good teacher

Terrible teacher, goes through way too much material way too fast, pronounces things wrong and makes mistakes in the PowerPoint all the time.

The worst teacher I've had so far in college. She takes weeks to give you your grades back, is very lecture heavy, does not give specific study guides so you have to study everything which is a lot, not quiet sure what her criteria for grading assignments is and is constantly making spelling and grammar mistakes which can make tests confusing.

I had her for my lab as well, she graded me worse than my peers who had other professors for the same work. She NEVER grades on time and uses a strict rubric that kills your grade for small mistakes. She is okay at lecturing but they can get boring quick. Overall, would not recommend.

Just terrible, if you love your life, dont take her

Absolutely impossible workload to manage weekly with other classes. Grades were not submitted until the last possible moment so we as students did not realize if we were or were not doing well in the class. Had typos in almost every assignment, did not specify enough in assignments, etc. Overall very difficult for a one credit course.

Drowns students in unnecessary work with typos and long youtube videos instead of spending her time doing her literal job and grading in a timely manner. Complete hypocrite in terms of what she expects vs. the effort she puts in as a professor. If she can't even grade the work by end of the semester then why is she assigning so much for 1 credit?

There's so much work in this class that I didn't have time to learn anything

Be prepared to not know what your grades are until the end of the semester. She takes months to grade everything, and when you do get grades back, the feedback is confusing. She doesn't explain why she takes points off. There are 4 big assignments, weekly quizzes and 4 quarterly assessments. And the two project pieces were awful. Don't recommend.

Avoid unless you want a weight to lower your GPA!!! Her lectures are quick and entertaining, but her tests often go over material never covered in class or the optional textbook. She is genuinely nice, but her tests and projects make the class horrible. Getting an "A" feels like the New York Lottery

Makes assignments far too complex for everyone and even her to grade. In the last week of the semester, she graded 90% of the assignments. Students had no idea what their grade was throughout the course. She grades inconsistently and way too harsh, and complicates simple biology concepts. Loves to make excuses talkin bout how many students she has.

She was awful, I did not get most of my grades back until the last day before grades were due. She also makes tests and projects confusing with useless questions, some you don't know anything about and some where the grammar and spelling make it difficult to understand. She is a sweet person, but a bad professor.

I didn't have professor Weatherall as my lab professor, but she wrote the curriculum and worksheets-- long, tedious, often grammatically catastrophic worksheets. Only a small portion of the worksheet would be read and graded. Your classmates will be your biggest help.

Workload from the professor is double that of any of my other courses. It should be worth six credits instead of four. You need can't just read the textbook and watch the videos and expect to know the answers to quizzes, exams, and assignment questions. There's a presentation too in case all of that other stuff wasn't enough.

She's a nice person but the workload was insane for a 3 credit class. Nothing gets graded and the tests are ridiculous.

To her defense she seems to be a newer professor. Despite that I cannot recommend taking her class. She penalizes late assignments yet doesn't grade anything until the semester is almost over. Tests frequently have typos and some of the questions may be unclear. Too much work for an intro level class.

Objectively bad, but it's an online class. Discard your integrity because it won't serve you well with her. Don't wait for her to provide feedback on project proposals because you won't get them until after the project is already due.

Class is fine but I do not understand the professors issue with grading on time. It is April and stuff from February is just now getting graded. We have had over 20 assignments that are still not graded. You get no feedback on module assignments or project proposals before the exams If you are interested in the class take it, just not with her.

She has so many spelling/grammar errors in everything- assignments, exams, project overviews, that it makes it very hard sometimes to even know what she is saying. Sometimes she is not even asking a question! There is a lot of work, and she takes forever to grade. Very confusing waste of time overall.

This class has more work than my other classes combined (taking 5 other classes in a hard major). She doesn't grade anything on time, then blames it on personal problems. She's mostly only available to meet early mornings (8am) and was late when I did meet with her. Labs are longer than they say, and I've barely learned anything bc no feedback.

She did not return our first quarterly assessment grades until well after taking our second quarterly assessment, only a week before taking the third quarterly was the first grade released and still, we as a class are waiting on our second quarterly grades. This makes preparing for the assessments very difficult I would avoid this class.

This class is ridiculously more difficult then it needs to be for a GenEd class. The professor didn't grade our first assessment until weeks after the second one. All we do in class is arts and crafts and in order to get any learning done you need to teach yourself.

I'm a laid-back student, but missing grades bothered me. This professor promises to grade but never does. Labs often require extra purchases on top of the expensive lab kit and sometimes take days to complete with no warning. She is quick to add zeroes which creates a false sense of failure sense no other grades are even put in.

Incredibly slow grader. Still unsure how I am doing in the class due to her lack of grading. Received grades for tests well over a month after taking them. Lots of work for a genEd class. Avoid if possible the lack of feedback and grades is not worth it.

