If you love Biology you will learn a lot from her. Her test can be tricky and you really have to think. If you are looking for an easy A don't take her. If you are majoring in Biology and really like the subject she is the only way to go.

This class was one of the hardest classes I ever took. If you want a good grade... do not take her. Her tests are extremely hard even if you read the chapters 2 or 3 times. You learn a lot but it does not pay off in your grade.

She is awesome! People who fail her class just don't study! I made an A on her first test, and I don't think I studied as hard as I should have. It's a lot of material, but that's not her fault. She's just trying to prepare you for later sciences.Take her

Hard but fair...Be prepared to work but prepares you for many other classes.

She's a great teacher,I recommend her if you are a biology mayor, the material is hard, but actually you learn a lot with her.

Great class, very hard, but who said college was easy?

She's a very good teacher, the material is obviously super hard, but you actually learn a lot. I recommend her only for bio majors.

Dr. Lundel is a extremely hard teacher, but you learn a lot in her class. As long as you read the book pretty well and pay attention to lectures you should be able to pull a B. Highly recommend her if you are wanting to pursue a career in Biology

She was a very good professor...very professional and thourough. Made an A in her class, Only made one B on one exam and I had been out of high school for 6 years before I decided to come back to school. A+ professor

She is a very hard professor, but her lectures are very helpful when it's time for the tests. I like how she does a little review after class for the test. Great class and professor, but she is hard for non-bio majors. I'm a bio major so I was glad I had her because I learned a lot.

I got an A in the class but you have to work for the grade. I didn't find attending classes very helpful (but had to b/c of i-clickers) because it is a lot of info given to you at one time and you have to read all the chapters anyway. She DID curve and depending on the class some curves were slight A = 86-100% and some were like an A = 80-100%.

She was a real good teacher. I took her last semester. We used our clickers every class period, but they really healped me learn. And she also had really good slideshows that she would explain very well. The only drawback is that you really need to study to make a B or A. However, she does give really nice curves.

This was a hard class. She flies through the slides so if you dont have a laptop you cant possibly write notes fast enough. The curves were nice and the i-clicker did help. If this were the ONLY class I had this semester I probably would have gotten an A. Its alot of info! Be ready to study!

come to class for the extra credit I-clicker questions. Do the assigned homework and read the chapters. Her tests are hard but there is a curve and without too much effort I got an A by reading the chapters the night before and doing all the homework.

She was a great teacher, she had huge curves and bonus points that are added at the end of the semester using an I-Clicker! She's very interesting and funny. I'd take her again!!

great teacher

she's really witty, and she is fun. Her test are pretty difficult, but that biology. You must read each chapter at least twice. Be ready to go trhough at least three spirals of notes. All around this is a great bio 1 teacher!

attending class is helpful, and i-clicker use is nice bc it clarifies confusing topics and also gives extra points and the end of the semester. she seems nice but her class/tests are hard, her online study guides and practice tests are very helpful, must read book.

She is a very nice professor and deffinately knows a ton about biology! she tends to get really into her lectures and uses the iclickers for extra points at the end. Her tests are very hard but she always puts a curve on them. The final is cumulative which makes it even worse. Deffinatly not and easy A! But if you REALY want it you can get it

I was in her Genetics class, and she was a good professor. iClicker bonus points are nice, and with any kind of work ethic her tests aren't all that bad. I would study maybe 1-2 hours for a test and read the chapter twice and got an A or B on the tests. The online homework is helpful as well.

Knows the material VERY well, curves every exam (a good majority of the class would fail without it), has a lot of self-control (you wouldn't believe the disrespect she gets every week from the lazier kids), no extra credit, goes through the concepts of every chapter very fast, but supposedly one of the better BioScience I teachers. Do not slack.

I liked this professor, she had iclicker questions that really helped you remember important things for the tests. And she curves every test, like the last test we had, 50 to 64 was a C, thats crazy, you only needed to know half the questions to get a C. She's very generous

Prof Lundell was pretty challenging i regret now paying attention in class. I studied minimally and took the tests and managed b's and a's on all because of the amazing curve! I did go to her office several times and if you go shes VERY HELPFUL and if she knows you want to learn she goes out of her way to make sure you get an A

Lundell is a great teacher! moves very quickly so better read before class! Tests werent so bad. Recitation sucked! But really enjoyed this class. I didnt study almost at all, just read most of the info and you will be fine! she is a bit sarcastic but..Take her she is great.. promise!

