Phoebe is a great professor. She clearly loves what she's doing and very helpful with the students. She knows her material and knows how to make students understand without having to sound condescending unlike certain professors who has the PhD but do not know how to relate back to students. she teaches you how to learn stuff easily. bio isn't easy

Prof was extremely nice. attendance is important. typical class, if you study you'll do well. she provides study guides & is very helpful. kinda hard to understand sometimes but I recommend her

I really liked her. She is very nice and helpful. Ya she is hard to understand at times but she really wants everyone to pass. Offers lots of extra credit and curves grades. She is funny and unaware of it, respect her.

I really enjoyed the class even though it was a hard class. She is willing to help you if you really want to pass the class. She also curves the grade at the end which is helpful. She is very friendly but really cannot stand when students talk while she is lecturing.

I enjoyed her class. Attendance is not mandatory but she can dock subjective points for missing Lab. When attendance starts dwindling she sometimes gives extra credit for attendance. Read the lab exercises before going to lab and you'll be fine. You don't have to read the book, just study off of her powerpoints and take notes.

Shes really cool and sweet. Totally an awesome teacher!

She is super adorable! Makes class bearable and is really helpful in the labs. A little hard to understand, but you get used to it! Love her!

I was expecting this class to be fun and easy with Nishyama, but he retired and she had to fill in last minute. She is really nice and helpful. However, she is hard to understand and moves this class at a fast pace. Her tests were very difficult and seemed abstract, so study everything. Definately not what I was expecting.

She's really nice, but a little hard to understand at times. She explains the material well, but you have to pay attention because she zooms through lectures. But she provides awesome notes so you don't have to read the chapter too many times. The tests are HARD, but she curbs a lot.

Recommended,however she IS a little hard to understand and goes thru lectures VERY quickly.The text book is actually necessary to pass with an A.Most slides will not make sense w/out the text.Offers plenty of xtra credit.As a straight A student, I thought her tests were actually very challenging!

Biology is not an easy.I have not received my grade yet but she is a really good teacher, makes bio fun. It's not an easy class but if u want to learn biology she knows what she is talking about. Gives prizes And u can tell she loves to teach. there is no tolerance if u slack or miss a quiz. Gives extra credit. Sometimes moody. Most time adorable.

Great teacher! Make sure you attend lectures and if she focuses on something write it down. She does her best to explain things. Her tests are hard, but they are fair. She does move quickly. Make sure you read the book before the lecture and after the lecture. Do not wait till the last minute to study for the test.

Professor Gimple is really nice to her students even when she's being bombarded with questions during lab. You have to read a lot. Make sure to read every chapter that is assigned, and more importantly make sure you understand it. Her tests are challenging and force you to think critically. I would definitely take her again, given the opportunity.

Professor gimple is very sweet and genuinely wants you to do well in the class. The material itself is not hard.. Especially if you listen to her in class. All you need to do is study off of her power points. I've had friends take this class at other colleges and their experience has been much much worse than mine. Take her you won't regret it!

Professor Gimple is an AMAZING teacher!!! This class has been my favorite class out of all the classes I've taken and I'd totally reccomend her. It's a little challenging but if you put in effort you're going to do great!

Professor Gimple is very clear. A&P II is not an easy topic, but she helps if you ask for it. You will get out of this class what you put in. Study and keep up on reading and you will be fine. She is available by email (very responsive) and has office hours. Study, pay attention and ask questions.

She is helpful & patient when students don't understand things, but definitely will zoom through lectures and explanations you need pretty quickly. I don't recommend taking her during the Summer and especially the Winter. There is a lot of info you need to study, so going over her lectures & chapters in the book is highly recommended to pass.

Professor Gimple is tough! She will challenge you and has high expectations for her students. With that being said, she is VERY fair, organized, offers extra credit and many opportunities to raise our grade. Subjective points and lane will be your lifeline. Show up, participate, take notes and STUDY! Would take her again in a heartbeat!

The best professor I have ever had. Not only was she passionate about the subject, but she genuinely cares about you as a student. She is a tough grader, but thats only when people get too "wordy" with their answers; just be clear and to the point, like bullet points. She will definitely challenge you, but you will come out as a better student. :)

Biology was awesome with Gimple! It's a college course, expect to read and study on your own throughout the week. Review your notes daily and you'll definitely get an A.

