Really nice, very clear,no need to do reading, pay attention, take good notes

nice..judgemental..pretty easy...attendance is optional

really nice, easy class for lab requirement

Nice professor but really boring. Tests are ok, use the book and web page.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

friendly and helpful, lots of notes, study hard for exams

Very nice..cares about students/ study notes and use book as a guide

Pat is so nice, we love her! She made me love bio.

Really Nice, take good notes and go to class and you'll do fine

Boring material, but explains well. Not too much work. Lab SUCks!!!

Nice lady, study guides are great

really nice; pretty boring class, use book and web page for tests; pretty easy

boring, takes attendence, overheads directly from book, nice though

Hard, but knows her stuff, good teacher, learn alot

lectures a LOT, usually interesting though..very friendly

take notes from overheads and skim the book- and its an easy A

go to class, take notes, review book before tests,

Friendly. Will make sure you get everything. Tests are difficult. Uses in-class assignments to check attendance.

Very good teacher. Made difficult clear and understandable. Notes on overhead. Tests ok if you do learning guides.

class is very difficult...she is very sweet and more than happy to help you out...you MUST attend class...takes attendance with in class homework...you never know what day she will do it...she has great learning guides and study notes on webCT

You have to go to class... and it is boring.. but if you do you will get an easy A. Informative class, Walsh is nice. Easy group D.

as long as you try you will be fine. don't need to read the book and just print notes. very nice professor

Great teacher, very clear explanations, take if you have the chance

She's a very nice person...so you feel bad falling asleep in her class...but you can't help it...class is difficult but pretty fair

If you go to all of the classes, take notes (notes directly from overhead), and review illustrations in the book (don't read it) then you will do fine. Some homework- its quick and easy

Really nice lady, sometimes the tests are a little tricky, but basically easy. Go to class because in class assignments (very easy) go towards grade.

She's really nice and I've never understood biology like I do now that I had her as a teacher. She makes it more simplified for the non-bio major.

really nice lady, lectures are pointless because notes are on webct. in class assignments, but if you do real well on tests they won't matter, EASY A

it was so much easier to sleep in my own bed than go all the way to her class and do it

Nice Prof... class helpful, but notes are also on WebCT. tests are sometimes tricky but for the most part a good easy course

Makes bio easier for the non bio major. A very sweet helpful lady. Tests can be tricky, but if you go to class you should remember the material. Plenty of opportunity to bring up your grade despite tests. Drops lowest test grade.

Very nice woman. Made time for me to seek extra help from her. Tests are a bit too hard for my taste. Can't resist throwing in trick questions. (I agree w/ others class is boring, but the class is for us non-majors, so of course, we'll be bored here.)

Very nice teacher, lectures are the not the most exciting things, but what lectures are? be prepared to take notes off overhead. Most everything for the class is avaliable on WebCT. Go to class to get participation points at random times. Lab is not h

ok teacher, easy to understand and has good notes both in lecture and online. if you study enough it should be an easy grade just make sure to study. Review sessions wont help much i dont think so just do work on your own. ok teacher though.

This is a typical class, a lot of people, boring as ****.She tries to make you learn but it doesn't really help unless you like bio.She's probably better than other professors and the class material isn't that hard.All the notes are online, pretty easy.

took her over winter session and tests werent representation of lectures but was always helpful

Easy class just study notes, only takes 3 highest tests out of four. Hot TA's we all love u rose.

good teacher; makes an effort to learn names even in a big lecture class, though that could lead to her playing favorites; don't like her random quizzes

excellent professor. lectures are helpful, must attend most because she does in class activities that count toward participation grade. tests are fair, but not simple. lab is cool. all in all, a great class for someone who doesn't like science.

Really nice lady, she knows her stuff. She gives you all the notes on the web and outlines to study from. I knew nothing about bio and I got a B+ with hardly any effort. I Just read the chapters the night before each test and went to most of the classes.

Awesome lady, easy exams, entertaining lectures. I was sad when the class was over. I hated bio going into this class, but she made it clear and easy to do well. Great prof!!

She was an AWSOME professor!! One of the best I've ever had. She was nice, very patient with students, engaging and all of her lectures were soooo interesting! She was always very happy to answer any question a student had. A lot of material, but if you study it is easy. The CD is helpful too!!

Not hard at all. She is so sweet and tries to get everyone to participate to make it more meaningful. Labs are boring.

