The class was better than I thought it would be. The tests aren't that hard and she goes over what's going to be important during the slideshows. It can be boring sometimes (she likes to talk about lizards) but she makes it funny when she can. I'd have her again.

Professor Adams makes Biology less intimidating for non-biology majors. She bases a lot of the grade on assignments to make up for those who don't test well. Tests aren't bad as long as you really knows key terms and concepts. As a person who hates science, I have actually enjoyed this class and recommend it to people who just want the GE credit.

She is a wonderful professor. The tests were pretty hard, and assignments try to help your grade out, but 70% of your grade is the tests. She explains everything well, but the tests are still difficult.

The great thing about this class is that all of the test questions come from the lectures, and you don't need to waste time reading the overly complicated book. Study the lecture notes a lot and you'll do great on the tests.

The professor does a good job making class interesting and entertaining. Don't bother with the textbook, she covers all test material during lecture. For tests make sure you know key terms.

Best option out there for bio 100. Adams makes biology very approachable and will always meet with you to clarify any difficult concepts. She tells you in class particular concepts that are going to be on the test as she's going over them. Really not a difficult class. Only about 6 good easy assignments. And she's funny. Totally recommend her!

Great teacher great class. Final was super easy! Most tests are really straightforward. She highlights key things that are going to be on the test. She's really helpful and has great class discussions. Assignments were really not difficult and there weren't very many of them. All around awesome class and easy to get an A. Just do the assignments.

She is a fun teacher. She keeps class interesting and the assignments don't take up too much time and aren't hard. Tests are a combination of lecture and textbook info. There's a fun project at the end of the semester and there was going to be a final but she CANCELED THE FINAL!!! Great teacher.

I dont know what everyone else is talking about. Pro Adams is an incredible teacher. Never once did I come close to falling asleep in class ( a rare feat) and her lectures are very discussion based, even for large classes. The tests were a bit hard but all the info is on the slides and in the book. AND THERE IS NO FINAL! at least for now.

I thought that this was such an easy class! Everything she discussed in class was on the test. So if you take good notes you should be set. Also if you go through the book and look over what she talked about in class it has some more in depth things in the book that would be on the test.

Marci is a great professor! Take her class. She is fun and smart. She was very generous to our class. The tests were a little hard but all of the questions are found in the book and in her lectures.

Marci was a good professor. Sometimes tests were a little hard, but questions were always answered either in the book or in lecture.

I couldn't stand this class because she wants to brainwash everyone to believe evolution, which is completely against what the Gospel teaches. But she presents the material clearly in class. The tests are hard if you don't study. It was a fairly easy class because of all the assignments and it's easy to get an A on the final project. Pretty easy A.

Marci is such a great professor! I enjoyed going to class. She just went over the stuff covered in the textbook, so I didn't read the textbook unless I had questions. Marci always answered questions when people had them. She is a bit heavy-handed about evolution, but other than that, it was great. We also had a final project instead of a test!

Marci is a great professor! She teaches the concepts well and will work with students to help them get the grade they deserve. The tests aren't too bad and you'll have no problem at all if you go to the study help sessions from the TAs before the tests. I would recommend this class to anyone taking biology.

Marci is a great professor who loves what she does. The class seemed easy with few assignments/labs. She offered extra credit to boost grades, even though we only had 3 exams, and no final (we instead created a creature from Middle Earth). My only complaint is that she writes the tests a day or two before it opens, so I never knew what to study.

Marci is a great teacher who has a passion for the subject. The course moves pretty quickly and you need to make sure you study and know your material for the test which are very tricky. The assignments are graded lightly and the final project is simple and fun. Just make sure you do as much as you can to study for the tests which can be hard.

Marci is the best BIO teacher ever. Go to class to take notes, because the notes are on the tests. SHe grades harsh but its easy material to begin with. Trust her she knows what she is talking about. IMMA MISS HER!

I hated it at the beginning, but it turned out all right. The class is easy, she doesn't give any homework. There was no point in reading the textbook because the text book when very in depth and we didn't. She doesn't have a final, instead she has a project.