I loved this class. Not an easy A -I worked hard for it but i learned alot. Take her if you can, take advantage of the companion book website where you can quiz yourself and the quizzes in the back of each chapter. Recitation helped me see what topics i needed to work on that i may have underestimated.

Professor Lundell is a great genetics teacher. She moves at a quick pace, but it isn't anything that is unbearable. You should read the chapter before it's lectured over as suggested. She is upfront about her expectations for the class and they aren't unreasonable. The tests aren't ridiculously hard, and she curves to an 80 = A.

Dr. Lundell is a great professor! You do have to keep up with her as she lectures, and there is a lot of material to cover. She doesn't have an office hour, but you can set up a time with her, and she's really helpful and kind! I definitely recommend her!

YOU MUST READ THE BOOK! Always come to class, always read before hand and take good notes! This is a weed out class and you will fall behind quickly if you don't keep up with the material. She is a good teacher, but really tough, you have to work for this one!

She's a good teacher, she goes through the text a bit too fast and if you don't keep up you won't do well in the class. people have said that she curves tests but I've taken 2 tests and she hasn't given us a curve so i don't know.

She's tough but if you are a student who will put forth the effort, you should do fine. She knows her stuff. READ the book, know the book. Her tests are not too bad, tough but very do-able if you READ THE BOOK.

Dr. Lundell is wonderful!! I had a horrible AP Bio teacher my senior year and I was very skeptical of majoring in Bio, but Dr. Lundell turned that around. Her class is tough but she either curves or eliminates your lowest grade of something. READ THE TEXT BOOK. You do clicker questions which are awesome. She is super nice. Take her!!

Lundell is awesome! She really does care about her students. Biology is a very detailed subject and in this class it's really important to read the book because the professor doesn't have time to go over every single detail in the book. As long as you read the book and understand the concepts, you should be able to get an A. She does curve tests.

She tells you almost everything you need to know in class. She gives Iclicker questions almost daily at the end of lectures. The questions are over the lecture and its applications. The resuscitation counts VERY heavily you NEED to go I got a B but would have gotten an A if hadnt missed 3-4 of them She drops grades. She also gives a high curve.

Even though Prof Lundell expects you to read the chapter ahead of her,she goes over everything in class. If you are a good note-taker, her notes are enough. She gives out sample tests before every exam, the questions on the exam will be very similar to the sample exam,so while finding answers for sample exam, read nearby sections as well

Hard, but fair. Helpful. She cares about the students and the subject.

Lundell is an excellent teacher. Keep in mind that this is a college level biology class so it is going to be difficult. Go to class, get the clicker points, read the chapter and you'll do fine. Use the old exams to study for the new exams.

Those who say prof. Lundell suck are the ones who want it easy. Yes u have to attend class & yes the exams are a bit difficult but she curves high based off the iClicker questions. U will not get ur grade handed to u, u'll have to work for it but a B or A is not unattainable. Overall she's a good professor compared to the other Bio 1404 Professors

IF I had to take Dr. Lundell over again, I really would. Her tests are challenging sometimes, but actually going to class can do your grade wonders. The I-Clicker points can raise your test grade a whole letter. Go to class, go to recitation, and study old material. If you do these things, you'll get EASY points and won't regret it...

Lundell is a great professor who really knows her stuff. NEVER skip class, she covers a lot of material very quickly and expects you to keep up with the textbook. The test are difficult but iclicker points are very helpful. If you decide to take her, be prepared to work hard.

Well i guess it will depend of what kind of student you wanna be. I loved the way Dr Lundell teach. The i-clicker points are easy points to get, however it`s her method to push the students to stay on track.So if you want an easy teacher who will give you everything and post the courses online don`t take her. Overall she is great

Just read the book once and you will get a 100 on all the tests. You won't even need i-clicker points because she doesn't go over 100 for your test grade; the clicker points are useless. Unless you didn't read the book then go to class.

One of my top 10 profs of my college career. Tests can be challenging but only if you don't read all the assigned chapters. If you don't understand something then she's available right after class for help. Uses i-clkr's daily but only as bonus towards test. Usually gets you 10+ points on each test. Usually brings grading scale down anyways.

