Class is really hard. Tests have nothing to do with her lectures. If you skip class, make sure you keep up with the readings. She's really nice but the class is just way too hard.

Tough class...but prof wants you to succeed. Helps to go to office hours.

So much to know! How dos she rememer it all. What's really annoying (previous entry) is you do not know how to spell...it's indecisive stupid.And, she is not!

She seems nice and helpful. Her notes are all over the place and its confusing, but I dont blame that entirely on her. Biology is just confusing sometimes!!

She's a very nice and understanding teacher. The only thing is maybe she could make her classes a little more interesting instead of just talking all the time. Makes it kinda hard to pay attention.

Enthusiastic about course. Has papers available for us in timely manner. i look forward to coming to class...she is alive and has a pulse!

She is very nice and helpful, but her exam pre tests have NOTHING to do with the actual exam. Whatever is not on the pre test is guaranteed to be on the actual test. Its all home studying. Plus she talks and talks then goes off on tangents and you don't know where she is anymore! And dont ask her a straightforward question expecting a straightforward answer... it just cant happen.

Instructor seems easy to approach& has enthusiasm for her subject. She also takes time to explain things to those of us who have questions.

Very interesting class. Nice, helpful, friendly. Wants to help if you need it--just ask. Quizzes were easy, labs were fun. Just show up, not hard to pass. I didn't have her for the lecture(105)though.

Her class is really interesting and you can tell she is into it, but the tests and quizzes are a pain. You really need to study, and not just the lecture notes. Just be really prepared for tests and quizzes. Show up every class because you never know when she is going to give extra credit

Awesome teacher. One of the best I've had so far. Just show up to every class (random extra credit), do the assignements, and STUDY for quizzes and tests. Do the exam review sheets and she will give you 20 points on the exam. Follow my advice and you'll do well in her class. Happy studying!

You really have to study outside of her notes for the tests, but if bio isnt your best subject she is very willing to help in any way she can. She's got a good sense of humor. Lectures may be a bit random, but overall a good teacher. Just pay attention to EVERYTHING she says during lecture. A story she tells not from the book may be on a test!!

Great professor!

This teacher is probably one of the easiest teachers that I have ever had in my community college career. She made Biology a little more interesting. The course was very easy. Not too much work. Good class.

Easy A/B as long as you show up.Definetly pay attention in lecture, she can be unorganized-especially when she writes on the board.Uses the book a lot but gives some notes not from book.4announced quizzes.4exams including the final-do the study guides! exam not exactly like study guide so look over all notes. works with you, very nice teacher :o)

Wow, she knows her stuff! Very demanding class.

Spacey...I think not...smart and very organized. You just didn't get it. Always on time and smiling!

Good teacher really nice and helpful. not a whole lot of work either.

Compared to the ones at Mesa, this instructor is a BomB. she doesnt focus on extra S***, not like Phiri at all, just do all the lecture tests, lab practicals, and field trips, I'm sure u'll start to like it, like i did (I was scared as hell before taking it too cause i heard B was harder than A, but turns out just different instructors :D)

i love her! she made the class so interesting. she made the information easy to understand. she leaves out what is too hard and is useless to non majors. i loved all her quirky mannerisms! she is also very helpful and understanding.i highly recommend her as a professor!

Best Biology instructor. Tough class, but she's very caring.

she is nice,but seems not putting too many affard on the class. she won't hand out the perious test to you, but if you can get the students take the class before you and ask them to save you the scantron that's really helpful. she didn't change any of the questions. and nomatter A or B part are the same. so good luck !!! find a good friend.

Hard Class. Good Teacher. Her lecture notes are the test. So take good notes, you cannot rely on just reading the book. I got an A but alot of ppl were failing. Test averages were consistently in the 50s. No curve.

im currently in the class and im gettin an A in the class, a lot of ppl dropped, its a hard class because there a lot of materials to learn but its doable! if ur goin to take this class at mesa or miramar she is the teacher!!very nice lady!

Shes a very friendly teacher. If you have a question JUST ASK! Her lab practicals are tough as well as her tests. The reason why this class was so hard for me was because I was taking a chem class as well. Her lectures are never boring, but when it comes near the final, her lectures can get somewhat confusing. Overall, she's a wonderful professor.

Prof Flowers is extremely nice. The material is hard but is definitely doable. I mean if you study hard enough you'll do great in this class. Not a lot of work and she gives extra credit. She's a really nice teacher that would help you out when you need it.

I loved it. I loved her. Favorite science class, compared to Botany. PUKE.

There is a ton of information to cover in this class. She does a good job of covering all of it though. She's always happy to answer questions and talk about the class. She's very passionate about science and has a great personality. In this class, I strongly recommend studying hard, taking a lot of notes, and reading the book.

A very good teacher! I definitely recommend her! Her tests can be a little more on the difficult side, so this class requires A LOT of studying if you want to do well in it. But she is very helpful whenever you don't understand something. She gives extra credit also if you need it.

EXCELLENT PROF. I JUST LOVED HER. PATTY FLOWER ROCKS!

P.Flower is a nice teacher considerate if you don't understand something. Only her test are scattered allot of errors (like wrong answers on the key). But gives extra credit and had all notes on power point if you dont like taking notes then print them all out and add to them! Nice distey blonde!

classy and professional. very approachable. Would definitely take her again.

Really nice lady. Honestly, I thought her class was really easy. A lot of other students had a hard time, but so much of them were first semester college students. I think I aced every test except one and I rarely showed up for class. :)

She is the best teacher ever!! Love her, wonderful she is into her teaching. She enjoyed teaching biology, it really showed. She was beyond helpful..If all teachers were like her we all would be rocket scientists..Take her she's great!!