She is very willing to help with projects and assignments as well as go over grades. She tries to give students an opportunity to interact and to learn rather than give a boring lecture. Definitely a teacher that is great and I have enjoyed here at BYU.

Great, funny teacher. Makes biology, a otherwise boring subject, interesting. Tests are hard but the TA's give reviews. Study the reviews and you'll do great. Plenty of assignments to help bring up your test grade. Final exam is replaced with a final project where you get to make a creature from Lord of The Rings. Recommended! Gave us extra credit!

It wasn't until I engaged myself in the course material and e-mailed Marci frequently about questionscomments I had that this course really became interesting. Marci is clearly passionate about the subject, and does a good job at getting students to think opposite to what they're comfortable with. DON'T BUY THE TEXTBOOK! Pay attention to lectures!

She is a fantastic teacher. Always willing to help and asks if anyone has questions. Has a laid back feel. Tests in the beginning of the semester then you work on the final for half the semester. The final was a group project that was fun. yep a FUN final. just pick good partners who will do their part. attendance isn't mandatory, but it helps lots

Don't listen to the people saying that Marci is "super hard". I was nervous to take it bc of the ratings here, turns out she's a GREAT teacher, very straightforward, I don't even like biology but I'm never bored, and she's funny. Honestly it's a very easy A. Don't buy the text book. Plus she's got a feminist flare, which is always a plus :)

Marci is a great person but I found the class structure to be lacking. There are 3 tests (no comprehensive final) & a group project which determine the bulk of your grade. Tests difficult because the lectures differ from textbook dramatically in depth. Textbook HELPS, but not necessary by any means. Lots of random, pointless busy work assignments.

Marci is awesome. She is the best at giving lectures for people who don't care too much about biology and are taking it for requirements. Marci's lectures are easy to follow and she makes them entertaining. She connects dots and makes it all make sense. Also group project instead of final, which is pretty great. Take her class!

She's pretty good at what she does. She understands that she's teaching a GE class, and tries to make it applicable to those who aren't doing Bio. There is a final project instead of a final test. If you like Lord of the Rings you'll love it.

The tests definitely threw me off guard. Make sure you study for them EXTREMELY well by looking over lecture notes and her power points. The final project was fun but don't expect it to boost your grade if you struggled on tests. Easy assignments and fun lectures. I respect her as a person and she took time to learn about all 200ish of us.

Marci is awesome! She gave interesting lectures and engaged the class in discussions about controversial biological topics, all stuff we need to know as the voting public. The final was a group project--not too bad. The tests aren't bad as long as you study the material. I loved Marci! This is the professor to take BIO100 from!!!

Marci is the best! Her lectures cover the basics, and the readings go more in depth. The tests are a little difficult, but definitely doable if you go to class, do the readings, and study. TA reviews are helpful as well. The last couple weeks are a breeze, there's a big group project, but as long as you get in a good group it's not too bad.

The best part about this class is that there is no final, only a group project that is easy and fun! Lectures can be kind of long, but she tried to make them fun. Overall a very great and passionate teacher. Made me interested in Biology because she always applied everything to the real world.

I learned a lot from this class. Prof. Adams had great lectures and it was enjoyable to be in despite my serve dislike of the subject. The tests were hard but going to the TA reviews helped a lot. The Bio100 lab was also a great resource. Just make sure you get a good group for the project at the end of the semester.

Professor Adams is the best Bio100 teacher in teh world. She is SUPER passionate about the subject, but can explain it in layman's terms. She comes to class in Jeans and a t shirt, and doesn't make any fuss about anything. She's bold as well, but cares about getting to know everyone. Take Adams over anyone else!

Great sense of humor, handles lecture classes pretty well, likes to hear comments from everyone.

Bought the textbook but you really don't need to read it if you pay attention during the lecture.

Pretty tough class, especially the exams. However, her lecture slideshows are exactly what you need to do well. Everything else in class is practically graded based on participation. She is very funny and loves what she teaches. She loves making you apply what you learn rather than just know the terms. But she is an awesome teacher

Professor Adams is a great professor. Instead of a final, you have a final group project which is nice. The tests are not too hard, but you better study. I would definitely recommend her class!

