helpful, available, knowledgable, clear and concise...a wonderful teacher by all accounts! What are the rest of you people on?

Excellent teacher

One of the best professors I've ever had. Skilled teacher. Cares about students. Makes learning fun and interesting and relevant.

helpful

Very interesting class. Prof. Braun makes class very interesting and the experiments are fun. She gives lots of extra credit and lets you take notes with you to the tests. Open Book final!

This class is cake, and it is pretty interesting. Extra credit like its part of the curriculum, and an open book final. I learned a lot too. She's really nice too.

Excellent teacher, very helpful when asked. Too bad Dr Braun does not teach all the classes at Fairfield University as she is the best teacher I have seen - keep up the good work!

You will learn a lot of amazing things in this class. Probably the most I've ever learned in a year.

Good teacher. Has to teach very difficult material and succeeds.

I like her, class is hard but only because of the material that's being covered. Really intersting stuff b/c you can relate it to your life.

She knows how to teach to the whole person and she makes the course interesting. She also happens to allow 2 pgs of notes per chapter and has extra credit assignments. It's a great class :)

great teacher.very fair.really wants to help her students. material is boring but she tries to make it more interesting. its a good class in general.

shut yo face **** shes my mom

Everyone in my class doesn't like her, but I do. Lots of material, but it's all very interesting and she teaches a lot of practical stuff too. Lets you bring in a page of notes (F&B) per chapter on tests, and the final is open book! Plus, 5 point extra credit papers for each test. Not very hard at all. Good professor, good class.

excellent teacher. i dont know what any one else is talking about; she's great.

Panicked prior to taking this class for core, but actually isn't that bad...she's very clear, can bring cheat sheets for tests, and a fair grader

Great class, learned a lot. Demanding but not impossible. Instructor very clear and organized. Not sure what the others had problems with..perhaps they were academically challenged !

very challenging course but you learn alot. she really tries to drill the material into you, and even though the tests are very hard, she curves at the end. great prep for health prof. school

After taking 2 courses I can safely say that she is perhaps the most knowledgeable and effective teachers of any of the Fairfield Biology staff. Her courses are also the most difficult and academically demanding. If you are looking for an easy ride I suggest looking elsewhere but if you are interested in challenging yourself and learning something

Very good class for any biology major. It was a large challenge with a lot of work but I learned more in this class than in any other. Dr. Braun did a great job covering so much material in such a short time. Negative comments about this class could only be due to lack of interest in biology or lack of studying.

Love her! She is such a nice lady & the best bio teacher out of the 5 that I've had at Fairfield. She is very straight forward, and she wants you to do well. Allows cheat sheets for all tests, and final is open book. The material can be challenging, but she makes it interesting. One of Biology's best!!!!!

Braun as a teacher could never be described as easy, but neither could the stuff she's teaching. Virology is difficult, and even if you enthrall yourself in it, you still may not end up with great grades, but you will learn an INCREDIBLE amount. If you're looking for a hard class and learning a lot, she's your professor.

I am a business major & took this class for core & it was an interesting class. I actually learned alot, one of the few classes that I reference things I learned.. in everyday life. I's not an easy subject, so thats why alot of people say shes hard. As long as you show effort, you're ok. Go to her office, ask some BS questions. Offers extra credit.

Excellent teacher, very helpful when asked. Dr Braun should teach all the classes at Fairfield University as she is the best teacher I have seen -

I absolutely love this woman... i am going to take every class that she teaches

One of the most intelligent and enthusiastic professors I have had. Covers a lot of information and really wants the students to fully understand the concepts and be able to apply them. She is challenging and has definitely made me a better student and more knowledgable. Would take every one of her classes.

she grows on you. I had her for both semesters of gen bio lab, 170 and 171. knows her stuff. smile in class and don't be lazy. she knows who puts in effort and who doesn't.

An excellent instructor. Clearly presents the material but you must have a general understanding of the lab exercise. Does not tolerate slackers

Best Bio teacher Ive had at Fairfield. We covered a lot of material and I worked really hard but it paid off. Very fair grader.

I took Virology and Molecular and learned so much. The material is always on exams like MCAT and come up again professional programs (PA, MD, DO, etc) so theyre a must if you want to feel well prepared. Weekly summaries of your notes are optional but you get extra points if you do them AND she corrects them! Its a no brainer. Take these classes.

Lab was awesome. Dr. Braun really teaches you how to learn and how to be a better student in the lab and the classroom. Helped me excel in all of my other bio classes and labs.

I loved this class! it. It isn't easy, but if you read and take notes then it's hard to fail. Dr. Braun is a great teacher, she is really passionate about her subject and she knows her stuff! She's very clear, but don't be afraid to ask questions if you're lost.

Dr Braun is one of the best professors in my opinion. She is always ready to help if you need it. She explains very well if you have a hard time will spend time going over it. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great professor she is the one.

Dr. Braun often gets a bad rap since she teaches Virology, one of the hardest Biology classes at Fairfield. I will be starting professional school this year and I really feel that the rigor of her class prepared me for the challenges ahead. She is absolutely one of the nicest and smartest professors in the Biology department if you put in the work.

Fantastic class Never learned so much. I feel ready for my graduate program.

Excellent teacher. Really knows her stuff, however she knows when you arent prepared. She tries to get you ready for upper division classes

Dr. Braun is the best professor at Fairfield University. She loves what she teaches, she is always accessible outside of class, and she is always there for her students. Her molecular class has changed me as a student - I now know the value of hard work and how to study properly so that the material is retained for a long time.

The previous evaluations regarding this lab was all written by the same person which had no basis in reality. Labs were organized, grades were fair. She always was accessible for questions both in lab and during office hours

Dr. Braun is passionate about the material she teaches and challenges students to push themselves. Her courses teach you how to think critically about the material. Her courses are challenging, but doable. I recommend that anyone who plans on going to medical school take one of her courses. Her goal is to prepare students for grad school and beyond

Dr. Braun is a wonderful professor and person! I have so enjoyed le

Very smart and interesting professor. Teaches you to learn how to study to actually retain information and apply it. Accessible outside of class and will help you understand any material you didn't get. Really interesting class and a great professor.

Excellent instructor, interesting lecture material and assignments!

This core course was amazing. Lectures super interesting and relevant. Provided the textbook we used.

Excellent instructor . Never learned so much in a course. Feel really prepared for grad school.

Very interesting core science course-Gave a project to teach the differences between science and pseudoscience/ opinion in social media. Tests were fair, one was a take- home and could use book/ and her PowerPoints. No final just a small research project that she guided you through. Always available for questions and very responsive to emails

I had Dr Braun as a freshman and was looking forward to taking one of her upper divisIon course. I am so sorry to hear she retired. She was an incredible teacher.