Hasn't released grades till last couple weeks in semester, doesn't return tests and has an insane amount of work for a final project. Final is new to this semester and she doesn't give much direction - no examples, just choose a bio topic and make a poster board I guess? Only ever emails after more than 24hrs for me and always at 11pm. DO NOT TAKE!

Took her 6+ weeks to grade Quarterly Exam #1, we got that back about a week after we took our second exam, and finally, after loads of student complaints, she graded our second and third ones the week of the fourth exam. If you want/need to take this course be prepared to have to teach yourself and get low grades.

The wifi connection in the woods is faster than her grading. It took her around more than a month to grade our first exam and she continued to exhibit this pattern for the following exams.

Lectures are very heavy, but somehow don't make much sense. She consistently promises to grade our quarterly exams, but then doesn't grade them. Our first exam (taken near the beginning of the semester), was not graded until way after the second exam was taken. This trend continued for the rest of the exams, until she was pressured to grade.

WORST TEACHER IVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE

I have no idea how I am doing in this class because it takes forever to receive any grades or feedback. If you are like me and just need to take a science credit to graduate, take one of the other courses available. It's too late for me but save yourselves!

She took forever to grade exams, its difficult to know what your grade in the class is, and she is very unhelpful in terms of feedback. My project group went to her for clarifications and questions about the final after she graded the proposal poorly, and she was very vague and unwilling to give clear answers.

She was incapable of doing her job. Exams took months to grade. Everyday in class was more of an arts and craft fair than any actual learning. Massive joke.

You will learn NOTHING from this class, you will send your time studying and being tested on class activities instead of biology concepts. You wont get your grades back for months I took three quarterly exams before getting my first grade back. The content in not hard but her lectures are so boring she makes it hard.

This course has been a major headache. Little/No Feedback on assignments submitted months ago. The free online textbook she provides does not match or even mention the stuff on her tests. The projects we must make are tedious and do not reflect what we are supposed to be learning in the modules. Save yourself time and take another science class.

She is a harsh grader and will assign quizzes every week, even the same week as an exam, with the quiz having nothing to do with it. She will also automatically grade you a 0 for any quiz missed, even if you have a good reason. Her labs are also weird and counterproductive, like the one where she asked students to touch hands.

This professor assigns an absurd amount of homework. So much so that she is unable to finish grading it even two months after the course has been completed. Her grading criteria is unclear and by the time you are given a final grade, its too late to argue or ask clarifying questions.

The 4 tests given are horrible and the long answer questions are just straight up weird. The projects make no sense and she is so meticulous as to how she wants them done. She takes forever to grade. Turned in a project proposal and expected feedback on it before I started it but nope. Got it back the SAME DAY it was due. Don't recommend her class.

Terrible. Very tough grader. Super long and boring lectures. Weekly quiz will cover things that arent taught during lecture. A lot of busy and useless work. Too much for an intro class.

I would strongly advise against this professor!! She does not grade anything until the last few weeks of the semester even when some projects require feedback. She graded exam one in December!!! She assigns ungodly amount of work for an low level class. Avoid her at all cost!!!!

Cannot give clear feedback. For the final project, she makes vague comments when asked for clarification. Grades short answers harshly. Even if you clearly understand the concept, if you don't say a word or neglect to mention something minor, she takes points off to bring your grade down, especially if you did well on multiple choice part.

Takes forever to grade (literally took her a month to give me the feedback on the project proposal), lectures have WAY too much information & she'll focus on the most random specific details.

Cannot give clear feedback, grades far too harshly for a general education class. Lectures are repetitive, takes an inappropriately long time to grade, so it's hard to know where you stand in the class. Should not be a professor, condescending and exams do not reflect the material from lecture.

Tough grader in a gen ed class for no reason

Difficult, assigns worksheets that are not relevant to the material yet are still graded by TAs (who often mess up the grading), grades short answers too harshly for a gen ed, speaks condescendingly, doesn't explain material as well as other instructors (of the same course).

Grades harshly and often incorrectly, test response expectations were inconsistent and extremely vague, and AI generated the prompt and guidelines for our final project. Prof Weatherell does not seem to respect her students whatsoever.

Lectures are not structured in a way that makes sense; activity sheets take up time where she could focus on content for exams, considering how harshly she grades test short answers. Does not appear to respect students, grades more harshly than the other GB2 professors. Cannot give clear feedback. Avoid at all costs.

This professor is awful. Though she seems helpful, not only does she use AI and is incredibly lazy with her questions, correction typos, etc. she is way too harsh of a grader and assigns way too much work for an intro class. avoid at all costs

12 total graded components (+ 1 extra credit assignment worth 0.01% of grade). 25% of my assignments were graded within the first 14 weeks of the course, the other 75% were graded in the last week. Turned in multiple assignments in the middle of October that didn't get graded until finals week in December.
