This was her first time teaching a college course and she did great! I would definitely take her again. Clear lectures and fair grading. Show up to class and study her powerpoints and you'll do great.
Wonderful professor. She's so sweet and one of the best bio teachers. I took her in the summer and it was an amazing class to learn from. She's spectacular :D
Thoroughly enjoyed Biology with Ms. Carreon, Lectures & Lab were always enjoyable. Study the lecture powerpoints intensively and you'll do fine.
Cool teacher she is the bomb dot com, read powerpoints wished she would just give us study guides for the quizzes. overall would date hehe xd its just a prank
she is a cool teacher, whom makes you work hard. Study for all your quizzes and turn in all your work and the test will be no problem.
great teacher, makes you work hard. takes it little personal if you skip class but it won't effect your over all grade. study for all your quizzes and do all the work and you'll be set for the tests. an A in her class is totally do able, if you put in the work.
If you can take class with Nadia, DO IT! She is the BEST Bio teacher at STC. She is always in a good mood and has a very sweet personality and loves interacting with students. I was lucky enough to be in her first Fall semester class and her enthusiasm in the subject is so motivating. She is young, relatable, and really wants to help you pass.
Took her for bio 1409 and the class is manageable. 4 exams, a midterm and final. You will be fine as long as you study your quizzes; theres 1 after every chapter. Lab reviews after each chapter too. Theres also no extra credit. So beware. Overall, she can be nice and sarcastic at the same time. An A is very doable in her class.
Amazing professor! Her smile lights up the room. She is very sweet and caring. She shows she cares about her students and always keeps you updated on your grade. Test and quizzes are very important so make sure you stay for lecture! She makes you work for your grade but its very doable. Shes truly a great professor. She has it all! take her!
Professor Carreon is the best! If you get the chance to take her class, take it! You don't have to buy the textbook, only the lab manual. The majority of your grade will come from quizzes and exams. The exams are very similar to the quizzes, so make sure you do well on those. In lab, she only grades the hw, and gives helpful reviews for lab exams.
A real gem, so caring and loving for her students, wants to see everyone do great. It's a Bio class so it goes without saying, lecture heavy, she does try and go through them fairly quickly. Exams are very similar to the quizzes, lab homework is extremely easy, curves when needed, lab finals are hard but doable. You won't regret taking her!
I wouldnt recommend her at all. She very rude & unprofessional to the way that she speaks to students. She will overwhelm you with work and pretend like you have no life outside of the class nor cares if we have other classes with work as well. I would not recommend & she uses all the same work from the other teachers
Shes so sarcastic! She puts you too sleep when she lectures & if she sees you yawn she will literally tell you that if shes boring you that you can leave. The homework comes from the book & labs. Labs are boring. You have to study your notes!
Very rude professor, blames the students for everything. Telling her she failed to upload this weeks work - you're bothering her. If you don't tell her it's your fault. She's extremely unprofessional. Says the exams come from the quiz, they don't. I wouldn't take her again.
This teacher wont respond to emails and the work isn't available when she says it will be. each attempt is graded differently even though its the exact same questions and she wont bother answering.
Bad teacher if you are taking her online... she posts the assignments late anddoes not respond during school hours.
Shes the worst online professor Ive ever had. Not only does she forget to assign work at the beginning of the week, youll have to do 8+ assignments once she does. Dont bother asking her questions about class work, shell take it defensive and doesnt treat you with respect. Assigned so much work as if we dont have lives or other classes.
WORST professor i have ever taken. During this pandemic all other professors dropped a major exam and you would think this one would too but nope! She proceeded to give us a 100 question exam PLUS a research paper plus the other exams we had throughout the semester.
Imma get straight to the point. 4 exams 2 lab exams. each chapter and lab comes with a quiz and if you think it stops there, well bad news it doesnt. A research paper and a 100 question final exam. Oh and each exam and lab exam they are 50 questions each. Now i know why they dont put professors names when registering, because no one would get her
I would not recommend taking this professor. She assigns more than 10 assignments each week and some assignments may have 80 questions each. Her class consists of quizzes, 4 exams, two lab exams, and a final exam that consists of 100 questions!!! She provides no study guide and all her exams are webcam monitored.
