Obviously, Biology is going to be hard. However, Dr. Jodhka makes it easy to pass her class by providing us with all of her notes, study guides, and detailed explanations. It might take a little while to get used to her, but she has become my favorite teacher at TCC. Have fun with her class. She likes jokes and she likes to get feedback.

she's really boring and VERY thorough but it was an easy class. She makes everything clear and gives great reviews and the tests are straight out of the class work. I would probably take her again.

Dr. Jodhka is fantastic! She is very caring and really wants you to understand the concepts. Some people claim that she's condescending, but she isn't, she just really hammers home the concepts so that you do well. There is a good amount of HW, so you will definitely have to keep up with that, but it's standard for an upper level class. Take her!

Things i wish i knew before taking this professor; lacks time management/ discourages participation if incorrect/grades are weighted oddly(tough to get an A)/many tests and quizes (multiple in one week/day sometimes).... Dr J is caring and compassionate, though she just gets flustered so easily- effecting students.

I have enjoyed learning from Dr. Jodhka. She goes above and beyond to make sure that we understand the material. It is disheartening to see rudeness of some students when they do not make the grade they want. She handles this with professionalism. The class requires time commitment and dedication. The outlines and reviews are helpful study aids.

The class is very hard. There is a quiz or exam every week and sometimes both. With that being said she truly cares about her students and wants them to succeed. Her class is the most difficult class I have taken. She offers a lot of tutoring and help hours outside of lecture and lab. Be prepared for the time and effort needed to succeed.

I genuinely recommend Professor Jodhka for microbiology. Her sincere dedication to students through teaching of the material and patient approach to drawing concepts until the students understand them creates a supportive learning environment. Her review worksheets reinforce the concepts covered in class.

What helped was the hands on experiments provided in this course as it helped show us an understanding of how life works as a whole. It was also very helpful that she encouraged outside the classroom studying and study sessions where we went over what we would have done that week. Provides extra credit opportunities and learning opportunities.

Professor did a very good job providing the class with study guides, animations, and postings of her lecture recordings that make the class a lot easier to prepare for. She is very kind and understanding and will go the extra mile for her students who make an effort in her class. The quizzes helped me stay updated and better prepared for exams.

Microbiology was one of the best courses I took. I learned a lot about microbes and lab techniques. The lab was fun and engaging, with hands-on experiments. Dr. Jodhka is an amazing professor who explains concepts clearly and is always willing to help. She is very friendly and approachable.

Dr Jodhka was my professor for Biology 1406 and she is able to make complicated subjects easy to understand. She will pause her lectures to answer questions and will ask if anyone needs clarity on a subject. She also offers practice quizzes on the textbook, study sessions on Fridays and one on one sessions if you are struggling with a subject.

Dr. Jodhka, is the worst teacher I ever had. She is very confusing on her lecture and very unclear on her instructions for Lab. Do yourself a favor and avoid this teacher at all cost. She very criticizing of her students if they ask her a question or any clarification on instructions. She seems to have any patience what so ever.

I want to share my experience with Dr. Jodhka. I've found her lab instructions clear and helpful, especially when you read the lab manual beforehand. She encourages us to be prepared, and when you do, her lectures make sense. She genuinely cares about our learning. If you're engaged and ask questions, she's approachable and supportive

The homework assignments are super helpful for understanding the concepts. I love how the professor draws everything out on the board, and the part where we teach each other at the end of some classes really helps solidify the material! Plus, the study sessions she holds outside of class time are a great way to get extra help and review topics.

The most caring and hard-working professor! She gives many quizzes/tests to lower the effect of each one as there is SO MUCH content. She stops and answers questions, despite having little time for that; works after class to make reviews and host study sessions. It's Bio I, so homework is a must, but Dr. Jodhka makes tests NOT harder than homework.

Professor Jodhka really cares about her students and breaks down tough biology concepts well. She provides study guides, but you'll need to put in time and effort to keep up. If you stay on top of things, ask questions, and use office hours, you'll definitely learn a lot and do well.

This professor was one of my first in college, I would definitely take this class again, she cares about her students, she wants you to pass, yes there's a lot of work but it is to help cushion your grade! If you have a question she will make sure it's answered, like every other class, put in the effort and you will pass!

Dr Jodhka is one of the few professors who actually care if their students succeed or not. Her lectures go quick, but she's efficient in covering all the material in a way that's easy to understand. I highly recommend reading the textbook prior to lecture so you are able to keep up with the fast pace. Overall, very good professor!

She is an AMAZING educator. She gives you so many resources to make sure you are successful in this course. The work load is a lot but that can be expected from any biology class. She can also be funny at times and attempts to engage with her students during lecture. If I needed to retake this course I would most definitely be choosing her!

Its not an easy class, but if you complete all the assignments, study for each exam, and make sure to pay attention in class, you'll get a good grade.
