She is very easy, she always gave us bonus quizzes. She can be unorganized with her notes on the board, but if you ask her she will explain what she means. Her tests are easy if you study. I made B's on all 3 tests and still had a 96 going into the exam b/c of bonus points (and I hate bio)and I know someone who had a 102 going into the exam.

I really liked Mrs. Higginbotham. She was really nice and I thought the labs were interesting. Her notes were kind of unorganized but she always answered any questions and explained things. She gave quite a few little bonuses as well..which helped me out a lot. I got a B in her class. I would recommend her.

Ms. Higginbothom was very interesting. You have to really study though. Her tests are kinda hard but, she gives lots of bonus. I finished with an A.

I loved her. Yes, you do have to study. Yes, the tests are hard. However, if you go to class and study hard, you can do well. I was weary throughout the semester & ended up w/ an A. It's not an easy A. I tell you what, I thought it was hard and then took Earth Science this summer. Now, I look back and wish I could have Biology back.

STUDY! The tests are hard... she doesnt use the book but the tests come from the book. She gives a lot of notes and likes to skip around. BUT she does give bonus quizes. Shes ok.... Boring, so I probably would not take her again

Absolutely take Nancy if you possibly can. She is so laid back and cool. She gives tons of easy bonus, and you will get out early every class. Her tests and quizzes are so easy, and you only have to do one lab report. She is awesome.

Great Professor! Tests come straight from what she tells you. She's laid back and funny. A lot of chances for extra credit.

I love pro. higginbotham! she is cool! youhave to sutdy though! her tests come straight frint he ntie! she is pretty easy if you study and go to class!

she is a good teacher. doesnt use the book but her test come straight from the notes. i have an a in the class.

Great teacher. Take all the notes she puts on the board and pay attention to the examples of things she gives from her notes, that stuff is not in the book and appears on the test. She gives bonus quizes too so read your notes after each class. If you can not pull at least a "b" in her class then you just did not try. Bio is ok and i made an "a".

No Comments

She gives lectures daily. She gives one to no assignments per semester. No homework. Take notes and study and you will do well. If not many people show up for class, she will give bonus just for showing up.

As long as you take notes and study them you will pass. She doesn't give homework. I had her for GBIO 106 and had no assignments, but also had her for GBIO 107 and had just 1 assignment the entire semester. She gives quizzes for bonus points added onto your test the class before the test date. She will explain anything if you don't understand it.

Need to attend class to get notes. Study notes and you will pass. Gives bonus quizzes before every test, up to 5 pts. Slightly difficult but Bio is difficult. I would recomend her but don't ever miss class!!

Got a B in this class and didn't study for any of the tests except the final and missed a few days because this class was early. Putting forth more effort than I did, you could easily get a A. Took attendance, but I don't think she did anything with it. Gave bonus quizzes and you would get at least 1 point just for submitting it.

Easy class..got an A. Gives bonus quizes before test that you use notebook on..At least 60 bonus points throughout semester and lets you drop a test. Interesting. Not mandatory attendance but make sure get notes from somebody. You do have to study before test but the test arnt hard at all if you study. Take her if you can! She loves turkeys!

Attendance is not mandatory b/c she doesn't pay attention really to the roll but if you want to pass the class you need to go to class. She lectures and somewhat writes on the board. Very nice but i wouldnt say easy. Pay attention and study your notes and you should do good. This is not a blowoff class.

Her lectures were sometimes boring. She didn't seem that passionate about teaching. Coming to class really doesn't matter but she gives a lot of notes so missing a day would put you behind A LOT. Her tests were 50 questions and were worded kind of tricky. She is cool, though.

She gives lots of notes and the test come straight from them. She gives lots of bonus points and is somewhat interessting. Listening to the lectures help but attendence is not manditory. Not difficult to get a decent grade.

She is a very nice and helpful teacher. Attendance is not madatory, but she gives a lot of notes that the tests come straight from. There are 10 point quizes each week to help toward your grade. The only part that was a little difficult was the practical parts on the tests. If you study you should do well in her class.

She is really fun and exciting

Great teacher! I hate biology but she made it interesting. Tests come straight from the notes. If you go to class you'll make a good grade. The only thing is she can be quite opinionated. I'd definitely recommend her!

I thought she was really cool and laid back. She does give a TON of information so if you miss a class you better hope you have a friend in it. She does not give study guides so test can be a little overwhelming because you have to learn so much. Besides that I don?t think she was bad at all. I hate biology and got a solid B

She is great! She really knows the information. Her quizes come from the notes you take in class. The labs are fun and interesting. The midterm and final are easy and come right from the notes. I highly recommend.

she is a great teacher! gives a ton of bonus work!!!

Love her! She is great!