Professor Carreon was exceptional. There were 5 exams plus a 100 question final. There were many quizzes as well, but if you pay attention to her lecture or reas the PowerPoint slides youre set. You will see questions from the quiz on the test. She was very respectful, laid back, and completely understanding. During COVID, she provided extensions.
I took her in person spring 2020 but when covid hit we transfered online. She's very nice, easily accessible to pronto if you had a question. if you pay attention and study the power point tests are easy. People complaining that she did not give a studyguide must have not studied the powerpoints because the test questions were basically on there.
Shes a good teacher! her final was repeat questions from past tests so its easy to pass. Adjusted well to transferring online to the pandemic. She does give quizzes and some lab reports.
Gives at least 3-5 assignments a week, at least on line. They are not hard but they are really time consuming each, at least an hour or more on each assignment worth 15%. She will assign you labs and not grade them till the last week of school. if u want to learn on your own get her. She assigns 2-3 major exams and they're 40% of your grade.
Please dont take this class if you're taking other classes at the same time. I wish I was exaggerating but she literally took 5 months (the whole semester) to grade our assignments. The exams and quizzes are web monitored and the smartbooks are 100 questions each, shes rude when you ask her a question and the PowerPoint chapters are like 70+ slides
She is test and homework heavy. If you think you are going to take this class along with other classes think again. If you have her as your professor take this class by itself. Very hard class and all tests/quizzes are proctored.
All tests and quizzes are proctored. Assigns a ridiculous amount of homework. You have three large exams at the end of the semester. If you don't do the 100 question extra credit you probably wont pass. If you are in her class take it by itself. This class will take up all of your time. Say goodbye to your social life.
Carreon is overall a great professor! Science in general have never been my favorite subjects, but for the first time I actually really enjoyed learning about biology. She makes it easy to understand and if you need more guidance, she'll be happy to help. I highly recommend her class if you're looking for professor to help you understand biology!
She is a great professor! If you do the work needed, this class is an easy A. However if you are lazy, this class might not be for you. She cares about her students and is passionate about what she does. I believe she is one of the only STC professors who actually cares about the students.
She taught very good and straight forward with each topic. It will require for students to study if you want to pass the course. Overall I learned many new things and actually found it interesting.
She is a sweetheart One of the best professors I have had, for such a difficult subject she makes it easier. All the other comments bashing her DISREGARD them. Her workload can be a little difficult to keep up with as far as quizzes and exams, but other than that she is one of the best. She will curve almost every exam to give her students a chance
She is a good professor
She is a very good professor, she is very straightforward with lectures as well for the exams. Labs were both fun to learn and successful , there are no complaints for this class.
If you care about her class she'll care about you. Obviously wants you to succeed or else she wouldn't provide so many extra credit opportunities or give you optional videos to watch outside of class, however, she doesn't hold anybody's hand through the course.
She is a great teacher!! She always try to help us whenever we need help and she is always available after school hours. There is a lot of quizzes but the test are easy since they are the same questions from past quizzes. And in test she provides curves and extra credit questions in quizzes. I would highly recommend her as your professor.
Good teacher overall best professor I've had this year. Is very nice and respectful.
The best professor i've had, she's very nice and her lessons are fun and informative. 10/10 wish there was more professors like her.
You do get lots of information that you have to retain in order to pass, but unfortunately, I would not recommend this professor.
Professor Carreon was very amazing to have. Very passionate about what she teaches.
She is really caring and understanding, you just have to make up your work if you miss any class.
Wonderful Teacher gives us many extra credit opportunities and helps us out to at least get a passing grade most of the time.
lot of notes and the quizzes have the same questions in the exam
Ms. Carreons biology class is one that i did not find so difficult. She gives a lot of chances for extra credit and curves exam grades. As long as you study her notes and past quizzes her exams will be easy.