Class was easy, test little confusing, you must read the book, just as a side note even though you got an A all semester long doesn't mean you are exempt for the final (if you are too low she wont give you an A)... Tests are very like her reviews, BUT she changes the question "slightly" so the answer is completely different.Know your punnet squares

Professor Lundell is one of my favorite professors at UTSA. No, her tests aren't a cake-walk, but if you attend class regularly, do the online homeworks, and actually read the book, you'll be fine. An A is fairly easy to make. I-Clicker points help A LOT, up to 15 points extra on each test (except final) so take them seriously! Great professor!

People exaggerate when they say Dr. Lundell's class is hard. An A is certainly not the easiest thing to make, but it is attainable. There is a lot of information covered, so read your book, take GOOD notes (preferably on a laptop because she goes over stuff really fast,)and study HARD. She gives generous curves on tests on top of clicker points.

Dr. Lundell is a great professor who is really passionate about what she does. Going to class isn't mandatory, but you really need to go to get all the info, and the bonus points for tests. Tests are tough but she gives study questions, old exams, and reviews. Study study study!

Dr. Lundell definitely gives you a run for your money. The class is definitely not easy, and you need to make sure you're on top of your readings every class. She expects you to know the chapters before hand. Very good at explaining a majority of the material. Main thing is to go to class, you get extra points with iclicker. They will save you!

It doesn't matter which professor you take, BIO 1404 is just a tough subject. She goes through the material fairly quickly and tests are really hard, so you need to make sure you're on top of everything.

She isn't as bad as people say. She is very friendly, helpful, and you can tell she likes the subject. She makes it challenging enough to LEARN the information. She has bonus i-clickers that are added to the exams, and if you work hard, getting an A is possible. Tests are cumulative, and derives review questions from previous tests.

Great professor. Don't go in expecting one professor to be easier than the other, biosciences is a hard class within itself!

Pretty tough, covers a lot of material in one class. On the first day of the semester, we went through TWO chapters! Just read in advance and you will do fine. Her class is virtually memorization. Can be a bit standoffish. I emailed her after missing one class to ask what I missed and she said, "Go ask one of your classmates what you've missed."

In general Biosciences is just a hard subject regardless of the professor. But she does teach extremely fast, it's not good to miss class much. The tests are pretty hard. But overall she was an ok teacher

Dr. Lundell was an AWESOME professor! She's very smart and is a great teacher. She explains a lot of things in simple terms so you can get a full understanding of it. Since she is a geneticist, her tests are mostly genetics based and very difficult. However, if you study a lot and do the iClicker questions you should do well in the class.

Be prepared for heavy textbook reading. If you want an A, you are likely going to be reading the textbook cover to cover. Genetics is too dense to cover in class. I spent consistent all nighters before the test, its brutal, man. Strange curve however. I-clickers are good portrayal of the upcoming test. Office hours we're uncomfortable.

Attendance is not mandatory but HIGHLY recommended. iClicker points will save you on the exams. Yes, this class is difficult. No, she is not a bad professor. You get what you put into it, so as long as you study you will do well.

Great professor, she knows her stuff. She also tries her best to make the material somewhat easier to understand. Show up to class the I-clicker points are bonus on your tests. Also READ the chapters.

The material itself is hard. Just read, and look at videos on youtube, and make study groups. Anything and everything helps. The upside is that she adds clicker points from class sessions to your tests which is a huge help! I do feel more comfortable in Lundell's class than in Jaffe's, which was significantly different. (I transferred 2 weeks in)

It has been a crazy hard semester but this class definatly took the cake. She gives long lectures and lots of notes. if or when you find your self failing she will hold helpfull tutoring sesions by invitation only.

For everyone taking the class, read the book. Basic Biology will be difficult no matter what professor. Easy to pass if you read and attend her class.

I really liked Lundell, she didn't hold your hand and didn't spoon feed you the answers. She was the perfect level of difficulty. I earned an A on each test without clicker points.

Took her for Bio 1404. Of course the class was difficult but considering Bio 1404 is a weed out class I gotta say i did pretty good and it thanks to Dr. Lundell. There is no question i would have failed the class had i not attended all of her lectures. She is a really good teacher. Class is tough but she is a really good teacher.

Dr. Lundell is not a terrible teacher but reading before classes will help tremendously. She goes into detail but not much, the rest has to come from the reading. ALWAYS go to class in order to get iClicker points, its usually what will help you get a letter grader higher than you would have otherwise. Make sure you know the info inside and out!

