I strongly dislike her.

If you take her for lab you'll have a TA. They expect you to know what to do on the first day. TA wasn't very helpful and didn't explain anything. You basically have to figure it out on your own. Quizzes before and after lab. My advice is to look at your manual before lab. Hopefully you covered what you need to know in lecture, if not. Goodluck.

You're graded in groups so make sure everyone is participating. You have 2 quizzes each lab. You can't have your phones. If the TA catches you on it they will ask you to leave and your whole group will get a 0. Happened to someone in my class and she did not care that the other members didn't do anything. They all got a 0.

Lori doesnt do anything she just makes her TAs do everything and barely gives enough info to them to teach us. Group work is entirely required so you may get a bad group and she wont care.

Lori Rose is someone who, I strongly would not recommend. In her lab courses, she is a tough grader who expects you to know things above and beyond your control and things not even discussed. She thinks that assigning a group is how you learn, by teaching each other. She holds you over class for about 10 minutes and over explains everything

Do NOT take her for lab. She does not give the TAs any information to go off of so my class was confused and did not know what was going on half the time, she's a tough grader, and the tests were ridiculous. It says on the syllabus that you need the book The A Game but in reality you don't need it. Anyways, take anyone else BUT HER.

If you can DO NOT take her. She does not give any description to the students or TAs about the assignments. She is not accessible at all and is no help. She rarely answered any questions from me or my peers and when she did, she would say how she could not help us. She does not care about the students at all and does nothing to help them.

The lab isn't actually taught by Rose, it's a TA that teaches the class, Rose just gives the lab work to do. I swear she doesn't think that us students have a life & job outside of class let alone other classes. This class was VERY time consuming. Decide you want to skip a lab? HA you will end up so lost and confused.

Literally the worst professor ever this is my second time taking a lab that she was over and the TA's are amazing but she expects way too much for one lab. LEAST UNDERSTANDING & CARING professor at Sam. I still got an A in the course (C in the lab) but she made my semester so much harder especially during a pandemic.

Absolutely miserable and stressful. Rose's classes are entirely run by TAs. You're lucky if you get a good one, mine was awful. Rose cannot be bothered for any reason. She is rude and completely unhelpful. She will not treat you with respect or be understanding. She will not answer questions or assist you in any way. Avoid her, she is a nightmare.

She is absolutely awful. The lab work is excessive and the post lab quizzes are nearly impossible to pass. The TA was also no help as she acted as if she did not want to be there. Several people in my class tried to get in contact with her but they got nothing but snarky responses and redirection to other people. Avoid her if you can.

This woman is borderline crazy. There are 2 quizzes every week, and her exams are outrageous. One of my classmates was unsure of how to complete one of the assignments, so she emailed her with some questions. Mrs. Rose emailed her back saying that she needs to figure it out on her own and that it's not her job to answer everyone's questions.

She doesn't do anything the Lab assistants do. Hope that you get a good TA. I had the luxury of not getting a good one and she did not help us at all. No emails sent back to me, no real answers for me in person. I emailed Lori she basically told me to leave and talk to my TA about it. Sadly she' the lead coordinator for freshman BIOL labs so yikes.

I have never even seen this professor once. All she has done was send out emails acting like to does the teaching lol. She relies on her TA's to do everything. The class was extremely hard and was sooooo much work (and for what). I ended up dropping it so it wouldn't hurt my GPA.

Its sad, this woman is head of all labs. You will never be taught, only given papers and told to do them without lecture, its all up to you. Lori is VERY rude if you email directly to her. She doesnt care at all! If your looking to be in the Biology or science field, go to another school as she will never show her face. Waste of time and money.

Zuniga was her TA and she was as bad as her. Both Terrible people. Very careless and unnecessarily rude. Surprised she still has a job here. There both

I question if she even knew if she was the prof. of this class, the LA was the only person ever in lab and sending communicative emails. I never once saw or spoke with Prof. Rose. We took 3 quizzes per week over concepts completely unrelated to lab and lecture; if you had questions, good luck getting in contact with Prof. Rose. TERRIBLE PROFESSOR.

This professor is actually one of the most rude I've ever seen via e-mail. I think she just hates her students or hates teaching, either way she was rude for no real reason, and never appeared in class, used her TA to make up for her lack of any real teaching. Don't take her.

