Great Teacher! Very clear and approachable. Take her if you can.

Really clear. not an easy class. lots of memorization but it is expected. extremely helpful. clear lecture notes already printed for you. not boring at all. lots of diagrams. 4 pop quizes. 3 exams, last one cummulative. need to go to class.

Anatomy is a hard class...Gobetz makes it as easy as possible. No tricks, tells you what you need to know. EXTREMELY HELPFUL...wants you to do well. Sets up review times and is very good about emailing people back. Take her if possible! :-) She made the class AWESOME!

What a kind soul! She is such a sweet teacher. She makes things EXTREMELY clear and only wants to help her students. She gives us hints sometimes during quizzes. She loves what she does and loves to see her students excel. Take her if you have a chance next semester, she's the more clearer and easier teacher.

very very nice teacher. three exams, the final is cummulative. got A's on the exams and a B on the final. exams have multiple choice, fill in the blank mostly. clear power points and always willing to help if there is any confusion. really excited about the matieral and fun in class. take her!!!

Makes anatomy as easy as possible with funny pictures and analogies. Take her shes a great teacher!

Extremely nice and helpful. She gives outlines that detail EVERYTHING on the test - study them and you are golden for the tests. Very little textbook reading is actually necessary. She is such a great, wonderful, funny person!

Anatomy is a very difficult class, but it will seem easy because of the teaching. The atmosphere is friendly and laid back, and you get opportunites to test yourself. Great teacher for someone so young, and new at JMU.

Wonderful professor that is clear, nice, knowledgable, and sensible. What more can you ask for?

She is a really good teacher, pretty young and can relate, doesn't try to make things too hard. Take her for sure!

She's kind of scatter brained and unorganized at 8 AM but I hear she's awesome later in the day. She's always willing to help, and generally wants her students to do well. Anatomy is a very hard class and you really shouldn't skip any lectures if you want to do well! DON'T FALL BEHIND ON LEARNING YOUR MUSCLES!!

She is a little scatterbrained at 8 am but isn't hard to understand if you foloow the course notes. She explains things well and her tests aren't difficult if you prepare and study. Attendance is mandatory but it is better to go to class. Take her if you can.

Dr. Gobetz was the last professor I had at JMU. Her class is extremely challenging, and I was thankful just for passing it. The hours of work this class involves is extrodinary. With that said though, I can honestly say that you will not find another teacher as helpful, caring, and understanding towards a student. She is a remarkable teacher.

Gobetz is a really nice person but an okay teacher. She jumps around alot and she is kind of scattered brain. You will probably learn more in lab.

Gobetz is a VERY nice person. A little scatterbrained and a little quarky. She loves the people magazine and will talk about lindsey lohan. She however IS EXTREMELY HELPFUL. she literally writes a page each lab report to give you pointers for the next one. Great teacher, just boring material but she makes it good.

Gobetz is the BOMB. I loved her. She was always willing to explain things and get down on your level. Her BIO124 Lab was actually a lot of fun and quite interesting. The most helpful teacher I've had at JMU so far. She coached me through all the material on the final - Know how do statistical tests in their entirety for the final exam.

The worst thing about Gobetz is that she usually shows up about five minutes late. While this is SUPER annoying since it's such a hard class and there's so much to go through, she's a great instructor. I definitely recommend her.

Nice lady, very easy to get along with and talk to outside of class. Not the most organized, but if you pay attention and ask questions, there will be no problems. Overall: Great.

She is a really good instructor for labs even though she shows up late sometimes. She assigned quizzes every week which really help to make you study and not just wait until the week before the test (DON'T DO IT!) It was a great class for me, and I always felt really prepared for the practicals.

Living Learning Community Class was really enjoyable. She's a little scatterbrained but very helpful. You can tell she loves what she does and would love to talk to you about biology or her research. Would recommend even if your unsure about biology.

I love Dr. Gobetz!! All she wants is for her students to succeed! You always feel like you can talk to her at any time about anything

Amazing teacher! I already loved biology, but she made everything interesting. Always came in to class with a smile, and was always ready to help if you needed any. Great to talk to, and I have decided to do research with her she was such a great professor. Just sit back and relax in this class!

