Professor Rizr was awesome. She was understanding of unique student situations and was exceptionally helpful. Course material was difficult, but extra credit was offered.
Mrs. Rizor was awesome. She was very helpful and easy going. I would recommend to everyone! By far my best Professor!
i really enjoyed Professor Rizor's lectures. there was a lot of work but i learned a lot from doing it and i appreciate biology more from taking the class and lab.
Really enjoyed this semester with Mrs.Rizor. She is a great teacher and was always there to listen, help, and never judged. Would recommend this class to anyone needing to take it.
I really enjoyed taking professor Rizor Bio lab as well as lecture. Though there was a lot of work throughout the semester she was extremely helpful and welcomed questions. I would highly recommend her as an instructor.
GREAT PROFESSOR HANDS DOWN!!!
She is absolutely amazing! Her class was my favourite so far, classes are so much fun. Advice: print the power points she uses and just add additional notes right on there. I recommend her definitely!
She's incredible. Legitimately cares about not only your success in the course, but more so your learning and retention of the material. This professor expects commitment as well. If you want an "easy" A, look elsewhere. To be successful in her class you must bring initiative and take responsibility for yourself. Then, you'll earn an A easily.
Professor Rizor is the best. Science is a subject where I have challenges. She was very helpful and willing to assist you in passing the class. If you attend class regularly and follow her instructions along with taking notes you will pass. I luv her. Excellent teacher.
She is very helpful. She teach every topic clearly. If you need assistance, she will be there right away.. She is cool.. She speaks clearly and loudly. I prefer this class to everyone..
It isn't an easy class, you will have to study but if you put forth an effort, she will go above and beyong to ensure you understand. Her lecture style is fun and conversational. She makes the material interesting and memorable. I wish she taught other classes so I could take her again.
She was fantastic!
Mrs. Rizor is a great teacher! Her teaching style is fun and it keeps you interested. I thoroughly enjoyed her class. There is a big work load, but totally worth it if you have Mrs. Rizor. If you need a biology credit TAKE MRS. RIZOR!! Her classes are on Saturdays, but she lets you out early sometimes because who wants to be at school on a Saturday
If you go to class and do your work, you will get an A. Also be sure to study for her tests. They aren't impossible, but she also doesn't make it easy. Mrs. Rizor is a fun, easygoing, exciting teacher and she makes it worth learning biology. Definitely would recommend taking her class!
Very helpful and easy if you pay attention. Overall great teacher I highly recommend.
Professor Rizor is overall an awesome easy teacher. If you do the online homework/quizzes and come to class then its a easy A or B. Her test are fair, simple and mostly easy. Overall, she's a great professor who makes the class entertaining. TAKE HER IF YOU SHE AVAILABLE!
This was by far the best BIO class that I have ever had the privilege of attending. Mrs. Rizor is fair, and has a way of explaining the material with ease and relatability. If you have the opportunity to attend her class I would highly recommend taking both lecture and lab with her as they tend to cross over.
Well there are a lot of things I can say about my professor, but because I have to keep this comment clean that knocks a few off. Rachael Rizor is a teacher who tells you from the day you walk in that the class is as hard as you make it. She is very lenient with grades and she knows nobody wants to be there and tries to make class fly so we can go.
Always gave a hundred percent and expected it in return... Always patient and truly wanted us to learn the material... She did not just breeze over it. A Great and professional professor. I highly recommend.
Great teacher
Professor Rizor is a great teacher. She is pretty awesome in both Lecture and Lab. If you find yourself struggling in class she take time to make sure you understand the material. I recommend her to anyone. I would say do not slack in this class the work to me was fairly easy to do.
seriously the most caring, knowledgeable teacher ive had. also extremely interesting. if you are not doing well, she will literally sit down and help find a way to help you understand. HIGHLY recommend her.
Really fun and interesting. She likes the subject, and is a good bio teacher. She will show a lot of videos that are just fun to watch, but they are short, and they fit with the material. Would definitely take another class from her.
Professor Rizor is tough a lot of what she says she goes in circles but over all she's a good professor
She is a great teacher in lecture, if you pay attention and do the work(which is fairly easy)you are definite to get an A. On the other hand in lab shes a good teacher but its a lot of work, she goes straight by the book, i recommend getting another teacher where you will understand the material a lot more. Her attitude is wonderful though.
She is a very good professor. I finished her class feeling smarter than I was when I started. I'd highly recommend her.
overall i enjoyed the class, but i do recommend that you don't take this class with a full load because it requires a lot of time and work.
