Nellie is an excellent instructor, knows the material and is very helpful towards anyone that needs the help. This is a SCIENCE class, so you need to put in the effort to do well which should not be new to anyone. My advice is to understand how things work instead of memorizing the material. Once you understand, the memorization comes with it.

Do not take this professor, she would take years to grade things and on top of that her lectures were so boring and made the class harder than it is. The biggest thing was she did not grade anything on time, I waited a whole week after finals to see what my grade was because she took a whole month to grade a lab report that was less then 3 pages.

Nellie is an awesome professor! She explains things really well and offers extra credit opportunities. It's a hard class because there is so much to memorize but she has reviews for each test which helped me a lot.

I loved her lectures. They were easy to follow and she was very engaging during the lectures and this could be the first class that I actually learned in the class instead of studying out of class. We had field trips for labs and they were very informational and fun. I would love to take this class again. Nellie wants her students to succeed.

Professor Khalil is awesome! I ended up with a C in her class thats on me. I took the class as it's required for my degree, but I'm not really into Biology. Her enthusiasm did make the class fun and she's VERY approachable. If you're a Bio major, choose her! She loves what she does and gives a'lot of resources/feedback if this is your major.

Professor Khalil was the best professor I've had thus far at Harper. If you do the work and make the effort to understand the material, then it shouldn't be hard to get a passing grade. She is a great communicator and makes it easy to ask questions to further understand the material. She very often offers extra credit.

The professor is fair and teaches you about the real world through showing you what the world is like through the class. If you take the class, you will learn a lot about the real world and succeed in the job market.