Do not fall behind; the course can be painful if you do. Otherwise, it should be easy for most people. Lab Ta was nice, but labs did not coincide with lectures. Drops lowest test score (++++). Adds participation and hw points.

She was great! Very nice prof, interesting lectures, never had to fight to stay awake. Tests are easy if you pay attention to the lectures. Very clear and always helpful. I would definitly take another class of hers!

Good notes for class and is alright as a teacher. Tests were somewhat tricky. Only thing I didnt like was that she told us to just study our previous tests for the final and the final was only about 20% from old tests and the rest was other stuff from your notes. Other than that she isn't too bad.

I found it more helpful to outline chapters than actually listen to her lectures, but she gives pop quizzes in class every now in then. I took the class for a Group D requirement and I thought it was hard, but maybe English majors dont belong in Biology...

Class was hard considering i hate Biology. But she is a good professor, just read the text and powerpoint slides and you will do fine on tests.

Exams are easy as long as you prepare. Very organized , uses powerpoint. Posts slides on webCT after lectures. I got an A without studying too hard.

she tries to help students well

There is a lot of new information to be learned in this class if you are not familiar with genetics. The first exam is harder than the rest because there is so much stuff to learn at first. She is very helpful, and clear and is willing to discuss things after class.

I liked her, she is a very sweet woman and very informative. She uses power point slides and goes over a lot of information but she makes the slides available on WebCT so there isn't too much writing. The textbook has a website where you can take practice quizzes and that was very helpful.

This class was hard. If you're looking for an easy group D, try something else. Class was difficult because i knew nothing about human genetics before this class. Exams are now computerized so they are easy to take.

Good teacher but lectures straight from the book and online powerpointslides. Gives credit for coming to class which can lift up ur grade. Take her easy B or even betetr.

Great professor. She's interested in what she teaches which makes a big difference. Offers help continuously, so if you do poorly, you're just a slacker. Warning though: memorization required, but understanding concepts is also very important. If you're lost the first week or two, CHANGE CLASSES!

incredibly nice woman, always looking out for her students.. tough class though. if you're not interested in science, look for an easier group D- otherwise, go for it, classes were intersting and she kept it moving by mixing it up with lectures, videos, etc.

very nice woman whose excited about the class. tests are difficult but if you study you'll be fine. get easy participation points for attendance. realizes this is a bio class for non-majors so doesn't get into too much detail about a lot but gives broad overview.

Coversa wide variety of information, so things don't get too weighty. Tests aren't superdifficult, but do spend a few hours studying to prepare. She's very kind, helpful, and wants her students to succeed. Her enthusiasm for biology doesn't transfer into her lecturing, but that's ok. Drops your lowest exam score. A decent way to fulfill group D lab

This class wasn't too bad. Just make sure to do the reading. She was a very helpful teacher. She offers very helpful review sessions. It isnt necessary to go to class but it definately doesnt hurt.

meh....not bad, but not astounding. She runs through the powerpoints extremely fast, and I didn't actually learn anything from them anyway, I just relied on the book. Some of the test questions were kind of misleading, but on the whole weren't terrible. If you can take the class with somebody easier...go for it.

Very friendly and enthusiastic! Tests are somewhat difficult but if you study the notes and the book thoroughly you will do well.

Easiest class ever. I never understood biology until this class. Great teacher and very clear.

definately take this class, so easy if you study, 4 exams, a few in class activities, final exam is cummulative so it was kinda hard, if you can get a copy of a past exam use it to study, she uses a lot of the same questions

AWESOME!!!! She is pretty easy and follows the book exactly. I had to study a lot for the tests but i did well on them. Shes also very nice!

Professor Walsh is so sweet and very accomodating. She drops your lowest exam grade (except the final), and all of her powerpoint presentations are available online. I can't imagine how anybody could get below a B in this class.

Notes are on WebCT, in class assignments, explains the material well but the exams are long and tricky

The class is pretty easy as long as you go to the lectures most of the time and study a little before the exams. But you'll need a coffee because she has a really motherly soft voice that sometimes can't keep you awake at 9 am. Really nice lady!