She's a great teacher and makes you work for your grade.
One of my favorite teachers so far. Would take her again in a heartbeat. If you do what your expected to do and show up for class you will have no problem . She is understanding and helpful.
Ms. Rizor is a great professor. She takes the time to explain the material to make sure you understand. Do the extra credit early to get the most points. Make sure you study each thing she tells you to study, it will be on the exams. Be in class, on-time, everyday. If you miss a lab you will have to make it up. Heavy to medium work load.
Best teacher I've taken at csm. She is really helpful. Really easy grader. If you do the work you will get a A or B easily. There are 3 exams and they are super easy.. I also took the lab class with her. Lab is actually more work then the class. A lot of work but it's really easy stuff. If you need a bio credit , TAKE HER CLASS :)
She's was a wonderful teacher and if I needed another science class I would no doubt take her again. Was really enjoyable, does not accept late work but never really had that problem. Tests are long but if you do the homework you will have no problem with the tests!!
She is so funny and really does her best for you to succeed in her class.
This was a lecture class and Prof. Rizor broke things done so I could understand biology. She gave good suggestions on how to learn the taxonomy and applied the things that we were learning to everyday life which I found extremely helpful. She provided opportunities for you to earn extra credit and was upfront and honest.
I really enjoyed the lab. Prof. Rizor made the class interesting and fun. I especially enjoyed when we had to name the species and work on projects as a team. The group projects were fun and learned more than I thought I would in this class. I took it as a requirement and it wasn't as easy I thought it would be but in the end, I enjoyed it.
Super funny and a great teacher
If you do the work on time and read assignments you will pass. She is clear and precise on what is required to pass the class and willing to help you understand material. She gives good feedback on assignments and was accessible to students.
Complete assignments on time and ask questions if you need help. She will provide feedback to help you with assignments.
Interesting, knowledgeable, informative, engaging
Ms. Rizor made the lab class as fun as it was going to get. She's one of those professors that really has a sense of humor. You will have homework in the lab class, but don't worry it'll only be a page or two. Do the extra credit that's offer early in the semester and you will pass easily!!
Professor Rizor did a great job of teaching Zoology. I'll be honest, when I signed up for the class, it was because I needed a science credit. By the end of the semester, I was genuinely interested in Biology and am considering modifying my major to something more science related. I would absolutely take a class with Professor Rizor again. A+
I absolutely loved her as professor! She made the course easy to understand. She was fun, interactive and entertaining. She's the reason I had any interest in the subject matter.
She is a good instructor.
Good Professor.
This has been one of my favorite classes at the college, Rizor is the most helpful and entertaining professors I have ever had. While the class does require a lot of work, she teaches in a way that if you are in class you will understand exactly what is going on, and is willing to help you. Would take any class taught by her in the future.
Great communicator and teacher. Fine professional
A very good professor that knows her Biology! It is amazing how she lectures with no notes. She is truly passionate Biology!
Rizor is great and understanding! I took her for a mini sessions and the workload was heavy but she made everything clear. Our test were online and she made sure we knew everything on the test. Do the work and you will pass!
Thoroughly enjoyed this class. I learned something(s) every class. Her personality and teaching style make the class. She does everything in her power to help you out. I wish she could teach all my classes. Showing up to class is a huge benefit. Saves a lot of mystery on what to focus your time for exams.
Miss Rizor was very understanding and is a great professor
Professor Rizor is great. I loved taking her class, super easy. The material was interesting, easy to follow and she's very understanding. She grades things quickly and provides feedback.
I took BIO 1020 online and I could not be happier. It was my first online class but professor Rizor had a clear cut outline and clear expectations. She also was very good at grading and answering emails. If you take the time to do the work this class is not difficult.
Professor Rizor is a great professor, she is extremely helpful. I definitely recommend her!
Very easy class , and she responds fast to emails!
I've taken her classes in person and online. She is so wonderful. I wish she could be my teacher for every subject. She gives great feedback. Is extremely understanding and helpful. She gives great directions and helpful hints. Online or in person, her classes and teaching style are great.
If you need to take a BIO general education requirement class, sign up for Professor Rizor. Her syllabus is clear so you will understand everything she expects from you. She grades within a day or two after you turn required work in so you always know how you are doing. She responds to email quickly if you need anything.
Good Professor grades assignments in a quickly manner! If you do your work youll pass. Not a big fan of TEDTalks, but still got an A on the assignments!
Professor Rizor is amazing! The class is very clear and simple to maneuver through! I would definitely recommend!
