She is a very nice teacher. Lecture is extremely boring and sometimes not even worth going bc she tends to go off on her soapbox quite a bit. She gives moderate homework and gives a fair amount of extra credit but the tests are killer. Plan on studying your a** off for the tests because they are hard!

Her lectures jumped around. I found taking notes while reading the text more helpful. Her monotone voice doesn't help the interest factor. Her constant sickness seems to be an excuse to have something in her mouth which is annoying when you can barely understand her. I've had more stimulating exciting teachers in science. She's a disappointment.

Wouldn't take again

This professor has been everything I didnt want in one She is not lenient, not accessible after class, and is nowhere close to being tech savvy. Horrible due dates, and forced community service. Be warned. only take this class if there is no other option.

Absolutely terrible. Disorganized. Instructions are confusing. Scatter brained, she doesn't seem to know what's going on. She gets annoyed when you ask for clarification. Doesn't post assignments on time. Contradicts herself, she says one thing and then holds you accountable to something else. Took off points because I didn't have my book on day 1.

Attendance is mandatory. Her PowerPoints are old and have old content on them, some were from 2015. She only reads off the PowerPoint. There is a short quiz every week, but the questions are very specific. Sometimes the quiz questions would have a different answer than what the PowerPoint said. Would not recommend it.

I've taken Professor Flood for several classes now, and I love her classes and labs. Tests are often open ended questions, which really give you a chance to show what you know versus mc. Generous grader. Understand the concepts and you'll be fine. Overall a very kind, pleasant, knowledgable professor. Just participate and you'll do great.

This teacher started off as a nice professor who seemed to care, unfortunately this nice persona did not stay. The teacher never talked about assignments during class. All she does during class is go through slides and read verbatim. No feedback on HW. No study guides. EXTREMELY LATE GRADING. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS.

Flood was the GOAT! She gave us awesome opportunities for field trips. The labs were fun made friends from them. Her lectures were very understandable. She is very sweet and is passionate about Bio.

Flood was the GOAT she is so amazing and loves what she does. I would 100% take her again she gave us opportunities for field trips. Easy A class all you do is labs and quizzes. Everything is pretty much given to you.

This class was so freaking easy. I'm not a science person at all and I did fine. She's a good teacher and makes the class really easy and the labs engaging. We went on several field trips too. Great teacher, kinda disorganized tho, and crap ton of assignments. But this class was stupid easy so it's lowkey worth it. Overall, great class.

Flood was great. Very engaging w/ her assignments. Plenty of opportunities to boost your grade. My one knock is that her PowerPoints are out of date (some are 10+ y/o). Def an old school professor with higher expectations than most, but that has its benefits. If you can stay on top of things despite the disorganization, you should be fine.

This professor is okay but can be rude at times. There are no study guides because she says biology majors should do it on their own. The lecture slides are outdated with mistakes, the homework is extremely long for no reason, and labs take forever to get graded. The lab practical was also very hard with barely any multiple-choice questions.

Her class is super hard and honestly really boring because it's all ecology and plants, which I don't find interesting. There's a lot of homework and quizzes every week and no study guides. She gives plenty of extra credit though. As a person she can be a bit rude sometimes but overall she's okay.

This was her first time teaching BIOL 1108K in a long time, so her slides are outdated and she's a bit disorganized. Labs are short, and two of them are outside in the woods. There's a quiz every week and no tests—only a final exam. The homework is super long: about 30 questions per section, plus 15–20 multi-part problems.

Dr. Flood is a great professor. I'm not really into plants, but she explains the material clearly. She's not very tech-savvy, and labs take a while to be graded, but she offers lots of extra credit. She also uses many pictures in lectures, so following the textbook helps. Overall, she's good, but sometimes assume you already know the concepts.

You had to show up and talk each class which can be hard for students who aren't comfortable speaking on controversial topics. She can be a bit rude, insensitive, and defensive when discussing topics like: religon, politics, etc. I think overall shes a nice, caring professor but def wouldn't take her for ethics.

Never graded anything on time. She would claim she opened assignments but the next week say she forgot and she'll do it that day, but she never would. She was never organized! It was hard finding assignments and where to turn them in online. Not everything was in the calendar which made everything confusing. No link/ppt was ever updated.

No study guides on the lab practicals. Her class is extremely hard to take. You have to take quizzes every single weeks, but there is no tests. Lecture slides seems to outdated version. Lab Practical's is super difficult to take, not a lot of multiple choice questions. She grades the lab practicals late, and never mentions about the assignments.
