This class would be great for someone who is not very familiar with biology. She explains everything in detail. I enjoyed her class very much.

She never gives an answer to the question you ask. She always gives some other answer that doesn't apply to your question. and her phrase "Did you get it?" is very redundant.
I think she is a great teacher. I learned so much in her class it is pathetic. I would take another class with her without even thinking about it. I do recommend her for Biology.
She is a very tough instructor. Not very helpful and wouldn't give a clue for the test. She makes the class more difficult.
She's literally bery hard to understand, with a very thick accent. She's nice and did try to help me with the material but the help she gives doesnt seem to fit the questions that were given. Buy a "biology-for-dummies" supplemetal book.
An excellent teacher. Cares about her students AND "raises the bar" of academic standards. Had to work, but got the A.
The class is a little difficult and needs a lot of studying time. She makes up her own exams and they are pretty much from the notes and practice sheets. She is willing to help, but won't give any answers. Lectures are very long.
I think she is a great instructor, she is very thorough and I have learned alot.
Pretty Interesting class. She went over material until it was clear. I recommend her for General Biology I....She is quite helpful if you have question but you need to ask her and tell her to explain it more if you dont understand...She is nice...I RECOMMEND her.....
Dr. Nimri does have a thick accent, so sometimes it is tough to understand her. she is a very knowledgeable, sweet lady who will really try to help you succeed if you do well.
She is a helpful professor if you listen to her,and she tries really hard to cover the materials in the book.
She is a very smart and nice teacher. She was always available when I needed help. She will explain things clear, and she is really organized. Study her notes,do the quiz and hw and you will do fine.
She is awesome!Don't worry about the accent,she enunciates the material very clearly and speaks perfect english! She cares a lot about her students success.This is a hard class,if your not serious about being in college & having to study hard,she will know it .Respect her and she will respect you!
Very difficult to sink in what is being said. Also puts you to sleep easily, at times half the class would be dozing off during the 3 hour lectures.
She makes very difficult subject matter easier to understand. Very smart teacher,but explains in simple terms.Definitly recommend. Go to every class. Difficult if you miss lectures.
You will get used to her accent! I couldn't understand her for a wk but I barely noticed by the end of the semester. She is VERY thourough and I found that just by really paying attention in class i pulled a high A out of the class. She is an excellent teacher. I have retained 90% of what was taught. Great for Biology.
Because of her inability to take time to explain and answer your q's w/out making you feel stupid, she made the class very hard. It is difficult to understand her and she gets frustrated very easy. I am now held back and have to retake the class.
I took her for the summer term, and she printed out all the notes for the entire class. to take notes all you had to do was underline/highlight/write in margin, and to study all you had to do was glance over the highlighted regions in the notes. the tests were very easily worded, and you could determine 2 false answers right off the bat.
This teacher is VERY moody! She gets upset at the drop of a pin and takes problems with lab equiptment out on her students. Watch out for her on the days that she doesnt take her estrogen medications. She can be a ****.
nice teacher, doesnt speak english that clearly, but she gets her point across, tries to work with the students, overall pretty easy.
I took this class over summer and she gave us all the material we needed, including notes. Pay attention to class discussions, she gets angry easily if you don't know something because you weren't paying attention. I studied like crazy and this class was difficult for me.
She is quite unclear when speaking, and questions in class are usually not clearly, if at all, answered.
Im currently in her class and if you read the notes and study the homework sheets and use the disk, you'll do fine. She is willing to work with you and very kind. Just be considerate, study hard and take it serious. She'll work with you as long as you put the effort.
She is the epitome of a GREAT teacher. Extremely helpful, she wants you to pass the class and get an A. She makes the tests based around her lectures and notes which does make the tests easier. She structures the tests to be split in half so you won't have 4 or 5 chapters on one, as other teachers do. Overall, one of the BEST teachers I've ever had
She is a wonderful teacher - She wants her students to understand the material and is very willing to help. She speaks very clearly, even though a slight accent. Her tests are easy if you study hard. The class is not easy, but if you study, it's an easy A. She is also very nice and polite and concerned whether her students are grasping the material
She is a very thorough teacher who gives great examples in everyday terms to help you understand. Prints out key notes and practice HW sheets. Very helpful and will answer all questions. Made biology more fun with her antidotes. straightforward tests. Have to study for an A-but guys this is college, what did you expect from a course this level fo
Very good teacher. Fairly easy exams. Cares if you pass or not. I took her over summer A and passed w/ a B. Definitely would take her again. Too bad she doesn't teach Anat. & Phys. I.