Really good teacher, take class online and its pretty easy. Teds every other week... there easy, no complaints great professor.
Amazing teacher ! Minimal homework, which definitely helped me with my other classes who overwhelmed me with homework. Would take again!!
I was not sure about taking an online class at first because I am so used to lectures. However, this online class gave a good first impression. The professor is great she helps you with whatever questions or difficulties you have. I would definitely recommend taking her for an online lab.
Great Professor. Would definitely recommend her for anyone to take for Zoology Lab Online Class. She is very understanding and quick to respond to emails. Easy class. You do the work then you pass.
I took Zoology Lecture Online and it was great and fitted so well in my schedule. She is an excellent professor and definitely recommend her to anyone that needs a science class.
She gives great feedback just have to be specific with your answers on work.
I had a great time in this class, Professor Rizor was willing to wok with my demanding work schedule and give additional help where needed. I would 100% take one of her classes again.
This was a good online lab. The assignments were super spaced out so you have plenty of time to complete them.
Gets back to questions I had on email pretty quickly
Attentive professor! Learned a lot!
Excellent Feedback on assignments. Told you how to improve and what you did correct.
Professor Rizor was precise in her expectations of participation and how the assignments should be completed. Good feedback
Professor Rizor gives great feedback on all turned in assignments. There are two projects for the class that are 20% of your grade. The project I turned in was done incorrectly and she allowed me to correct it for a higher grade.
She clearly cares about seeing her students do well. If you're having trouble, and you actually work in + care about the course, she'll be very willing to help you. I had a problem with the final exam and my grade dropped from an A to an F and she was willing to extend the deadline for me. Get started on your project early.
Professor Rizor is great ! She is very good with communication, and will work with you. I had no difficulty with this class. My grade simply reflected me completing things by the due date and being as accurate as possible. If you take her Bio1020 L as well, then test/ photo journals are the biggest things to worry about. Over all I enjoyed her.
Best teacher Ive had at CSM by far. Is so reachable, accommodating, actually cares about her students doing well, and made this weird online semester actually fun. Would so recommend her, you wont regret it.
She is so amazing !! I love her and would so love to have her again ! She is always there to help when you need it, and is extremely understanding. 100/10 recommend her.
I really enjoyed the class I took with Professor Rizor. Her class allowed me to critically think about topics that I would normally think about. Her class also allowed me to feel like my opinion mattered and to learn about very interesting subject matter. She even tied the class into Maryland and allowed us to learn more about our own local area.
Professor Rizor was wonderful to work with and really took her time to communicate, understand, and help students understand, teach, and complete the work that was required, especially due to the ongoing pandemic. She was extremely thoughtful and considerate and I would definitely recommend having her as a professor .
Shes very thoughtful and gives good feedback. Highly recommend!
Professor Rizor is an excellent teacher. We didn't use textbooks in this class, but she provided Power Point and/or Word Documents that had the lessons we needed for each module. The directions for each assignment are clear and easy to understand. She always posts reminders of due dates and always offers the chance to email her with questions.
There many be a lot of work but its easy and Mrs. Rizor is a fair grader! (I also took a shortened semester online so thats probably why there was a lot of work but its not that bad)
I recommend professor Rizor, she made this class enjoyable and fun. I learned so much, even though it was an online class it was not too hard.
I highly HIGHLY recommended planning beforehand. Look at labs that require you to go somewhere or have certain materials because nothing was worse than not having items to do an assignment. Tests were a bit hard but everything else is quite simple. Overall, Professor Rizor is an understanding person and very easy to talk to if you need help.
Professor Rizor made sure everyone felt welcome and knew they could always ask her for help. She always made herself available and made sure everyone knew what they were doing and were able to complete the work. She gave many chances for extra credits and did all she could to ensure her students would pass.
A wonderful teacher. Just finished a mini-class with her, although it was a lot of work weekly, the work was manageable. 2 discussions, 1 test, and a few assignments weekly (3 chapters a week with reading) which she grades quick and gives great feedback. The work was fun and very interesting. Would take this class and her again.
Professor Bateman is a great instructor. Her labs are super interesting and easy to complete at home with things you typically have at home. Overall I really recommend taking her courses!
She made this class enjoyable, not stressful, and getting an A came effortlessly. 10/10 would recommend. If for whatever reason you dont succeed in this class, it falls solely on you. Shes an amazing teacher.
Professor Bateman gave great feedback on assignments and projects along with a clear grading criteria. I really enjoyed taking this course as it gave me a better view and understanding of critical thinking in science. Professor Bateman is awesome! I highly recommend her.