Easy class, fun discussions if you have a good class, and don't buy the textbook i opened it maybe once!!

Marci makes the class enjoyable and easy to understand. Class is made up of mainly lectures with some hands-on lab time. The powerpoints are online so it's not totally necessary to go to class unless there's a lab that day. Marci really cares about her students and the content, but our final was a GROUP PROJECT. If that's not your thing, avoid.

This class was not that bad. About the same difficulty as a high school bio class. The class is a little project heavy: little projects and the final is a group project. After all the tests are taken and you start the project, don't even bother going to class as her lectures go a little off topic. Just do the work and you'll be fine.

I hate science, but this class was so fun! Marci was super chill and her lectures were very fun. She did not take attendance, and if you read the textbook you don't need to go to class BUT she pretty much only tests on what she lectures on. So going to lecture and not reading is a better bet in my opinion. NO FINAL, but a fun big group project.

She is a great professor. You can buy the book, but she covers everything in class. She is willing to meet with anyone outside of class. She explains things very simply and there are a lot of test helps out there. This class is intended for non-biology majors.

She was a good professor- her lectures were always interesting. I found that reading the book is VITAL (I'd say more so than attending lectures). The final for her class is a group project, so if that's not your thing, steer clear of Marci. Other than that, the assignments are pretty standard, and tests are manageable if you've done the reading.

Okay my dudes, Marci is awesome! The first test is rough, but the other two aren't as bad. And the last few weeks you learn about ecosystems so you can create a creature who would be able to survive in a Lord of the Rings habitat. Best. Final. Ever. Thank you Marci if you ever read this. Go talk to the TAs! & go to reviews & you're gold.

The group project at the end of the semester is so fun!! Marci is funny and a really good teacher. I never once used my textbook, but I think it would be helpful if you missed class, otherwise, don't worry about it. I wouldn't have gotten an A if it weren't for the TA reviews, so find out early which TA you like. (Go to Jonathans, 2017-18)

Marci is a wonderful professor. She really loves biology and knows how to teach it to understand it! She is hilarious and I love going to her lectures! Tests were reasonable. They made you really think and apply what you learned but if you study and go to class and TA reviews you should do fine. Final is a group project.

Marci is a fantastic biology teacher! She understands that not everybody is excited about biology and so she only covers the basics. The lectures are pretty much based on the textbook so if you want to read the textbook too you can but it's not necessary. Her tests are all application based, but if you study and go to TA reviews their pretty easy.

Overall a good class! She posts all her lectures online so you don't need the book or really even need to attend class. Before every test all her TAs do reviews outside of class on everything she covered, and they're really helpful. Marci is also an awesome teacher, would take her again!

Marci is an entertaining prof. Her lectures really didn't do much for me so I stopped going and only went on days we did labs. I read the chapters before the tests and did fine. The final exam is a group project & presentation and I hate group projects but this one was so easy. Kind of picky on grading assignments, but overall easy class and prof.

Marci is awesome. Not the best to get back to you quickly, but she will get back to you. First test was the worst and I thought I hated it. GO TO THE TA'S. They help so much and will help you study for the test. The final is a group project where you create a create that could survive in the Lord of the Rings. Best. Final. Ever. Take from her.

Marci knows what she's doing and loves what she's teaching. She gives such good lectures and explains everything so anyone can understand it. Attendance isn't graded but its a good idea because she's able to explain everything better than the book. Fantastic teacher, and the final isn't an exam, which I'll take any day! Highly recommend!

Marci is an incredible teacher! She has a lot of hilarious sarcasm in her lectures and makes class interesting. I didn't think the tests (there were 4) were too hard. They were a lot more logic based than memorization, but some students really struggled with them. The final was amazing because it was a really fun group project that was really easy.

Marci is a fabulous professor. She knows her audience, which means she focuses a lot more on the logical and practical aspects of biology than on details and rote memorization. Her lectures are entertaining and I enjoyed going to them, but if you have the textbook they're nonessential. Tests are very fair. The final is a group project.