She is wonderful! English isn't her first language so her lectures are slow and clear enough to easily follow along.
Difficult, takes her bad mood out on students especially in lab. Pretty good teacher but doesn't always explain things things well. Not very willing to help students that don't understand.
i love this teacher! i wish that she taught a&p as well as micro. she is very helpful and really cares about her students. Her accent is something to get use to at first, but she is very good at explaining things. She gives review sheets for both lecture tests and lab quizes/practicals. i definately recommend her!
great teacher! she gives great examples that relate to everyday life. i would take another class with her if she offered it.
Very good teacher! Very helpful. She will explain things until everyone understands. I would recommend her.
CANT UNDERSTAND HER... SHE GETS MAD WHEN YOU ASK QUESTIONS... JUST DONT TAKE HER!
Good teacher. Will take the time to make sure you understand. Study all handouts and you'll be fine. Accent takes a little getting use to.
she was a little hard to understand because of her accent but she did try to use analogies to make the lessons easier to remember. She handed out packets that had the power points but most of the questions on the tests were not on the handouts. must use book to do well on tests and she doesnt allow make up tests. good attendence will also help
She was wonderful, this class is no joke though you will have to study but she really cares and is there to help. Love her accent!!!!
offers great examples - and helps until you understand.
I will not say this was an easy class at all. Sometimes I did all nighters studying for her tests, but the test come right from the chapters in the book! Also she gives the notes for the chapters which are very helpful! She gives many examples and trys her hardest to be very clear with the material. I wish she would teach bio 2!!
She is awesome. If you care about your grade, she goes out of her way to explain the material. She has an accent but that doesn't deter from listening. I would definitely take her again!!
By far the best professor I've ever had. She is difficult, but if you pay attention to the powerpoint slides and study you'll be fine. She doesn't like smart-***es. If you are one, don't be...she won't help you out. Don't ask a lot of questions, it does frustrate her in lecture, ask after class. Be nice to her, she will be more helpful to you.
This teacher has the worst style of teaching that I have ever seen. Our class had to learn the whole book on our own because she suxs. I would not take her ever.
She was AWESOME! There's a lot of material that's covered, but if you study her notes then you'll get an A. Second time taking Bio. and I learned SOO much from her. Highly recommended!
Excellent professor,tests are extremely easy, if you study of course.Explains all material perfectly and in the simplest of terms so you can understand.I would definitely recommend her.
Such a sweet lady, very helpful and tries to keep the class interested when lecturing. The tests were fairly easy, and she really tries to make sure you understand the labs. You still have to study, but you can pass. Take her!
Teachers can make or break a class, Mrs. Nimri made a class. She is a wonderful teacher, who cares a lot about her students. She explains things very well, and simplifies things. She wants everyone to do well, and tries very hard to make sure that all students understand the material. I am taking A&P with her.
Mrs. Nimri is a great teacher. Bio is hard subject, but she goes out of her way to make sure students understand. If you study the printouts and do all the extra credit that is offered, you will do fine!!
OMG!!!She was an awsome teacher. She explains everything, but her tests are not easy. You have to study. Taking her again for A&P.
ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP, TRYS TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND, MAKE SURE YOU STUDY
If you want to sit and have someone read a deptmental power-point show to you, this b it! Dull, boring, tedious, unimaginative, not even her own work! Powerpoint came with book. What happend to critical thinking or teaching?
fantastic teacher. Hard to get through her accent when beginning but she tries very hard. gives goofy examples but they work. study the book and ask her any questions you have. she's great
Great prof., very nice and helpful. Teaches from powerpoints, but takes the time to show you all parts on lab models. Gives lab lists - you know exactly what's on the tests. Willing to spend extra time in the lab with you. Very nice, would have loved to take A&P 2 with her as well, but she doesn't teach it.
