A good teacher will explain information thoroughly; a great teacher will then challenge you to use what you have learned effectively. This isn't a history class, it's not about remembering facts. It's about critical thinking and preparing for a career in science. If that doesn't sound awesome, then you may want to rethink your major. TAKE HER.

I took Professor Masse's online 8-week course and it was really good! I got a good grade and she made things super easy and she was always accessible outside of office hours if you needed help. Tests and quizzes are open book! This class is easy to take with other harder classes or even other 8-week classes. Not too much due each week.

Honestly did not like this class at all. Way too many assignments and too time consuming. The online textbook sucks and doesnt help with open book quizzes or studying for tests at all. Dont take this class if you already have a heavy semester. I will not be taking her again. One week youll have 2 assignments, the next will be 6. Ridiculous.

I would not take Professor Masse again. I feel that she is not clear in her directions for assignments. She also docked points off of assignments that were correct according to her directions. There are no study guides for the tests and there is a lot of information in the chapters. READ!

Professor Masse really cares that you understand and enjoy biology. She is very passionate about what she teaches and you can tell. She is very responsive and helpful to any concerns and questions. Her non-majors classes do not have unit exams and the chapters quiz are open book and multiple attempts. The quizzes are over 2-3 chapters and openbook.

Very nice/helpful professor. Allows you one late assignment and extra credit. I took the 4 week online nutrition course and just finished with an A. Quite a bit of work because its a short class but very easy. Tests are easy as well and as long as you stay on top of due dates you should be fine.

You switch back & forth between 3 assignments due one week and 5 due the next. It is all very easy work, just can be time consuming. You can retake your weekly quizzes up to 3 times, and they are open book. Even missing 5 assignments throughout the whole semester, I still finished with an A. Her responses are super fast, and she's eager to help.

AMAZING PERSON AND PROFESSOR! She had incredible lectures and was very thorough and kind. Very understanding. As long as you pay attention in class you will do great. She will help you outside of class and understands that you are more than a student. PLEASE TAKE HER CLASS YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!! P.S. She's very organized too!

Professor Willis was a great instructor. Her style is a bit wild. However, she covers a great deal of ground quickly and in a way that is easy to understand. As long as you pay attention, show up to lectures and lab, and practice what she tells you, you will succeed in her class.

Great lectures just be sure to take notes so you can stay on track. Lecture quizzes online once a week based on what you learned. Easier to understand lectures versus other science classes I've taken. Lab once a week which she is very helpful with. Would take again!

Prof. W is the goat. Even though I HATE Bio, she was one of the best prof I've had. Her lectures are not required, but if you miss one be prepared to be confused. Same for labs. If you miss lab, you can drop that one or your lowest lab grade if you attended all of them. Unit tests are on BlackBoard but they are timed and you cant go back. 9/10 dope

She doesn't accept late work and also won't let you complete assignments ahead of time unless the unit with those assignments is already open. I had to complete about 6 assignments in the 4 days leading up to my wedding when I got married and was leaving for a week. There's also quite a lot of tests and reading. Good prof, not very accommodating.

Overall Professor Willis is an amazing professor!!! You have around 5 assignments a week which a very simple to understand and her grading is very fair. She will drop your lowest lab, test, and quiz score at the end of the semester. Overall I very much so enjoyed this class and would take any class by professor Willis again!

Prof. Willis is an amazing teacher. She brings a great attitude to her class each and every day and shares that with her students. Lectures are very informative and easy to follow along with. There was only one lecture homework per week that takes 30min-1hr. There really is not much to do other then study and learn the material.

Professor Masse's nutrition class is manageable with consistent effort. The workload is time-consuming but straightforward. Utilizing unstuck ai along with the open-book quizzes helped me stay on top of the material. Overall, an informative class worth taking.

This is more of an evaluation of the class than the professor. Nutrition is not a hard class, per se, but the amount of material in a short time left me frustrated and annoyed. I had tons of busy work but I learned very little. Be prepared for 5-6 assignments due every week for 8 weeks. All tests are open book, so that helped a lot.

She was fine, the class was okay. She is very easy to get in touch with, and the amount of work was appropriate to the class; while there was a lot (especially including extra credit), all of it was relevant and she is reasonably flexible. That said, this class felt not exactly academic and she is not actually in the nutrition world.

She's highly passionate and receptive with students and makes lectures digestible, enjoyable, and funny, lol. Attendance isn't required but she's always made me highly motivated to attend class. I enjoyed every second of the class. I encourage everyone to take her class. Lovely professor.

WHAT AN AMAZING CLASS!! It is a lecture-heavy class, but she makes it so engaging that it is hard not to pay attention. ALSO, she gives out lecture notes that you fill in as she is going over the lecture. She is by far my favorite professor here at TCC. Even if biology hasn't been your strongest class, it definitely will be your best after Willis.

I used to hate science. However, once you meet Mrs. Willis, your life will forever be changed. She cares about her job, students, and their academic well-being. She was extremely helpful, worked with me throughout the semester, and in a class I expected to get a B or C in I am on track to getting an A. She makes this class so MUCH fun! Take her!:)