Easiest biology lab class i've ever passed! SHe is easy to understand, quizzes are a breeze and her finals are a booger, but hse gives detailed review!! Take this lady!!!!!

I hadn't originally signed up for her, but I'm glad I got her class anyway. She doesn't give any extra assignments or busy work. It is all notes, so going to class is MANDATORY. But if you study (making note cards helped a lot) her tests are easy. She also gives a quiz before each tests but it only bonus. They can't hurt you. I recommend her!

She's a great teacher! Although she gives alot of notes, she isn't difficult.

Mrs. Higginbotham is the best biology teacher I have ever had. She makes the subject intersting for everyone, and cracks a lot of jokes about the subjects. Her lectures are very informative, and she gives a lot of information in an hour. If you miss a class you will be totally lost when the test comes along. Definitly reccommend her.

She knows her stuff. She's very interesting. Funny. But her tests are a tad hard and tough to understand, and I made note cards for every single test.

easiest teachef for this class so take her plain and simple you have to work for your grade and she gives notes the WHOLE time but if you study you are fine plain and simpletake her!

She gives to many notes, acts like she's going to die if she doesn't cover every detail

First time i have ever made an A in biology! She is very straight forward, gives alot of notes but that is exactly what is going to be on the test. If you good at memorizing i would definitely reccomment this class with her. She gives alot of bonus to help boost your grade and her class is also very interesting. Overall good teacher fun class!

Very interesting. Loved the class

Good teacher. Gives lots of notes, and you must attend class if you want to pass the class. Her tests are straight forward, and if you study the notes you will do fine. You don't even need to purchase the textbook bc you won't use it unless you really wanted to. She is funny at times too. Overall, I recommend you take her!

I LOVE higginbotham. Notes are hand written on the board but as long as you keep up with her they're not too hard to read. She keeps us entertained and engaged in class. Never want to fall asleep in class. Tests come straight from her notes. As long as you go to class and pay attention, you can easily get a B on the tests.

I just love her class. Never thought biology can be that much fun! you will have 4 test -100points (she will drop the lowest grade) + a final test for 150 points. She gives a lot of notes, but the tests are not very hard, just need to know the basic stuff not all the notes. gives a lot of bonus opportunities.

Wonderful! She is so funny and nice! Class is a breeze and actually interesting! Take her!!!!!!!

Amazing teacher! She is sweet and awesome! If you do not take here it is your loss! I absolutely love her! She gives tons of bonus!

She is super easy. Her tests are straight from her notes, which you copy word for word from the board. TAKE HER! She gives bonus quizzes before each test, and some extra credit opportunities. She is in love with birds and will let her class now. In all, good teacher. Biology isn't even my forte. GBIO 107

The lab class is more challenging than the lecture class. The midterm and the final are difficult if you aren't interested in Biology, for it requires you to study before. You will have a quiz before every class, but they are not very difficult. This class was defnitely a struggle for me, but she was a good teacher and prepared us well. BIOL 154

Nancy is great! Her tests are straight forward, but make sure to study the examples she gives. She also gives a decent amount of bonus opportunities. I will take her again for biology!

Even if you halfway pay attention, you'll do okay. She was really cool. I fought falling asleep many days but ended up with a B+. If you study, her text are easy. I only studied for the final and still did okay.

LOVE HER! definitely an easy teacher. goes over notes right out the workbook which you have to purchase yourself. quiz before every class which are fairly easy. midterm & final exam. there are no test . this class goes hand in hand with bio151.

i would recommend. she writes all her notes on the board, but doesn't give many. gives a quiz every class period on the week before's notes. experiment every class. lets you out early if you finish early. pretty easy though.

I personally can't dog Mrs. Higginbotham. Her class was somewhat easy for me but the tests were somewhat outrageous. I found it hard to pass tests. But with that aside. To me I found her as an interesting person. She gave me great advice in future science classes I need to take later on for my KIN major. As of now I'm a business major.

She's a great teacher. She can talk kind of fast, but the material isn't really that hard if you take GOOD notes and scan over them before the tests. She's a little blustery but is also kind and caring if you make an effort. She really appreciates questions and you can tell she knows her stuff.

easy going teacher but you have to go to class and you have to study. quizzes are given every week with only 2 exams-Midterm & Final. I loved this class and enjoyed having her as my teacher. Do what your told, study & you can't fail.

Gives a ton of notes but if you take them you will pass. Gives lots of bonus so even a bad semester could be great.

This was a tough class. She gives up to 30 points of extra credit projects, which is great! I had to study hard before tests, but I got A's. MOST IMPORTANTLY: When she reviews tests, circle everything she went over, because half of the questions on the final are verbatim questions from previous tests! This helps you pass with flying colors.

LOVED Mrs. Higginbotham for both lecture and lab. If you pay attention and take notes you can't go wrong. She makes biology interesting for those who could not have a care in the world about it. She's a very fun teacher. Tests are hard but not impossible. She also gives bonus.