LOVE HER!!!! She always test straight from her power points and doesn't try and trick you. Uses funny examples to help you remember and is flexibile if an emergency happens. Def take her.
She is a great teacher. Explains everything in detail. Strives to make sure you understand, and if you dont will take the time after class to help. I made a C in her class, but had I studied I could've gotten a better grade.
Prof. Nimri is very available and has an extensive science background, not necessarily in this area, but I feel that she makes up for that by her enthusiasm for the topic. She puts a lot of effort into making the class interesting. Review her power points and study hard to earn an "A".
Mrs.Nimri is just such an amazing teacher. She really cares for students and wants them to learn. If you study, you will pass the class...like she says it's like learning another language, so just practice! I took her for bio and a&p 1 and got a B in both, I wish she taught a&p 2 so I can take her again! I recommend taking her to everyone!
She is the best teacher for this subject. The material is hard, and you do have to study for class, she will go over if something is not clear to all students. We loved her class and her good sense of humor. Thanks Dr. Nimri!!
Not only a great teacher, but one of good character. She cares about her students understanding the subject. You will get out of the class what you, yourself, puts into it. I'm taking A&P now and am very thankful for the previous class I took with her. Did I mention it was a summer class? Tough, but thorough!
She is amazing. i was scared half to death to take Bio because i barely took any science in high school and never tried. I got an easy A in this class. she wants you to do good. and she gives you everything you need to suceed. you should use mastering bio. shes a must take. im taking her for a&p1.
This teacher is a great person and she does everything she can to help you succeed. If you put in the effort, she will notice and she'll reward you. I can't say enough good about her. Read the chapters, review the notes, pay attention in class and ask questions, and definitely do mastering biology and you will get a well earned A!
Prof. Nimri is an excellent teacher and is always willing to held you understand the material. Make sure you read the book, her notes, and do mastering biology. she gives extra credit when she sees her students try, so dont slack off. taking her for a&p one. I earned an A in bio but i studied about 15 hours per week.
Not a simple class, very complex. But the teacher is excellent. She will go out of her way to help you. Study, Study, Study!!!
Biology is a tough subject, there is a lot of material to learn but with a helpful teacher like Nimri, she thoroughly goes over the powerpoint notes and ALWAYS makes time for her students if they are having trouble with a subject.
Great teacher! Really explains everything clearly and makes it interesting with goofy stories. Her tests are tough but just study whats in your book and her powerpoints! This isn't an easy class but she does her part. Wished she taught a&p 2.
This is the best teacher I've had at SSC. I also took her for BSC1010 and that class was great as well. She clearly explains what is expected and she's always willing to help if you don't understand the material. Not an easy A, you definitely need to study, but it's totally worth it. Wish she taught more courses.
Very hard class and you won't be able to just slide by.
Gives extra credit homework assignments. She uses questions from the extra credit on the exam a lot, so their pretty much study guides that give you extra credit. Don't buy the book in my opinion, didn't buy it and most people didn't open it.
She is super funny. Very docile, not too strict. Bio in itself is a hard class, and she is said to be the easiest teacher. Gives extra credit points for chapter questions. 10 points for attendance. Goes over EVERYTHING multiple times, she really wants her students to grasp the work.
One of the better prof. she explains in detail, uses life experiences to help you remember. Sweet woman.. great teacher.
Wonderful Professor! She expects her students to work hard but she is always happy to help if there is anything you don't understand. She is clear about what she expects and explains the material very well. Her tests are challenging but fair and certainly doable with studying. I took her for Bio 1 and I am taking her again for A&P1. Love her!
She is ok, lectures directly from the powerpoint.
She is ok, lectures directly from the powerpoint which I found not was not very helpful.
Gen Bio 1 is a hard class in general. So much material which means you have to study every day. She is so sweet and really takes her time when lecturing and reviewing labs.
