participate in discussions and complete your assignments. Everything is fairly straightforward. She responds to her email, usually within 24 hours or so. She engages with her students and helps you! A Plus!
Professor Devlin is amazing! Her lectures are very interesting and she is not boring even when the topics are a bit dry. Homework and quizzes were easy and right from her Powerpoints.
She was a great professor, gives good and understanding lectures. Keeps the class active and engaged. Offers few extra credit opportunities, but overall not a hard class. Quizzes were based off lecture so pay attention to what she says.
Professor Devlin was one of my favorite professors to have. Her lectures are quick and to the point. She is very knowledgeable in the field and has a great way of teaching you the subject. There are no exams and a couple of easy quizzes in her class that you can easily pass if you read the chapter. The final project of the class was very fun to do.
Pretty reasonable class. Lectures were also pretty entertaining! She actually made at home learning enjoyable. I'd recommend her to anyone.
Prof Devlin made her own eBook for the course and it is super helpful. The homework assignments are easy and she takes off the lowest one! I had her for the 4-week summer course and we had to read practically everyday, but it was doable! Tests are hard if you don't read her eBook + PPs. I still recommend her 100%.
Professor Devlin is hilarious, she makes her lectures interesting and is open to answering any questions. Take her you will not regret it. She provides the text needed for class and is easy to download.
Blunt & no-nonsense type, yet caring & funny. No textbook needed. Easy assignments, easy grader. Show enough effort & you'll do good, except for certain assignments. Attendance for in-class points. Lot of lecture, sometimes partner/group work. Read the syllabus before asking questions. Email or office hours available. Appreciates participation.
She is very a very straight forward professor and WILL say what she thinks. Her lectures are very interesting and she does try to make them not boring. Overall her class is very easy to pass if you pay attention.
Devlin is a really fun professor and it was fun watching the lecture! BUT you don't have to attend to pass the class. The lectures she gives are already in an ebook she tells you to buy and the exams are strictly on the ebook. Very easy A for GE class.
HW assignments are based on YouTube videos (Open transcripts and find answer). Exams are based on PowerPoints she provide ( Control + F to find answers). Attendance was optional between in person or zoom. Passed her class only attending one time in person. She overall is an ok professor. Her work is not hard but she is disorganized.
She's a really nice professor, would definitely recommend this professor! Just to let you know this class isn't about astronomy but about how the stars came to be, etc. This class is lecture heavy but can use commF on textbook to understand questions. Will have 2midterms with 1 final! Make sure to note questions answered in lectures or asked.
she was funny and her class is cool. you learn a lot of interesting things in astronomy. She made her own textbook so it can be more simplified. Go to class whether it is online or in person its not mandatory I think but if you just show up and listen and engage then you'll for sure pass the class
She's really great as a person, she calls out people if they're not in line. HW was easy and so were the midterms, you dont need to buy the book it is just an extra resource. Uses iclicker for attendance and participation. she allows you to go in person or on zoom which is super convenient.
All tests/quizzes got multiple attempts, discussions are easy. Very good class and understood everything. Definitely on the easy side but still makes sure you get what the topic is. Textbook is a free online book. Take her class , she a great professor. I went in this class with no knowledge of HTML , came out with 100% more.
Devlin is great! I think it was out of my own laziness I didn't get an A+!!! Be prepared, read, take your time with the quizzes/homework, and take good notes for the exams. I am sure there is a better way to study for her exams (that are timed!!!), but I just couldn't get into that grove!!!!
The $30 textbook is mainly useful for completing assignments, but the PowerPoints can also fill the need. Go to class as you will likely use IClicker. The assignments are not too hard but make sure to brush up on the material before hand. She does let you take the quizzes with her if you go to her office hours. None of the material is too hard.
easy class, interesting class, watch the video, Sometimes turn off the lights and watch videos, like a museum. Online exams and homework.
Professor Devlin is a really cool professor. I took ASTR 3000 with her, and I appreciated her perspective when combining the multiple disciplines covered in the course (biology, etc.) Textbook is free to access, quizzes and tests are online, super easy to follow through. If you need something that isn't too stressful, this is a good course.