I looked forward to this class more than any other! Nancy is a FANTASTIC teacher. She offers so many bonus points. She makes Bio 107 really fun and interesting. She really loves birds and was a wildlife and fisheries officer. Doesn't give many exams, mabye 5? Attend. not mandatory but benef. I would take her again in a heartbeat! AWESOME PROFESSOR!

I absolutely loved this class! She makes everything easy to understand. Yes, the tests are somewhat difficult and contain a lot of info, but she will help you if you ask!

Higginbotham was tough for me. She walks in & writes her notes on the board. Sometimes she goes a little fast, & there is always a lot of material to cover. Notes will be messy & hard to write. Final was 4 new chapters we had to read ourselves & all the other chapters we learned. She gives a lot of bonus & a few projects here & there. Pretty good.

She writes notes on the board. She talks kind of fast & she's a fast writer so you have to pay attention & keep up. She makes class interesting. No homework! Tests can be somewhat hard, pay attention & study & you'll do fine. She gives extra credit assignments & she gives pop quizzes but they're bonus so they can't hurt you. I would take her again.

Mrs. Higginbotham was a good GBIO teacher, she has worked in wildlife and fisheries and she LOVES birds. If you only learn one thing from this class it will be about the Ivory Billed Woodpecker. She writes all of her notes on the board while she lectures and as long as you study the tests aren't too hard. She also gives extra credit opportunities.

She is a great teacher, the way she teaches will make you remember everything she said in class. She gives weekly quizzes which help a lot, they are very easy. You will have to study and work for your grade. If I could I would take her again, she is a funny and great teacher.

This class is not easy. You have to attend class and study a lot to pass. She is very specific about what she wants in the lab report, so if you follow the directions, you will make a good grade. There is also a quiz at the beginning of every class and several opportunities for bonus points.

Mrs. Nancy is so chill, she will become your best friend if you excel in the class. People that are lazy usually don't do well in her class and say it's her fault. People need to realize that you need to study for the grade you want. Take her if you can, beware of the weekly quizzes, they are easy if you study. The mid-term is hard too

Going in, she makes her class seem like its hard, BUT ITS EASY AF. You just have go know how to play your cards, if you can get the notes from someone you dont even have to go to class, write down examples, and go to class before the test because you'll have a bonus review and the points go towards your test.

She made lab really fun. Down to earth and cares about her student. I would deff. take her again.

All the people that said she's a horrible teacher are just lazy because she doesn't post power points online or do a study guide and you actually HAVE TO STUDY. I learned a lot in this class. I'm a sociology major and she made biology extremely interesting. She's got a strong personality and people don't like that, but I definitely recommend her.

Only had her half the semester, but she was cool. Big personality and pretty good at explaining the material. Study and you'll probably be fine.

I had her for lab 154 and I struggled through it but managed to pull through with a C. You have to study since it is loads of material to know but overall great teacher and she is super nice and will help as much as she can!

She tries her best to keep class interesting which was really helpful to me because I hate biology. She gives you all the information you need to know for the exams and it comes straight from the notes you do have to study though.

She doesnt review before exams but thats because the tests come straight from your notes so if you skip class all the time and dont study thats the only way you could fail this class. I definitely recommend her.

Tests come from notes given in class, so if you skip you will fail. Tests are easy if you study. Gives major bonus points and drops lowest test grade which is nice. Explains confusing concepts well.

This class consist of 4 test and a comprehensive final exam. As long as you attend class, take good notes and actually study for the test you should do well. She drops your lowest test grade and gives tons of bonus opportunities. I recommend taking her!

This is an amazing professor. Her tests are based on the lectures she gives in class. Her notes are not posted online, so you have to attend class if you want to pass. She gives bonus quizzes the class before a test. Her test are difficult but if you study ahead of time, you can do well.

My favorite professor so far at SELU. Attendance is not mandatory, but if you go to class the notes & her lectures make the tests much easier. NO HOMEWORK. 3-4 tests & the final. Bonus points are given all semester. Im not a science person & I passed with a B. Shes funny, gives real life examples, & is very realistic. TAKE HER CLASS.

I loved her class. She is super funny. No homework only test. Bonus points all semester. She drops the lowest test grade. If you study youll do great.

This is a lab so you have to go to class to get credit. She let us out early almost every week. We had 10 pt quizzes every week on what we did the week before but were super easy. Mid term and final were very easy if you study! Write down everything she does on the board bc thats normally what the little quizzes have on them but also read the book!

Mrs. Higgenbotham is an amazing teacher! I highly recommend her for biology lab. She makes class fun and easy to understand. She quizzes once a week and the material is exactly her notes she gives you. As long as you study and participate in labs, you should do well. If I had the opportunity to take her again, I would.