She's very chill and doesn't get upset. There is a lot of time consuming homework but its easy. My grades are my fault for not paying much attention, however the times I did, the lesson was taught very fast and smoothly explained.
During the Course, Mrs. Carreon taught myself and my classmates easily. She taught us with a sense of understanding and encouragement.
I feel this course was good. She was able to teach us new things we didn't know before. I myself enjoyed some of the experiments we did in class. We were able to learn from them and see things happen with our own eyes.
Nicest professor ever, her labs are actually very enjoyable and super informative, she's good at explaining and breaking down all her lessons as well as providing different videos and mini assignments for study. ��
The topics discussed in class can be challenging for some students but the teacher has helped me to be able to process the information by braking it down in able for me to understand better.
Miss Carreon is a great professor. I've learned a lot from her and would totally recommend her for future BIO students. However, her class does require a lot of studying and preparation, so I only recommend this course to students who are willing to put in the extra work. If you study what she asks you to study, you will pass the class.
Very happy spirit and very passionate about teaching the course, she encourages all students to learn about the subject. Hilarious in demonstrating cells she is very thorough and clear in her lectures. She makes everything fun and easy-ish to learn overall great professor I've had by far.
Gives amazing lectures and provides great examples that makes it easier to understand.
I like when we would have Labs on Wednesday, its something to look forward to starting school on Monday.
Mrs. Carreon was a very uplifting professor; always prepared to teach. She gave opportunities for extra credit and provided a curve on exams. As well as reviewed the quizzes before the students took it. As long as students take notes in class and review the quizzes, the exams are not very difficult.
She has helped me keep track of my grades and make sure I understand the material in her class.
Whoever said this Professor was easy, you lied. This professor is so horrible,, that everyday I drove to campus I did not wear a seat belt and hoped for a trailer to hit me.
The best thing about her class is the end. Lectures are boring, she gives you a ton of homework. Her class made me rethink my major and my life.
I likes this class, the work was easy. The class is super fun and she is not strict.
most of the work is online and has a lot of exams and quizzes so if you miss class don't expect to pass but will help you out if asked. overall a great teacher
I liked this professor! However, she would go on tangents when we would go over chapters. She did have a good teaching style, it was just that she would talk a lot.
Her lectures were pretty long but very helpful, she went over everything that was going to be on the quiz/exams. It is a lot of work but as long as you pay attention and sumbit everything you will pass her class.
I loved this professor. She is really cool to talk to and she will work with you if you need it, just need to ask. Her class is a lot of fun. Definitely recommend.
She has very interesting and relatable lectures. She clearly states the information that is needed for the exams. If you do bad in this class it is probably because you don't pay attention in class because she makes it simple to understand the material. There is a heavy amount of coursework but that is to be expected of any science course.
Good professor, the tests were hard but there are curves and extra credit available. Attendance is mandatory but missing a class here and there won't kill you. Lenient grader and fun class, although the lectures can drag on sometimes.
Ms. Carreon was an amazing professor. Just like any other science class, it is tough; but as long as you put in your part you will pass. Take advantage of the extra credit she offers because it really makes a difference. I will definitely be taking her for Bio1407. HIGHLY RECOMENDED.
Ms.Carreon, is a very energetic, enthusiastic, and bubbly professor. She cares about her students and makes biology fun to learn, if you take this class seriously and apply yourself this class will be a walk in the park. Highly recommend her.
Hello, So I took Ms. Carreon this semester and she is a very nice professor if you want my opinion. The course can be difficult though, but I feel that kind of depends on the students. Like me, Yes this class is fun to do, but I'm not really a note taker and I don't really study. So of course the exams and quiz's will be hard for me.
Mrs. Carreon was a cool teacher (: however, her class was kind of hard (at-least for me) her lectures are long & she does talk a lot so prepare for that! Her quizzes are of 10 questions & 5 exams of 50 questions, she does provide some extra credit, so make sure to take advantage of it ! Overall a easy class if you take notes and STUDY within time!
