This was her first year teaching college but she was GREAT...She is super friendly, gives extra credit, and makes biology easy and fun to understand...I took her class at the el toro campus and loved it....If you study her study guides and do the work you will get an A...highly recommend her

YOU HAVE TO GO TO CLASS! she has these mini activities everyday and all together they are worth more than your midterm or final. ask her for help on the essays and make sure to start your study guide right when she gives it to you. her lectures are way boring and most people fell asleep but at least go for the activities

She does a good job covering the material and the study guide has what ya need for the test. Have to go to the class cuz of assignments given

Nice professor; 2 exams (midterm and final), 2 quizzes, 2 papers, extra credit built into the course. Basically what's on the study guide is what's going to be on the exams and quizzes. Pretty easy really, I wish I didn't procrastinate so much >.>; I know I could have gotten an A.

Her lectures are boring but must go to class everyday. She gives assignments almost all everyday, but they help your grade a lot! Her exams arent too hard either. They consist of short answers( she basically tells what the short answers will be) and m/c. The m/c I found hard. Overall an ok class. I got a B+

her marine bio class is really fun and i learned a lot in the semester i had her! she has a lot of experience in the topic and comes from the east coast so its always interesting to hear her comparisons of eastern US marine life to the ones in california. if u really want to learn about marine biology id definitely recommend this class

i hate science. I got a B in her class. I never went to class, just for the assignments. DO GOOD IN THE QUIZZES they are openbook, open, everything. Thats how I passed. Her tests are a bit challenging. I recommend her, if you don't like to go to class.

Very friendly, gives a lot extra credit compared to other teachers. More importantly, she makes BIO understandable for students. She gives out study guides which are of great help on tests. Study those and you'll do fine. Really, great class and great teacher.

Intelligent, friengly, cogent, easy, and funny. I recommend her, unless you're an evangelical creationist, otherwise, you'll feel VERY uncomfortable. But you should probably question your beliefs anyway.

Makes everything very simple and easy to understand. Lectures everyday from a powerpoint that you can print out from blackboard. Some in-class assignments which are pretty easy and help boost your grade. 2 papers which were kind of hard. Need to study for the tests. The class is easily passable. She is very nice and answers all questions you have.

i swear to you, i never went to class for the first month, and when i checked my progress report, i had 108%. no i'm not a science whiz whatsoever, that's just how EASY it is to pass her class. there's weekly ONLINE quizzes that are usually only 5 questions and are multiple choice. pass those every single week, and you're guaranteed a passing grade

She's not hard and she's not easy. She's bearable and fair. The book is useless in this class so don't buy it. I passed with a B.

As others have said, this class was not easy nor was it very hard. Her lectures are very clear, and office hours are helpful. She can develop a bit of an attitude toward the entire class if she finds a few kids she doesn't like. Overall an enjoyable class. I missed a few lectures but still pulled off an A

It would be helpful to have a printer so you could print out all her powerpoints for each chapter then take notes in class on your printouts. Don't miss her weekly online quizzes or the points add up. Going through her study guides for the midterm & final is extremely helpful. She's a great professor in my opinion. I highly recommend her!

Hard class, but she is very knowledgable and helpful. I don't think there was one question, she could not answer. If you attend class, do the weekly quizes, and study for the test, it is easy to get an A. If you are lazy... this probably is not your class.

Great teacher. Gives good lectures. 3 tests and final is mixed of entire course and last section taught. 2 papers (3 pg max). Lots of in-class assignments. Lot of points available in class. Her lectures are very informative and most of the information on the tests are based on the lecture. Could get away without the book.

Taught like an 8th grade teacher, used to be one. Counts quizzes and homework for a lot of points. don't miss class. keep up with reading and tests are easy.

I took the ONLINE class. It's not too hard, but it can get difficult if you tend to procrastinate a lot. Each week, there's usually one assignment, one quiz, and required participation on blackboard (I suggest writing at least 2 decent responses in one of the threads for full credit). She'll respond and give help if you email her or post on BB.

