A great Professor who cares.

Energetic teacher who doesn't want to leave anyone behind!

Sweet lady, incredibly energetic... she likes earlobes :)

Lots of energy, don't sit in the front row.

She is such a good teacher and has really made me enjoy being in her class, even though it is at 9 am. She is really hyper, but it makes class interesting.

This has been my favorite teacher since I have been at Mizzou. She is more energetic and enthusiastic about her class than anyone that I have ever met. Take this class, even if you hate Biology!

Best teacher I've had at Mizzou...keeps the class fun..has lots of energy, also always there to help whenever you need it! The BEST! and...she loves earlobes....

Mrs. Hurst is such a great teacher! She is such an upbeat person, and has a great way of getting her students involved with what she teaches!!! SHE IS AWESOME

She is very intergetic! Everyone can tell that she loves to teach and will help you out in any way she can. I love this class!!

Robin cracks me up. She is a fabulous teacher who has endless abouts of enthusiasm. I loved every minute of being in her class, despite my inability to comprehend most sciences. I understood and excelled in her class. I would recommend her to anyone.

I can't say enough positive things about her, I really enjoyed her class. She's an excellent professor in all aspects. This was a course outside of my major that I didn't anticipate enjoying, but I definitely did.

Interesting and makes it very easy.

Good teacher but her tests were too hard for an entry level bio. class.

She says you can't study the night before tests and get an A but that's b.s. and as long as you pay attention and go to class it's really easy. Great professor and very helpful

Prof. Hurst was a great teacher. She was always willing to explain difficult or confusing concepts, and did not make anyone feel stupid for asking. While her exams were a little difficult, she thoroughly prepared us for them, and was fair in her grading. She's been the best professor I've had so far

Prof. Hurst kept the class interesting with videos and tons of examples. Plus, she didn't require you to have the textbook either! She gives weekly assignments that are really easy and help bring up your grade. Overall, the class is easy and interesting.

WONDERFUL teacher. She keeps things interesting and tries to be as helpful as she can. She sincerely wants to help you learn and it shows. Dr. Hurst-March is still my favorite professor after 2 years at Mizzou and I almost wish that I was a Biology major just so that I could take one of her classes again,

Dr. Hurst is a fantastic professor! Your previous knowledge or interest in science is definitely not needed to do well in her class. I took two of her classes because I loved her so much! She's awesome!

great professor

AMAZING teacher, quite possibly the best at Mizzou in the science department. I thought I didn't like science at all, and that it just wasnt for me. If you're a non-science major, TAKE THE CLASS, she's so understanding and interesting. You cannot fall asleep and u will learn, whether u like it or not!

Tests are hard, but she is very helpful

Greatest teacher on campus! Would go out of her way to help you and often sacrificed her time at home to help students out! GREAT sense of humor!

Dr.H was AMAZING! This woman will keep you awake through every lecture, and she makes the information make sense. She makes class fun and always ties in real world knowledge. Her tests are a bit difficult, but the weekly assignments are easy and she gives TONS of extra credit. She was always willing to go out of her way to help students.

It goes without saying that Dr. Hurst is hysterical. Her lectures are stimulating and kind of dumbed down so non-science majors can understand it pretty easily. She gives crudloads of extra credit and is responsive to appeals on all her exams. I would really recommend her because she clearly cares about her students' performance.

Her assignments were easy if you went to class, but going was not mandatory to do them, it just made them more difficult.

She is great! she keeps things interesting, and she always seen excited to be teaching. She does have a problem with repeating things a few too many times. It helps that she does but it gets kind of old.

She was hilarious! Kind of weird though... But I loved her, she was great!

LOVE HER! She is an awesome teacher. Very sweet and is the most enthusiastic teacher I've ever had. She really cares about what she teaches and it shows. I got an A in her class and also loved going. In a class of 70 students she also learned my name without me ever going to her office hours. One of the best teachers at Mizzou.