Dr. Gobetz is such a great professor. She is easy and funny and she makes lab NOT suck... It's really a bearable class when you have her as your professor.. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER. SERIOUSLY, TAKE HER.

Anatomy is intimidating. Dr. Gobetz helps a lot in this class because she makes everything very clear in lecture. She wants to make sure everyone understands and welcomes questions. Colored pencils in class make a difference! I would definitely recommend Dr. Gobetz for such a difficult class.

Dr. Gobetz is super funny and always thinks of helpful ways to remember the material. Anatomy is hard, but she will get you through it

Anatomy requires a ton of work, but Gobetz gives fair tests. They're pretty easy if you know the information. She can be a little scattered sometimes, but I loved her. She's the sweetest lady and really want you to succeed.

One of my favorite professors. Pretty laid back upper level class. The class size was small so we all got to know each other well, and even though she has a tendency to ramble sometimes she's an excellent teacher. She focuses on showing examples of things in lab instead of just throwing slides and words at you. Also super funny. Likes bunnies.

I absolutely love this lady. I really enjoy having her as a professor. She's very laid back and definitely wants people to succeed and do well in her class. She's extremely helpful, funny, cute, and awkward. DEFINITELY TAKE HER

I find Gobetz to be extremely annoying, but she definitely knows her stuff. Anatomy requires a lot of time and effort no matter who you have, but her tests are very straightforward and directly from the course pack.

If you work hard in this class, an A is absolutely possible. You have to study in order to do well on each test. Pay attention in lecture and ask questions in lab. Gobetz is fair in her grading- you will get the grade that you work for. This class distinguishes students who are willing to go above and beyond from students who settle for mediocrity.

She is the best choice for anatomy. Although she is sometimes unorganized, scatterbrained & jumps around a lot in lecture her tests are very fair. It is not impossible to get an A you just have to work hard & study a ton! Her notes are great but she doesnt use the same pictures she uses in lecture which is frustrating. Colored pencils are a must!

Anatomy is a hard class, but taking it with Gobetz makes it manageable. She gives course notes, so listening in class and following along is easier. 5 tests, including the final. Tests are all multiple choice. Going to her in office hours is definitely worth it. She clarifies lecture material and pinpoints what you should be studying. 100% take her

Gobetz was a great professor! She's a little awkward, but she is really nice and funny! She is very approachable and really wants to help you be successful in the class

TAKE HER!!! She really wants you to do well and explains everything very well. She has her own lecture notes book where you take notes and it has all the figures/images in it that you need to know for lecture exams. (extremely helpful and easy to follow!) If you study and know the material her tests are easy!

She is an excellent lab teacher but strangely does not like touching cadaver. She helps you understand when you are able to snatch her during lab. She does not make the tests but her tests are fair but you need to know your lab manual. Does not take attendance but you will fail her class if you do not go

Dr Gobetz is the best option for 290. It is a very difficult class, but she is organized, knows her stuff, and tries her best to make the information memorable. She is also incredibly helpful if you go see her outside of class. Her tests are all multiple choice and relatively straight forward. It's hard, but she makes it less terrible.

Dr. Gobetz was amazing! She was very helpful and gave lots of hints to lab exams in class. Would def take her again!

Anatomy is a hard class, lots of people have to retake it, but Gobetz really does her best to get you through it. Her lecture exams are not as detail oriented as some of the other professors which makes it a little more passable! I faced burnout at the end of the semester, but it wasn't her fault- it's just a tough class! She is pretty funny

Gobetz is really sweet. Her lab is very much based about going at your own pace & asking her/ the TAs any questions. So, speak up if you have a question and she will help. The material reinforces what you discuss in lecture, so if you review and stay the full time to ask her tips/ tricks to remember you will be okay! Definitely take her if you can.

She makes a hard class a lot easier. Though she has some awkward humor, she breaks down the material in a way that actually makes sense and is very clear with what she expects from you. She's very helpful and willing to answer any and all questions as thoroughly as you need her to.