Great Professor explained the materials well. Gives lots of work so be prepared for that
professor was really nice, but if you are not a science major don't take this course it does get overwhelming. overall very nice professor she is willing to help if you need it.
Ms. Carreon, is an excellent professor who demonstrates caring for her students. She makes sure all her students understand the chapter we are covering. Although I am not the best in biology, Ms. Carreon has made sure I understand the subject and I have asked questions in which have helped me. Overall, I would recommend her.
Honestly this class is easy enough if you pay attention and do your work. The professor is really nice and explains everything that you may be confused about which is very helpful. The lecture packets are a lot of information but she makes sure to get through it all and explains it until its understood to the whole class.
This professor has been one of, if not my favorite by far. She cares a lot about her students and genuinely enjoys what she is doing. She has fun with the students and is always open to help whoever needs it. As long as you by attention and do your work, you should have no problem doing really well in this class.
I was never the best in Biology, I always had difficulty fully comprehending the subject, that is until I got into Ms. Carreon's class. Ms. Carreon is a caring professor, she helps students until they can understand the lesson. She gives a lot of extra credit, which helps. I would recommend having her as a professor.
Although I did not understand the concept of biology, Ms. Carreon made me gain insights on the topic. Her lectures are lengthy, but if you take notes and listen to everything she says then you will pass this class. She gives a lot of extra credit which really helps to take advantage of it. She makes the class fun and interesting.
The material being taught in this course can be overwhelming sometimes but with the help of the teacher one can be able to break down the material and understand the concepts.
She is the GOAT. If you have a question, she will answer it with pleasure just make sure to do her work and study. But she is the GOAT truzz.
Honestly, I believe that this class is very simple if you put effort into it. If you actually pay attention in lecture and lab, you'll understand what she's saying. That's the thing, the moment you space out, you'll get lost and fall behind.
Good teacher. Lots of assignments almost daily, but you have a team and once you get used to the assignments they are easy. Lab and lecture exams are pretty easy, she assigns 16 10 question quizzes for every chapter. However they help you study for the exams. And the exams help with the final.
She is very nice and makes lectures interesting. She's always in a good mood and shows youtube videos so that lectures don't seem too much. Very very nice:)
Difficult course if you don't like the subject but she makes it really easy to understand and genuinely cares about her students. She's very resourceful and helps students as much as she can.
She is a very good professor, has lengthy lectures; however, her class is very interesting. She tries to answer all your questions, so there is no doubt on any work. A lot of easy assignments, but if turned in on time, they're easy grades. Totally would take her class again!
Absolutely loved this professor she has been one of the nicest ones that I have had yet. She was very sweet and caring and her lectures were amazing and I actually understood the class. Assignments, daily quizzes, lecture exams, and Lab exams were not hard if you study. Gives extra credit and overall was an easy class.
This class is not hard if you pay attention in class. She provides accurate information relating to the tests, and she provides support in the labs.
This professor knows how to explain topics in a simple manner to the point where it helps you remember a lot of terms. She does not go off topic when giving lecture. The assignments are simple, not easy. You will be able to get an A if you do all the work and do what is required to pass the quizzes and exams. She s also funny.
Biology is a difficult subject, but her lectures were easy to understand and her tests and exams were directly from the reviews and the lectures. She is very understanding and involves herself in difficult experiments, dissections, etc. She is very helpful and answers messages and emails very quickly. I would definitely take her course again.
This professor was so nice and genuinely such an amazing teacher. She cares about her students and even threw us a pizza party the day of the final. Her lecture was really interesting and showed a lot of videos and examples. I 100% Recommend taking her for bio 1407.
She is a very cool professor. She is calm and patient with her students. Her class is easy if you pay attention.
Science has never been my best subject until I took this class. Ms.Carreon has been the most caring and understanding professor I've had so far. She made me look forward to attending class. Even though lectures were lengthy, she explained everything that was on exams. I personally recommend this class. Best teacher ever.
This professor was one of the best professors I have ever had. She is really understanding, and she makes the material really to understand. Her exams are easy if you study the quizzes carefully. Overall, lab and lecture were really fun, and you learn a lot in her class, definitely recommend.