Great professor to take for Bio Lab. She tells you EXACTLY what's going to be on the test and doesn't try to trick you or overload you with unnecessary information. As long as you show up to class every week, do your work, and go over the notes she gives, it's an easy A. She's super nice, and helpful if you have questions!

she is definitely a solid biology instructor. before every lab we would have a prep quiz, and i had a little trouble with them at first. she isn't the best with emails but eh it's only a lab. she is also kind of a tough grader on lab reports. i feel like i would follow all the instructions and still get points off. lots of extra credit!

As long as you do the quizzes and show up to class, you'll pass this class. There were two lab reports out of the whole course. She's very laidback. Gives alot of tips and pointers during lab. Definitely tries to help everyone pass.

Such a great lab professor! We had weekly quizzes before each class straight from lecture notes. Each week, we had an activity that she provided guidance with and helped a lot if you were stuck! Gives tons of bonus and participation points to help your grade

i would take any class she teaches again in a heartbeat. she is soooo laid back and easy to work with. she clearly explains what is expected from you for each assignment and explains material well. she'll let class out early and offers bonus here and there. the class isn't difficult and the tests aren't bad, and she makes the lab more enjoyable

Prepare to study. Very good speaker and cares about her students. She makes biology interesting for those who dont have an affinity for science. Shes friendly, honest, and wants to make sure you understand her lectures. No homework, so make sure you study for those tests. Love her!

Professor Nancy Higginbotham makes this lecture class very enjoyable and makes sure her students are understanding the material. Though the tests are on a lot of information, if you study well it is very doable.

Many of the other students in my class did not like her but I did not find her bad at all. She was my favorite teacher this semester because she was clear on what was going to be on the test, super interesting, and gave tons of bonus. You can definitely get an A in this class if you put in effort. If you do not pay attention, you will fail.

She wants you to understand everything in lab, its really easy to pass as you long as you participate and do the quizzes. She's pretty straight forward and since she was a Lab instructor she helped me do a lot better in my BIO Lecture.

I love this professor, but the only thing is she can be a tough grader when it comes to lab reports. Make sure to read the lab book and watch the lecture before you come in to class. Her online lectures are 10-15 minutes and she will keep you in class until you finish your experiment, so if you finish the experiment in 30 minutes you can go.

Her class is very passable and she cares about people failing or passing her class. Just do your quizzes and experiments and you will pass with a good grade.

Dr. Higginbotham was really funny and made sure her lectures were interesting. I definitely recommend attending class if you want a good grade because all of her tests rely on her lectures. If you study your lecture notes, the tests are pretty much the same as those, so take good notes.

Professor Higginbotham in my opinion was a good and easy lab professor. As long as you show up and do your pre-lab quizzes you'll pass likely with an A. We got out of the lab almost an hour early most days which was nice. The midterm was extremely easy I got a 104% on it and the final was pretty easy too I got a 95%.

Nancy was really cool and really funny! It's hard to leave this class without an A or a B. Showup and do the lab quizzez before the lab and do the bonus and you should do well. STUDY for the midterm and final and you will do well key word being study. She's like a nice southern mom. cool lady

She is a super fun professor, makes class interesting. If you study your notes you will do fine on the test. Make sure you show up and pay attention. She gives pop quizzes, but also lets you do extra credit and lets you drop the lowest test grade. She also reviews for the test. Highly recommend.

She is pretty nice, her course is mostly well organized. As long as you attend class you will get a mostly good grade, highly based on participation and the pre-lab and post-lab quizzes each week.

I struggle in Biology but Mrs. Nancy definitely helped a lot. Make sure you pay attention to the stories she tells in class, she is not just telling them for no reason they all relate to what she is teaching. She only teaches by writing on the whiteboard. Attend class, do not skip! none of the notes are posted in canvas.

Super nice and straightforward with the material. Quiz at the beginning of most labs about the past lab and what the lab will be on that day, so she will tell you to read ahead in your manual. Not the hardest grader either, she's cool. As long as you show up to most labs and study for your midterm and final, you should pass.

One of the best teachers I've ever had. She is funny, engaging, and easy to follow. There is a LOT of material covered and it is hard stuff but she explains it all in a somewhat easy to understand manner. There is also a lot of chances for extra credit. Anyone who rated her poorly just doesn't know how to take a class and they should drop out.

Great! All you have to do is study for exams and SHOW UP FOR CLASS. There are quizzes at the beginning of each lab, but they are for the lab done the previous week. She makes sure you understand, especially if you simply ask. Engagement is key with her!

She is awesome!

i really enjoyed this lab! the tests are difficult, but with enough studying you can pass. attend class for the quizzes to help your grade. do the extra credit options. the labs are fun and she makes the lessons easy to understand.