She gives you good tricks to memorize the material and also had a good sense of humor to make this difficult class bareable.

She is such a sweet woman. In anatomy lab she is super helpful and really knowledgable. She knows her stuff and it really helps to use her as a resource to help in anatomy which is a lot of work to begin with so having her there helped a lot.

Anatomy is HARD, but she makes this class clear and gives straightforward tests. She wants her students to do well and literally gives you everything to succeed. Be prepared to study a lot! You earn the grade you work. Don't procrastinate and study literally everyday.

She has a coursepack from the bookstore which make lecture that much easier- just filling in blanks and coloring pictures. Attendance not mandatory but she will surprise you and take attendance every so often. Sweet, caring, and laid back! Atlas is more so for lab, but as long as you memorize the lab notebook and lecture images you'll ace the class

gobetz rocks. if you can take her, shes the best BIO 290 professor for lecture! everything of her tests is straightforward she is not there to trick you, she wants everyone to do well. her pre-made coursepack is extremely helpful.

Shes super sweet, understanding, and helpful! Her tests can be phrased in a slightly confusing way sometimes, but just study a little and think. She does do clicker questions, so I wouldn't recommend skipping too much, but her you buy course notes at the beginning of the semester and just fill in the blank, so skipping a few times isn't a big deal.

Gobetz is an adorable professor that is very passionate about her lectures. She brings her bunnies in on tests days and the tests are very straightforward.

Gobetz is a great professor for BIO 150 and understands it isn't everyone's priority class. She makes lecture as interesting as possible and asks questions directly from the notes

I love Dr. Gobetz! She's so sweet and is always making jokes to lighten the mood. She makes anatomy lab more interesting and explains the things you need to know really well. She gives 2 quizzes per unit but usually counts the better of the 2. Would 100% recommend for anatomy lab

Dr. Gobetz is the best professor at JMU. She is so kind and considerate and low-key hilarious. I highly recommend taking her for any class, especially anatomy.

Gobetz is one of my favorite professors at JMU! If you have to take anatomy definitely try to take her for lecture or lab. She is so sweet, funny, and is always very open to any questions and is super willing to help you. She gives quizzes almost every lab but always tells you when they are coming.

Gobetz was one of my favorite professors here at JMU. She truly cares about how well her students do and wants to make sure she is teaching clearly. She is really funny in class and sometimes will bring her bunnies for motivation. Her class isn't really mandatory but she will have random attendance checkpoints. Anatomy is hard in general so go.

Gobetz is amazing! She is so funny and makes BIO290 lecture really easy. I studied the material the day before the test, and got an A on every one. TAKE HER! Btw, anatomy lecture is easy but lab is 10x harder.

I love Dr. Gobetz! I had her for anatomy and 150 and she's great in every aspect. She has course notes for the semester so the notes are easier to take. Attendance isn't mandatory but she'll have questions on occasion that you send her to show you were there. She's quirky but that helps keep lecture interesting. She sometimes brings her bunnies :)

I absolutely love Dr. Gobetz, she is very enthusiastic and knowledgeable on the topics, makes class fly by and is a fair grader. Try to get her!!!

bio290 is known for being an extremely hard class but Gobetz has made it so understandable. her lectures are straightforward and shes enthusiastic about her course. super approachable and willing to explain and listen to any questions you have. has a lecture notebook to go w her lectures that make studying much easier. 100% TAKE HER IF YOU CAN!!!

Anatomy is very hard no matter who is teaching but Gobetz is very nice and makes the material easy to understand. Both her lab and lecture are really good and I enjoyed her as a professor. You have to study a lot to do well but that is just part of anatomy. she doesn't assign an actual textbook but get an atlas!! it helps!!

best professor ive ever had shes the sweetest person and she has bunnies too. she truly cares about everyone so much and while anatomy was the hardest class ive ever taken in my life im glad that i had her to make things a little better

Best professor I've had. Anatomy is a challenging class but she made the lectures fun and really made the class worth coming. She's so sweet and you can really tell that she tries to make the class more interesting and she really cares about her students. Tests are straight forward if you study alot. Definitely recommend her she's amazing!

