too much too study i had to drop! difficult exams way too hard...sorry!

I took this in the summer. Tons of information in a short amount of time. You have to be willing to commit to studying if you want to do well (it is possible, but it's not an easy class). Super nice woman and very intelligent.

I hated this class, but if you stick w/it, it really teaches you how to be a good student. She's a great instructor, dedicated & sacrifices alot of her personal time to help her students. But to be clear, there are no breaks in her class. You have to work your butt off.

here's how i see it, all the people that gave this extremely dedicated and intelligent woman a bad review didnt pass her class because they wanted to slack off. yes, she does demand a lot but you know about it the first day of class!!! took this class in the fall received a D, just getting ready to finish in the spring and i have an A. great prof:)

Great Professor! She is ALWAYS willing to help. Don't let the first day scare you off. Once you get in the habit of studying it becomes easy!

oh yeah I remember her two years ago, she was cool. kinda hard but i got a B. i thought she was pretty hot but then she had a kid I think. i like the fact that she was hispanic and had dr. in front of her name i think. oh yeah baby! anyways besides me drooling over her, she knows her stuff,was very helpful and I recommend her.

the class is very hard. she expects alot from her students, BUT she is always willing to help. she loves what she does and it really shows in her teaching. she cares and really wants her students to succeed. i highly recommend her. best teacher ive ever had! studying is a must. if i have the opportunity i will take her class again. learned a lot.

Dr. G tells you her expectations from the beginning. She may seem intimidating, but she's very open, honest, helpful, and above all, fair. She is very thorough and she prepares you for University life. If you're a BIO major or you're going into the medical field, I highly recommend her.

I was so intimidated by the workload and her expectations that I almost dropped. I am so glad I did not! I got an A. She knows the real world is not that easy. She did not give it to me for nothing, I had to work my butt off, but I felt so good, like I actually achieved and learned a lot because of it. She's awesome! Go Dr. G! :)

Dr. G is definitly a difficult teacher, shes not going to hand you a good grade and make life easy for the semester.you will need to work your butt off, but its all worth it at the end. although shes difficult, she never hesitates to help. very approachable and easy to talk to..dont be intimidated. Passing her class is the most awesome feeling!!!!!

Tests are Multiple choice (a,b,c,d,e,ab,cd,de) (all of the above, 1 of the above, 2 of the above, etc.), Matching, T/F, Essay (subjective grading), etc. Do not take her class w/ any other subject or don't take her class at all if you can help it. I worked way too hard to get a good grade. Half of the final you have to study on your own.....

Hardest class Ive ever taken! If you want to get an A or B study everything. Be prepared to give up your life before taking her because youre going to be in seclusion. Even though she's hard, she'll prepare you for any program...I highly recommend her.

She's a very nice person...but the class is really hard and she's a very tough grader! Her lectures are clear but if your looking for an A or B in this class look elsewhere this is the hardest I ever worked for a grade and I still didn't cut it.

She is very nice and willing to help you. However, she is also a difficult teacher. She loves her field and it shows, but she is a great professor. Bio is a hard subject in general so that accounts for some claims about her. But she makes it as easy as possible while not just handing grades out. She is does what teachers should do well, teach!

Dr. G is the nicest most willing to help teacher I have had. Her class is no cake walk. It requires a lot of time and personal dedication. But that's Biology. She is wiling to help you as much as she can and wants to see you succeed if you are willing to stick with it! :)

Took Dr. G in Winter for Health Science 1. She was kinda hard, because she is originally a Microbiology and Biology professor. Like her class alot, the A I got was very satisfying because I worked my butt off for it. Very cool teacher, willing to help everyone! Extra Credit was available quite a bit.

She was amazing. I admired her willingness to make you internalize the concepts. I took her Biology class a year and a half ago and I thought I was going to die! She is difficult, but I respect her. I dropped her class because I had too much going on, but if she's still teaching next year I will take her again. =]

Dr. G. was one of the most amazing instructors I've ever had. All of you who complain about her being too hard, and never being able to pull off a good grade with her...well let me tell you something. I took four other demanding classes right along with Biology, and I earned a B+. I worked my butt off for it, so yes, it IS possible. She is defini

Dr. G has got to be one of the smartest professors I've ever had. Her class was fun, and she's so passionate about biology. It's no cake walk, the class is very tough, and requires a lot of work, but the only people who didn't pass are probably the ones who barely studied. I would definitely take this teacher again.

