Honestly this class wasn't hard for those who had prior knowledge for biology; however, I can see why those with no prior knowledge struggled in this class. Reviews for the exams weren't helpful so you must read the book. She moves really fast during lectures and often ends class early. Overall this class wasn't too bad but it could've been better.

First and foremost this is an Intro to BIOL class for Science Majors. There is a reason why there are two kinds. Dr.Ganga gets an A+ She cares for her students even if they act snotty with her. She gives her students plenty of chances with bonuses and office hours to make a good grade. People who did bad in this class only have themselves to blame

Professor Ganga was amazing as a professor and really passionate in her lectures. She cares for her students and is really funny. I came into class scared, but she is honestly so inspiring. Her test are generally hard but is everything that is given in the review. Overall I will take her class again, she made my semester so much fun.

I took Dr. Ganga during Summer I & she is honestly one of the greatest professors I have ever taken. If you can memorize her lecture powerpoints you'll do fine on the exam. You can see she really cares abt her students & what she teaches. She's very passionate. She gives extra Credit so SHOW UP TO CLASS. She made a really difficult class enjoyable.

great and nice teacher but seems to have a low voice when lecturing, i sat at the front and voice recorded her lectures and still cant hear some of what she said. she is a bit helpful when it comes to labs and tests, tests are made way harder than they should be. Gives alot of extra credit for exams which really boosted my grade up alot

She's really passionate about what she does & she cares for her students. Attend lectures, go through her powerpoints, and use the review she gives!

The online class is time consuming, but easy to manage if you follow the due dates. If you take this class online pls be aware you have to buy a science kit thatll cost you $120. Other than that I liked both courses I took from professor Ganga. She worked well with us and was understanding due to the pandemic. Extended due dates for us.

Professor Mrudula is a great professor. She is very quick with emails. She cares about students. She is flexible with due dates if you be reasonable with her. The only thing is she will give you a lot lab and lecture assignments. So be ready to study and do assignments on time she will give you good feedback and grades. Recommend it to everyone.

So, I have taken all of my core classes at Richland college, all online! I usually visit this site before registering for classes and saw the great reviews so I decided to take her.

I can't say enough good things about her! Most labs take 30 minutes or less the homework quizzes are easy and everything is laid out for you at the beginning of the semester! She sends you reminder emails to help keep you on track. You do have to be present and try but it's easy stuff! I took her for both science classes and got an A! TAKE HER!

I just recently took her Non-Majors Bio class this Fall 2020. It was ok for a science class. Strict deadlines and she was firm on no extensions. 4 tests + a final, but she always give weekly ppts and final reviews. Quick tests, 50 min for 50 questions, just be sure to study before. Low on extra surprise work, mostly every week was the same.

I took Dr. Ganga for BIOL 1406 may-mester. I know these classes go quick but the amount of work was DOUBLE a normal class. For reference, there are 61 (YES, 61!!!) different grades: 13 learning assignments, 13 hw, 13 quizzes, 4 exams, 12 labs, 5 DBs, AND a final exam. It is overwhelming, excessive, and the work was hard. I do not recommend.

she isn't the worst professor, but she definitely isn't the best either. compared to other professors, you'll become doubtful of her teaching method. the entire lecture and half the lab will be her constantly lecturing with NO breaks. plus, she only reads off the slides with a few side notes. she's very nice, but she can and WILL catch an attitude.

I truly enjoyed Dr. Ganga's A&P class. The greatest thing about this course was how easy it was to follow the assignments and how she kept us updated prior to every single due date with email reminders. I was a few points shy from an A and she allowed me to complete an essay to obtain an A! I will be forever grateful for her kindness.

Took A&P2 online due to pandemic. Prof. really did not do anything. Textbook & ppt's provided online. It's on u on how u understand & memorize it. Had 2 search on my own for videos for explanations b/c in this class it's more like ur on your own. I barely kept a C in this course. Pick a diff. prof if u can rather than this one for online A&P2

I really dont anything negative to say about this class or the professor. Your able to complete your work a head of time, it is plenty of study material to prep you for the test. I actually took this class online working a 40+ hour a week job in healthcare so It can be done. She does email you back in a timely manner & will take her class again

Very unsympathetic if computer issues occur. Took it as an online course. When following the online etiquette, she is still unforgiving of any issues that may transpire. Find another professor. No study guidelines provided as well so you're wonder aimlessly.

Her lectured were good and engaging. She was super funny. 10 pre-lab, 13 homework's, 3 lab practical and 4 lecture exams, including final.

This professor is great she gives you the material as long as you study you will pass. This class does require the Respondus Lockdown Browser when taking all Lab Practical's/ Exams. If you do not know what Respondus is it pretty much prevents you from opening any documents, new tabs, and switching browsers. The assignments are easy.

Dr. Ganga is AWESOME! I just took the maymester with her and it was just the right amount of work. She pretty much always responds to emails within an hour. I will say, there is quite a bit of reading for this course, but I am sure it is more manageable when you have the whole semester. She gives extremely detailed instructions.

This professor does not care about your outside life. She is very strict on deadlines. The timings that assignments are due vary by assignment (some could be 9pm, 10pm, etc.) so it gets difficult to manage that. There are 7 lockdown browser tests with camera and microphone and only 1 attempt. There's only 1 extra credit assignment. Good luck!