I've never understood bio, but Ms. Carreon's class made the subject very understandable. She has long, but she only goes over things that will be on the exams. Her tests and exams are very easy if you study. If bio is difficult for you and you want a teacher whos going to make the learning process easier, I would definitely recommend Ms. Carreon :)
I genuinely enjoyed the class and had an easy time. She is very understanding and will help in any way possible. She made lectures and labs interesting, which made it easier to learn what was taught. Exam questions were taken from the daily quizzes that made them simple and easy to pass. I would definitely recommend taking this course.
she is such a chill teacher, when you're tired she lets you sleep. she will help you with any doubts you have
She is very nice, and her lectures are simple to follow. If you study the quizzes, the exams will be easy. It's a simple course if you pay attention, and the labs were really fun and helped me understand biology. Biology is a challenging subject, but Ms. Carreon simplifies it and makes learning biology enjoyable.
She does give a lot of homework, so be ready for that. However, the work is simple. The only problem I had was time consumption. As long as you manage your time, you should do well in the class.
This professor was decent. She does give a lot of work so I would suggest not to procrastinate on her class. She gives exams that weigh heavy on your grade so I suggest to study more than you think.
Her class isn't very hard, but it is very time consuming. There are a lot of exams and quizzes. There is a lot of extra credit opportunities for every exam. Although, she takes a long time to grade the exams and sometimes opens the assignments late, meaning you have less time to do the assignments. Overall, she isn't a hard professor.
It is going to be a lot of work but assignments are easy and quick. Do all the extra credit even if you don't want too because it will help you in the end. Don't be afraid to message her, she always responds quickly and will help you. Study for the exams, the exams are the most important part of this class so it's important to do your best.
The professor's teaching style is very straightforward, and she gives multiple extra credit opportunities so take them and pay attention to every little detail because it will be used in many quizzes and exams.
This professor answers quickly and helps you. Do not hesitate to ask her questions. She includes multiple assignments so try to manage your time. Study what she says to study since all of that will be included in all exams. She also has extra credit oppurtunites.
Don't expect this course to be easy and procrastination will not work here. She's very helpful in getting your grade up and gives you many opportunities for extra credit. She gives a lot of time to complete assignments. Don't leave everything last minute but as long as you're responsible you'll finish this course with a high grade.
Be prepared to read and study a lot. There are tons of assignments, labs, quizzes and exams almost every week. Professor was available through Pronto but took a while to answer back. Only met professor during exams because it was an online class. Take every chance for extra credit that she gives.
The teacher is chill - Marcus
It is a good class, as long as you put in the effort, you'll get the desired grade. She helps you along the way but not entirely. Take every extra credit opportunity.
Many opportunities for extra credit are provided, but if you aren't a great exam or note-taker, I'd recommend reconsidering your choices because this course can be very fast-paced. Be prepared to study because there'll be at least 1-2 quizzes per week, especially towards the end. She's a nice prof. as long as you're respectful and well-prepared.
Be prepared for this fast-paced class. Write everything that she provides in her lectures, they all come back and show up on quizzes or exams. Don't slack off.
She is a really good professor if you put in the effort. There are quite a few quizzes, exams, and assignment but nothing heavy if you do everything on time. There are plenty of extra credit opportunities and she is very helpful and cares for her students.
This professor was amazing, she laughed with us and joked around while also teaching the class everything we needed to know for each assignment. Ms. Carreon has been one of the best teachers that I have ever has the pleasure of knowing. I highly recommend this teacher and respect her very much. Be prepared to take a lot of notes and very engaged.
Carreon is very helpful when it comes to exams. She includes a generous curve and is always willing to correct mistakes you may have made on scantrons. Overall good professor and not a very difficult course.
In this course, you have to do a lot of work, but that's college for you. Overall the course is semi-hard, but as long as you read and do your work you should be fine.
This professor is awesome. She curves all exams and drops your lowest grade. However she does give a lot of work and labs each week.
