I took her for both semesters of bio. She was an awesome teacher. Her tests may be challangeing, but her handouts follow her lecture word for word and so do the tests. Her lectures are fun and entertaining. If you enjoy biology and have a firm grip on the subject, you should do fine. I got A's in both semesters.

She was okay for the first biolgy part. But on the second level, i saw the not so good side of hers. She didn't go over stuff.

Biology is a science course, therefore it requires you to study, she is not going to spoon feed you the material. If you are planning to graduate and attend a university, the science courses only get more difficult and demanding. She is one of the greatest professors I ever had, including both college and university level.

Hard class. Web blended is cool because you only have to go to class once a week but on the other hand, it is harder to learn everything on your own. Carabelli has high expectations. Although, she curved most tests and offered a few extra credit opportunites which helps. MAKE sure you finish the online quizzes before due dates.

I took her online class which was not bad. She gives quizzes for each chapter and her exams include 3-5 chapters at a time so it is imperative that you study for her exams.

SHE GIVES A QUIZ AT THE BEGINNING OF EVERY LAB AND IT IS BASED ON THE PREVIOUS LAB, SHE GIVES STUDY GUIDES FOR THE QUIZ. SOMETIMES WHAT IS ON THE STUDY GUIDE IS ON THE QUIZ AND SOMETIMES IT IS NOT. HONESTLY THE LAB REPORTS MATTER AND THEY DO NOT. THE LAB FINAL IS CUM. AND IT BASICALLY DETERMINE UR GRADE IN THE CLASS WORTH 100PTS.

i personally worked hard for her class this semester and it was of my interest to read every single chapter given since i am heading to medical school. it is a lot of information to absorb at a time. if you do not need this course, do not take it because you would then put the blame on the instructor of a course that you can not handle. i had an A

She uses PP for all her lectures. Just reads off of them. She has so many classes on her plate; doesn't attend to students need. This class is essential for science major students.. you have to read the book yourself and do all the masteringbiology. Isn't really here for her students.

You will need to read a LOT, so if you are not prepare for it, don't take her. Online lab and assignments aren't that hard, you must follow all the guidelines. There are four tests plus the final, but she'll drop the test with the lowest score. (NOT THE FINAL). Lectures are really helpful. Overall, she is a nice professor, yet quite strict.

Horrible professor. Always catches an attitude when you ask questions, refuses to tell you what questions you got wrong on the online quizzes & tells you to "figure it out yourself", reads straight off the power point,tests go in EXTREME depth- far beyond what she teaches. Took class despite what friends told me bc she had good reviews- mistake

In this class you will earn the grade SHE thinks u deserve NOT the grade u earned. Your test 1 & 2 OR 2 & 3 will always have the same score. No matter how much you study, if you get an 80 on her exams she will tell you, you are not fit for any science degree. Isn't that lovely? don't expect her to teach you anything. Teach yourself.
