I really enjoyed this class. You are a great teacher! Thank you very much

Great teacher but it can be a hard subject. Take her if you really want to learn something but it'll take some work.

If You have to take micro do not take it in the summer, but take willoughby if you can. I had to drive from Stuart to Vero for a night class for her, but she is a great teacher. Very energetic about the subject and gives plenty of information for the reviews. TWO THUMBS UP!!!!!!!!!

Very hard tests, know your definitions and the pics in the book.

Very enthusiastic, explains very thoroughly.

I think Bio is a challenging subject no matter who you take, but she IS helpful in lab. She's nice & happy to answer questions & to help out students. Recommended. :0)

Very good teacher. Helpful and clear. :)

this teacher is very good. She trys hard to make sure you understand. She is clear and is the best bio teacher i have had.

very clear when speaking, very easy to understand and very helpful, no problem answering questions

VERY helpful! exams r easy as long as u read the chapters and study her power points. has mucho resources online to help u. her exams cover only basic points and have easy straightforwad questons. read the book and then read her notes and ull get an easy A on the exams!

The most amazing professor at IRCC. She has an unmatched enthusiasm that makes even the students without interest excited about science.

GREAT!! HARD CLASS AND LOTS OF INFO TO LEARN BUT SHE IS HELPFULL AND KIND. U CAN TELL SHE LOVES WHAT SHE DOES AND KNOWS HER STUFF! I AM TAKING HER AGIAN!

This class was definitely a challenge. It's not impossible or extremely difficult, but it is hard enough to make you push yourself. She was helpful. I hated the online quizzes we had to do, though.

She was an incredible teacher plus she had a great attitude. Very professional and made sure we understood what we were studying. You can tell she loves what she is teaching and thaT will always show through student grades. I would recommend her to ANYONE!!

This class was online. If your're not prepared to study every minute, do not take the online class. She had a study guide for every test which is helpful in studying. She keeps the site upadated on how much you need to pass the class, she also responds promptly to messages. For the final she gave a good review. She wants u to succeed

I took this teacher for an internet class.Although I was not in the class room she communicated with you promptly through web-ct and met with you for any questions. Her internet presentation was clear but lots of studying. I like her personality and she was interested in the student's success

I took her lab class which was interesting. She is clear about the objective of the course. Very helpful and give each person her attention. Exams where straight forward if you spent the time to study. Filling out the lab manual exercises make exams easier.

She is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I enjoyed her class. As long as you show up to class everyday and study hard and take good notes, you will pass. A tape recorder is a must. The only thing that was rough is that there were no extra credit oppertunities..other than that she was great.

Best teacher ever!!!!!! very sweet, very helpful! I am currently in her class right now> She goes over everything in her class, everything you need to study is on the slides. Never makes any question seem stupid. Just wish she taught bio 2!!

good but very HARD!!!!!!!!

Good class! She was clear in her lecture and well prepared. I would recommend her.

Great teacher..i took her for bio online and as long as you study you will get the grade you deserve...she responds to her emails right away and everything in the syllabus is very clearly written.. i got a B+

amazing teacher... biotechnology is deff her nitch.... i understood her throughly and she gives you exactly what will be on the test to study!

I took her bio class online over the summer and certainly don't recommend this to anyone! It was hard! She is looking for more than just memorization, she expects you to understand a concept inside and out.

she is a good teacher and very helpful, has a passion for the subject. but you will work for you grade and you must study.

I took this class online for summer II. It was extremely hard. But she gives open book quiz's for each chapter. Which makes ur avenge go up. With failing ALL the exams and getting 100's on all the quiz's i passed with a C.

She is a great teacher, very compassionate! Yes, it is hard work, it is biology. But she is willing to help you out when needed and uses great analogies when teaching! She gives frequent tests which helps so you dont overload with too much info on a test.

Took it online. It definitely wasn't easy. MUST know the topics inside and out to pass. Drops the lowest test grade. Overall, she was fairly uninvolved in the class unless you have a test issue or something. If you aren't self-motivated and don't want to read the book, steer clear. Pulled off an A, but studied for days..

Although the MATERIAL is difficult, she was crystal clear and expects you to know exactly what she covered. Would highly recommend her for Bio!

Hard teacher....but nice....

If you're going into the Life Sciences it's hard to find a better professor than Dr. Willoughby. She's excited about what she teaches, tells you EXACTLY what topics will be on the exams (and sample questions), and is VERY good at giving easy to understand examples about seemingly complex topics. Take her if you like Bio! Also had her for BSC1421

Amazing teacher, She really knows how to teach! Very enthusiastic and gives great analogies!I EXTREMELY recommend her!