Mrs. Rose was the most discouraging and unmotivating professor I have ever had. She was EXTREMELY rude in her comments and never gave good feedback. She seems to not care about her students or their grades and she isn't afraid to show it. A lab is always stressful for me, but this lab made me want to pull my hair out. NEVER take her.

Worst. Lab. Ever. Take with someone else. Take with a TA. Simply don't take. 3-5 assignments every week for a SUPPLEMENTAL lab. Ridiculous. 44 graded assignments. 12 labs. 20-page labs. The instructor is rude and unhelpful. Open-ended quizzes. Almost no multiple choice. I learned 2 terms throughout the entire lab. Bc I was busy trying not to drown

I personally had a TA which was horrible, but the few interactions with Dr. Rose that I had she was so rude. For this class you defiantly have to read or you will be behind. There is a independent pre lab quiz, lab, then post lab quiz that you can do with your group members.

Changed my major because this professor was useless. Avoid zoology majors at this school. Just look at her rating and avoid. With the cost of college rising, I expect more from my professors. She FAILED

There are a couple projects that you have to do on your own time. One required to go outside and then write an experimental design and another required you to go in and water plants 3 times a week for 2 weeks. This course is all team work. You grade your team members but some cases you can be left picking up all their slack. Not very hard work tho

Probably the worst professor I have taken here. She's the lab coordinator for freshman so you're stuck with her. She never is actually in the labs so you're completely reliant on a TA. I had a decent TA who was helpful. BUY THE TEXTBOOK and READ IT. Prelabs- study the textbook. Postlabs- in class PowerPoints. Midterm and Final is a project- DO IT.

This professor is the most useless person that has ever walked the face of the planet. She can't be bothered to average the peer evaluation forms herself, so she makes the students do it, and deducts points if you do it incorrectly. Not only that, she is a total hag when it comes to her grades and her care is strictly for her paycheck. Disgusting.

She's the lab coordinator but you'll never see her. You'll get a TA, some are helpful.. some are not. Prelab quizzes every lab on your own- first half are passable, second half not really. Postlab quizzes are as a group. Study the lab manual and textbook before lab. Midterm/final 120 questions each. 100% open ended/free response. Final is practical

The lab was not difficult, but rather boring. Environmental science is an interesting subject but her labs are so dull. They cover subjects such as the water cycle, and pollination. She will make you go out of your way to make you photograph 10 insects participating in pollination as if it is easy to find anywhere.

Mrs. Rose does not teach the lab but a TA does. In my own experience, the communication between Mrs. Rose and her TAs is minimal, meaning most days my TA did not know jack about what we were supposed to be doing in class. If you get lucky and have a good TA that grades easy you will be good. Final is comprehensive.

Our lab section got stuck with an unintelligent and abusive TA and Rose only belittled anyone who tried to approach her about it. I have a 97 in the lecture, yet I'm pretty much failing the lab. Her lab has absolutely drained all my passion and love for biology. Please just take bio online at Lone Star or something, it's not worth it here.

She a very, very terrible professor and I recommend future Biology majors to get your biology course from anothet school, as this professor mangaes all freshman and sophmore Labs. Grading was inconsistent, teacher asistants were purposely biased and ignored the grading rubic for all items in Lab. I almost died from a stress induced heart attack.

You're with the TA the entire semester and will rarely see Ms.Rose. Your grade is all up to the TA, so pray that you get a decent one. Mine was rude, unhelpful, and made you feel dumb. Always got "idk" or "figure it out" as an answer. Took loads of students to email the department for them to see a problem. My group members made this lab tolerable.

The lab is harder than the lecture and is MISERABLE. It is for non-science majors, yet it is purposefully made to make you do poorly. The pre-lab quizzes are inaccurate compared to the manual, and when you point this out, Mrs. Rose will not care, and she can't comprehend emails. They need to find a new lab coordinator.

This is not a good lab. This lab section will eat more time out of your day than anything else you might be taking, and the overall course can be described as poorly designed, at best. Your TAs will not know the material, so don't bother asking questions. Google is your friend for this course, and I strongly advise focusing on this class.

There was a pre lab quiz every lab. we did more work then we needed to do. Lab took up more time than any other class. i was lucky to have an amazing TA who knew what they were doing but she just went off of what she was give. L.ori rose just runs the labs she doesn't actually teach them she just assigns A LOT of work. you will rarely see her.