Professor Bateman is amazing. She is so sweet and helpful. I received good feedback on my assignments and the grading criteria was clear. You have assignments to do and two exams. She also offers extra credit. Definitely take her! Labs are easy to do at home.
I enjoyed the online Biology Lab class. The work was not too much & not too little & I appreciated that the lab reports were done every other module. Professor Bateman is willing to help outside class & gave good feedback!
Science is not my fav subject by far, but Prof Bateman was GREAT!! She was quick w/ responding to emails. She was very helpful whether it was through email or zoom. I definitely would take her again if I have the opportunity. If you do the work you will get an A. This was an online summer class. This was a great experience and class.
I am not strong in science, but with Professor Bateman I passed the class. Be prepared for homework. The most difficult for me were tests. Because the limited time and you should know the terminology to answer the questions. Manage your time very well. If could passed the class you can d it as well.
Thank so much!
Professor Bateman was great! If I had any questions she would email me back within the same day ! She does not overwhelm you with work but gives you enough to where you do need to put in the effort . Definitely isnt a class where you can slack , lots of hands on things . Overall one of the best online professors Ive had
Professor Bateman took her time to help me understand the course. I appreciated her patience with me.
Awesome Professor! She was always there when I needed help and with it being a web based class that I took from her she always made sure we were on top of everything.
As a former student of Professor Bateman I can tell you she is one of the most competent and caring teachers at CSM I have had so far. Youll honestly regret not taking her course if youre currently contemplating on what biology professor to take.
Professor Bateman is my favorite professor so far. She is caring and genuinely cares about her students. She answers back fast and emails you when something big is due in case you havent done it. She understands that people have school and work and gives you plenty of time to do the work.
Professor Bateman is a caring person, who is great at what she does. I have definitely learned a lot in this class. She responds to emails super fast. She will answer any questions or concerns you have. She also helped me to be stress free when I was a little stressed about my plant growth experiment. I would love to take a class with her again.
She is a wonderful professor and I have taken many classes taught by her. Although I got a B in this class, out of all of the other I have taken from her I received an A. Would I recommend this class? Yes if it is taught by her, but no if it is still offered as a 7-week course through CSM. Those 7-week classes do not offer enough time to learn.
Enjoyed the class. For my first time coming back the class was very much at ease and made me feel real comfortable.
Professor Bateman was one of the best. She was excited about the class which rubbed off on students. She was efficient in getting back to students about any and all questions they may have. If you got a low score on a grade she would show grace and allow you to revise your work. I would absolutely suggest her is she is an option for you!
Amazing! I have never liked science but she made me enjoy this subject! She gave feedback whenever you needed it and she was so fast to respond to emails. Her class was the first in person class I had taken since COVID19 hit and it was all I could of hoped for. She makes class fun and she is very understanding of what you have going on.
I didn't have to reach out very often, but when I did she was always easy to get ahold of and was very thorough with her responses! She had great energy and was super sweet I will certainly take her again.
Rachael Bateman is an excellent teacher and took time out to explain the things that I did not understand. This was the first biology class that I have ever taken and she was very understanding. I learned a lot in her class, more than I expected to learn. I definitely recommend anyone taking a zoology lab class to take hers.
Fantastic professor! It can be difficult for an online professor to show that they care about the material they're teaching as well as making sure the students do well in the course, and I'm happy to say that wasn't the case at all for Professor Bateman! Would definitely recommend taking this course
Professor Bateman was a great and engaging instructor. She explained topics in depth and emphasized discussion and group work. She was helpful and understanding with grading and assignments. I thoroughly enjoyed taking Scientific Reasoning and having her as a professor.
Personally, for this being my first-semester professor Bateman made things very easy and welcoming for me to adjust.
As a returning student, I was worried about getting back into my education and the consequences of that choice, Mrs. Bateman showed me why its important. Her class was well placed and spaced out despite the 7 week time constraint, and I've left much wiser than I was going in. I would recommend her, especially for this class up and down!
Professor Bateman was an awesome science teacher. I loved her passion for science. She constantly would challenge students to think critically and to do their research. I would recommend taking her class if you are looking for a professor who is passionate about what they are teaching.
Professor Bateman is a professor that genuinely cares about the outcome of her students. She is easy to communicate with outside of the classroom and she gives good responses. She is willing to help you out with any problem you might have. She also really tries to make the material she is teaching interesting.
