We had to take quizzes every class with a scanning code piece of paper, which also counted as attendance(it was pretty easy). Strict in lab so make sure you follow all the lab safety rules. Overall semi-confusing teacher, but she is kind. If you STUDY everything is pretty simple. I passed with a B for lab and lecture!

Really cares about her students. Offers study guides, review Kahoots, and even weekend zoom review sessions. Honestly, she went out of her way more than any other prof and gave engaging lectures.

Prof Cedeno had very bad reviews, but I couldnt get into any other class. However, after taking her class, I felt the need to come debunk the lies about her. SHE IS DEDICATED AND CARING!! She gives xtra credits on almost all her tests, does review for each exam, & even goes out of her way to set up zoom review sessions. No one shld fail her class!!

I had Cedeno for both lab and lecture, and while I think it's the hardest class I ever had to take I'm glad it was with her as my teacher. She's tough, but she's really knowledgeable and will work with you to help you succeed. There's a lot of extra credit opportunities, and if you work hard there's no reason why you should fail.

I took this class during the summer semester. Honestly, it is a lot of info but she gives a lot of study tips at the beginning and throughout to make sure ppl know to put work in. She is encouraging but also holds you accountable. I prob learned more from her class than any other because she makes you learn it.

I took Prof. Cedeno for Micro Lab. Great teacher. VERY EASY GOING. The material is hard, but thats because its microbio. Not everything is gonna be easy in life so grow a pair and take her. She has a heart unlike many teachers and her class was way more fun than A&P lecture. You should use this opportunity to sign up for her classes. Dont be Late!!

She makes the class way harder than it needs to be. Overloads you with work, doesn't explain things well, and her exams feel like traps. The final was “optional” but ends up as a 0 if you don't take it. I've never struggled this much in any other class. It's like she wants students to fail.

Never taking her again. She gives little guidance, tells you to teach yourself, and her exams are confusing. Kahoots and worksheets help, but don't expect them to match the exam. Tons of work for little payoff. Final exam policy is shady too. She doesn't care how much you struggle.

Doesn't teach at all. Just says “read the book” and gives huge assignments before tests. Kahoots are helpful but don't reflect the exams. She's unapproachable and defensive when asked for help. Took her twice and dropped both times. You'll regret signing up for her class.

This professor is nice, but after that, she is the worse and her class is extremely hard, for me it was very difficult to pass this course. The exams are super hard and not related with the stuff we study, and by the way she didn't teach at all just give you papers and you figure it all on your own. If you care about your GPA and grades avoid her!

I have never met a single professor who says this right away - it's impossible to pass my class - drop it. This is an online class - she hid her online lectures from us (people taking online classes). They are unlisted - this is just not normal. Her job description is literally to teach - she is failing at it and taking us with her.

Her exams are very weighted and have nothing to do with the study material (if she even gives one, it's useless). She would take ages to grade assignments and won't reply to emails asking for an advice on how to do better on her exams. A third of the class dropped her course...If you value your GPA, don't take her class unless you really need to.

The course subject is difficult already but the professor does a good job in teaching the subject and relating to real life applications. She is sturn on following syllabus but allows for you to schedule office hours when needed and open to walking thru lectures. She holds online review sessions which help in test prep.

I took this prof during a 6 week summer ses. She made bio easier to understand. She does short lectures with lots of analogies, then gives review worksheets which count as EC - spoiler alert, the questions are similar to what you see on the test. There's a lot of connect assignments but they are weighted almost equally to exams so its easy to pass.

The reviews of this professor seem to be one sided on low end which isn't fair. She is tough but fair and makes the subject matter digestible. She makes herself available for office hours and holds online review sessions which is very helpful. I think people who rated negative was looking for an easy A and didn't happen. Read and study!

Being an online class - you have to be organized and make sure you are keeping up with coursework. Professor stresses reading syllabus and keeping up on communications thru portal. It was challenging course but learned alot and was thankful for someone who did show she cared about students. I would take her again.

Prof Cedeño is one of the best biology instructors I have ever had the pleasure of taking a class with. I have always struggled with this material, but with her, it was easier and fascinating. She uses a digital Textbook that includes quizzes. And give extra credit activities. She is willing to help you as far as she can. 10/10

I took her for BSC2010, but it wasn't an option here. Best biology professor I could've asked for. Very kind and teaches material in a digestible manner+sometimes uses mnemonics. I'd recommend going to her lectures as much as possible. She tended to give in-class work, but she graded them very easy.
