very clear teaching methods makes class fun, gets along with students, easy to understand lectures. not suggested for ant and phy, only for biology
she is a freakin awsome teacher and funny!!!! awsome!!!!
She is a very nasty teacher. lack patience not helpful at all I pass her class but she sucks
Mrs. Dugan rocks! i hate biological sciences and i came out of there with a B. she has a lot of notes, biology is boring anyway, so she tries to crack a joke here and there. study the notes and go to SI sessions, that really helped and use the review sheets to study.
She is very cool and funny. Biology is a boring subject but she makes it interesting. Her classes are awesome!!
All of the questions for her tests are in the notes that she gives. She is also great if you need extra help and is easy to talk and relate to.
Great Class! She know that most people dont like science so she trys to make the best of it! There are 4 or 5 test and the questions are all based on the notes that she made on power point she ussually does a review before the test also! If you take the notes and study them you should pass!!!
She is awesome!! She makes the material easy to understand. She gives out typed notes, and she only tests on what is covered in class. She's really cool and relatable. She's very patient and answers your questions. If she's available TAKE HER!!!
Mrs Dugan is an awesome teacher with excellent teaching techniques. Very helpful and caring with a nice sense of humor. Her teaching techniques and notes made me remember the material for the tests. I would highly recommend this teacher to anyone who is taking biology.
Very funny and helpful teacher. Made biology interesting and I recommend her to everyone taking bio.
sHE IS VERY DRY AND SOMEWHAT BORING. Her exams are confusing and when give she makes a play on words to try too bring in more confusion, instead of being straight forward. We all are adults in college rage from any age group with responsibilites. Who in the hell needs a 50 question test with so many words. I give this professor and "FFFFFFFFFFFF"
Exams are needlessly difficult. This teacher is on a mission. In terms of difficulty, she is like a medical school teacher, if that is what you want.
Mrs. Dugan is awesome! She cuts to the point, and you will understand. Just do the work that is required and study for the quizzes. She is one of my fav's
This teacher appears to be happen but it's not. I've met to many students she has flunked. She isn't what you read about so don't be lured in thinking she is all peaches and cream. Not! She knows biology but to put what you know in layman term for other to comprehen she isn't the one. Boring and not worth your monies.
DONT WAIST YOUR MONEY LIKE I DID! JUST LISTEN TO HER YOU DO NOT NEED THE BOOK!!!!!! SHES VERY TO THE POINT FUNNY AND A REAL GOOD TEACHER
good teach
This teacher is pathetic!!!!! She reads slides to you and expects for you to understand it. Anyone can read a slide. Her tests are a play on words and really difficult. She makes Biology very difficult when it does not have to be. If you take her do not buy the book, you will not use it at all. Take Dr. Green she is AWESOME!!!!!
I had her for the A&P I lab. The whole semester I thought I was doing well with nothing less than an 80 on anything. Well I ended up getting a D in her class. She is not clear on anything and she gave quizes before going over the material. Do not take her class she is very rude and doesnt seem to be proud of the students who are proud of themselve.
She is a hard teacher, exams are not that easy. She says things r on quiz and they are not. She only gives 15 quesions on each quiz. She is very sarcastic and think that u should know everything.she does not give extra credit and takes off point for silly things,I dont recommend her
God aweful Professor. She doesn't explain what she wants fully, she expects you to know everything and asking her a question is not a fun thing to do...If you can get along with her u will pass , if not FORGET IT.
not a great teacher anymore. all she does is read slides, gets mad if u dont understand something, and what she says is on the test really is not. nice out of class (talking to her before or after), good person not a good teacher. if u want to teach yourself then take her. dont buy the book u will never use it
She is a good teacher. Very starightforward. Her notes are all typed up for you and very clear. Everything on the tests is in the notes and she basically tells you what to know! Awesome teacher! Took her for bio, liked her a lot, then took her for a&p 1 lab. Easy class, she's funny, and she really does care!
She is a great teacher. Very energetic, gets you laughing even though A&P is a boring subject. Everything on the tests are on her slides & she gives you printouts of the notes. Study them you will get an A on the test. Final exam is optional and will replace lowest test grade. The quizes added together can also replace a test grade.