Dr. Willoughby was an excellent teacher. She put things in a way you could relate to and understand. I highly reccomend her. I am taking another one of her classes, biotechnology online and she's still wonderful and helpful and always answers emails and wants you to excell. She knows her stuff and will explain things how you need them explained

She is a kind lady who only wants you to succeed. She will help anyone with anything they need. Biology is a difficult course but I don't think there is anyone who can teach it better or with as much passion as she does. I would reccomend her to anyone.

She gives great lectures and does crazy things to help you understand them and only tries to help you pass the class. Her website gives you everything you need to know and requires you to study daily as for the test hard but study everything and you should be fine plus she is really open to questions and e-mails and very sweet.WORK HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!

She is very nice and helpful as well as enthusiastic. The 7 exams she gives are difficult, but the final is easy. It is not an easy A.

This class was a hell of a lot harder than I thought it would be. She moves fast, and gives a lot of tests. Very hard. She really makes you learn though. I ended with a B but it was probably the hardest class I've taken. She really is great though, will bend over backwards to help you. I recommend taking her if you want to learn. I've learned a lot

She is a GREAT professor, really knows her stuff. She gives 7 tests instead of 4 which helps you get a better grade. Doesn't give any study guides but she provides you with worksheets online that are very help. I did the worksheets,read the chapter overview and did the chapter quizzes from the book the day of the tests and it was very helpful.

Dr. Willoughby is a simply marvelous teacher. Passionate about her subject, she will answer any question no matter how silly it seems (and she won't make it seem silly). You MUST MUST study, because this is NOT a freebee class. I read the chapters. Do the worksheets, definitely. I didn't do them for the first half of the semester but they help!

Dr. Willoughby loves Biology and cares that her students do well. However, listen to her - follow her instructions - do the course objectives that she gives at te begining and you will ace the exams (or at least get a B)! Taking her in class rather than online is highly preferred!

Online Session- received a "B". GOOD news: Answers emails promptly. Very helpful if you ask! Syllabus and course layout very organized with numerous resources and study guides. EVERYTHING you need to succeed. BAD news: No communication from her at all unless you ask. I wouldn't take online again but I WOULD take her again in the classroom setting.

Dr. Willoughby is straight forward and lets you know what to study for unit exams based on her outlines. She is very helpful and gives you everything you need to succeed in her class, you just have to listen to her. Lecture is a little boring but she is a wonderful, caring professor.

Dr Willoughby is inviting, animated, enthusiastic, and provides good visualization. She doesn't show off her intelligence in a conceded manner, though its obvious she is very intelligent by the simplicity in which she teaches. I took BSC2010 for Summer, therefore expected it to be time consuming and difficult. This is COLLEGE, yes you have to work

Fantastic. Honest, straight forward and helpful. Lots of extra study material and well done online class. Highly recomended, but it is information heavy and a tough class.

This class is VERY hard to take online. I wouldn't recommend it. I was studying for hours upon hours daily while taking 5 classes. If you study, the final is pretty easy, tests 5,6 really aren't anything like the book, super hard. She's a very sweet woman though, and you can tell she cares about her students and really wants you to succeed.

There was so much material to cover. This online class is no walk in the park. You have to prepared to do the work, independently. Overall, I enjoyed the material.

I took her during the summer. It was really tough, however, she is a wonderful teacher. She is very helpful, breaks difficult concepts down, and really seems to care if you are doing well in the course. I found it very help to do the worksheets online and listen to the recorded lectures. The test are concept -like question. SO KNOW UR STUFF!

Great professor. I take it one night a week 5:30-8, lectures are long, but not boring, at any time you can ask a question & she will help you to understand. She RECORDS her lectures & puts them online very helpful. Her exams are TOUGH, you need to just make time to study. Drops lowest grade, 6 exams+ a final. Easy HW that really helps grades.

shes very clear in what she teaches and gets involved with her students. super easy and clear study guides. also gives extra credit here and there to help boost your grade. would take again if i had to for sure.

I made the mistake of taking biology online, and Dr. Willoughby tried her best to make it a good experience. She replied promptly to emails, and even offered a question-to-question review for the final at the end. They grading breakdown made it almost impossible to fail. I ended with a B despite completely failing two exams.

She's a delightful teacher that was constantly available to offer assistance. She made a Facebook page to reach out to us and offer extra points through trivia. She continuously emailed, messaged, and reminded us of all material that needed to be known; Offered various "chats" throughout the semester. Her review before the final was wonderful, too!

I've taken Dr. Willoughby for general biology and microbiology. She is extremely passionate about what she teaches & will walk you through each step of the way. Tests given every other week are easier than long tests given by other professors. Study the power point slides for tests and you will be golden. Is very fair with grading. Great teacher!

This was my second online class and it was a little tough. It wasn't as hard as I thought it could have been but the teacher stayed involved and was always ready to answer questions.