I had professor Bateman for Zoology and Zoology lab and got an A in both classes. The Zoology textbook is online. The lectures where informative and we usually had extra time at the end of class. The labs were fun and helpful and the tests were pretty easy as long as you do the study guides. 10/10 would definitely take again.
Professor's Bateman's in person lectures were very informative. She was able to explain the material by comparing to every day experiences.
Professor Bateman is fantastic. She knows the subject matter and will bend over backward to help students gain the insight needed to pass the course. Online has some limitations with labs, so I would recommend taking the course in person. You won't regret having Professor Bateman as your instructor. Hands down, one of the best CSM instructors.
Really great teacher and good lectures. Very easy and informational lectures that aren't boring and drawn out over 3 hours. She really cares about what she has to say and it shows in her teaching. Can not recommend enough. Easy class. Mandatory textbook. Lots of group work though. Every class we worked with at least one other person.
Very nice and caring person. Would like to have her again for more classes
Professor Bateman helped me a lot. I took BIO 1060L during the summer and she was there via Zoom to help me with questions I had. Highly recommend that you take her.
Professor Rachael Bateman is an outstanding instructor. She is very unique Professor explaining and teaching the course. I gained a lot of knowledge from her inside the classroom and at home on the computer.
Very versatile instructor who is always looking out for her students best interests
Professor Bateman uses different forms of teaching for conveying the same idea or lessons. She add hands on teaching like learning through physical practice which helped me to engage more in the lectures.
This professor is great for anyone who has an interest in things scientific, she has a great personality and caring nature towards all her students and I would retake her classes in a heartbeat.
I loved Professor Bateman's class!
Prof. Bateman has been one of my favorite professors I have had so far through my time in college.
Amazing professor! Her work was simple, and directly applied to the class material, so I never felt that I was wasting any time or effort. She was super understanding when I had some personal problems and fell behind and allowed me to continue to submit work. Not to mention her lectures were interactive and she is a funny person!
She is very good, she is very good at clarifying and making sure everyone understands the content. The labs were fun and interesting.
She understands stuff happens, realizes mental health is important. She is great professor I might take classes I don't need to have her again. If she cancels a class for personal reasons she will send an email! Check email before every class. Due date is due date. unless some technology issue happens. She struggles with technology be patient.
Professor Bateman was a great teacher and everyone should take her. She was very kind and was willing to work with her students even through her illness. Very inspiring. -MARK GOFFE
Professor Bateman was absolutely amazing. She was so kind and energetic everyday and so helpful with all my questions. I never had an issue reaching out and she responded quickly every time. She offers extra credit just for being in class so that also amazing. I have so many good things to say about her and really recommend her!- katie shurgot
I loved her class so much! She is so kind and understanding, she will give extensions as long as you ask ahead of time and give good reasons. She always replies to emails and helps as much as she can, and she really gave me so much motivation and belief in myself that I actually decided to change my major because she made me confident enough :)
She's pretty good.
Professor Bateman has by far been one of my favorite professors. She's very understanding and works with you to help you understand the course material.
Gives very clear instructions. Is engaging and lets you know exactly what you need for the test. Also provides plenty of extra credit opportunities.
The way she taught us was very clear and I always asking if we help with anything we need.
Professor Bateman is a fantastic teacher. She is always willing to put in the extra work to help out students that may fall behind and she genuinely cares for her students
100% would recommend, I chose the zoology class specifically for Professor Bateman! Just make sure you keep up with the assignments there will be a decent amount. All the homework and quizzes were open book, the only thing that wasn't was the midterm and final.
Professor Bateman was fantastic. She really cares about Science and it's role in society. She will absolutely work with you when it comes to tests and assignments. Her study guides are great and really help with the exams. Would recommend 10/10
Professor Bateman was great! If I had any issues in regards to assignments or quizzes she was very resourceful. Even though the course was asynchronous, she was easy to get in touch with. Would take this professor again! Amazing.
Professor Bateman is the best on campus; she is really easy to work with, helps you understand the material in multiple ways of learning, and finds new ways to make class fun and engaging. My 3 hour class felt like 30 minutes because of how fun it was.
Easy to follow class, coursework is well laid out. Class is fire!
Provided clear understanding material, textbook while required was free online, work was easy but still provided enough critical thinking that one had to think to get the answer.
It was great having class with professor Bateman
Professor Bateman makes this class very easy for everyone. She is very understanding and will give great feedback. She is also very easy to talk to and I respect her.
She wants everyone to succeed in her class. Very understanding if certain students are struggling in the class. She's willing to help you even during off class.