One of the best teachers who teach A&P in north campus. Intresting class. Tests are straighht forward. And if you study the notes and do a little bit of reading you will do good in this class.
For this course, she tested based on notes ONLY, we didn't use the book. She tells a lot of interesting stories and I really enjoyed going to her class. She also left plenty of space open for questions and stayed after class to ensure everyone understood. I would heavily recommend taking her classes.
Awesome teacher. Awesome person. Don't listen to the negative comments left on here. TRUST ME! YOU WANT TO TAKE THIS TEACHER!! Get to know her a little bit and your semester will be extremely easy.
Very good teacher just study your notes and do review sheet on-line
She's one of the best teacher I've ever had, funny in class... serious about learning and tricky questions! I love her!
Uses a lot of technology and visual aids to teach the class, which helps a lot. This class is actually pretty interesting for a Biology class. YOU DO NOT NEED TO BUY THE BOOK. Just print out the notes that are online and follow along in class and you should do fine. Overall, very good class.
This week was my first week in her class and already I can tell she is going to be a great teacher! She tells the class how she had teachers that she hated and put her to sleep and blah blah and that she swore she would never be like that and she's NOT!! Take her for biology for sure, great teacher! 4 tests, final is optional!!
She is easy to understand and doesn't mind questions. All the tests go off all her lectures. I didn't even buy the book for this class.
Study, show up to class and read the book and you will pass. Helps to take a lab too. She is easy to get along with but tests will scare you a lil bit.
Excellent professor, definitely recommend her uses powerpoint lectures,handouts, clicker where you ans ?'s that she has on the lecture thats how she takes attendance n keeps track of whose participating n who knows what she reviews before each test(all 4)final is optional she has all notes on her website n uses alot of animations to explain work
The class is very intensive,and put in the hybrid (short) mode - makes extremely hard to remember tons of theoretical stuff. Although, professor has a sense of humor - it didn't help. I think she must reconsider the syllabus - it's not possible to get all this in 6 weeks. Ans she isn't really helpful. I'm VERY upset, although studied a lot.
The worst professor I've ever had and that's the truth. She's very sarcastic and gets great joy out of failing people. She tends to single out a group that she likes and dislikes. MAY GOD HELP YOU IF SHE DISLIKES YOU, CAUSE THERE'S NOTHING THAT YOU CAN DO RIGHT. Did I mention that she barks at you if you ask a question!!!
Ignore the reviews she gives, the test is 30-40% of what she taught in class. Just study everything as best you can. She's one of those people who believes that she's perfect cause she already has a degree. Gets angry if u don't understand, explains things at a 100mph as if she's really hoping you don't comprehend. Bottom Line "Don't waste ur time"
Let's put it this way, my so called Best Friend (been friends for 15 years) told me to take this professor. I haven't spoken to her since. So you be the judge.
She was a great professor. Helpful and clear. It's not an easy class, but that's not her fault. Do the work and you'll be fine.
One of the worst teachers BCC has to offer. I get the feeling that her MEAN BEHAVIOR is due to the fact that she really doesn't know much. Be careful, she enjoys failing people. She likes to sit around and talk about how many people will succeed and fail. When she says the word "FAIL", you can see great pleasure in her face. Study, study and study.
Professor Dugan is a good professor that has high expectations of her students. If you have a sensitive personality, you won't like her approach. However, she is quite knowledgeable and is always willing to help her students. You will have to work hard to do well in this class, that's just the nature of A&P and its lab.
she is so MEAN ,i dont know why BCC keeps this woman , she is NOT helpful at all .. dont ask her for help cos she wont help u , i would rate her # 1 worst teacher in BCC .. ive been in Bcc for quite sometime .. and trust me she is the wrost ... DO NOT take her ....
Excellent professor, clases are fun and easy. Very well explained. Don't need book, with her notes is enough. This was a blended class.
