Good instructor for Bio. Lots of powerpoints and involves tedious note-taking. Textbook reading is essential to do well. Attendance is mandatory. Avoid disruptive talking in her class. She gives "extra" credit. May count against your grade if you don't do any! I got a B+ for this reason. Tests are okay if you study.

Great professor,is approachable and always willing to help. As long as you study, attend class, and take notes you should do fine

Loved the teahcer!! Class consisted of note taking from power points, extra credit Iclicker questions, and some in class group work. Reading the chapters is a must for her test! Tests are hard, but with good study prep you'll do fine! She's super helpful to!!! Ask questions and be willing to answer her questions!!

Great professor! Attending class is mandatory because of clicker question and notes. She is helpful and she is down to earth. Exams are easy as long as you study the class notes. I hate Biology, but she is the best bio teacher I've ever taken.

Okay, those who did not do well in this class is due to their own lack of responsibility and organizational skills.Yes,you do have to come to class and yes you have to take well written notes.It's up to you if you want a good grade. She's very organized and straight to the point on her lectures. Study the lectures and READ and you will do fine.

Understand that she expects you to read,what is the point in taking the class for an easy A if you do not attempt to understand. Do not expect to be spoon fed the answers. Her class is easy everything flows, just be sure to at least have an interest or develop one before you get lost in the beginning

I loved this professor! Her notes were a little fast, but as long as you didn't slack off, you'll keep up easy. She will answer any question you have and no she doesn't give study guides, but she will literally say, "Hey you should know this for the test!" Clicker questions are a bit difficult, but you can use your notes and your peers.

This class is challenging. Just study the lecture notes and the online homework that is assigned.

Hamilton was a great professor! Anatomy can be a difficult subject just because there is so much information, but she explains things well, and she is very helpful. Just be sure you go to class, and go to lab!

Great professor!! I was not looking forward to this class but she made this class simple. Her slideshows are straight to the point,she has good examples and is really nice. This class is what made me switch my major to bio.I would definitely recommend her. But to pass the class you will need to study, this isnt a class where you can just get by.

Dr. Hamilton's class was extremely interesting. If you showed early she would give hints and exam questions before class. I took her lab class also, which was helpful because she would explain any questions more in-depth during extra lab time and tell you more about what would be on the exam. Definitely would take again.

I'm so greatful for Dr Hamilton. One of the best science professors i've had so far. She made this subject very easy to follow of course you still had to study to ace your exams. She didn't wander off into grey areas in the middle of lecture and was always on key topics. I would highly recommend her if you're serious and want a good grade.

She is the nicest lab professor! So sweet never ever had a problem with her. She literally goes out of her way to help you in anyway possible.

Every week is a 10 point quiz all u have to do is study for 30 minutes w/in that lab manual & your fine. Lecture about 20 minutes long or less. & the rest is Lab that sometimes take up to 30 minutes. Would recommend. Go to every class & you will get an A with the quiz scores & lab homework that she helps you with. gives xtra credit from lab quizzes

One of the best professors in the biology department, found her very interesting, funny, and knowledgeable in the subjects taught for the course. This is college, study hard and go in for help, shes always willing to help her students!

Hamilton will try to cram 6-7 ch's into 1 "quiz" (exam), but all case studies are m.c. & she'll never try to trick you, but be as thorough as possible for those short answers! She is extremely nice (brings us food) & helpful during office hours too. She gives iClicker q's, news report, & outside activities for extra credit, so take advantage!

Hamilton's Ecology lab is EXTREMELY laid-back and classes usually last about 1-2 hours. There are approximately 7 labs, which 2 scientific papers will be based on, and individual group projects toward the end of the semester, but, Hamilton is NOT a harsh grader. Overall, an easy lab and easy A!

Dr. Hamilton has to be hands down the best professor on the CSU Stan campus. Her tests are almost all based off of the lectures. And if you pay attention during her lectures she gives hints on exactly what will be on the tests. Highly recommend taking her class.

