Excellent teacher! Perhaps "u" should get off your butt and go to class.

Best class I had throughout the semester. Always found the topics interesting and understandable.

Very nice, cool, and fun prof. Likes to joke around and laugh. Really tries to get the class involved. Material is hard, she's a pretty good lecturer. Extremely helpful and very knowledgable. Great prof overall.

She's an excellent professor. Her lectures are clear. She's funny, witty and makes the class very interesting to sit through. But you really do have to attend all over her classes. Overall, she's a fair prof.

She'd tough but man is she a wonderful teacher. Don't let these write up's scare you, she's MARVELOUS!

Amazing. If you cannot keep up, then you will die, survival of the smartest.

When people rate Dr. Gilbride, most rate out of prejudice. If Biology was a course that was fairly easy to get an A+ out of, be prepared to be technical and thorough in your explanation now, and you'll succeed. She is the iron fist of Biology but only because she wants you to learn. Don't assume she's a monster because she's actually quite nice.

She knows her material well and expect students to do the same. I think she's a great lecturer and approachable. She is tough, but with good study pattern and method, it is not impossible to get A+

Fairly decent prof. Exams were massively long though, so watch out for that.

Extremely hard prof. You might be better of reading the text for this course. She focuses a lot on cellular level chemistry as opposed to biology. I swore that is why I took micro. If you don't need to take it in a hurry, put it off.

Good prof but hard tests ... class avg on midterms hovers at ~60%

Professor Gilbride is one of the most passionate, caring and intelligent teachers I have ever come across. I finished my undergrad at a different University and with full confidence can rate her as 5+/5. She has thorough exams, but answers all questions in a clear, concise and educated manner. She loves Biology and because of her, so do I.

Amazing prof with high standards. Work hard and you'll do well.

ok and easy to understand but fast a bit

Dr. Gilbride is not a bad professor, I think she goes into good detail about what she teaches. However, her exams are beyond what you learn in class. I don't Recommend NOT taking her class because they usually ahve 3 prof, the othet two are extraordinary.

Prof Gilbride KNOWS her stuff...yes, she is TOUGHh, and I mean REALLY TOUGH, BUT (& this ia a BIG BUT), if you work hard, you can get an A grade. The issue is this is a 1st yr course and students are NOT used to studying...WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD! If you study, its great, if not, ANY material is difficult!

She knows her stuff, but is REALLY hard. You gotta work really hard in microbiology for an A. Midterm/final were relatively straight forward with not many tricks. HOWEVER, she does expect you to know very suttle details about specific topics that you WOULDN'T think to study! Overall, knowledgeable but could improve in overall easiness.

Explains the material very well.

Shes is pretty good! Knows her stuff and is very enthusiastic but hard as well.

Very good professor, extremely helpful, exam will be easy as long as you study the book. Attendance is not mandatory.

She's an ok professor. A little sarcastic sometimes. I took a first year class with her and didn't find her as hard as everyone here said she is.

I didn't find her to be as bad of a prof as many students claim she is. She's great at explaining things, and her notes are straight out of the textbook. Study hard for her midterms though, many students fail her short-answer section.

Good prof, uses great examples to help understand material. Was very monotone and quite boring to listen to. Exams were also quite hard and needed a lot of studying.

Generally pretty easy to understand but went through material really quickly. Made a lot of analogies which were pretty helpful. Notes posted online. Don't need textbook.

I really enjoyed Dr. Gilbride's class through the Chang school. She is very approachable and helpful with questions. Most of the material is review from grade 12. Big on definitions and processes so if you pay attention to her notes and the process images, you shouldn't have a problem. Midterm was fair, the lab was easy, final was harder though.

Her lecture slides are based from the textbook. Her slides were fill in the blank. Her midterm and final consist of both short answer and multiple choice. M/C wasn't that hard at all. S/A you need to know in depth, but she barely tells you what to study. Also, she was behind her material this year. However, overall it was pretty good for me.

She got behind and crammed at the end, but crammed materials were given as bonus questions. Her M/C is not hard, and short answers are not difficult, but detail oriented. There are alot of chapters to cover, and that's why she crammed at the end. Otherwise, she is a good professor.

I'm in the art program i didn't sign up for this, reddit told me it was an easy a

She is a solid professor, her lectures go hand in hand with the textbook. Her multiple choice can be quite over-barring, especially since her final exam is weighted heavily (45%). She is also very picky with short answers. I highly recommend reading the textbook chapters since her lecture slides can sometimes be bare bones.

This course is very lecture heavy. We covered around 14 chapters with 8 of them on the final and 8 of them on the midterm (2 chapters from the midterm were covered again on the final). I found the lectures boring and studied and made my own notes from the textbook thats the best thing to do. Group tests help ALOT! Overall the course was pretty good

This course was lecture heavy! Go to every single class and review the notes after each lecture so you don't fall behind. Dr. Gilbride is a sweet lady. She's approachable and helps you out when you go to her for questions. The course breakdown is: 3 in-class group quizzes (30%), 1 midterm (25%) and final (45%).

She's a very helpful and caring professor. Attendance is highly recommended as her lecture notes have fill in the blanks. Overall, with good studying ethics and revising her lecture slides on a regular, her midterms and exams questions shouldn't come across as too difficult. Group tests are definitely a mark booster! Getting an A is achievable.

Gilbride was such a great prof geared to my auditory way of learning, though her ppts may have just included pictures, her explanations proved a greater understanding of the concepts at hand, and allowed me to remember every word during the midterm and final! She gives many chances to bring your grade up with lab quizzes/ mastering and assignments!

Dr. Gilbride is an incredible lecturer; she provided analogies and was enthusiastic about the content. Midterm and final are not as difficult as everyone says - if you actually put in the effort, you'll be fine!

Two professors taught the course, Kimberly being the first one and we for sure missed her tons. The amount of info you have to read is not achievable in 1 week so be ready to read before that. However, her lectures were always clear, fun and straight to the point. Tends to explain the heavy parts with mnemonics and doesn't rush. Great bio teacher!

She's so sweet and funny! She talks with the class rather than lecturing, which helps you to remember a lot more! She doesn't post the blanks on her slides so it's pretty important to attend her lectures. The exams were fair and as long as you keep up on your readings, it's easy to do well. Make sure to study for lab quizzes! They're specific!

I absolutely love Dr. Gilbride. She is a great prof and her tests are fair. She keeps the class engaged by being positive and making jokes here and there. I will note that reading the textbook is a MUST because her tests have questions in the text but the main concepts are always emphasized and she gives hints on what's important during lectures.

Amazing lecture and fair final and midterm exam.

Best prof i have ever had .

Great prof, she makes watching lectures enjoyable. She explains everything super well which made the quizzes easy. The tests had fair questions but were marked unnecessarily hard by the TA's.

Dr. Gilbride is a really amazing lecturer, I purchased the textbook but barely used it. What she says in lectures is on the Midterms and Finals, so definitely pay attention and take good notes! One thing I will say, is about 15-20% of the compiled tests is application, which there really is no way to study for.

Lectures weren't bad, she's nice and will willingly go over tests with you if you reach out. But, her tests can be quite difficult. Lots of studying, make flash cards or something because she doesn't assign you homework questions.

She's a great prof, and she certainly knows her stuff. The midterms and exams were fair, but the grading can be hard.