UNPROFFESIONAL NATURE VERY SARCASTIC, VERY KNOWLEDEGABLE BUT HER SARCASTIC DEMEANOR DISTRACT HER TEACHING CAPAPBILITIES. SHE TEACHES AS IF YOU SHOULD ALREADY KNOW THE MATERIAL. DON'T ASK A QUESTION; AFTER ALL HER SARCASM YOU MIGHT GET HALF OF AN ANSWER. THE TEST WERE OK BUT YOU HAVE TO STUDY EVERYTHING
LAB: SHE IS VERY SARCASTIC BUT SHE KNOWS HER STUFF AND EVERYTHING ON HER TESTS ARE WHAT SHE GOES OVER. THE PRACTICALS ARE HARD BUT SHE PREPARES YOU EVERYWAY SHE CAN I DID NOT GET AN A I GOT A B BUT I RATE HER AN A.. IF YOU DO NOT WANT A FREE RIDE THROUGH COLLEGE.. DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE!!
Prof Dugan is a great biology teacher. She wants her students to do well. She does review questions after each lecture, optional final exam, but hates those who sleep in her class. I had her at 9:30am and would occasionally doze off, she would call me out by name and say WAKE UP!! Overall good teacher and would take again if needed.
BCC KICK HER OUTTTTT ... SHE SHOULD RETIRE, ONE OF THE MEANEST PROFESSORS IN BCC ... DO NOT TAKE HER .. OR TAKE HER AND BLAME URSELF LATER .. DONT EXPECT A HELP FROM HER
I loved Dugan! But then again.. I enjoy the sarcasm and wittiness, it was the only thing that kept me interested and awake. don't sleep.. god forbid ur cell phone ring! But as soon as you learn her quirks and how to approach her, she's excellent. She DOESN'T spoon feed, she expects you to be a student not a child! Wished she taught more classes
By far my favorite biology teacher! Going into allied health you will be taking a lot of biology classes, she is absolutely a treat to have teach you bio! I strongly recommend her for bio and A&P
Do not listen to the people complaining! Her class is very fun and easy. She uses clicker tests during class to help you memorize the material. She is very funny NOT sarcastic. DEF TAKE HER! YOU WILL REGRET IT IF YOU DON'T!!
Good teacher.loved what she teaches. You do have to study to pass,but not very.Grades ok.no extra credit...
She is very intimidating. All the way up until the end I thought I was going to fail but pulled through. She doesn?t give a review and the test cover all her notes, slides, and book. Be committed and study hard!!
to tell you the truth i dont understand how she's the head of department she's not that great she doesnt give review for the test overall the test's isn't hard but you have to study the lab notes she teach as if you already know the stuff if u looking for a good teacher go downtown and take joy stewart it worth thr drive dont take her she not good
She is nice.She goes with powerpoints.She has some extra credit activities.if you want to learn something from the environment i'd recommend her.Tests and Quizes are from the book.Just read the book.
Stay away from this Professor. This Professor heads the science dept and they should leave her right there. She does not belong in a class room with real students who are trying to achieve. Very cold and her tests are nothing like her lectures. I ended up with her because I needed the credit for graduation. She needs to retire.
This woman should be working at the ZOO!!!She's not fit to work with human beings...She very rude and condescending..Doesn't give reviews and tests are Hella Hard...Do all of the online quizzes and xtra credit...You'll need it!
Great teacher. Took her fast track course and passed with a B. She has a lot of online quizes and 6 discussions. She gives reviews for tests online. The tests are based on her power points mostly. Never needed to use a book. As long as you do all the quizes online and study for the tests you will pass. Tests are hard so you need to study!
I took the fast track course. There is a lot of material to cover, there are 2 quizes per week online through blackboard, and 1 discussion per week. She gives 4 tests in class. She is a great teacher, knows the material very well. She is helpful and explains everything clearly. Her tests/quizes come from powerpoints. I passed the class with a B.
TOOK HER FOR FAST TRACK, SHE HAVE TOO MANY QUIZZIES ABOUT 20 PLUS 3 TESTS AND A FINAL IN CLASS. IF YOU LOVE QUIZZIES TAKE HER IF YOU LOVE DISCUSSIONS TAKE HER, IF NOT RUN FROM THIS TEACHER RUN VERY FAST.
She was one of my favorite, I don't understand why other students love to blame on the instructor when they don't get a good grade, study is what she recommend, read her materials... she's fun, helpful and straight to the point! If you want babysit, she's not for you... if you are able to take responsiblity and learn... she's great!