Marci was a good teacher. TAs were very helpful at reviews (Tom Sant!). She posts her slides so you don't really need to go to class. Don't buy the book. I used it for the first few chapters and never picked it up again. The TA reviews go over what you need to know and they give practice questions. Final is a group project that wasn't too hard!

Marci is great! The homework and few essays were not necessarily easy, but I always got 100%. You do not need the expensive book despite what is said. DO NOT BUY IT. You'll never read it. Go to multiple reviews for the exams. The exams are difficult but fair. The final is easy and it gave me an overall A in the class. Definitely take from her!

Facts: 2-3 tests, final group project, about 10 small assignments. Opinion: You gain more from listening to the lectures than from reading the book. She knows you aren't biology majors and teaches the course accordingly. Advice: Make sure you are invested/interested in your final project. Use the book as a clarifier.

I thought Marci was a wonderful teacher. Science is not usually my thing so I was pretty scared, but it ended up being my favorite class. Marci made it really obvious how much she loved biology, and her lectures were really helpful. I didn't end up using my book very much, because her exams are based much heavier from her lectures.

Marci is a very reasonable and fun teacher. She cares about Biology, but realizes that most of her students are not Biology majors. She is great at answering questions, and despite the large class size, I feel like she knows who I am and is on my side. Great choice for Bio 100

I took Bio 100 because it was a prerequisite for my major. I don't normally enjoy biology, but this ended up being my favorite class of the semester. Marci is very mindful that many of the people in the class are not biology majors, and teaches accordingly. If you take good notes and study, you will do well on the tests.

Marcella is a tough grader because she really wants you to know your stuff. I really enjoyed taking her class though. She is super helpful, and the TAs are amazing! As long as you don't miss recitation, take notes on the lectures, and study a lot, you should get a good grade in this class. It is hard, but you learn a lot. Also, don't buy the book!

Marci gives the best lectures out of any professor I've had. Her tests are almost completely based on real world application of principles learned in class. I didn't open the textbook once and was totally fine. The Final is a group project, so find some friends!

Marci really loves her job and cares about her students. She makes lectures and labs interesting. Tests are pretty straightforward if you show up for lectures and TA reviews. The final is a group project broken up into a few parts so it's not all at once. Each student is graded on how much they contribute. Definitely your best option for BIO100

Marci is awesome! I hate Biology, and I didn't despise this class. If you like group projects, the final is a group project on a creature you make up in the Lord of the Rings Universe. The textbook isn't necessary, but if you don't want to go to class, you should read the book.

Marci has been my favorite professor! She makes lectures so funny and interesting, and her class isn't too hard. Instead of a final, you do a group project that's fun. The TA's for her class are also amazing and host so many reviews for the tests. As long as you study for the tests and do the labs, you'll do just fine.

Marci is a great teacher! I was one of the only upperclassmen in the class, but she made attending class fun. I learned a lot from her because she really teaches with passion. She is inspiring. Take this class from Marci!

Marci is such a good help and makes things great! I read the textbook before the test (hard because I stalled and lots to read) and studied her lectures. then I went to the Ta reviews that I could. Her tests are pure knowledge from lectures and the book so study both! she likes to ask applying questions. final is a group project that is fun & easy

Marci was super sweet to her students and very straightforward. She made the class pretty easy, although the tests were pretty hard which ultimately were the things to lower my grade. The final was super nice because it was a group project spread over time. She puts most of her powerpoints online as well which makes it nice if you miss class.

I have always hated biology but I absolutely loved Marci. I learned so much in her class and actually enjoyed it. The class isn't necessarily easy but the TA's are also super great and helpful and overall if you're taking biology at BYU take it from Marci.

Prof Adams was hilarious, fun, and really great. She made an effort to get to know her students, and taught in a clear and concise manner. I loved her lectures. Her tests were kind of hard, but if you studied you usually did fine. There are a lot of labs, and that is most of your out of class work, but it's manageable. Overall, an amazing class.