Great teacher ! Yes you have tons of test but study the power points she gives and you will pass . She's really helpful her test are based off the study guides not exactly alike but similar. I took for summer 2 and believe me I was scared but ended with a good grade!

She was a great professor. The key to passing this class is studying the comprehension questions throughout the chapters and at the end and you will be golden. I wish I had realized at the beginning of the course. I mean she told us that, but I, of course, didn't listen.

great teacher she helps you with all she can she is amazing. her class is easy if you study. come on you can't expect to pass a class without knowing nothing.! she's great at teaching.

Dr. Willoughby is truly passionate about her job and knows what she's talking about. Print out the worksheets provided and study those and show up to class and pay attention you'll do just fine!

Worksheets are basically the test. Just watch the videos where she gives you the answers to the worksheets to study, trust me.

This lady saved my grade. I was on the edge and about to fail her class when she had a meeting with me to go over what I was doing wrong and helped me find ways to do better. There are tons of worksheets that have to get done in such a short period of time. You will spend a lot of time working and studying for this class be prepared.

Very nice lady. She really cares about students. If you struggle in this class ask her to meet and go over what you are having a tough time with. This class was not easy but one key thing that helps is her videos on black board. My advice is do it all in the beginning of each module so you can follow along better during lectures.

Black board will be your best friend. The best way to study is use the fill in worksheet videos before going to class and following along with the power point. There are also lecture notes online. Studying off of the worksheets. you don't need to show if your grade is good enough. She is sweet but doesn't like talking or phones at all.

I took this class online. Yes, it was a lot of work, but she is very clear on what needs to be completed. She gives an option to work ahead. I found her class being very straightforward. She gives worksheets as homework assignments, which are used as study guides. She records ECHO lectures that go over material and all answers. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

If you pay attention to her lectures and do her worksheets and actually study the material to understand it, you will get an A for sure. I am going for Nursing and had NO problems with this class. If you don't work hard at it, then your grade reflects as so... just saying :) I think she was straight forward and an amazing teacher.

Dr. Willoughby makes this class a little more confusing than it should be. Although, she's the best online teacher i've had. She makes video recording of her explaining the content. All the tests are based exactly off of the worksheets.

Took her online. Lots of worksheets but they are so helpful. She offers many resources to help out, including some lecture like videos. The class itself is sort of difficult but study and do your work and youll do fine.

Wonderful professor. Do the worksheets and study every bit of the information and you will pass. The exams require you to know information from the worksheets and the book. If you do not study, you will not pass. I put in at least 72 hours of studying a week. You will work for this grade. Easy exams as long as you study the worksheets.

I had her for Biology 1 online. There are a lot of long worksheets to do, but they are barely worth anything for your grade. She has videos that help you with the answers too. The tests are based on the worksheets, and as long as you study them you will do well. There are 5 tests and a 2-part final. I recommend taking her.

Wonderful professor. Just show up and listen. Don't try to write things down, she goes very fast. Do all the mastering micro homework online, and go to the study area for studying for the exams! Study area will be your best friend. All the questions in there are the exact ones on the exams. She explains things very well, and also has a drop score!

Genetics was a tough course, but I though Dr. Willoughby was very fair and clearly laid out what was required of you. There were a few questions on the exam that seemed "out there" but reading the comprehension questions is super helpful. Used Connect, so make sure you buy it. Have to memorize essay so you can type it at the testing center- weird.

Dr. Willoughby is a very knowledgeable and thorough professor. If you do the worksheets for each chapter and listen to her lectures there should be no problems passing her tests. They are tough but are all things that needed to be known if you're going to major in a science field.

I took Professor Willoughby for Bio I online Spring 2017. Her lectures are great, and she offers many different ways to study: Power Points, worksheets, videos, and recorded lectures. The test are exactly what's on the worksheets, so study them and you'll get an A. I would highly recommend, and hope to be able to take Willoughby in the future.

She's a tough grader. You have to work for your A. Make sure to know all of the worksheets and review the study questions in the back of the book. She is not an easy teacher but she makes sure you learn the material by giving amazing lectures and worksheets on each chapter. I would take her again.

There is a lot to be covered in this class. Read the book. Watch her PowerPoints. Do the worksheet then watch her lecture on the worksheet. Be prepared to study. If you don't put in the work for this class don't expect a good grade.

one of the best! if youre a good student and she knows youre trying your hardest shell do whatever she can to pass you. a hard class with lots of worksheets but if you put in the effort its worth it. must study reveiw questions to pass tests. shes very sweet, caring, and understanding, will be taking for future classes.