I took the online class, and it is alright. There is a lot of work that needs to be done every week. That being said, this might be easier than taking the actual class. She is very nice, always responds in within a day of e-mailing her, and she is always nice.

Online class was a lot more work than expected. Quiz, assignment, and discussion post due every week. Exam questions are similar to quiz, so keep record of that. She seems nice, but listening to the online lectures is horrible. She thinks she's funny and giggles to herself about weird things and goes into too much detail about nonsense.

Class is okay, Do not need textbook. This class is really difficult to get an A, but easy to get a B. Her tests are really tricky, but she gives extra credit. Take it if you want the usually, powerpoint lecture, key terms tests.

Great teacher. Her lectures are easy to listen to & understand. Class is not mandatory but you miss out on information not in the PP if you don't go. She's easy going & super nice. Tests were a little tricky, but if you ask for help when you get the study guide it helps a lot. Don't forget about the weekly quizzes!!

Attendance not mandatory since it's such a big class, however I suggest to go to class for powerpoint lectures for a better understanding. I didn't come to class for 2 classes in a row and came back confused. 2 midterms and 1 final(cumulative). Overall, I thought it was a pretty easy class since she provided study guides and test itself wasn't hard

Very helpful professor, took this class online and would recommend it, however it is very important that you don't procrastinate! The test are mediocre and some of the questions do come out of nowhere but if you read and go through her PP slides, you should be fine

Bio 101 online was a very easy 5th class. Take it if you need to get through a GE with little effort. Weekly quizzes and easy assignments, and a short paper. Tests were difficult but passable. I put maybe an hour a week in and got a B. Take this class online!!

Took the class in person. It is a lot of work for a 101 class, but at least professor is helpful during office hours. Overall I would try an alternative.

VERY HELPFUL. TAKE IT

So glad I took Bio101 online. It takes getting used to and there are a lot of assignments due for the week but overall it's easy and from someone who sucks at staying on top of online classes, I actually turned in every assignment. Definitely recommend taking Bio101 online if you hate biology. P.S I didn't watch the lecture videos and still passed

Not an easy A but if you do well on the 3 online exams and do all the hw you should have no problem getting an A. She was also very helpful in office hours, and was dedicated to the subject. Also she had online lectures which were helpful. She also gave very good feedback on assignments

She's a great professor, she knows what she's talking about and she speaks very clearly. She really wants to make sure the class understands. VERY helpful during office hours, even tells you some answers if you go before a test. Easy class if you pay attention, if not, good luck.

She knows what she's talking about and she answers questions in a way that we can understand. However, her one essay is graded very hard and some online homework as well. Just do the homework/classwork and VISIT office hours, especially before a test. It helps!!

I'm extremely bad at Biology. So this course saved me. If you want to get a good grade and actual learn something take this class online. You can work at your own pace. Also a book isn't really needed. There are 3 exams including final and an essay, but there all fairly easy since it's an online test.

This class was extremely helpful. Take it!! Online preferably. 3 test and 1 essay which are graded fairly easy. Turn it in homework is somewhat difficult but does not affect the grade as much.

a lot of work, quizes and reading but it all really helped me understand what was going on. tests are looong so answer them as knowledgeable and as fast as you can. the text book is actually interesting and easy to understand. print out slides before class, saves you from all the writing.. theres a lot of slides

Very helpful professor, but way too many assignments for an online class. Requires "SCORM" packages that are terrible.

Just try your best to do all the works and discussion and you should be fine.

She must grade differently for her 101 classes, because her 360 class was not as hard as all these reviews are saying about her 101 classes. A lot of busy work but that's most online classes.

I absolutely love Kris for this class. This is a class on how to be a good biology teacher, and she instructs us how to do so very well. 2 projects and one teaching presentation. LOTS of HW, which can be tedious at times. 3 exams including the final, none of which are too difficult. Tough grader! Super helpful if you have any questions! Take her!

She is an overall good teacher. The tests are pretty hard though and she gives a lot of homework! Be prepared to read and do work if you do you will pass pretty easily. She doesn't take attendance but there is an in class assignment every class.