Marci is the best! she is super funny and makes her lectures entertaining. Her tests are difficult, but as long as you study hard you'll be fine! The labs are fun as well, and you get to know the students in lab pretty well. She inspired me to go into biology as my major. Would definitely take again, and I strongly recommend taking her class.

This class turned out to be a highlight of my week - I love Marci! There's a good amount of work, but it's not bad at all. The textbook is really only helpful to read &review for exams. You can probably get away without it. The best part of the class was definitely Marci. She taught clearly, made us laugh and engaged the whole class. Take from her!

Marci is a great professor and excellent lecture, however I didn't enjoy how the structure of the class was set up. Particularly the tests, which always felt rushed to study for in the review sessions and nobody really seemed to know exactly what to study.

Marci is a super fun professor! She makes the lectures as interesting as possible and gets you involved in a fun way. Her tests I found very easy as long as you memorize a few things, but very manageable. The final is a group project which really isn't hard. It's definitely a general though because the TAs are terrible, but you don't need them much

Whether the class is for a major or to fulfill a GE, Marci is the best. She is dedicated, passionate, and hilarious which make lectures enjoyable. She is very clear about what is required of you, and it's not much. Show up to class, read the book, go to lab, and you'll do just fine. Sciences are not my thing and this is one of my favorite classes!

Marci is so awesome! She's so caring and kind! She bases all tests off of her lectures so you don't even have to read the textbook although it's helpful. Labs were always hard, but if you talk to the TA's and go in during their office hours they're super helpful. The final is a group project which is really fun. Work hard and you'll do just fine.

Marci is the best! I actually studied a lot for the exams and did pretty well. Go to the TA reviews for the exams and you'll be fine. She is super nice and willing to help. There is assigned reading for every class, but she also lectures on everything you need to know. Skimming the chapter before class always helps. Be sure to go every class/lab.

Marci is easily the best professor to take BIO 100 from. She was super nice and her lectures were interesting and applicable. The tests weren't too bad if you attend the TA reviews and the final is a group project which makes things a lot easier. There is a textbook, but I got by just fine without it. Her powerpoints cover everything you need.

MARCI IS MY FAVORITE PROFESSOR BY FAR!! she is so amazing! loved her. the labs were not hard if you show up to your assigned lab time, but the tests are harder than i thought. the final is a group project! she is amazing and will answer all your questions in depth.

Super easy bio class. Everything we learned, I had learned in my 9th grade Honors biology class. There's a lab every week but those are pretty easy. Tests were easy, make sure you go to a TA review. Fun group project at the end instead of a final. She said we would need the textbook but I never even opened it, too bad I wasted that money.

She is AMAZING!! The lectures are always fascinating and engaging. Tests were hard, be sure to go to TA review sessions. You won't regret taking this class!!

While lectures aren't mandatory, you have to attend your labs without exceptions. I got the textbook for the class, but I only used it when I studied for the tests. She's super blunt and has a sense of humor I really enjoyed. For the final project, it is easier than a test but don't expect it to boost your grade too much. Take bio from Marci!

Marci is funny and gives good lectures. There is a lab every week which is easy if you show up. The tests are difficult, but the TA Reviews are super helpful. I didn't use the textbook once. The final is a group project that is super easy and fun. Definitely take bio from Marci!

Marci is hilarious! She loves teaching and she loves the students she teaches. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and provides frequent, real life experiences to illustrate concepts. The final is a group project where you create an organism that lives in the world of Lord of the Rings. Lectures are not mandatory but you really should go!

Marci is a great professor and gives great lectures. This is a hard class if bio isnt your thing; she definitely makes your work for your grade.

Marci's awesome, really enjoyed listening to her lectures even though I'm not a big biology kinda guy. The class was easy enough and TAs are willing to help you with anything. What I do like about Marci is that she uses a lot of application. There's a lot of terms that make it feel like high school bio but there's a handful of times it gets real.

Application based, educational. Grade consists of 3 tests, a final project instead of a final, and weekly labs/assignments. They aren't too bad, but there's pressure to get them all right. Some TAs are better than others. Tests come up quickly, but there are good TA reviews. She'll work w/you to improve in the future but doesn't give in to beggars.