This is the easiest class ever! If you hate bio and science and all that....take this with her. If you go to class, your SURE to get an A. And there is NO tests!!

The notes are really confusing and its a lot of pictures! The tests are HARD but don't be discouraged. She gives out enough extra credit to make up for it. I don't think I ever got about a C on a test and still got an A in the class. DO the extra credit, its a HUGE helper!!

WONDERFUL!! I'm not a big Bio person, but she breaks it down step by step. There is a lot of out of class work, but if you do it and the optional assignments you won't have a problem! I learned all of the basics and got an A just by trying.

She is a very fun lady. Its very hard to fail her class. She gives lots of in class assignments and extra credit.

Shut up! No one cares what you think of Robin Because the rest of us thought she was awesome and hilarious! This was one of the best classes I took in college! You rock my socks off Robin, you crazy lady!

Robin teaches you how to apply your knowledge in real world situations and find answers to questions that interest you. Although you spend time on her assignments, she eventually lets you tailor your work to topics that interest you (this is also one reason she does not require a textbook). She DOES provide ample supplemental info as well.

As a student, you have 3 options: 1)Don't care to try and get an F. 2)Attempt with little effort & complete extra credit = A/B. 3)Do your work with effort, and gain an invaluable like skill: resources to find how science works in areas that interest YOU (Ex. diseases that run in the family, or supplement benefits) P.S. I didn't like bio initially

I hated how we didn't do anything in class really, and it was almost pointless to go, except for the easy points for the in class assignments. However, this is a super easy class if you do your work, and she can be funny.

lots of extra credit, if you do it, its a guaranteed A.

I loved this lady. she is country and cool with a loud mouth. the class isn't very hard and she offers help and lots of extra credit.

If you want a teacher that doesn't have tests, you don't have to go to class, and want work mostly online.. take Dr. Hurst. 90% of her work is online, she sends TONS of emails a day, and you have group work every semester.. The work is pretty easy, but you'll ask yourself "why am i doing this? it makes no sense."

SHE MAKES YOU WORK A LOT. IF YOU JUST DO YOU WORK WHICH MIGHT TAKE A WHILE YOU WILL GET AN A. SHE BASICALLY GRADES ON COMPLETION

She is very knowledgeable but the way the class is structured makes it hard to retain the info. class attendance is non existant as most of it is all online homework and is graded on completion. Homework is time consuming but if you do it, the class is an easy A. For nursing majors-- take this class for the grade but dont plan on learning a lot

Community Bio was taught as an online class. We only had to show up 3 or 4 times the whole semester. She is very helpful and grades really easy. If you are a bio major this is the easiest biology class you will take, but you probably won't learn as much as the other sections that actually have tests.

I really enjoyed her class. It's very time-consuming, but if you do all the work, you will get an A. Everything is mostly graded on completion.

If you need a science credit, take bio 1010 with her! I'm no good at science but I got over a 100 in this class. You don't have to go to class, she doesn't believe in tests. You just have one weekly assignment that's online. Take this class!

Easiest class ever! Yet I still learned a lot.

. Her Bio 1010 class starts out as a 3 day a week class but as the semester goes on she drop lectures on mondays and then she drops friday so you only have to attend class on fridays to turn in a weekly assignment and do a group assignment. These assignments are super easy and usually only take 45 min max!! She offers a lot of extra credit too!!

If you do the homework you should have no problem in her class. Its all mostly online. She has extra credit opportunities which is awesome. Over all really easy class and i definitely recommend her for Bio 1010

Hurst is an easy grader. It's not difficult to get an 11/10 on homework assignments, and she offers a lot of easy 5-point bonus assignments. The tests are somewhat challenging, but there is an optional final (if you take it, she drops your lowest exam). There's no expensive textbook to buy because everything is online.

Online Class. Easy but inconveniently time consuming. Really nit picking about unimportant details on assignments. Remember 2-4 sentences means more than two. Read her instructions carefully and don't do the hours of reading and videos she posts. You will already know the answers.