I took this class with another teacher and there were three test no homework and kecture heacy and monotone. Robin is the opposite. She tells you EXACTLY what to focus on . Gives homework. Helps elininate problem questions. Gives tips. Knows her stuff. Lecture is relevant. She is very smart the class uses mastering microbiology an app i downloaded

Awesome teacher. Her homework consisted of mastering microbiology and discussion boards. She gives test and tells you exactly what to study. She works with you and is very polite. Although the power points may become over whelming, the lectures are very interesting, do not try to take notes in her class. As long as you pay attention that will do.

So, I am seeing a lot of bad review for this course. On day ONE this professor told us the module exams would be based entirely off the comprehension questions. 15% of the grade is based on quizzes online, that you get 100s on no matter what. Study the comprehension questions & you are golden my dears.

Very time-consuming class, but doable if your willing to work. Most of the grade is based on tests. One test per week and then a final (6 tests + final). Study Ch. review questions and you will do great. The professor was a bit cold when communicating but answers any question you may have. Overall, enjoyed that class and liked the teacher.

Dr. Willoughby is passionate about what she teaches. She loves science and sharing her passions with her students. Her tests are taken from the questions in the back of the book. Don't just memorize the answers because she switches the wording up. Read the test slowly and review the book and you are guaranteed to pass.

She's a great prof and really cares about her students. It's a hard class in general but she makes it enjoyable

This teacher is very nice and loves her subject! She doesLOTS of slideshow lectures and LOTS of Connect assignments. Also, she has LOTS of easy tests (hint:comprehension questions). Her final is the hardest part though. It can drop your grade down or push it up.

I took it during Summer A so it was fast paced per usual. Very easy to follow just lots of reading, powerpoint lecture and worksheets. Only graded worksheets, module quizzes and final exam. I would take her again. I would advise others to manage their time really well for her course and seek help if you don't understand something asap.

Professor Willoughby teaches a great Genetics course. I myself wasn't too interested in the subject, but after taking her class I became fascinated. Reading the book isn't fully required but there are actually some good reads in there. Her class is not hard to get an A in if you just do your homework and read some sections in the textbook.

She is sweet and is very thorough when teaching. It is a lot of information but it is doable to get an A. Only downside for lab she can be very particular when grading exams. So definitely make sure you study well for the practicals other than that its not a bad class.

Her lectures were basically just her going over the powerpoints which is what our HW packets were based on. Her packets are huge and you have to read the textbook to find a lot of answers. It is a lot easier to pay attention in class and get the answer from her lectures. Her exams were multiple choice and she dropped the lowest score.

Professor Willoughby is great teacher. You have to complete module worksheets around every two weeks. At first you have lectures that cover literally what is on the packet. However, later she would not post that and you will need to listen to lectures and read the book to find the answers. Be prepared to work for the grade you want!

As long as you study the chapters you will be fine. This is a straight forward biology class.

Clear and concise expectations,well structured modules with lecture videos (about an hour, each), and if you do the worksheets, follow the links she recommends,and put in the study-time, you will get the grade to match your effort. Con: she isnt the best at responding to e-mails, and doesnt tell you if your worksheet answers are correct or not.

Shes grate. She gives a lot of homework but she give slides/presentation that has all the answers. Make sure u do all The worksheets and get As on all of them. Study them before each quiz she gives on that particular worksheet and you will be fine. Definitely do all the worksheets and try to get a B or higher on quizzes. Final wasnt as hard as cl

Dr. Willoughby is my favorite professor I've ever had. She responds very quickly through course messages. This was a hybrid course and she had all of her lectures recorded on blackboard. She doesn't care about attendance, so I only showed up to class on exam days. You have to put the time into studying to pass, but she is a generous grader.

Literally only had a set of worksheet assignments due once or twice a month. The worksheets go along with the powerpoints, and the exams go along with the worksheets. Sort of a "teach yourself" class, but it's not hard to understand

Although this class was challenging and time consuming, I really enjoyed it. I feel like I really learned a lot and the resources provided to us were helpful and concise. Very straightforward, but you'll only succeed if you study, learn, and put in the work.

It's refreshing to see someone so enthusiastic about Biology! She communicated ideas clearly, she was enthusiastic about teaching, and she even tried to make the learning experience more comfortable for me when I ran into some personal struggles. It's a lot of work, but if you are able to keep up, she's a cool professor who teaches a great class.

He is nice, and understanding. Sometimes gives a few points off for no reason or doesnt give feeback back. But otherwise its not a hard class, I just think it can get confusing at times. He is nice, so take him if you wish.

Dr. Willoughby is great; she is very helpful and accessible. While her class is fast paced and pretty difficult she is very willing to help you better understand the concepts of the course. The quiz and exam questions come straight from the textbook so while they are difficult, if you study well and ask for help when needed you will succeed.

The professor was amazing, the class not so much. It's a lot of information to take in, especially if you are already doing other classes and work. I wish the test were open book or allowed a cheat sheet.