Nimri is an amazing professor! I have had trouble in my sciences and she has made this class so enjoyable for me! She explains everything in such detail and gives you tons of analogies for remembering info for lab purposes and the exams. If you study what she tells you, you will be fine. She is such a sweet person! love her. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
She is a wonderful teacher. Loved her class.
Dr.Nimri is an amazing professor, the best professor I've had so far. She is very passionate about teaching and helping students learn and is always willing to help. She has extra open lab days so you can prepare for the practicals. Take her and like every anatomy class be ready to study.
biology is not an easy class. it requires a lot of attention but nimri is THE BEST professor for the class. I was terrified and didn't expect to get a good grade. she lets you drop 2 lowest scores and her tests are STRAIGHT from her powerpoints. TAKE HER
Dr. Nimri is a great professor! She uses tons of analogies to make sure you understand the material. She really cares about her students, and was genuinely disappointed when we would do bad on a test. She would then ask what she could do differently to help us understand. Awesome professor, I recommend her.
This professor does not know how to teach, she only reads her powerpoints. She used every minute of class and went over. Her lab and written exams were very hard and her reviews were useless as they didn't narrow down the most important test material. She says you must know everything! I did good by reading the textbook, not from her. Dry & boring!
Dr.Nimri is an amazing professor! I took Bio I and A&P I with her I am very glad I did. Bio I is not easy class but if you attend class & pay attention and simply DO the HW sincerely you will be well prepared for tests. Her ppts are excellent BUT for Bio I you need to read the chapter before class. For A&P I the ppts are more useful.
Dr.Nimri is the sweetest professor ever. She really wants you to learn and understand. She doesn't mind going the extra mile to help. Biology is a hard class! You have to be willing to dedicate a lot of time out of the classroom. I never thought I could get an A, and I did. She's straight forward and awesome at explaining. Take Her!
Dr. Nimri is an AMAZING teacher! She loves science, and is very knowledgeable. You MUST earn your grade, however. She has made Biology 1 my favorite class. I am in her A&P 1 class for fall 2014. If you want to learn biological science really well, take her class, and study, I assure you success!!
Most amazing professor at SCC. Period. I will take her for A&P 1 for fall 2014. If you want to learn and get a good grade, take her class, and study. SHE DOES GO ABOVE AND BEYOND TO HELP HER STUDENTS ACHIEVE SUCCESS.
Dr Nimiri is an awesome professor. Biology is not an easy subject and you will have to study, but she makes the it easy and gives cooky little idioms to help you remember. If you put in the work and do all the homework, you can easily get an A. I will gladly take her again.
She is the best biology teacher ever, even thought I struggled to maintain a decent grade in her class she is super helpful and will make sure you understand the subject
Dr. Nimri is the kindest teacher I have ever had. She truly cares about her student's success and is willing to work with you every step of the way. She spells out everything she expects of you in the syllabus and constantly updates grades. She posts her ppts and other resources online for you to review. Lectures were interesting and thorough.
To start I found her lectures very boring, and uninteresting, she basically just reads through the power points she has prepared and the material can be very dry. But you can tell that she is very passionate about her students and their learning. Definitly one of the hardest classes I have taken so far. Her lecture tests are very hard with no curve
A&P I is a much harder class than Gen Bio. I took Dr. Nimri for both and found her biology class to be much more interesting and easy to follow. She reads off the ppts and goes over everything once. Grades are based mostly on tests and lab practicals. She is always more than willing to help if you need it, though.
Love her! Took her for Gen Bio and AP1. She doesn't teach AP2, otherwise I would take her for that too. She is not an easy A. You definitely have to work for it, but it's doable if you make the effort! Dr. Nimri is very knowledgeable and knows her stuff. She really cares about her students and takes it personally if they do not do well.
Biology was a very tough subject for me, there is a lot of extra credit offered, & she is always willing to help, take advantage of her office hours, attend all mock lab practicals, and make a friend, and start a study group. QuizExam questions come from power points, mastering biology, & textbook. Great Prof. taking her this semester for A&P 1
She is strict (counts you absent if you leave even 5 minutes early unless for a good reason) and will withdraw OR fail you if you have 3 absences. As a teacher, she leaves a lot to be desired however she did get across what you will need to know for exams. She also offers EC in the form of disease questions on exams. I rate her 35 stars.