Dr. Hamilton is one of the better teachers I've had. (Had her for lecture & lab) Her lectures are easy to follow and she is extremely caring and will go out of her way for you to understand. Her tests are a bit tricky but if you study the material, it's very possible to get an A. At the end of the semester she even brought her dog to lab. Lol

Dr. Hamilton is a chill professor, she tells you EXACTLY what will be on the exams, If you pay attention and take notes, its hard to fail this class.

Nice professor. Focuses mostly on lecture, and notes must cover slides and what she says verbally. No hw and no quizzes. Participation is key;especially for clicker questions

Dr Hamilton always puts funny puns and jokes into her lectures. Her notes aren't very organized or straight forward so I recommend re-writing your notes so you can go through the complex topics. I always knew the topics but didn't do well on exams. I recommend referring to the focal questions posted on blackboard and see her for extra help.

Dr Hamilton, is an awesome professor. Attend all lectures, take detailed notes and memorize them. Ask her for help. She is very helpful and wants her students to succeed. Best professor hands down!!! No this is not an easy A by any means, but I dont know any gen bio class prof that makes it that.

I had Professor Hamilton for Biology 1050 Lab. She is amazing at explaining concepts and knows how to work well with students. She is by far my favorite professor I have had. She is super personable and sweet. If you're taking her for a lab, there's a quiz at the beginning of every class based on the week before.

Took Hamilton for general vertebrate zool with lab. She is super sweet and caring. She gives you everything you need to know for lab in handouts. You have to put in the work to memorize a lot of taxonomic groupings and their CORRECT spelling. I suggest using a white board to write names over and over. She gives quizzes but tells you whats on them.

I love her, during tests, she would bring her dogs with her as an stress reliever for her students which I always thought was very sweet. She's very nice and and her explanations are very good. she goes based off the book a lot and, and yes, her test are hard unless you study a lot.

4 exams, 1 final. No homework or quizzes. Loved talking to her about anything, an absolute sweetheart! Loved her lectures but the wording of her exams always made them more difficult. If you talk to her and go to office hours, she will help you out! Does not post slides. Clickerparticipation points. Reading the book will help you study!

Lets get this strait; her lectures are amazing and all you need. However, one bad test can bar you from an A because each of 4 exams is worth about 16% of your grade after lab is considered. No homework, but there are points you will miss if you skip class. If you keep perfect notes from her lectures you can get an A, but not everyone is that smart

She cares so much

Honestly hand down best bio teacher I have ever had! Her exams are only based off her lectures. So if you don't go to class you'll miss a lot. Her lectures are easy to understand, and if you have any questions she is always happy to answer them. She is so nice and always happy, Best professor at Stan!

Dr. Hamilton is an engaging, friendly, interested, and approachable Professor who very admirably endured the COVID-19 adjustments necessitated by the pandemic. Dr. Hamilton offered captivating lectures, particularly PRIOR to the calamity resulting from the protocols and technological hurdles accompanying the diminutive yet potent Coronavirus.

First of all, her classes are hard. She proctors exams heavily. I made the mistake of slacking off and then cramming for tests and it didn't work because it's a lot of information to cram. I love this professor. She wants us to learn. She is compassionate and she cares about her students and their success, but as I said, her classes are hard.

So many mini quizzes, although they prepared us well for lab practicals. There were 3 lab exams, 3 lecture exams, and 1 cumulative final, all proctored via respondus. Answers were fill-in blanks and essays, no multiple-choice or matching, and spellings matter, even for the taxonomic names. Average for the exams were mostly below 70%.

Dr. Hamilton is incredibly caring! Her lectures can be intimidating, but there was absolutely nothing on the test that was not in the lectures. As long as you thoroughly listen to the lectures on VoiceThread (this is important - you can't just print the slides, she gives answers in the lecture), you'll be totally fine! Just show up and participate!

Professor Hamilton is charismatic and very helpful. Lecture material explains concepts clearly and descriptively. If you ever find yourself having more questions, consult the textbook, outside resources, or ask her personally in person or through E-mail. The class had a moderate-to-high level of difficulty and homework and quizzes were manageable.

The class was a bit difficult, extremely fast paced but Hamilton was a very kind professor, be sure to ask for questions or help when confused and attend class.