Dr. G is an amazing teacher. She is absolutely brilliant and she is very willing to stay after or meet in her office to clarify anything that was unclear. Her class is pretty difficult, but you end up learning so much. Her tests are hard, but she has a study guide available on her website. Tests are taken from lecture notes. Very good teacher.

Study AT LEAST 20hours per week and u should be fine.

this class is really interesting. if you do the work you will get a good grade i think that she makes science easier to understand if you are willing to dedicate youself

This teachers actually not that bad.she's very hard no doubt about that I've never had to study as hard in other classes but..she's funny and her whole life is based on bio she loves it!and u see that when she teaches and it helps u want learn I honestly learned a lot. So she's a good teacher but VERY HARD!so take her you'll learn but u wont pass

Excellent Professor,really knows her subject and is very professional at teaching biology. I took Human Genetics for fun, and learned a lot! I even changed my major to Biology. The material can get a bit challenging and her tests are quite hard, but overall I ended up with an A. Just study everyday! simple as that.

Had her for Micro, this is an extremely hard subject. Her tests and quizzes are very hard but if you study 4 hours a day you should be fine. Use her office hours and go for any extra credit she gives. She is an awesome professor and you learn so much in her class! So glad I took her!

This is a difficult professor, but if you do the study guides and keep up with them, there is no way you can fail. You will use the textbook everyday. I learned more than what I expected. Good class, good teacher :)

Great professor, you will learn a lot. Lectures are great, but you must study on your own. Luckily the book is very easy to read and grasp. Stay on top of things and prof Gutierrez will help add to what you are learning on your own. Highly recommend. Do your job as a student, talk to her (she is nice), and you will get a B like me, or higher.

Dr. G. is by no means an easy teacher. She expects A LOT out of the students. I do believe that she is a great teacher and wants us all to do well. I think the class is hard but you will feel good in the end if you've done your job. It can be done. I am halfway trough the semester.. so we shall see.

If you want to be spoonfed answers and questions for the test, do not bother taking her. If you are here to learn and want to do well in PA or Nursing school then I highly recommend her. Several opportunities for extra credit. Once you get the hang of her style its just reading and ALOT of memorization. She is great overall!

The class itself is hard with lots of complicated material. This Professor makes the class really interesting and puts a personal take on Biology. Amazing Professor who gives you every opportunity to succeed in her class. If you do everything she says you have to do, you'll easily pass the class with an A or B.

She is awesome! I enjoyed every class! She is not easy, but nothing in science is! She knows what she is talking about. She is very helpful at explaining the ideas and concepts. She is very hardworking and it shows!!!

Dr. G is a great professor. She makes you think critically. At first I didn't like her teaching style, but I got used to it. I know that after taking her class I am ready for a career in the health profession. I would advise her class only if it is the only class you are taking. I studied literally everyday for 2-3 hours. Her office hrs are helpful

Great Teacher! Hard work but an A is obtainable

Ms. G is a very good teacher happy to teach the students. She is willing to help if you ask for it, But very hard. if you are going to take her class make sure it's the only one you are taking. You will have alot of work to do outside class. If you don't do the homework you will not pass.

Gutierrez is an amazing instructor! She is very tough but will gladly answer questions and is very helpful! She loves to see her students succeed! Strongly suggest her!

Dr. G will WORK you to the bone and you'll be a better student because of it. She's a great teacher, but her class is extremely time consuming, so be prepared to have zero social life if you're planning on getting anything higher than a C. Read the textbook, complete all of the extra credit, and utilize her office hours if you're stuck.

I liked Dr. Gutierrez. She is really smart and knows what she is taking about. However, her tests are pretty rough and there is so many mastering bio assignments due. Also, all the assignment work mostly has to be googled because it is not in the book. Lecture is not mandatory but Lab is. Extra credit saved me at the end and reading helps ALOT.

This woman is brilliant. I took her class in the Fall. I learned so much that it really is making me want to change my career.

Dr.G is a pretty good teacher. If you really study the powerpoints and actualy understand the concept you should do okay on the test. She pretty much makes questions from the powerpoint. There is a crazy amount of homework so I would only take 3 classes maybe even 2.

I don't know what everyone is talking about. The mastering is done before class to get you ready for class and lab. You can find the lab answers in her biochem test powerpoint. She really cares and work with you, also, she's open to meeting with you to talk about how to improve your grade. She knows her stuff!! Best science teacher I've taken.

I felt like there was a lot of work as far as the Mastering Bio website, but Dr. G doesn't assign homework really. She does have study guides on her website which are life savers for her tests and has the power points available too. She LOVES biology and wants you to love it and understand it too. I would love to have her again.