She was actually a good professor. She might take a while grading your exam and answering your text. You need to manage your time in order to read and get the extra credit for exams. If you are willing to study and take your time for lab and lesson quizzes, you should be able to pass the class. She is very helpful with the curves and extra credit.
The professor is good overall, she gives us opportunities such giving extra credit or curving an exam. But the only down side is the consistency of assignments.
She is very straight forward and understanding.
She was well spoken and easy to learn from. There was a lot of quizzes and notes because of how fast we had to go. It may seem a lot, but she does prepare you for it and has extra cred. She seems to care a lot about what she teacher, so every lecture was no bore. Great professor, I am going to miss her, formed a great connection with the class.
Ms. Carreon's class was very interesting. She would try to make lectures engaging and fun. However there is a quiz every week, but she reviews the questions for everyone to know what to review. Attendance is mandatory to grasp information for the quizzes. Overall, she is the best and most fun professor I ever had. I 100% recommend her to everyone.
Ms. Carreon is a good teacher, the assignments that she provides online are in order from due date so students don't miss the deadline. There is a lot of homework, but it isn't that hard you can even finish it within 3 days. The thing about Ms. Carreon is that sometimes she takes a long time to post the exam grades.
This professor's teaching style is very resourceful and clearly conveys the material. The class requires a lot of studying because Exams weigh a lot but she gives extra credit opportunities.
By far the easiest class I have ever taken. I always set the curve and rarely took notes, I think I'm just him. Great teacher and very easy to relate and talk to.
Honestly a pretty simple class, slept most days but when I wasn't asleep I learned a lot. If I can pass while slumped so can you. Overall great class.
This course was easy because I was able to learn a lot about biology thanks to the lectures that were given. I would recommend you take this course with this professor.
Great professor...Definitely the type of professor you wish to have again if offered the opportunity.
She is a good teacher that lets you know about all upcoming assignments and is very well versed in her subject.
Well respected, test heavy, accessible professor.
This professor was great.
Made me like bio more than i use to tbh.
Made me enjoy bio even thought the class was challenging.
She isn't that hard of a professor, as long as you do your work. The test are easy if you listen to her lectures.
I want other students to know that this professor is very dedicated to her teachings and is available when you have any type of question.
She is really discipline to the class and she really does care of student learning, she is understanding and easy to get along
great professor...Definetely the type of professor you would take again if given the opportunity.
Miss. Carreon is one of the best professors I have ever had. Her teaching abilities are amazing and you are guaranteed to learn in her class. Apart from being good at teaching, she is very caring and kind; she motivates her students to always try their best and I would most definitely take her class again.
Mrs. Carreon was a good teacher because she always gave us time to do our work, and to study before our exams, I would recommend this teacher.
Ms. Carreon was a great teacher. She should stay next semester with us here at PSJA MEMORIAL.
Should keep on teaching next course. Great teacher!!!
She is an amazing professor. I would definitely would take this class again. I learn and obtained a lot of knowledge in this class.
The teacher gives you a clear idea of how the class will go and how many assignments there is. We do have work every day, so be ready to learn! Attendance is important, but if you fail to attend because of an emergency she is very understanding and gives you an opportunity to complete any missing assignment. This is the best teacher I've had so far
Ms. Carreon sets her students up for success and makes sure that she gets through to her students. She will answer any questions you have concerning the material and she will make sure to remind you of deadlines, quizzes, and exams. She cares for her students well being and if she sees you struggling she will lend out a helping hand right away.
awesome professor.
Great professor! Lectures are interactive and is mindful of all students.
She is clearly happy to be in the classroom and cares about her students
Learned a lot, taught me how to be responsible and careful.
Ms. Carreon is very caring and her lectures are very entertaining. I enjoy her class a lot.
Ms. Carreon was for the most part nice. Her class is easy if you pay attention to lectures, study and memorize the information. The way she explains is so great cause she simplifies the information in lectures. I would honestly take another class with her,
I started this class in the late August and was finishing towards the mid December. This was a fun experience since I got the chance to meet new people and I also had several friends in this class that made me feel comfortable. Our professor made sure that everyone knew the topics discussed by repeating herself many times.