I really liked her she is very blunt and to the point but if you are willing to work hard you'll do well in her class she lets you know the exact material needed to pass a test or quiz Overall great professor
I took her for lab. She doesn't take anyones BS. Her tests can be a lil tricky. Your grade is based on 4 skills checks, 5 15 questions quizzes, and 2 practicals. Shes a great teacher, but you really need to study. I prob wont pass her class, but thats not her fault, but mine.
I don't advise anyone to take her online classes unless you don't mind being graded in the assignments based on your grammar. Expect a some math allot of chemistry, don't bother buying the book and On her exams you can't review your answer or skip(because you won't be able to go back). all this was not on the syllabus btw. She isnt hard or easy.
Absolutely impossible to work with. Will not bump up even within 3 points. (Her curriculum and tests had grammar and spelling errors, she took points off us) VERY STRICT! This teacher is also Asst. Dean so even if you have a problem, she's the one you'd have to dispute it with. KEEP AWAY from this teacher!
She's great. Certainly not an easy class, and very intense, but only for two months. She's extremely reasonable, and is blunt about the large course load. For Biology, a total of 19 quizzes, 6 discussions, 4 tests, and an optional final. She gives you all the tools you need for success.
She is an excellent teacher. However, her test are insanely difficult and unreasonable. Would not suggest taking her class. I am a A+ student, but barley made it out of her class with an A.
This is my first time rating a professor. I just finished taking Environmental Science with Marie Dugan. She's very clear with subject from day 1 through the end. She's very easy, no book required, attendance only for the first 2 weeks, she's not boring with lecture. Overall, she's great and recommend any student to take her class.
Prof. Dugan is an inspirational person and a very knowledgeable about environment. She tells you everything you want to know about interesting facts of the world and especially Florida. Her tests make you think before answering the questions and you have to be update on her class. You will learn a lot and you won't ever feel weird in front of her.
Professor Dugan was very helpful. I took her online for labs before graduation and she was ALOT OF HELP. I thought I was going to get a D but she gave me a C. There's alot of experiments and dont copy and paste from the internet she will know but besides that she helped me catch up when I fell behind. Take her and you will learn!
Professor Dugan is not helpful. I took her online course I was attempting to take an exam I had technical issues with my computer and would not allow me to retake the exam. Just know if you are gonna take this course make sure your computer is up to date and won't have any major issues when it comes to online test or exams.
Professor Dugan is the BEST! She is extremely helpful, she responds to emails very quickly. Her grading is very fair. Her class is a must pass. There are many experiments, no exams. Take her.
This professor is a tough grader. She will take points off for the littlest things. My advice: do not use lab photos that are not your original work. The labs are time-consuming and not to mention, too extra! I loved this class, but I am on the verge of getting a B just because she is picky. She is nice overall. Would not take her again
This class is weighted heavily on your 4 exam grades. You will have to put forth some effort in studying and whatnot to pass. That being said she does an extensive exam review prior to each exam giving a study guide. The coursework itself is laid out very well there is very little "bloat" which makes it very easy to study. My experience was positiv
Professor Dugan is one of the best! She gives great feedback on assignments, responds to emails quickly, extremely helpful and great personality. I would take her again. On the other hand, be prepared for lot of experiments and quizzes with 3 discussions. Some of the experiments are time consuming.
Mrs. Dugan is a very harsh teacher she does not care about your personal issues her only concern is the work in the class. She does not give second chances and she's a tough grader. She is picky about everything and what hurt the most, I was going through a really ruff time to a point where I was depressed, she made me feel like dropping out.
She's nit-picky. Makes an easy course difficult and not fun. Quiz heavy and full of trick questions and confusing; her review sheets are not helpful at all. She gives a lot of feedback but its not necessarily positive. Zero empathy! I don't recommend her AT ALL.
This is the worst teacher ever!! Do not take her!!!! She takes point for literally everything and anything. She is not helpful what so ever. She takes forever to respond to an email. Gives back feedback and it is always NEGATIVE! She makes a class that is suppose to be fun very annoying and hard. WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT TAKE HER. You will regret it
Very difficult class to pass. I took her for gen bio and lab and was struggling to keep up with the work. She does not care about your full-time job or what you're going through. You just need to get the work done. She offers no extra credit and the exams are extremely difficult because the review sheets cover less than half of what's on the exams.