Professor Bateman is a very good instructor to take. She explains things in ways that are easy to understand and she always answers your questions thoughtfully. If you put forth the effort and take the class seriously she will work with you to have a good semester. I highly recommend taking this professor for any class.
Professor Bateman is one of my favorite professors! She is funny, caring, understanding, gives extra credit, and more! Make sure to email her for anything that may come up, she is very understanding when it comes to life. Example: I emailed her ahead of time if I had a work meeting and had to leave a little early considering I drive an hour to work
Professor Bateman is a fantastic professor! She is very passionate about her students and wants them to succeed. Is willing to help students where they are at. I have already taken Professor Bateman for Scientific Reasoning and she is amazing!! I recommend her for anyone taking Sciences.
I took oceanography for fun and ended up absolutely loving it! Professor Bateman is wonderful, and honestly the TED assignments she had us do were my favorite part of the class. She was incredibly helpful and kind, and her feedback and extra resources provided made for a great semester.
She us absolutely amazing and always willing to help you in anyway so that you can be successful in her class.
Overall great Professor, loved her!
I've taken a few classes with Professor Bateman, and I've loved them all. She truly cares about her students, and she doesn't make it about the grades. She allows retakes and is very understanding. I also enjoy her lectures. Interesting and pretty funny. 10/10, would recommend!
Professor Bateman was amazing. Very caring and will help you if you need it. Not too much course work and we only had 3 research papers and no quizzes
Great professor who grades fairly.
She is very accommodating and will make sure you will get the grade if you put in the effort
Prof Bateman is amazing - she makes the class super engaging and cares about students succeeding. The free online textbook and her study guides were super helpful. Unstuckstudy was a game-changer for prepping for exams too.
This is hands down one of the best teacher at CSM. She is super understanding, she wants to see you do well, and overall the ranking does not lie. She truly is a dope teacher. If you do the work, and make the time for schooling she will overly do her part to make sure you pass her class. Remember these key words COMMUNICATION, and TRANSPARENCY!!!!!
Professor Bateman is by far the best professor I've had so far. Her assignments are reasonable and she's always willing to help. Her extra credit assignments are fun and easy. We need more professors like her, 100% would take again!
Professor Bateman is an example of what an educator should be. Her grading policy is clear, she's understanding and give leniency when appropriate. I took one of her classes prior and I was fortunate to have her for two classes this semester. The work is reasonable and she's quick to help. Do yourself a favor and sign up for her classes.
Cool, easy, and chill professor. You can tell that she wants you to understand the concept and not to just get an A. She persistently checked if we understood everything she was teaching. She was also very resilient when it came to her health as she always showed up the best way she could.
She's so amazing and one of the best teachers I've had. She genuinely cares for students inside and outside of school.
This course was thoroughly enjoyable; the work was very hands on and interesting. Lab work and other document assignments did not feel overwhelming regardless of length and questions were answered asap regardless of if the concern was emailed or in person. The in-class environment was very organized, and the pacing of the class was great as well.
She is very flexible and understanding, passionate about the subject, wants each student to succeed, and is clear about expectations. Really great professor, would definitely take a course with her again. Attend class and maintain open communication, she has your best interest at heart!
I absolutely loved having Professor Bateman. She's really the only reason I took this course. Expect to learn so many interesting things about the ocean and marine life in BIO 1200. This was only suppose to be an elective, but the material and topics were very intriguing.
She does a good job teaching the subject matter needed to pass her class, and the instruction in her assignments is clear and straightforward. I had fun working on the presentation slide assignments. I never felt stressed taking her class, and I learned a lot.
This professor was very good about replying to all inquires and provided timely and accurate feedback when asked. It make the class very easy to follow.
She has even helped me out when my computer gave up on me and extended time so I can redo the assignments that I can no longer access on my normal computer. 10/10 would recommend.
Professor Bateman is one of the most engaging and well-organized instructors I've had. She breaks down complex environmental science concepts into digestible modules, often supplementing lessons with real-world examples that make the material feel relevant and applicable. I would absolutely take her again. Valerie
A fantastic professor who was really helpful in giving feedback, allowing me to be my best self and succeed.
Professor Bateman is a wonderful professor that actually cares about your learning. She gives great feedback for eatery written assignment and gives you the chance to make necessary changes and submit them again to improve your grade. Her criteria is very clear and she will tell you in advance about all the assignments you have for each module.
Professor Bateman is enthusiastic about the course and very encouraging in letting students pursue in their interests alongside the topics assigned.