Great teacher!! it is an extremely difficult class due to the amount of info you have to learn in a short time. She always told people ways to remember things and was very interesting. She is awesome and approachable. Study and you will succeed! I had to work my butt off but the test was VERY fair! Take her you won't regret it!

Gobetz is a sweet professor but the online format was unorganized and made it difficult to learn. I highly suggest taking this class with her when we're fully in person.

The grading problem isn't with the professor but the department. I had a meeting with Gobetz, where I was told that the department does not want people getting good grades since it will boost your lecture grade. They want the average to be a C in the class. The problem isn't with the professor but the department. She does tend to not answer emails.

Pretty easy class, as long as you sort of pay attention you will be fine. If you are engaged throughout the semester you will almost always get an A. Most content is common sense. Buy the lecture notes from the bookstore they are very important

I did well in this class, but I studied A LOT! Be ready to put in a lot of work, but getting an A is very possible with the right amount of studying. Go to every available office hours and ask questions! No homework, grade mainly depends on tests so start studying material early. Overall, she was late and disorganized, but definitely a good choice!

I LOVEEE Dr. Gobetz! Her teaching style may not work for everyone-- she can seem "all over the place" during her lectures to some people. But as an "all over the place" thinker myself, her teaching style was perfect because she answered questions before I could get distracted thinking about them. She's passionate and funny wicked smart. THE BEST!

Although sometimes disorganized, Professor Gobetz is an amazing professor. As long as you study the course pack and put in the time, you should pass with ease. She made lectures interesting and even brought her bunny on exam days! The exams were extremely straight forward and I never felt that she was trying to trick me. Definitely take her.

Mammology was seriously one of my favorite classes this semester. The tests are not that bad if you pay attention. Everything in her class is fill in the blank. Could not recommend her more. She is so passionate about this topic and the class is actually fun and interesting. Plus you get lab credit for the easiest lab i've ever taken.

This class is relatively easy as long as you study. However, you have to show up to class for attendance quizzes and some in class assignments are hard for no reason. She is not the most organized person, and is often late to class. Overall, the class is far easier than BIO 140, and I only really had to study for tests the day of to get an A's.

Love this professor. She definitely cares about her students and wants them to succeed. You're graded on very few things which kinda sucks, but she does give some extra points. Attendance technically is not mandatory but she does not post lecture slides online.

Gobetz is a good professor. There are three exams in her class, one each month and then a final at the end. She grades attendance through a worksheet that's completed after class. She tends to be contradicting at times, but is very helpful when it comes to your concerns and emails.

Genuinely the best professor I've had. A little disorganized, but still explains material in a clear way and gives you course notes. Attendance is mandatory, she randomly gives out small assignments to keep track of who was there. No notes (or anything really) on her canvas. Test questions were sometimes confusing, but still doable w/o studying.

This class is super easy to do well in if you study and put the work in. There are little in class activities that are good for a little grade boost. She is super nice and willing to help. The tests are multiple choice with short answer at the end but are applying concept based. I easily could've gotten an A if I actually studied.

Slightly disorganized but explains topics in a way that is very easy to understand. No textbook is necessary because she offers course notes which are fill in the blank. Attendance isn't mandatory but she does give out random in class graded assignments.

She has so much energy and really wakes me up early in the morning, she brings her bunny to tests and its so cute. I would take her again 100%

Dr. Gobetz is so sweet! She really tried to make lectures interesting, and really cares about her students. She does a really good job engaging with the students, even in lectures with 100 people. TAKE HER for BIO150, you will not regret it and it's a pretty easy A if you study and go to class.

I had Gobetz for 150 and now for anatomy lab and I always love her. She cares so much about you! For 150 it was easy but for Anatomy lab, well, it is anatomy. Anatomy is extremely hard but she tries to help you the best she can.