Prof. Lundell is a really tough teacher. You HAVE to read to pass her class. It is do-able though. She gives you help when you ask for it, but you HAVE to ask for it. Her lectures are good and she asks a lot of i-clicker questions so you get extra points. She curves her tests when she needs to but they're still difficult tests. Overall good class!

READ READ READ

Tests are worded difficultly. Everything other than tests are pretty easy in this class.

The tests are made by the whole biology department and are pretty difficult. She has office hours so I would recommend using them. Additionally, I would advise anyone taking her classes to attend daily as she gives extra credit that can bump up your test grades a whole letter. I would also recommend that you read the textbook before class.

She's helpful and clear. It's a gateway course for bio majors. It's not necessarily supposed to be a cakewalk. Aside from tests I maybe went to 3 lectures. She gives clicker questions that I'm certain would have earned me an A if i had shown up. Genetics isn't my thing and I managed a B. An A is definitely manageable. Buy study guide w book.

Lundell makes you work for your grade FORSURE. STUDY PRACTICE EXAMS, she'll just change some numbers, or change 1 word around so if you know the practice test like the back of your hand, you'll definitely get a B on the tests, then an A with iclicker. Iclicker is EC on tests. GREAT in office hours. Her chapter objectives are super helpful too.

If you're taking Genetics and you want to retain the information for the mcat then I suggest you take her. She really wants you to take a hold of your own learning. The textbook saved my life. She's very helpful in office hours too. You have to study and read really hard for the tests. She gives extra questions in class that'll bump your test grade

Her class is one that requires some effort but is definetly worth the money that you pay to learn. I did average on three of the test and bombed one, went to her office hour for her help over the test that I bombed, and did really well on the final and finished with an A. She is really a great professor, who really cares if her students learn.

Professor Lundell is the best Genetics professor at UTSA. Yes, she makes you work very hard for your grade, but you will be better for it come preparing for the MCAT. Trust me, you will know every aspect of Genetics. She is very supportive during her office hours. Once you get to know Professor Lundell you want to do good in her class.

Professor Lundell is very intelligent and she knows her stuff, but her class is not at all easy. Its a lot of material to cover and very complex topics to understand. You will actually need to take time out of your day and study for this class if you want a good grade. Does use iClicker for attendance and points go towards exams. Overall good.

Prof Lundell is not as bad as the other reviews say. She is fair, but the course is difficult. She provides extra credit, helps you extensively if you reach out, and WANTS you to ask questions about the current quiz. Don't slack off and put effort into it from the beginning. This course is a stepping stone for the more difficult classes.

I took her intro to genetics course during COVID. Difficult and text heavy subject for sure. However Lundell provides many many extra credit opportunities. Her video lectures are asynchronous and very very detailed. I recommend watching them a few times to fully grasp every details. She a fair professor and is held with very high honor at UTSA.

I took Dr. Lundell Spring 2021 during COVID. Her lectures are very thorough but you need to read the book and really study to pass her tests. They are difficult but only if you slack off. She is EXTREMELY fair and her extra credit is amazing. Don't expect it to be easy though, you have to study for those extra points as well. Tests are timed.

Prof Lundell is fair in grading and gives many opportunities for extra credit. The weekly bonus quizzes are a lifesaver. You can get an A if you work hard and listen to her lectures along with reading the book. Also, make sure to go over her practice exams before the exam day because they are very similar to the actual exam.

There are LOTS of extra credit opportunities that can bump test scores up to 2 letter grades. Lundell's quizzes are far more difficult than the exams but there is no time limit and you have multiple days to take them. Her actual exams are very similar to the practice exams she has.

If you work you get the grade you want. Extra credit is amazing

The class will be difficult if you don't have a good foundation in biology / basic math. Lundell will NOT give you an easy A. And she often covers concepts very quickly. But she is more than willing to help if you ask her. Her study sessions + reading the textbook saved me. She gives tons of practice problems which closely resemble the actual exam

She is very fair with opportunities(tons of extra credit, available a lot outside of class, quick to respond to emails, practice exam is like the real exam), but her teaching style is not too good. A lot of stuff relies on lecture, which sucks because there's no recorded lectures. Read the textbook and make a study group if you want to do well.