Hardest Class ever. Do not take this in the summer or online way too much work in a short period of time. She is tough grader marks down for every little thing, extra credit is offered but they are still hard.
You wanna meet a lady that loves the environment, well this lady is right up your alley. She conveys what you need to know about the world in a way that doesn't feel too preachy or too governmentaly mandated. The class work itself is pretty simple as long as you occasionally glance at the work and try to pick up on the things that are lectured.
Amazing teacher, knows the subject very well. she is truly willing to teach you about environment as well as about importance taking care of it. Very clear grading criteria, she spends at least 5 minutes of every class explaining what is due and how the stuff should be done. Lectures are very interesting. Loved her sense of humor
This Professor I took online gives great lectures and although she has a lot of pop quizzes and exams with one project, she gives you review sheets which are notes to look over and write on, and if you pay attention to her announcements when exams are coming up she tells you what to review for your exam. There is a final but it is optional.
great professor, easy to follow workload. really cares about the environment. easy to pass exams with the quizzes. dont be late. dont leave early. dont text. shes cool. easy A
I took her 8-week class. It was a steady amount of work and quizzes. I used flash cards to study for her exams. She gives extra credit quizzes. Show up, do the work assigned, study for exams and you will pass.
I was close to an A but she didnt want to give me a few points for an A. The extra credit she gives are too small (very little points). This class has a lot of work, so if you have a busy schedule, Dont take this class. I wouldnt recommend this teacher.
Prof. Dugan is great professor! Her lectures are easy to understand and she loves to make jokes! My class was at 8am so most people were tired but she always brightened the room with her jokes! She is very caring and wants all her students to pass. She has review sheets for her exams which are the BEST! Everything that is on there, is on the exam!
Wow. Professor Dugan was exceptional in the amount of information relayed in environmental science. These lectures not only were engaging but entertaining. Due to her experience, it benefited when she referred to personal jobs or trips dealt with environmental science. I was truly intrigued.
Horrible , wont help you in any way shape or form
Come to class so you can pass!
I actually enjoyed her biology class... It was not the easiest but she explains everything.. She was very helpful during the COVID-19 transition. I did obtain a C+ but that is my fault for not studying as hard as I should of.. Overall, you have to work for your grade but i like a challenge. I decided to pick her up for the BSC lab for fall.
This teacher has you do a lot of quizzes within a week
TAKE HER ONLINE! Her lay out is excellent, easy to understand. Just do the work and try your best and you will get a B. If i put a little more effort I could have EASILY gotten A. You decide your grade in this class. PLENTY OF EXTRA CREDIT! TAKE HER ONLINE ADHERE TO HER DUE DATES, YOU WONT REGRET IT. Would take her again if i needed another science
Shes amazing. gives out good notes.
What a great person and professor! This is the only class I wish I could've taken during the pandemic. You do have to earn it. Just do what your suppose to, don't copy and paste. When she can tell that you have taken the time to understand the material and give a response that shows that, you'll get a good grade. The exams can be tough.
Nice old lady but way too much work.
Dont take her, I regret it so much. She gives so much unnecessary work and is such a tough grader its frustrating.
she has open exams that she'll close her class before you can take, and if you have any issues while trying to submit work she'll screw over your grade
Shes well organized and knows how to teach.
I've had her for EVR1001 and Bio Lab and she's overall a good teacher. As long as you complete the work and listen to her instructions you'll pass. But make sure you listen to her instructions that seems to be her biggest annoyance. If your looking a an easy professor she is it. She clear and straight to the point if you fail it's your own wrong.
This professor is inapt, uncivil, and absent. Because of this professor, I will never recommend anyone take any life/environmental science classes at Broward. Make sure to double check what she marks wrong because she's known for being inaccurate with her grading.
Probably one of these professors that does better in person. Abrasive if you ask questions. They're are better professors for this class you can take. Grades too critical without explaining. Wouldn't recommend. Good luck!
