She made a class a lot of fun, considering it was on health and disease. There wasn't a lot of homework and we always got out of class early! The tests weren't bad and she even let us know before she gave us a "pop" quiz! I would highly recommend her.

IF YOU HATE GROUP WORK, take HPR instead. Lots of projects, stupid case studies, and dumb group stuff. She is a really picky grader, & she pickes favorites like no other. It's really frustrating. I guess if you're her fave, it's ok, but for those who aren't, you may not be treated as well as the freakin superstars in class. No final exam, though.

Fantastic Professor; Very willing to help, and definately is energetic, loves to get class involved in lectures; She gives 5-point quizes online, that are very easy if you just do the reading beforehand. She and Dr. Cooper work together on lecture and test, so they have a very similar style. Tests are relatively easy, as well, so long as you study.

I highly dislike her, she doesn't want to be there and at the end she gives out points depending on how she liked you or not. I do not recommend to people who actually care about cell biology.

Professor Redman works hard to make things as clear as she can, but the material can still be tough to learn. When I ask her questions, I feel like she thinks I am stupid which makes me scared to ask more questions. She isn't great at accepting feedback from students unless you tell her something she wants to hear. Exams are tough.

She has been my favorite professor I have had so far. She understands that when a class does poorly on a test, it is a reflection on both the student AND the professor, and has given us chances to earn points back this semester. She really wants you to understand the material, and just makes me comfortable learning and asking for help.

As someone who hates Biology, Redman is truly a professor you would want to take. She truly cares about student's feedback and their success! Had online with Dr. Redman and she truly worked hard to make it work and always provided extra credit. Based off 4 exams (1 being a final) and 2 group assignments, lab and homework every so often...

Redman is a great person, but was difficult as a professor as a college freshman navigating in a pandemic. Biology was okay for me, but don't expect phenomenal grades back on tests. Her average tests scores for tests was 52-75%. Read your book, ask questions. She reads off the slides for lectures so they become a tad dry.

Dr. Redman is a super nice and caring person. However, she was not the best lecture teacher. She read right off the slides and goes pretty quick. She doesn't give good feedback on work. There are two group projects, there is some extra credit once in a while which is super nice. However, the test averages were always right around 70% for my class.

Dr. Redman cares about her students, and does mid class surveys, but does not seem to apply those critiques. Her lectures are very long, heavy and intense. She goes quite fast and it can be hard to follow along. A lot of out of class work (more than my other 300 class) to understand the material.

I loved her for BIO105! She was my favorite professor all semester. I would 100% take her again, but sadly, she is retiring after this year :(

Interesting lectures, homework that actually helps, and tests are all multiple choice. Class has a lot of content and she does a great job of getting it all across. 2 Group projects are a little inconvenient but don't really affect your grade if you do just ok on them. Occasional in class problems that are sorta like attendance checks.

Dr Redman is great! She knows her stuff. You truly get what you put into the class, you cannot cut corners in the class unless you want a D. Overall very kind person and great lecturer and professor! Take her if you can!!!

Dr. Redman was the best professer I have had at UWL. Her lectures are absolutly amazing and gives clear instruction. There was little room for confusion in her class, exams were also light work.

Good! Class is just lecture, but there's also in class problems, homework assignments, quizzes, and tests. Tests are super fair, whatever is in the lecture WILL be on the test. If you study and pay attention you should pass this class easy. Lab section mandatory and was just random experiments? Maybe just my lab instructor, but it felt unnecessary.