Summer session. Labs are insanely easy and grading is fair. Just follow the directions and there should be no problem. Tests should be relatively clear-cut if you study- I listened to lectures and reviewed half an hour before each test and got out with an A. She explains patiently and has realistic expectations. Small extra credit opp at end.

If you want to take Biology seriously, this professor is the right one for you. It will show you if Biology is what you want or not right off the bat.

Gimple was great for BioSci 106. Her class consisted of labs, lab quizzes, tests, and TONS of extra credit. She posts study guides for her tests at the beginning of the unit and they are extremely helpful for tests. Lab practical at the end of the semester is the most stressful assignment, but if you do your labs all semester it's a breeze.

I thought Gimple was very sweet. I love her sense of humor in class and she always comes up with funny ways to remember things for the test. She comes off as if she's tough grader, but she isn't that strict at all. Her tests are pretty hard because they consist of EVERYTHING but she grades fast. TAKE HER IF YOURE A BIO MAJOR, youll learn a lot!

Prof. Gimple as a person is very kind, helpful, and always willing to answer your questions or help out if you're struggling, but her quizzes/exams are difficult b/c there is so much information. Labs are easy, but she does check your work and makes you fix your mistakes. She gives a lot of opportunities for extra credit too!

Can I just say my girl Phoebe is one of my most favorite professors EVER. She is kind, extremely helpful, and straightforward. No tricks. What she teaches is what's on the test. Anyone who doesn't do well either: a) underestimated the rigor of the class (it's bio, not counseling 101) or b) didn't put in the adequate time needed to pass the class.

This has been my favorite class so far. Prof Gimple makes the lectures interesting and her grading criteria is very clear. She offers a good amount of extra credit and her study guides were always accurate and thorough.

Although this is a difficult class, Professor Gimple is the best Biology teacher I could have asked for. After her class, I actually feel ready to take more advanced Biology classes. She gives easy ways for you to memorize the material. If you pay attention in class and study, you should easily pull off an A. She is seriously underrated here :(

Professor Gimple is great. She knows very much and will answer any questions and is willing to help. She wont leave you hanging, ask for help and she will help you. The study guides do help, she may say whats on the ppt. but she says more thats not on it. Her tests are easy if you study, sometimes reading the chapter and writing notes help too.

Professor Gimple really is an outstanding professor. Took her class during a winter semester and I have learned so much from her. She makes things easy to understand, but if you zone out during the class you will get lost. Used the textbook solely for answering questions from prelab, and she gives out many extra credit points.

Professor Gimple is an amazing teacher, super straight-forward. Labs are easy because she gives you a couple chances to get everything right which ensures full credit evertime. Quizzes are a bit difficult and require a bit of studying. Tests are content heavy but they're exactly what in the lectures an 95% of it is the material posted online 10/10

Great professor! Pre-labs are sometimes lengthy but during lab she makes everything super clear. The practical and tests are difficult but studying is made easier with the provided study guides. Ample extra credit is available but dont rely on it. Lectures are long but shes energetic and funny enough that itd be hard to fall asleep.

Professor Gimple's lectures are interesting but are content heavy. Her class in the summer is difficult, however, she taught in a way that helped me to remember and learn plants from a different perspective. She gives you great opportunities to earn extra credit as the end of the semester comes close.

It is not an easy class, but if you put in the hard work it is manageable. Study the lectures heavily as her test are extremely detailed (book only used for pre-labs). She does grade picky, but offers ample extra credit (up to 40 points). She also curves the test by a few points. Her lectures are hard to fall asleep in as she is extremely energetic

I took this during winter DONT recommend unless your 110% all in for 5 wks shes extremely fast but tip if you audio record & go over lecture notes youll be fine shes very smart & knows what shes talking about I got a C in my first test and failed a quiz but still passed with an A she offered lots of EC just make sure to STUDY her slides

Don't expect an easy A, you will have to work for your grade. I took this class over winter, so it was fast pace and a lot of information. Her test are detailed and she is a picky grader, but if you study her slides you will do good on the test. I only used the textbook to answer prelab questions. She offers a lot of extra credit, so use that!!

