She is a nice person but it is really difficult to get a good grade. She just reads the notes that you already have and doesnt explain it. The tests are 75 questions and are hard with or without doing the obectives. She doesnt offer enough extra credit or help to boost your grade up. She just laughs and eats during the class.

One of my favorite teachers yet.she definitely explains everything very well and you can tell she is happy at what she does. She gives you theses study guides called objectives and if you do them you get +3 points extra credit plus they're basically the exam. Very helpful. She prefers most things emailed which is nice.

She is very passionate about teaching and will help any one of her students. She tries to make the classes fun and safe during COVID. I fully respected her and so did the other students. She gave us a textbook that was free online but you honestly never needed it b/c of the notebooks we had to buy (they were very helpful & had everything we needed)

Probably one of the best professors out there she cares about her students, and knows how to teach. If you miss a day she posts her lectures on YouTube where you can catch up she does assign a weekly discussion post but they are not difficult at all. She also gives lots of opportunities for extra credit. Her exams are just like her study guides.

Professor Zurawski is one of the best teachers I've had at Moraine. Though some of her criteria might be confusing at first and her lectures can occasionally come across as a little preachy, she always finds ways to draw your attention and keep you driven and invested in the topic at hand. Plus, she very clearly cares about her students.

Very flexible and willing to work with students. I didn't even know we had a textbook as her lectures, labs, and unit discussions will cover everything that will be on her exams. She provides a notes notebook that go along with her lectures which helps you learn so much better. She made me like bio again, after having a terrible prof last semester

This class was a little hard, it was a lot of work for a 101 class in my opinion, information that I feel should be for someone degree focused in science, nurse, etc. Though a lot of work she gives you everything you need and provides extra credit. I rented the book but you honestly can get by without it, she has a PDF book but I did not like it.

Great professor. Took this over the summer and it was an online 8-week course and it flew by. It is graded mostly on assignments and four major tests however they are open notes and if you follow the study guide you will pass with an A. They get back to you in a timely manner and are very flexible when turning things in late. communication is key.

THE BEST professor ever! Professor Z is highly knowledgeable, extremely enthusiastic, really funny, and cares so much about her students. I have never had a professor who really wants her students to succeed. I became a much better student due to her constant encouragement to study the right way - "train for the exams". Take her. Life changing.

Prof. Zurawski is a great teacher, not just for biology but for school in general and is constantly keeping in touch with you and your progress in her class. However, some of the test material is not covered on the study guide or in the provided textbook, and she can take some time to respond to emails.

I took professor Zurawski for BIO 112. The lectures felt really long but the labs were fun and flew by quickly. She has such an amazing personality. She is always there to help you. The exams can seem tough but once you get used to her exam style they are not too bad. I would def recommend taking her classes.

I was entirely terrified of taking this class, but Prof Zurawski made it very easy for me. All textbooks and necessary books were given to you for free via Canvas, so no cost after enrolling in the class. Always helpful if you need it. I made mistakes (like forgetting to take a pic of my lab) and she was super understanding.

She's a great professor who really cares about her students and wants them to succeed. You're only graded on exams, objectives, and labs. She gives 3 extra credit points for each exam. With practicals, if you get anything wrong she allows you to go back and fix any errors. She's a tough grader when it comes to labs though.

Very sweet and caring. Do not solely rely on objectives for tests, review your entire notebook! She is very helpful and understanding but you need to put in effort to get the grade you want. Do not slack off in the beginning because it will really mess up your grade. Labs are incredibly easy and self explanatory. Highly recommend Zurawaski

Prof. Zurowski is by far one of the sweetest teachers at Moraine. You can get away with not doing the best on a few practicals and tests and pass with an A as long as you get on track. The only thing that you'll struggle in with this class is the objectives because they take so much time so try to do it gradually. Labs are very easy and a fs A.

You have to work in this class, don't get me wrong, but it seriously isn't as much as you think it is. If you just sit down and get it done ahead of time, you will have the EASIEST time. Amazingly lenient grader and all of the exams are open note (even if you have to use honorlock). I hate science, and I honestly loved this class. TAKE IT ONLINE!!!

This was the most organized online class. Professor Zurawski is so nice and responds quickly. At first you think the class is going to be a lot of work but if you follow the due dates it isn't bad at all and you can work ahead which was helpful since I also work full time and have kids. This class was actually fun. I highly recommend her online.

I would have dropped this class and quit college if it wasn't for Professor Zurawski. Before the class even started she spent about 10 hours late at night with me through video chat showing me where everything was because I was terrified. She convinced me I could do this when I did not believe in myself. She is a blessing. I even got an A.

Her lectures are structured so that if you show up you will have all the content on the test. She is witty, funny, and kind. The passion for her job is evident. Her explanations are clear and not muddled by the complexity of the field. Ex. This is how XYZ works. There are other components to X, like A and B, but for now, focus on XYZ.

Great professor who enforces the class rules without being overbearing. On top of that she's nice and posts lectures online if you're absent. She bases her objectives on our notes and if you put in the effort she'll give you a good grade. Making study groups helps a lot as the practicals also need studying, not just the exams. She's worth taking fs