Great teacher, very nice. Fairly easy class. Only counts best 2 out of 3 semester exams and the final exam. Lab is not easy though, so must do well on in class material. Come to class, participate with clicker, and you will do well.

shes great.very sweet.very nice.very helpful.if youre not into science this class will be work.studying for about 3 to 4 hrs for an exam helped me.her lectures are interesting, she has videos and uses powerpoint.she also gives not-graded in-class quizzes, so u can test yourself if you actually know whats going on.i def recommend her, shes awesome.

Really really nice and wants to help as much as possible. Material can get difficult but she will help you if you can and a test gets dropped! go to class and take good notes, textbook is difficult to study from and unnecessary.

She is such a mom and so nice. You use clickers in class so you need to go and PP slides are found online. Tests aren't bad and she will drop one out of the 3. Lab is a pain but not hard at all. Very willing to help you with anything. I would reccomend this class.

She is a great teacher and willing to help anyone succeed in the class. Go to class because clickers are used every class to keep track of attendance. Study guides and lectures are found online and lab is really fun! She drops 1 of your 3 exam grades for you! Highly recommend her!

Easy Bio with Lab. Somewhat interesting but not really smart. She doesn't seem to know her stuff well and would ask students if they knew the answers to other students questions.

She is very nice and tries to help people understand. Bio is not my thing so if it isn't yours make sure you attend all classes and as hard as it is PAY ATTENTION!! Also it was made clear to me that it is necessary to study more than the night before the test.

Professor IS nice, but lectures are often taught as if the class is a Bio major. If you don't need the class, I would say choose an easier lab for Group D. Also, you don't absolutely NEED to buy the text, I barely used it. I suppose that's a matter of preference. Overall, OK class, but not the easiest

So what? and Why? .....She is very thorough but you end up teaching yourself a lot of the information when studying. The Cd/website for the textbook is great! she drops lowest of 3 tests.

my advice is to go to the library and print all the slides that are on webct (using the library will save you a lot of paper and ink) take notes on the slides. when studying, read the textbook thoroughly and study notes. all 3 tests are multiple choice and she drops the lowest. the final is cummulative. dont forget ur clicker! she is a good prof!

GO TO CLASS, print the slides, and take some notes. Tests aren't always the easiest, but if you understand the material, you will be fine. The books helps too. PARTICIPATE IN CLASS!

I loved her! I was very hesitant in taking bio at first, but she was so enthusiastic about it. She really kept you interested. Tests are ok, but there's many other factors to your grade.

Class wasn't too difficult, she is a good teacher and going into tests you feel you are ready but many of her questions are confusing, some are worded tricky and some have multiple answers that could be correct, 3 multiple choice tests, drops lowest, cumulative final, don't bother buying the book, just look over/print out and study the slides

Took online over summer. DIFFICULT, but interesting and worthwhile. Very helpful during office hours, and offers lots of useful review material. Lectures can be dry but the content is excellent. I'd recommend taking it online during spring or fall, just because you have to watch ALL the lectures (don't slack!) and cramming that in can be difficult.

i love this class. the professor is so nice and always willing to help. three exams and a cummulative final. the exams are all multiple choice and come straight from your notes. her lectures are very fast paced but you can fill in the gaps in your notes because she posts the slides online. she is a very good professor

Super easy. She does the best she can to make the material interesting and she's pretty nice. Go to class for clicker points and know the textbook (which is super easy to understand) and you should to fine. It's a college class so you can expect that she'll word things to trick you on the test, but if you studied, you'll know it.

This class is very time consuming but as long as you keep up it is not too bad. She gives a good variety of assignments to help your grade -3tests, lab, weekly online hw, clicker questions, and the final. Also, she drops your lowest test grade. Patricia is very passionate when talking about biology. It's great.

She is really nice and understanding. If you read the book, go to lecture, and do the online homeowrk you will do just fine! The exams aren't that tricky, some of the questions come right from the online homework.

Kind of annoying but not to hard, she's okay at teaching but not the best

Considering that this is a 100 level class, it's pretty difficult. I took two years of advanced bio in high school and I got a C in this class. The tests are difficult and not easy to study for. If I could do it again I wouldn't have taken this class.

I took this class online and I didn't really use the textbook for this class. I paid a lot of attention the lecture slides. Definitely go to her office hours if you have a question about her tests. Sometimes she will give points out. Also, make sure if she gives out extra credit, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT.

I was scared to take a biology course, but Dr. Walsh made it worthwhile. I learned so much from her, and I would recommend taking bio with her to anybody. Excellent professor.