She was very in depth with the lectures
Professor was very understanding and helpful. Class is an easy grade as long as you pay attention and do your assignments.
She's a great teacher, very caring and fair but it is a difficult class, so concentrate on the class, study and prepare for quizzes because you would have 1 or 2 a week, exams are easy because would literally have to study those quizzes
Quiz and exam heavy but tons of opportunities for extra credit, excellent professor who cares about her students
Great professor! Always provided us interesting labs and lectures. A good amount of homework and quizzes but she always gives time for everyone to complete. Provides extra credit and treats everyone with respect. Quizzes were simple and exams were super easy (based of the quizzes). Would take again.
Recommend to take this class and this professor.
She is very funny and easy to relate to. She also has a curve for exams which is super helpful.
Ms.Carreon is one of the best professor in South Texas College. She is a very helpful and makes you very knowledgeable about the subject. It could be a difficult class if you don't show up or pay attention. She is pretty fun but is very understandable.
Ms. Carreon was an amazing professor, she made this class very easy for me since she helped me and made her lectures very entertaining.
I really enjoy this class, if you study you will get easy A on tests
Teacher is good overall just make sure to study the quizzes you take and you will do great on your exams
Great professor, would take the class again if I had the chance to do so.
Great professor, I would take another course with her if I had the opportunity to do so.
Amazing teacher as well as caring lectures were long but you learned a lot.
She can be fun but is serious most of the times.
She can be fun but is mostly serious.
All exams are lockdown browser from quizzes. Do all 3 attempts of quizzes. Review all 3 quiz attempts to do good on exam. smartbook assignments are extra credit for exam. Redo all assignments and labs until you get a100. Will help at the end. Her only down fall is she procrastinates to grade assignments till the end.
Just do the work and you'll be fine.
She gives extra credit and gives a lot of time for you to submit things if you are late on something. As long as you pay attention somewhat, you should get a good grade.
Overall good teacher:)
Ms. Carreon made the course a bit more easy, the work load was not as heavy as with other professors I have encountered. She focuses only on the main points of the lecture, which made it easier to learn. She is also very understanding as well.
It's a very easy course. If you come prepared for class, it will be so easy. She gives a lot of extra credit, so take advantage of it.
Ms. Carreon is a wonderful teacher, she teaches pretty good. She's not strict, and you can get comfortable, the class was easy as she explains briefly about what's going to be in the exams for both lab and lecture exam.
She's an excellent professor, and her class is easy. 100% recommend her if you want to take it in the summer. The only bad thing that I disliked of her class is that she puts in grades last minute, so you wont be able to keep track of your grade. It can be concerning since you wont be able to know if you are passing or failing the class.
Overall, the class was great, the labs and lectures were fun and entertaining while also informative. The assignments were doable and helpful with understanding the subject. One thing that I did not enjoy was the late grading it made me nervous to see what my final grade would be, but it is understandable with the number of things needed to grade.
She does give a lot of handouts but they're fairly easy. The quizzes and exams are fairly easy if you study. The only thing I don't like in this class is that she's very unorganized and sometimes things can change last minute. She is very behind in the grading part, which is very hard to keep track if you really want to know your grades.
Amazing teacher. She structures the lesson plans wonderfully, in a way that helps you understand all you need to pass. She is extremely understanding and it's refreshing to have a professor that loves what she teaches/studies. Her passion for Bio is evident and it motivates you to stay focused in class. Highly recommend during summer.
This professor was very nice. Provided tons of extra credit opportunities, and has extra credit questions worth 10 points each quiz/exam you take during the course. The quizzes 100% reflect what is going to be asked in the exams for each chapter. I will admit, the course can be unorganized at times, but it is kept up to a good enough manner.
She is amazing and has a deep love for Biology which is so inspirational.