I managed to do okay in her Bio 100 class without attending many lectures. Also you don't need to get the textbook at the beginning of the year. She's a good professor and likes what she does.

Marci was super nice and the class wasnt too bad. The test were a little difficult but as long as you attended lectures you will be fine. All the material comes from her lecture slides. The final was a group project which was a lot better than a final exam. I would definitely take this class from her again!

Not the end of the world to take it from Marci, but if you can get into someone else's class I would. Lectures were interesting enough but very surface level, and did very little to prepare you for the tests which were HARD. If you have a good TA it's a lot better, and go to TA office hours if you're struggling.

I really liked taking bio from Marci. It's not a hard class, you have to work of course but it's easy stuff, especially if you have a good TA for labs. she's definitely accessible outside of class and cares about her students. she seems really strict but it's not bad. she's pretty reasonable. lectures weren't super boring and she knows her stuff

I absolutely loved taking from Marci. Her assignments and tests are aimed at understanding and learning rather than memorization and regurgitation, so don't take from her if you're not all about that. If you need help (especially because her tests are crazy difficult), go to the Bio TA lab in the LSB, it's really helpful for reinforcing concepts.

Marci is pretty okay. Her powerpoints are kinda confusing and it takes a minute to get used to the disorganization, but it's pretty simple stuff. She doesn't explain it great all the time and the TAs don't really know what they're talking about. It's just in your hands whether or not you get the grade you want. No final just a final group project.

Marci knows what she is talking about when it comes to Biology. Homework for this class isn't bad and if you pay attention to the lectures and take notes you should do well on the tests. She is a fair grader. This wasn't necessarily my favorite class, but is a good option if for your GE credit.

I loved this class and Marci! She explained things very clearly and I loved that she focuses on real-life application. If you pay attention in class and study, you'll do fine on the exams even though they're tough. All the homework was easy, and there was only one assignment per week. This class may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I loved it.

Lectures are content heavy. Labs are group projects every time. She'll sometimes expect you to have outside knowledge (how to treat an acid burn with household products), but not really on test. Has some gross pictures from search and rescue. Tries to make the class engaging and does a pretty good job for the most part. Take notes

Funny teacher

Marci is super funny and enjoyable to have as a professor. She makes her lectures and slides easy to understand and applies all the information to real life scenarios. The exams are definitely application based! but once you start studying for application instead of memorization you'll be totally fine. The final project is fun and easy too.

I really enjoyed professor Adams class! Her classes are for sure lecture heavy but she will always keep the class engaged and use relevant examples, and she really tries to get to know her students. The final project is actually pretty fun-but be prepared to work!

I think all the bad reviews of this class are from freshmen who have never experienced a challenge before. The tests are pretty easy, all application-based stuff. I never studied for more than an hour for the tests and always got 90 - 95% on them. I like that she wants you to actually learn and apply the information rather than just repeat it.

Easy class. Opt out of the textbook (never read it) and just take notes from lectures. Tests were easy, never studied more than an hour or so for any of them. The TA review slides cover all the questions. Group project at the end was easy and creative. Overall a very chill class. Marci had interesting lectures and the content of the class was cool

This is generally a freshman level class, so I don't get any of the bad reviews. They come from the students who have never had a challenging class, which this is not. The class is easy if you attend lecture and take advantage of TAs and review sessions. Marci is a great professor and has hilarious lectures. 10/10 would take other classes from her.

Marci is one of the best teachers I have ever had. To be honest I am terrible at biology and I did horrible on most of my tests but the final project really redeems your grade. Her lectures are super funny and entertaining. I would definitely use advantage of the TA's for the test reviews because that is what helped me to at least not get a zero.

Pretty simple class. Lecture and textbook optional. To get an A, show up to recitations and TA review sessions.

The tests were difficult but she cares about the success of her students and when I wasn't feeling good about my first exam score, she made time to meet with me and went over each and every question with me and I did better on the next exam and even better on the next. She has a fun personality and makes the lectures entertaining and engaging.