Very nice, but it is a hard class

She kept it interesting, and while attendance wasn't mandatory, it really helped AND you got participation points with the clickers.

One of my favorite teachers! She is very passionate about biology and is the cutest lady ever. Her tests aren't easy but if you study a good amount you get B's. She is a very nice lady and is eager to help whenever.

So helpful. Very good teacher and really cares about each student individually. Will do anything to help you however she does expect you to learn and pay attention which is good. Her tests are very tricky so you need to know your stuff. Definitely recommend

- Go to class: clicker questions. - Take notes on what she is saying as well as what she is writing. - homework is so easy cuz you can google the answers and take the pre/post test. Lab is boring but easy. Lectures are all posted online. I suggest reading the book but focusing more on her lectures. Tests are designed to trick you - TAKE YOUR TIME!

This class is pretty difficult for a 100 level class. Read the lecture notes and the textbook. The tests weren't too awful if you take the time to study and actually learn the material, instead of just memorizing it. There are 4 exams and the lowest exam grade is out of 50 points instead of 100 so it helps.

Clickers, so attendance is mandatory. Online homework, but you get three tries, so it's hard to get a bad grade on them. The information is pretty hard for a 100 level class, but as long as you follow her lecture notes, you should be fine.

She is very deidicated to her work and teaches slowly and carefully. There are 4 exams, but clicker questions and masteringbiology homework are an easy way to get an A. If you don't like the science you will have to work extra hard, but for science majors like myself, it was a walk in the park! she also offers many ways to help improve your grade.

Walsh is really nice. She babies the information to you. She teaches literally from the textbook and the questions from mastering biology are from there too. If you want an easy A, take her class. The info isn't hard, it's just high school bio. good for non majors. just don't annoy her, and you're fine

Very sweet lady. Tries to make classes interesting, even though Biology isn't the world's most interesting topic. Study from the text book and do the homeworks, practice quizzes, and study tests on Mastering Biology and you will do fine on exams. Questions for exams are basically the same as the practice quizzes online. Great professor

She's pretty nice. Don't talk in her class she hates that. She has clicker questions every day so make sure you go to class. Lab was easy I got an A and got a B + for the class. Exams can be tricky just make sure you really know the material.

She's pretty nice and very clear. Teaches straight from the textbook but she has clicker questions everyday so go to class. Exams CAN be tricky but overall fairly straightforward. Definitely recommend professor Walsh.

Walsh is a super nice lady. I'm a science person (especially bio) so this class was a breeze for me. It's basically AP biology but not as involved. My roommate seemed to struggle and she isn't a bio person, but there are tons of resources on Mastering Biology to help you study. The lab is a lot for 100 level, but it's nice if you like bio.

She is definitely a good teacher and knows what she is talking about, but she has an extremely annoying voice and you listen to her talk the entire class. I found this class to be quite difficult and I did study for it. However, I am not good at science. If you are just taking this class to fulfill a lab requirement, dont do it unless you enjoy bio

Took this class to satisfy my science with a lab requirement. Though it isn't awful, I feel like there are better courses to take. My exam grades never reflected how I felt I did on them because the questions are uncomfortably specific. Her PowerPoints aren't too helpful but she does strictly follow the book. The material isn't too difficult.

She's a nice teacher, but the material is hard to grasp if you aren't naturally good in Biology/forget info you learned in High School. Notes directly follow the textbook; come to class. She has clicker questions and explains confusing info from the textbook. Tests are hard to get used to. Mastering Bio/clicker q's significantly help your grade.

Great teacher. Shows videos in lecture at least once a week. Attendance is mandatory because she does clicker questions every class. If you just show up to class you will most likely do really well. The labs are probably the hardest part of the class and thats only because its taught by a different instructor. I strongly recommend this course.

I loved this class. Professor Walsh was very clear about what we had to know for tests as well as describing things clearly in class. If you go to her office hours for help she will greatly help you. She wants her students to do well in her class so as long as you put in a little effort you will do well in the class.

Lectures are pretty simple and straightforward if you stay on top on the material and the text. Read the textbook! If you read the sections as you do the online assignments, it's easy to stay on top of it and it 100% without a doubt will benefit you in the long run. Go into the class with a good mindset and you'll be fine!