Very sweet lady who really cares about how well her students learn and perform. She uses a lot of analogies and applies stories. She offers some extra credit, and homework is easy but long. You have to study, no way around that; but if you do an A is very doable. Accent is a little tough. She doesn't teach AP2. Dr. Nimri is an excellent professor.
Dr. Nimri is a professor that doesn't cut slack for students who don't try. She knows what she is teaching and is very helpful when you are stuck. If you do the homework she assigns you for each upcoming test you will pass the tests. This class is a hard class so not reading the material, not doing the homework, etc you won't pass.
Dr. Nimri is a wonderful teacher. She is extremely qualified and passionate about biology. I took her for the Spring semester and honestly she was one of the best professors I have ever had! Dr. Nimri not only has passion for Biology but also really loves the art of teaching. I say "art of teaching" because she uses multiple techniques etc.
DR. Nimri is a great professor. Biology is NOT and easy subject, you have to work for your grade. Do not skip class and study study study the power points
any anatomy class is tough but she tries to make it as easy as possible for her students with keeping the level of difficulty. if you don't understand something, ask and she will help clarify. 4 exams, 3 practical and we had 2 quizzes in there this semester. Super sweet lady and would definitely take her again if she taught A&P 2
She's is nice but she do not know how to properly interact with people. she can be very rude at time. If you are late for just a 5 mins she will start taking points off from your attendance. She will tell you that you can use your electronics but go back and tell you that they are not allowed. Her test can be all over the place. DON'T TAKE HER!!!
Dr. Nimri has been awesome all semester. If you're taking this class, it's most likely because you're actually going to use this material in whatever field you choose, so she's very specific and helps you understand entire concepts. If you pay attention, she repeats the main test topics throughout lectures so studying isn't bad if you just listen
She makes the class easy but she is very hard on attendance. She wasn't good at time management.. class often ran up to 5 minutes over time and the class felt rushed. I wouldn't call her a bad teacher but personally would not take her again.
I took this class with Professor Nimri and found it very difficult. I studied my notes form the lecture and looked over all the worksheets we did in class. The lectures are super long and you have lots of quizzes. I recommend doing practice activities on the mastering biology she assigns. People who passed the class said that helped a lot.
Nimri cares very much about her students and wants them to do well. That being said, you have to meet her halfway. A lot of students that complained about her didn't show up for class and admitted they rarely study. This is not easy material, but Nimri does a great job teaching. Extra credit available on exams.
Encourages you to ask questions and when you do she is very rude with answering them. Goes over way to much information most of what you don't need to know for the exams. Runs out of time in class for lectures.
Very sarcastic, which i like and shes really passionate about teaching. The lectures last the entire class period which can be difficult to sit through but she really goes through everything in detail. Loved her creative analogies and the repition because it really helped me understand the topics. Would take her again!
I read all the reviews and I think these two comments are TRUE! "If you want to sit and have someone read a departmental power-point show to you, this it! Dull, boring, tedious, unimaginative, not even her own work! Powerpoint came with the book. What happened to critical thinking or teaching" and "Hard to get through her accent" DONT TAKE!
Professor Nimri cares about her students and wants everyone to do well in the class. She gets upset if she sees most students struggling to pass the tests or understand the material and feels it is her fault. She is very trusting or was until a student in my class was cheating on the lab practical scrolling through pictures on her phone.
I was so scared to take AP1 but i got by with an 84!! Nimri is an excellent teacher. As long as you pay attention and study her outlines. Lets you take quizzes in groups! I took her for a crash course and was surprised i came out with such a good grade!
Its miss leading when you meet her but i assure you do not take her classes. I didn't signup for a spelling B. I studied my butt off and missed testing points due to spelling. this is flawed and I wouldn't had taken her class If i knew what I was getting into. There are better teaches. Save the money and heartache.
This class is extremely textbook heavy. As long as you read the textbook as recommended and pay attention to the PowerPoint lectures, youll do fine.