I really enjoyed this class. Marci makes her lectures interesting by filling them with real life examples (remember those for the tests) and making you think about how the principles affect your life. Her tests are very much based on application of principles, but it's nothing surprising or unfair. If you pay attention, you should be just fine.

Professor Marci's BIO100 class can be challenging, but engaging lectures and helpful TAs make it manageable. Using resources like Unstuckstudy alongside the textbook is key for success. With effort, you can get a solid grade despite the difficulty.

I loved this class! Lectures are funny and interesting. There's nothing besides 3 tests, the final project, and the labs, but the labs are straightforward yet interesting and can basically be completed entirely during class. Focus is entirely on understanding and applying concepts. Warning if you're squeamish about blood/pictures of injuries.

I liked Marci's class, I enjoyed her lectures, she's engaging and encourages participation. Labs weren't too bad, just kinda annoying sometimes. You need to study a lot for her tests, TAs don't get the tests before so their reviews just go over everything. The textbook is not necessary, but I found it helpful when I was studying for tests.

The only homework is done in recitation which is mandatory to attend. Tests are not that hard, just based on her lecture slides. Interesting enough teacher. Do not need to read the textbook at all. Overall an easy GE to take with Marci

It's important to go to class and take notes because the slides can be confusing. The tests are difficult because they are application problems based on the things we learned in class. Ask the TAs for help. The group project and labs can raise the grade. Adams uses sarcastic humor that I think is fun and entertaining, but others might not like it.

Professor Adams was an excellent Professor, she makes it very clear that she will not curve or give extra points at the end of the semester and she holds to that, so don't expect mercy. The A- was my fault for forgetting to turn in one Assingment, the class was interesting and its very doable.

The bad reviews are probably from freshman that don't know how to study. Do the readings and show up to the lectures to make sure you know the info and you'll get a good grade. She's really funny and clearly cares for her students. She doesn't give out test study guides, but after exam 1 (of 3) you learn her test style so exam 2 and 3 are easy.

She spoke clearly about the concepts and her class was enjoyable. The tests aren't too bad if you review the subjects from class. There was a group project for the final, but it was fun and not too bad. Overall, a nice teacher for a general class.

Marci was amazing! Her tests are difficult, but if you study and use the TAs and reviews you'll be fine. Marci cares about her students and the subject and her lectures are interesting and engaging. She teaches biology and evolution exactly as it is and doesn't skirt around tackling difficult topics relating to science and religion. Take her class!

If you've taken any sort of bio class in HS, this should be a piece of cake. Admittedly, her sarcastic syllabus seems rather abrasive, but as a person she is fun and reasonable. Make sure to take good notes on what she says though, the slides aren't always too helpful. Final group project involved creating a creature to live in a specific niche.

This class is unique because Dr. Adams does not just teach you Biology, but prepares you for university level understanding, reading, and writing. She cares a lot about the class and she grades papers very quickly. I enjoyed the material and learned a lot but prepare to do some self studying because that is how the course is designed.

It was fine, if I had tried maybe I would've done better. Shes nice and her lectures are fun and engaging. There is one assignment a week with the TA's who are really nice. A couple tests throughout which if you know the stuff should be easy. I did not lol. Big group project at the end for your final. I liked it overall. Use the TA lab if you need

Marci is great. She loves biology, and it shows during her lectures. There is no study guide for tests, so make sure you go to the review sessions. Tests have written and multiple choice sections, but they're not awful if you're prepared. You don't really need the textbook because tests are solely based on class lectures. Go to recitations!

Don't be scared of the ratings or the syllabus like I was, Marci is amazing!!! I loved this class. Her exams are difficult, but not impossible, and have very easy open ended sections. Make sure to go to TA reviews before every test. The final project and recitations are basically participation points, so just put a little effort in.

Marci is a good professor. There are lectures twice a week and a lab once a week. Labs were worth 40% of your grade, tests worth 40%, and a final project worth 20%. If just try your best on the labs you should get 100% on most of them. Make sure to take some good time to study for the tests. The final project is pretty light. Overall, good.