Amazing professor. Influenced my decision to major in biology. You will learn A LOT from her. Requires studying, you can't wing this class.

I'll admit that I was one of the people who thought Dr. G was nuts for thinking we were capable of all the hard work she gave us. Then she made me realize that I'M nuts for thinking I was incapable! Dr. G not only teaches you biology, she teaches you how to be a good student. She makes you realize you're more capable that what you even imagined.

If you're willing to put in the time for this class then you'll get a good grade in this class. It's loads of work, but it's worth it and prepares you if you're planning on transferring to a 4-year uni. Her powerpoints are self-explanatory so there's not much for her to teach and all the time they reflect what's gonna be on the test. (DO THE EC!!!)

Best professor ever!!! Dr.G expects a lot from her students. She is very helpful and loves when students go to her office to ask for help also you can expect to have no life while taking her class.

Dr. G is an amazing professor. She tries to act tough but she really wants her students to succeed. She is very passionate about what she does, and she passes that on to her students. Its not an easy class by all means, she wants you to work. But she celebrates successes and I'm going to make sure I get her for my microbiology class!

Its a rough class at first, but Mrs. G really helps you have makes bio easier! Her lectures are important and helpful! You have a lot of exams and lab exam but it helps because if you don't do the best in one of them, then you can make it up! She seems tough but once you get into the semester she is really funny! Lots of extra credit given!!!

This class requires a lot of time and effort, so as to understand the material. Dr G helped me a lot, each time I go to her office. And i must say, she's a nice professor! I took 4 classes, including Bio, and I got an A. I loved this class. The lectures was fun. Take DR G!

I have heard a lot of bad reviews about this Dr. G but trust me she is an amazing person. Always available for help her students. Give respect to her students. Overall I like her class. I learnt a lot.

Dr. G was great to take during this pandemic. I took 2 other science courses & although I got a B I could have obtained an A if I would have figured how to study for her mini quizzes sooner. From the beginning you have to be on you A game in this class. Lecture are great, lab was fun learned a lot & she gives extra credit. Totally recommend her !!

she provides study guides ahead of time, gives access to pre-recorded lectures. she is available outside of lecture. she amazingly all the content for the lecture, lab, and diseases to help us because it will feel overwhelming at first.if you are looking for an easy A, this is not it. She is big on critical thinking and learning metrics conversion

Last minute our designated professor had to take a leave of absence and thankfully Dr. G stepped in to teach our class. She will scare you on the first day with her class expectations but that is because she wants us to be the best medical professionals. She made the lecture fun and I finished the class being more knowledgeable & confident.

Very detailed exams, yells at the class often. She offers some extra credit but you'll have to work for it. An A is possible but it's the hardest Ive ever had to work. if you take her, READ THE TEXTBOOK METICULOUSLY, don't ignore lecture. You'd probably only have to do half the work with a different professor for micro so take someone else tbh

She was amazing! I am so glad I took this class with her. The class is tough, and she WILL push you mentally, but it is so that you can one day be the best healthcare professional you can be. An A is possible, you just have to put in the work. The class is busy. She is more than fair on assignments/grading and always willing to help her students.

I really liked her, but her class is no joke. Her exams are difficult and detailed and she grades tough, but she is also very generous and offers extra credit occasionally - you just have to work for it! I took this class along with BIO-50B, which I would not recommended, but it is doable. You have to be dedicated or you will not succeed with her.

Great professor and extremely knowledgable. Extremely test heavy in both lab and lecture. She wants you to know how the "right answer" on a test question works. Gives plenty of EC opportunities and solid feedback. Biggest advice is to study heavily. I hadn't studied like this since HS (11 years ago) and barely escaped with a B. Not an easy class.

Dr. G is the best professor! The class isn't easy but she makes it so fun. I was never bored in her 7am class. She expects a lot out of her students and the tests are challenging but she really cares about her students and truly wants them to succeed. She gives lots of extra credit opportunities, you just have to work for it. Definitely take her!

Professor Gutierrez's class is no walk in the park, but if you put in the work, an A is possible. Her exams are tough, but she offers extra credit. I found unstuckstudy and the textbook essential for study prep.

Dr. G class is very tough and expects alot out of her students! But if you put in the work and reachout for help she will guide you into the right direction to pass this class. She provided alot of resources with her office hours and tutoring from previous students. I truly believe she helped me become a better student!