Loved her! The subject is hard, she tries her best to teach it in a way we understand it but you MUST study for tests! Show her that you're trying, show up to every class and every lab and you'll most likely get a passing grade. Fun labs and field trips. Really nice professor, very caring and helpful. If you need to pass bio, take her!

Awesome teacher, very passionate. Her powerpoints are disorganized, but pay attention to what she stresses/repeats in class, and you're pretty much set for the exams. If you like biology/have a good foundation already, it's an easy A. If you're just messing around,good luck with her exams,they can be cryptic for people who don't think them through.

Insanely nice and helpful. Very passionate about the subject. She lectures from all over the book, but just follow the powerpoints and focus on studing what she emphasizes in class. Alot of memorization!

This was a very challenging class for me. Lots of fascinating material though. Uses lots of visuals and interacts with class. Grade depends on several things, not just tests. Class participation, lab work, and effort count with her. Do your best, ask for help, she'll notice. Loves the subject and cares about students. Very approachable and low key.

BIO107 is a lot of material to cover in one semester. I failed it the first go around in Dr. Flower's class...but that was all on me. If you don't study, you won't pass. If really "STUDY" then a good grade is very achievable. Don't get sucked into the "how hard this class is" convos...just stay focused and commit.

This class has a LOT of information, but it's easy to get an A if you put it the effort. Her lectures will contain exam questions/answers that you won't see in the book, so taking good notes is a must. You have to read the chapters and fully understand the material. The lab practicals are intimidating; just make sure you study the lab manual.

I'm currently enrolled in her Bio 107 class. I really enjoy her as a teacher. Biology is a tough subject but she does her best to make lectures and concepts easy for you to understand. She's passionate about what she teaches and a makes that clean during class and in lab. Show up to class, show up to lab, ask questions, you'll pass.

Dr. Flower really cares about her students. She is extremely helpful and will even offer a couple extra credit opportunities. This is a biology class, so it of course requires a TON of memorization. It is not an easy A, but it is manageable if you put time into memorizing and studying. Such a sweet professor!

Great teacher, passionate. Not an easy A, but you work hard and show the effort it will be recognized. Stay organized there is a lot of information, and the book is very useful--teaches from the book

210Bmost difficult in the Biology series that you will take b/c you must be willing to put effort into reading, taking notes, and thoroughly/explicitly study every intricate detail regarding organismal and plant biology outside of lecture. A's are possible. Flower's lectures are slow, but interesting. Her practicals, quizzes, & tests are intense.

Awesome professor, really enthusiastic about the subject and very approachable. I loved her class but it was a tough one, there is a lot of material to cover so you need to keep up. She is super helpful and good at explaining the material, this class would be a lot harder with a different professor.

210B with Flower will be a run for your money. This class is very time consuming, and will require your upmost dedication if you want to be successful. Her questions are not straight forward rote memorization like previous Biology classes I've had; you actually have to think about and build on the knowledge you learn. Don't expect an easy A.

Don't be afraid the first 2 weeks of class. It appears like her class is super hard but if you stick around long enough to watch the weaklings drop the class 10 weeks into the semester, she will show you that she will pass you. Her syllabus says things to make it look like its hard, but she gives extra credit and other assignments 2 fluff up grade.

tough class, to pass you HAVE to read the textbook. Exams and quizzes are based on lecture and textbook info. She does offer a study guide for her exams. If you dont read the text and dont take notes in class you probably wont pass. Grade is mostly based on exams.

She's an amazing professor, she makes it really clear what she expects, the exams can be a little tough. She goes over all the material on the test in class. It's worded the same way she lectures. Labs are super fun and interesting. I definitely recommend taking her if you get a chance!!!

She's a nice lady that teaches long lectures. However, her tests are very difficult. She uses assignments and labs to try to bring up your grade because most people get low scores on the test. Great teacher. Hard Tests.

Prof. Flower is amazing. Pick this class if you want to learn a lot! There is a LOT of info and you HAVE to take detailed notes but Dr. Flower writes everything you are required to know on the board. Lab is great as well. Flower treats all her students with respect and she is light-hearted so that makes this rigorous class enjoyable.

Great teacher! Made me fall in love with Biology again. Powerpoint lectures with only pictures and she writes important info on the board. She can sometimes get a little off topic for too long when she's trying to answer students questions. 2 personal fieldtrips. Easy labs. 4 exams and 4 lab exams(practicals). Her classes were a lot of fun!

Very nice lady! To succeed you should attend every lecture/lab, copy whatever she writes on the board, make note of the MANY hints she drops about the exams/practicums, take pictures of lab specimens/slides, read the text book to fill in content gaps. There will be bonus questions on lab practicums, but no extra credit assignments. An A is doable.

Her exams and lab practicals are challenging, but fair. She will give out a few exam questions to the whole class to give you an idea about what to expect if enough students ask for it. If you go to office hours to review previous exams, it's possible to get points back on partially correct MC questions or ambiguously worded questions. She is sweet

Approachable, knowledgeable, passionate. Lecture tests are difficult, so be sure to read the text book and do study guides. Lab practicals are straight forward, but require brute memorization of key terms from lab manual. Bonus questions are available on practicals. Gives great feedback during office hours and allows you to review finished exams

Excellent teacher - knows her stuff. People giving her poor scores are immature looking not too work.

Great professor for a difficult subject. Very clear and interesting lectures. So far my favorite professor. You have to pay attention and show up to Class. Extra points gives you a chance to do good. Highly recommend Dr. Patrica Flower.

Great professor for a difficult subject.