She was a decent lecturer. but there was a lot of information covered and you really need to study on your own if you want to pass the class. There were 3 exams and 1 research paper, and many many homework assignments. Personally, I thought it was too hard to be a GE course. Just have to work for your grade. Study the in-class worksheets for tests.

You have to work for your grade!!! Read the textbook because she does not cover everything in class. Her test are tough!! Self taught class because she wont cover everything. Expect to do PrepU!!! 3 Exams, I paper, 12 HW assigments and in class group activities! I found this class very difficult. Too hard for a GE Class!

Have to work for your grade, a lot of prep and online work, attendance is optional but she gives classwork everyday for 10 points. don't go to class you get 0 classwork points and won't pass must read textbooks, lectures aren't detailed enough for the material tested on..

Took online. Assignments are clear/straight forward. Keep up with the reading, take good notes and you should be fine. Questions in the eBook help a lot. Take time to participate in discussions and read the paper submission requirements. I overlooked a requirement and didn't submit a log, which was my fault. Grade is based on your effort.

There are daily assignments in class that are easy to get full credit on (Professor will answer questions about & even check & tell you what you got wrong), as well as online quizzes & homework. Might seem tedious, but they really help your grade. If classes with only a midterm & final scare you, then take this class!

It will seem impossible to get a good grade until you get used to the way the class is. Advice: screenshot hw answers because it will help on the tests & beware of instructions because she will knock a lot points off. Assignments are due Friday. It took me an hour or more to complete a week's work. Not too bad. Pay attention to deadlines.

I personally loved her. Universities need real professors like her. Papers are usually about interesting topics. She gave hw that covered harder concepts and memorization stuff is on you. 3 tests but theres a study guide. Bio is universal so everything is on google & youtube. Take the time to teach yourself, youll realize how exciting science is.

The organization of this class was super clear and helpful. Had to read chapters and watch videos each week, and take quizzes and do writing assignments every two weeks. You have to do the work to pass-- reading many, many chapters/pages per week. Don't take this class if you don't like taking thorough notes.

I was in the web hybrid class, so I had online work as well as an in-person lecture once a week. The lecture wasn't mandatory, but it definitely helped with the week's material. Prof. Henderson was EXTREMELY helpful in anything you needed help with. The notes were a bit lengthy, but they made a difference in my performance. Very good explanations

Took the hybrid course: There's the online usual stuff, and then all of the in class work is group work. She's extremely organized and her Titanium page is so neat, it makes it easy to follow the content in the class. At times, it felt like a lot of work for a 101 class. For example, there's a pre-class quiz and a post-class quiz every week

I took her online course. Personally, I have never seen her face or lectures. She provides a free online textbook for everyone and we have weekly assignments and discussions on the forums. One writing assignment every 2 weeks. All deadlines are on Fridays. Best class if you don't like to attend class. Just read the textbook and meet deadlines.

I took her for online bio and she was as good as a professor can be for online. She has lecture outlines for you to fill out using the course online modules which I enjoyed! The material is presented clearly and the class is very manageable! A decent amount of homework only because its online but nothing crazy.

You need to read like a chapter a week on the topic u gonna be quizzed on. Scorms(like quizzes) can be easy or hard but u have unlimited time, you have 2 tries for it so make sure u right down your answer of what u got right to use on ur 2nd try. Ch. Quizzes are timed but copy & search will be ur bff. 4, 1-2 page writings. NO FINAL or MIDTERM!

1 discussion post, 2 Homeworks, 3 quizzes, 1 writing assmt each week. No final, free textbook, lot of readings. One of the best organized asynchronized online class. Respond to emails on time. Too much content for a summer class but very easy stuff from high school: cells, biosphere, etc.

SUPER easy UD GE compared to how I thought it would be (COMM major here). About 2 weekly quizzes and a semester long grp prjct which wasn't bad at all. For a bio class, it was very easy to complete. Also, the textbook is well written and easy to follow, plus there are short lecture videos that cover most of what you need to know. Highly recommend.

I don't understand all the negative reviews here; Professor Henderson was great. Her course was very organized, and despite some activities being time consuming, none of the work was actually difficult. She doesn't require any books or course materials, which is an added bonus.