This class confused me.. its for non majors however I feel like she taught us as if we were bio majors. The labs were boring and dumb but we got out early every time. Lab final was ridiculously hard. I went to her office hours once and she's so nice and was very helpful but I still don't understand this stuff

Do NOT read the textbook to study, rewatch the classes you struggled with and retake notes. The textbook has a lot of information, most of which she does not cover in classon tests. She ONLY tests on class information. If you put in the effort, you'll get the grade you want. Lab final is difficult, which is annoying.

I actually liked this class which surprised me. I've never liked bio but Professor Walsh is a great teacher so she made it enjoyable. She's very clear and kind, her tests are fair, and her lectures are pretty good for an intro to bio class. No cumulative exams, just 4 tests, all M.C. The lab portion's boring and its final is pretty hard but doable.

Great class. Tests were fair and she was very good at explaining material. Followed the book very closely so would suggest getting it. Lab was easy too, overall good course. Took it for my lab requirement and I would recommend it to others. Gives helpful study guides for each chapter too.

Honestly, this class covered a lot of info from my 10th grade honors bio class. you do have to study for exams, but everything is pretty clear. I really enjoyed this class She has a curriculum and sticks to it, because she's done this for years. I would recommend

Professor Walsh is a great teacher overall. As long as you take notes during lectures, participate for clicker questions, do the weekly online homework, and put a good amount of time into studying, you will do fine. She is very friendly, but tests can be tricky so make sure you study. Labs can be boring, but they often finish early.

For this class it is imperative that you take the time to read the textbook and also watch/attend the lectures as she gives hints to exam questions. The exams are challenging, but if you actually take the time to study it won't be hard to receiver an A in this course. It's definitely not an easy A! She also uses clickers for points!

If you have retained a basic understanding of high school biology, this course will be super easy for you. Her material is straight to the point and very simple for anyone with a high school education. She's a sweet lady, and does her best to teach the material in a way that's for nonmajors. The textbook and online homework are easy and interesting

Take this class! Pay attention to her lectures in class and you will do fine on the exams! She has UD capture which is helpful along with mastering biology which is very helpful but can be tricky! Labs are very easy and a great grade booster!

Dr. Walsh is a solid professor. Lectures are very clear and have a theme of relating concepts to practical applications (smoking, drinking, DNA testing). Homework can be rather tedious. Overall, I would strongly recommend Dr. Walsh as this course was a great fulfillment of my science with a lab breadth requirement.

She is nice, but her exam... not

Although she does not take attendance, she does use clicker questions as a component of her grading. (If you do not go to class you can't answer the clicker questions.) Overall, I would still take going to this class seriously because her lectures are very informative and vital to take notes. The tests are somewhat difficult if you do not study.

She is a great professor. She explains the material well and is very approachable. She counts i-clicker questions for attendance so go to class. I definitely recommend her!

She is a very nice women, she actually cares about the students. She hold review sessions before exams. The test are hard, in order to do well you have to do all your homework and read the textbook. The class is not hard to pass because their is clicker points, lab grade, homework points and then 4 exams and the final is not cumulative

Dr Walsh is a phenomenol Professor. As long as you go to class and actually pay attention, and keep up with readings and homework you are guaranteed to do well. Definitely go to office hours if you need help because she truly wants you to succeed and will help you if you ask for it. I highly recommend!

one of the best professors I've had at UD so far! Definitely take her class if possible. She is so easy to talk to and really cares about all her students. Read the textbook, go to office hours and ask questions if needed!

Professor Walsh is a very sweet lady and really cares about her students. She does clicker question every class. They aren't hard but it really helps your grade if you go to class. She also uses course capture so if you miss a class you can watch it online. She always offers extra help and has review sessions for every exam. I would take her again!

What she lectures on is what's going to be on the exams. Her lectures go in depth. She holds review sessions before every exam. Homework twice a week and is very helpful toward the exams.

I'm reading negative reviews so I thought I'd share my experience. The pandemic made it half online. She gives simple daily clicker quizzes. Before each exam she compiled a canvas page of recordings, Q&A's, lectures, etc. I can see what others are talking about, definitely you have to study on your own. She's so nice tho. Some labs were hard.

The lectures coordinate with the textbook chapters. To do well on the tests, which are not cumulative, just take notes in the class (lectures are posted on course capture), do the homework (which is online twice per week using Pearson), and study the available reviews guides. She is helpful in office hours and answers questions clearly.