Professor Gimple follows her syllabus to the letter. All her instructions are to be listened to. Notetaking is essential. She makes sure to say what will or will not be on each exam and quiz. Her study guides are extremely helpful when studying and cover all the appropriate material. She is always there to help and her lectures are clear.

Amazing professor! Tests can be somewhat difficult, but if you memorize the powerpoint slides, then you should be fine. Pay attention to examples in lectures! Final lab practical exam was pretty fair. She gives study guides, which are super helpful! For lab quizzes, take precise notes in the lab lecture. Don't be afraid to ask for help.

COVID-19. Strict professor. There's no actual lecture to cover the exams, only the labs. She gives power points that have all the necessary information though. The key to pass is studying EVERYTHING on them. Record the lab lectures as they help sometimes since she drops hints now and again. Getting an A is hard but feasible. Lots of extra credit.

Took her class during summer of the pandemic. Class time is almost exclusively for the labs, so you'll have to teach yourself the rest. Just keep up with the readings and don't miss a class. The material is difficult, but she knows it well and if you read, she can answer questions very concisely. Easy extra credit, too.

Prof. Gimple's class is very tough, but it's not too hard if you put in the work. Her Zoom classes are mostly for the lab, but she reviews the lectures a little. Lab quizzes are intense, and that lab final was terrible. The exams aren't as bad as long as you study for them. Definitely not an easy class, but she's very knowledgeable in the subject.

I was very hesitant to stay in Professor Gimples class however, Im glad I did! Theres a few things that you should be aware of though. Shes very knowledgeable and loves the subject but is a very picky grader. Its hard but doable. I took it over winter semester so it was shorter but, if you put in the work, you can definitely pass!

Professor Gimple's tests were super difficult and I failed all but 1 exam, but I managed to get a B by doing good on the labs which are easy and doing good on the practical and doing extra credit and participating. Her quizzes are pretty easy if you study the labs and go over what she said for the lab.

Took Professor Gimple's class during the intersession and while it was fast paced, it's passable. Her lecture style may not work for everyone, but I found them to be very interesting and motivational. She's very passionate and her class made me fall in love with biology all over again. Review the slides and put in the time; you can pass this class.

I took her class fall 2023 and she was great! Her lectures were fast passed but it made the 3 hour class go by quickly. She is so passionate about biology and makes it so interesting, study for the exams and pay attention in the labs and you will pass!

Prof Gimple has a great format for learning biology. It's not homework-heavy, so you have extra time to study for the tests. The lectures are fast-paced and the Labs/prelabs can take a while. Her grading criteria aren't always clear, so attend office hours if you have questions.

She's a really good teacher and knows her stuff when it comes to biology. I recommend her to anyone who wants to learn. However, there's little to no homework. Your grade relies solely on the fact that you have to be a good test taker. I'm not one and managed to pass because of extra credit opportunities.

She is passionate about bio and gives lots of extra credit. But, her grading criteria isn't clear most of the time and she talks super fast. Make sure to pay attention to her slides and notes for lab and lecture quizzes/exams, as she will put things you don't expect on there. Overall, she's not a bad teacher by any means and I enjoyed her class.

I took this class in Fall 2024 and this was such a great class! She gave extra credit on every single test & her study guides matched exactly what was going to be on the test. Just make sure to study! Her labs were great & she would give multiple chances to fix mistakes. Overall she's a very nice and caring professor and taking her class was fun!

The class is hard, but she really wants you to learn. There's no hw other than prelab/growth exp, but is graded mostly on tests/quizzes. Very detailed study guides. Lectures can be a bit fast paced, so make sure to review. She gives a lot of unannounced ec (50+pts)! Just be sure to attend class. Very kind if you're willing to put in the effort.

She was a great professor, but you really need to review again and again as the subject itself is very memorization heavy. A lot of students barely studied and expected to get good grades. Can grade a little slow though. LOTS OF EC!! The study guides are very detailed, so make sure to use them. This class definitely taught me how to study WELL!
