Really nice! So cute!! It's almost hard to take her seriously because of the cuteness. Used neat ways to teach she compares covalent bonds to marriages in it for the lob haul, and hydrogen bonds as one night stands...really fun! Attendance is not mandatory cause she posts the slides on Web CT but she explains them which helps.

She is HOT. Biol 1441 is a weed out class so prepare to put effort into her class. She basically hands out test points in in-class projects, test corrections, and questions at the end of the lecture. She is also hot...so hot that she had to tell the class she had a boyfriend through a story...

This is a weed out class but the tests were far above the level of an intro level bio class. For example Exam 1 was taken to the dean of bio and he explained that this was not the level we should be tested at but he could not change it without a written complaint with signatures. The only good thing was there were great curves on the tests.

Anyone who doesn't make an A with her is simply lazy. There is literally nothing she keeps a secret about if it's planning to be on the test. This is a class you have to study for, and I don't get why people feel so surprised about that. It isn't a weed-out class, it's one of the few college-level classes at UTA, get over it.

Yes, yes those rumors you heard are true-- take her. Even though I dislike her as a person. She has this attitude. Whenever you ask a question in class, she'll reply:" wow really?" that translates to be" wow, really? I don't know how to answer you. Because I don't know much other than my slides!" But whatever, you still take her for a doable A.

Dr Frederick is an inspiration! She is a phenomenal teacher and does everything she can to help you. She is not tricky but tests to see if you understand complex material. If you aren't very good with memorization, like you need for any bio class, this class will be harder for you, but you can do it.

Great teacher! Firstly, when she talks about talks about saying the material out loud, she means explaining it to someone else. If you can explain it to someone else that shows that you understand it. Secondly, tests aren't tricky she just checks if you know the material. If you wanna seriously learn biology TAKE HER!!! It's worth the extra effort

Very fair professor. 3 midterms. 1 Final. Final Exam is the easiest of them all. Just study the review she gives you and you'll ace it! Make sure to attend class since she does give bonus pts from time to time. I would've gotten an A had I attended some of her bonus pts lecture, but oh well. A B isn't so bad in genetics. Good luck y'all. :D