Professor Devlin is the BEST professor I have ever had! She is so kind and super funny. I enjoyed every class and learned so much about things that will help me with adulting such as how to complete my own taxes, budget money, move out, etc. She also gives points just for attending class. If you can take this class, I 110% recommend it!
Class is fun, the textbook USB and the pop quiz app she uses are a pain though. Overall it is very easy.
great professor i would 100% take her again. easy A in my opinion and a lot of interesting topics are discussed so i looked forward to going to class a lot of the time. practically zero homework and there's no tests or final or midterm either.
Professor Devlin really cares about her students. She takes the time to work with you when you need help and guidance through homework.
Professor Devlin is simply the BEST. The GOAT. I loved her class; it was easy to succeed, she made it extremely interesting, and she genuinely wanted you to love the class (everyone did). If her class fits in your schedule, TAKE HER!! The class is fascinating and the teaching style top notch. She also drops your lowest test and homework scores.
Definitely recommend this class if you're looking for an easy GED. To get an A, put effort into the assignments and show up to class for participation points. It doesn't matter what major you are, she will teach you so much about adulting such as job interview tips, moving out, etc. She's blunt yet funny and just wants the best for her students.
Simply one of the coolest, most caring professors a student can have! Really simple class of just showing up and doing assignment. No tests, quizzes (Other than the in class participation points), no final, only assignments. Truly one of the easiest GE's and the best time I've had in a class. Please take her if you have the opportunity to!
The class is really easy with little assigned work. However, Professor Devlin has a very strong personality. I found that her attitude made the class so much less enjoyable. Every time I interacted with her, she'd cut me off or respond kinda rudely; that's just the way she is. Wish I'd dropped the class when I had the chance.
Professor Devlin is super caring and very funny in my opinion. She does have a strong personality so just beware of that but she's great. This was probably the most easiest GE class I've taken. There were only a handful of assignments that she grades and there are no test, quizzes, or projects. If you can get this class with her take it.
Took this class online over summer. This class was super boring, but it wasn't hard. Lectures are super slow going and she uses the epub and it made everything so difficult to access information you needed. But ultimately we had a handful of hmwk assignments and a few tests. She dropped our lowest Hmwk and Test scores. No projects/papers.
Professor Devlin's ASTR3000 class is intriguing and manageable. The lectures can be dry, but she makes the material engaging. The free textbook and online assessments are convenient. Unstuckstudy ai helped me ace the quizzes. Overall, a solid course.
This was my favorite class, it was interesting and professor Devlin makes learning so fun and relatable. There's homework due every month that's really easy. 4 exams that are open note, but are timed, but even these are easy. and her lectures are fun to listen to. I would highly recommend taking this class if you need credits.
She is an excellent professor, her passion for the material is apparent. She assigns 6 homework's & 4 exams but she drops the lowest for both. She did have 1 extra credit assignment & she is available outside of class. Just remember to study she emphasized that after the first exam people don't study so their grade goes down. But I'd recommend her.
Excellent professor for GE. Do not need to go to class unless you simply want to learn. The assignments and exams are all online. The answers found within the powerpoints and videos she assigns. Very easy and stress-free class.
Attendance is your grade besides like 5 assignments. Dont take if you have work or a schedule that isnt flexible, because you need to be present to get points, and there is a 50/50 chance she even takes attendance when you're there. She is super inconsistent, meaning your grade is inconsistent. I dropped a letter grade for missing a few days.
Easiest GE class. Just show up and you'll be fine.
This was my favorite professor of this semester
Professor Devlin makes lectures interesting and fun. She teaches in a style that is easy for students to understand. Attendance is not mandatory and grades are based on exams and homework. She also drops the lowest score on these assignments and offers extra credit. I would recommend taking this class due to the interesting content and lectures.
She provides the PowerPoint and everything you'll need for the exams. Coming to class certainly helps, but you could probably pass with the PowerPoint's alone. Super chill class, and she's very transparent as to how the class will go and how grading is evaluated.
I enjoyed this class; everything can be done online. Her lectures are a bit boring, though.
Prof devlin is real ngl shes amazing we were her first I think cse 2020 class but she is amazing, the subject cse 2020 is hard but she teaches it in a way that is understandable but one thing is that 1 midterm 1 final but midterm is broken up mc/tf etc and a hand written coding structure and final same thing but the coding was in zybooks 10/10 prof