TAKE GOBETZ FOR BIO150!!! She is so amazing and truly cares about her student's success. She relates lectures to real-world examples which makes it very easy to comprehend. Exams are slightly difficult but there are only 3 exams (including final). She is honestly the best professor I've had at JMU so far.

I LOVE Professor Gobetz! She really cares about her students, and she is very passionate about the topics she teaches. Definitely take her if you want to learn a lot and having a caring professor!!!!

She is an amazing professor!!! She is so passionate about what she teaches and even takes examples from students to see how she can incorporate them in lecture. Her tests are formatted a little weird, but GO TO CLASS because attendance is 35% of your grade, so even if you bomb the exams, you will still do okay in the class.

Dr. Gobetz is hilarious, extremely helpful, and really appreciates when people actually try. Sometimes she brings in her bunny, which is nice. Make sure you catch her at the beginning of lab, though. She gets attached to 1 group for an entire class period and it's really hard to get help from her after that. I wish she had more ASC hours, though.

One of the most amazing professors I've had so far. I only failed because I didn't apply myself. High energy and lectures are really entertaining. She brings in her bunny sometimes for us to pet.

Dr. Gobetz has an awesome personality and makes several funny jokes throughout lectures. Lectures are provided with fill-in notes but she doesn't post them online so you actually do have to attend. She brings her bunny on exam days which is sweet but exams are honestly pretty difficult as they are application-based and not many grades.

Nothing negative to say about her. Easy exams, easy to follow lectures, and she is so funny. Brought her bunnies to class multiple times. She LOVES what she is teaching and is so good at it. Loved her so much

Dr. Gobetz is a very sweet lady, but there are 3 exams that are very wordy and have to study for. Lecture is interesting, but must attend class if you want notes, because she doesn't post them and they are fill in the blank. No mandatory attendance, but there is in-class participation that if you miss, it'll tank your grade.

There is a quiz every class based on the manual. The class is self guided but Dr. Gobetz does go around and help or she'll lecture on the models and wall charts. It's best to take a good look at every model that you see in class because it will most likely be on the exam.

Gobetz never really taught anything it was just sort of a free for all Lab time

Dr. Gobetz was good at explaining relevant concepts for the lab practicals, but you have to seek her out in lab. Lab is really what you make of it, so don't expect to do well if you just sit there. If you ask her to walk you through the cadavers and wall charts, she is very helpful and understanding. Weekly quizzes can be kinda specific.

LOVE Gobetz! She's very nice and very accommodating. The only material we needed to buy for the class was like a $35 binder full of all of the notes from class with blanks to fill in. It made note taking so much easier because I had more time to be present with the material instead of scrambling to write everything important.

I thought she was a great professor. It's clear she's passionate about what she's teaching. She sells a lecture handbook for like $20 with fill in notes that's not required but is SUPER helpful. Theres 3 exams and they aren't too bad as long as you study go to and pay attention to lectures.

Gobetz was great! All we needed was a notes binder with fill in the blanks notes which made following lectures very easy. While attendance is not technically mandatory, she does not post the notes and we have in class assignments almost every class which can really help your grade. There is barely any outside work and only three tests.

Attendance isn't mandatory, but to get lecture notes you have to go to class as she doesn't post her slides. She also randomly does in class assignments, which are easy, but you need to be there to get credit. Don't buy textbook, as she doesn't use it. Super funny character and brings her bunny's to class on exams.

She is nice- but doesn't post slides, so go to class (even tho it's optional) to fill in notes (you have to buy ~$35). There are in class assignments randomly which do help your grade if you do well. The tests are kinda specific and hard, so beware. No need for textbook, and she brings her bunnies to class on exam days!

Dr. Gobetz is super sweet and passionate. You're graded on 3 exams and easy in-class work. She's very helpful during office hours. But you don't get much practice until she posts practice exams right before tests, so if you bomb one exam, you may be cooked.

She is a nice lady but doesn't really teach much. Make sure to really study before the pre lab quizzes bc you won't do good on them if you don't. Lab is mainly just looking at different models and the cadavers. Really look at the cadavers bc they are the only time you can see them before practicals. Also she brings her bunny when we have practicals