Took this professor for 1406 and 1407. Amazing learning environment. Connected with students. The work wasn't too hard. Super engaging. Explains well, and is super sweet. Works with you and is understanding. Labs are fun and she helps when needed. 10/10. I wish she taught all my bio courses
Ms. Carreon will never miss! She is hilarious and a great lecturer. Her quizzes were a bit difficult but as long as you read the textbook you will be okay! Expect fun worksheets and dissections.
The professor always provides amazing feedback on quizzes and lecture. Many quizzes are dropped and she offers opportunities for extra credit. There's no way to fail this class, unless you try to.
The work itself is easy and failing the class would be on you. She often comes to class with an attitude and can be rude. She has a habit of making negative remarks of previous classes during present classes. She can be kind, but her temper gets in the way of her professionalism.
Extremely childish and lets her feelings get in the way of teaching. Also much more friendly with the boys than the girls. Often tends to target specific students and rude most of the time. Walks into class with an attitude and blames students for her emotions. Worst bio class I have ever taken and would not recommend it even if it was the last one
Unprofessional and made me rethink my major. Hated the day knowing I had to go to her class because she was very childish. If you disagreed with her then she would act like a 10-year-old. Tests were easy but was not worth going to her class. Worst professor I've had in my 3 years of STC. Would never recommend it to anyone.
Took this class for 1407 and she is really nice and hilarious and understanding and really connects with her students. She is an excellent professor and really goes above and beyond to help her students and helps you keep up with the upcoming tests by giving feedback and help.
Take this class so you can focus on other classes! If your taking Biology, this will be the easiest professor in the department. All of the tests are previous quiz questions word for word. There is a ludicrous amount of extra credit in this class, in fact, this very rating is worth a total of five pts of extra credit on the final out of 20.
I would recommend taking Ms. Carreon she is very kind and offers many opportunities for extra credit. All the lectures are well explained and break down the information. She always helps everyone as long as you show respect and interest in the course. I strongly recommend taking this class!!
She is a great professor. She can be a tough grader and be tough on you sometimes but it is for the best. She cares about her students and is very passionate about her job. She helps you when the help is needed and she is available after class. I took her for 1406 and 1407, best professor out there.
worst professor, extremely childish
The professor is an amazing teacher, the lectures are good and she explains things really well. She gives a lot of extra credit and the tests are usually from previous quizzes so you can learn from your mistakes. :)
Carreon is a caring prof who makes the content engaging. Tests are based on previous quizzes, and there's plenty of extra credit to boost your grade. Unstuck AI was a lifesaver for prep.
Organized, knowledgeable, funny and passionate professor. All science classes are dense so yes expect lots of homework and quizzes and exams but as long as you follow the syllabus you'll be okay. Does use honorlock but drops lowest exam grades and curves exam grades as well. Definitely recommend taking her class
Professor Carreon is such a kind and patient teacher who truly cares about her students. She's always there to help. The work can be a lot, but it's not too difficult to complete. She gives extra credit, is super organized, and gives you everything you need to succeed in Biology. If you want to actually learn, choose Professor Carreon.
Professor gives great lectures and is always making sure students are engaged. Make sure to study outside of class and her notes/quizzes are really helpful. She is willing to work with you and really does care but make sure to tell her with time so that she can help you.
Professor Carreon offers a lot of extra credit. The lecture/lab exams are based off of quizzes which are all proctored with honorlock. Overall, if you attend class, do all assignments, and pay attention you will 100% pass her class with a B or higher.
Paraphrasing the textbook chapters so read in advance before class lecture. Lots of homework so try spacing it out. Especially if taking it in the Summer.
She's pretty understanding about things and just mainly gives the attitude you give her back to yourself. The course its self is very heavy on studying outside of the classroom. If you don't you'll barely scrape by.
Amazing professor! Her grading system is very helpful, and it is quite easy to get an A if you put in the effort. Great lectures and very understanding.
Very good BIO prof. Explains content clearly and is chill. Tests are easy and mostly the same questions as the quizzes. Gives lots of extra credit and drops some of your lowest quiz or test grades. I'd 100% take her again.