Dr. Hurst is very enthusiastic about student learning! Even though I took this class through Blackboard as a summer semester-based course, I felt as if I was taking this class with her on-campus. There are many chances for extra credit with the weekly assignments as long as show you are putting forth some effort.

Loved her as a professor!! Gives fantastic feedback and because of that it made me want to work even harder in the course. Since I put in so much effort I'll end with a 97% in the class. A lot of work but it is not too difficult. She is very responsive asking questions and I wish I was a bio major so I could take more classes with her!

Great teacher! She has a unique way of teaching that requires no tests. Their are daily assignments but they aren't too difficult. I learned a lot in this class. She comments on all your assignments and she's super nice and helpful if you ever have a question about material. If you have to take BIO take it with this professor she is amazing!!!

This online course requires lots of reading and time for homework. If you put in the effort to demonstrate your learning, you can easily get some extra credit. She gives individualized comments to help with your learning and progress.

This class was surprisingly writing heavy. The majority of your grade comes from discussion board posts due twice a week. Ending up with over a 100% in the class is really easy though if you get all your assignments done and put effort in to your responses. You learn almost everything from online articles, short video clips, and documentaries.

Could not recommend online Bio1010 with this prof more for non-science majors looking to fill a science req. You go over things that actually have to do with the world in this class, like climate change and evolution, and there are no tests/final. TONS of extra credit, it would be difficult to get anything lower than an A. Very happy I took this.

Class is an easy A if you do the work. There is a lot of reading that you have to do but you can get by doing the bare min. There are no exams so your grade is based on discussion board post, journals, and comprehensive quizzes which are done in the same order every week. Dr. Husrt is great provides feedback on every assignment every week.

Be ready to do a lot of reading and assignments. There is something due Monday-Thursday, every single week. But there are no tests. Prof. Hurst gives a lot of good feedback and if you stay on top of your assignments you will do okay. There is a lot of informational and she makes up her own quizzes.

This class could be daunting after seeing all the work you have to do, but I could not recommend Dr. Hurst more. She gives excellent feedback on all assignments and plenty of extra credit points. Follow the instructions and rubric and you'll get a 110%, literally. Assignments don't take too long to do either once you get used to it.

Dr. Hurst is a great professor, she gives great feedback and is really there for her students if they need anything. The class and homework itself is daunting. There is something due every single day of the week, and these will each take a decent amount of time to complete. If you have the motivation and get the work done on time, it's an easy A.

Dr. Hurst is a great professor and cares about her students. Her homework is daily for the most part, but it does not take long at all after you get in the hang of it. She gives lots of extra credit and always gives great feedback. Great teacher.

I ended the course with over 100%. No exams, no zoom meetings, and no text book. There are small assignments due daily M-F, but they are put up at the same time so you can do them all in one day. Extra credit is given on most of the assignments if Hurst likes your work. It's an easy A, but you learn a lot and Hurst is an amazing and flexible person

Dr. Hurst is the most amazing teacher I have ever had. I could talk about her all day long. I have learned SO much from her class. I have never seen her face but she almost feels like a second mother. She is extremely caring and generous. Her class is designed for you to learn and excel. Don't be afraid by the amount of work, it is very doable

Dr. Hurst is amazing. She has to be one of the most caring professors I have ever had. Her lessons are well thought out and assignments are all very well detailed on expectations. There is something due each day M-F, but she posts early and you can work ahead. If you work hard and show your knowledge, she'll excuse you from some of the work.

She's a fantastic professor and the course structure is very engaging! You simply go through some resources (videos, articles, etc) before writing discussion posts or reflections every day. It takes barely any time and as long as you get interested in the subject, you'll do fine! She's also super sweet and personable in her comments back!

Very caring and flexible professor. The class requires a bit of reading and writing daily assignments but it's easy to get into and is often more enjoyable than a typical lecture and quiz format. Don't worry about the course load, as long as you show thought in your writing, she will give points and quality feedback!