This class is awful. She manages 70 + labs and has TA's, so she is never there & hard to reach if needed. Hard pre- labs. Your grade is dependant on your group mates, so if you have horrible group mates, good luck passing!!

Her BIOL 1406 labs are taught by TA's so you rarely see the professor. If you have a good TA the lab will be more manageable but if not it can be tough. There is a group project that count toward most of your grade and your participation in it is important so you should show up.

Only saw her once all semester, and she just sat in the room next to us not even introducing herself. Instructions were never clear and caused everyone to ask the TA several questions, most of which they did not have the answer to. Some lowest grades get dropped, just try your best and cite your sources and you should be okay.

Your grade will depend on who you have for a TA, you will rarely see Ms. Rose. The TA I had was Samira Alam If you know she is the TA, DO NOT TAKE HER. She will not help when you ask questions, she speaks so softly, and she will not help with any microscope stuff or help with lab projects. She is terrible, do not take her if you can. I regret it

Unfortunately this professor is the only person running Biology 1407 labs, although her TA's are the ones that instruct the class. She believes her TA's do no wrong. If you ever have concerns about your grades, she will not listen to your claim and will automatically side with the TA. She does not care about the students, and is very strict.

Was apart of the LAB portion. GA was absoloutly horrible. LAB lacked any sort of structure. Had inconsistant information on assignments. Heard I don't know many times from the GA about things within the class.

TA is terrible. period.

If you can avoid taking Rose's lab, please do so. She is not understanding at all. So extremely condescending and will treat you like a five year old. Take another lab class. Any other professor would be more tolerable than Lori. She would not allow me to take the midterm exam because I was not wearing pants. (There is a STRICT dress code.)

I should've listened to the bad reviews before taking her. She does not care about how you do in this course. She is condescending and belittling. I genuinely believe it must be impossible to get an A in this class. If you are forced to take her, I wish you the best of luck!

This review is not about Lori, I literally saw her once. I don't think there are good TAs under Lori. I had Samira Alam and dreaded lab. I thought Alam was just strict, but as time went on I think she hates her job. She wanted to give my group a zero because we misunderstood her question and she did not want to explain anything. Accent is thick too

Unprofessional and rude

Lori rose is terrible, she's extremely condescending and talks to her students as if they're elementary kids. I had problems with her unprofessional TA's and went to her seeking clarity and she completely invalidated everything I said and continued to back her TA's. BIO is already hard, Her and her TA's do nothing to support you.

The department head doesn't teach—TAs do, and none seem great. There are pre- and post-lab quizzes, requiring textbook reading. My TA rushed us and graded harshly. Miss Rose was unhelpful and condescending. I did well, but most struggled—wouldn't take it again.

The first two labs I took were fine. However, this past semester I ended up dropping. She documented me for academic dishonesty because of my citations. Not even that they were done incorrectly, but because they were in the wrong spot on the paper. Then she wouldn't let me appeal or give me a proper explanation.

Both teacher and TA are terrible, make things difficult on purpose for no reason and instead of helping they just get irritated. The TA makes it worse because all she does is act smart with you and gets surprised when no one understands or cares to understand. She makes it hard on everybody more than it has to and makes everyone's time difficult.

I had a terrible TA and could only understand 5% of what she said, so if you have Ms. Shiyanbade, be ready to read on your own. Professor Rose responded to my email a week after I sent it.

I mostly have to speak on the TA's for this though I realize the professor is who I'm really grading here. The amount of papers, assignments, and unrealistic expectations they put on us was absurd. They were VERY picky when grading our work. If you miss a class, be ready for like 5 zero's. There were too many assignments. She expects perfection.

This class really depends on the TA you get. I never saw Rose once, and she was always passive-aggressive in her announcements. The mid-term sucks you will want to end it, finding 10 pollinators in spring semester was not for the weak. Also if your group sucked (like mine) you better start praying to a higher power. I've gotten closer to god.

I never saw my professor. I like science, especially labs, but my TA made me hate it. I do not recommend taking a lab on Friday's as it was given less advantages than other labs throughout the week. Work is strict to guidelines; you learn cool equipment but that's as much you'll get. If your TA or group members aren't good for you, change labs.
