This is an excellent teacher not only is she very entertaining but she is very helpful. Her notes and lectures are easy to follow, and if you just study the notes she gives, you will get a great grade. Highly reccomend her to everyone!
She was NOT very organized. She left a lot of questions unanswered, almost as if she didn't know the answers. Lots of extra work that really didn't serve a purpose. I got an A in the class but I studied very hard. Most people didn't do very well or dropped before the end.
Terrible class. Too much work for 100 level class. Teaches with powerpoint slideshows that seem copied from someone else. Bad answers to questions. Tests test too broadly or focus on one area too closely. Labs r easy...feeds us all the answers. The final? worst review ever. No review just stupid jeopardy quiz. Dont take this teacher!!!!!
She is the worst teacher I have every come across in my life. She treats everyone in the class like a high schooler and does not even know the subject matter. She was such a bad instructor that I had to drop the class and retake it at another school. If you care about your education and want to *learn* Biology, DO NOT TAKE ANY OF HER CLASSES.

Very organized, shows you your grades every class so nothing is a suprise and you know exactly where you stand. There is homework that takes a lot of time but it helps you in the long run by giving you some extra points for your low test scores you may get study vocab words and notes and you'll be good.
She is helpful. Homework is long but most of the answers can be found in the bold print terms of the book. Tests are very difficult. This class required a lot of my time, much more than any other class I was taking at the time.
HARD. But honestly, one of the best and most caring teachers. Her responses to questions in class aren't always the best but wow! she can really help you to learn. I have never had a teacher that cared so much about what her students want to know. She inspires creativity and abstract thinking. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to learn.
She's made me work harder than I've ever worked on a subject. My studying skills have improved because of her requirements. That I'm grateful for!!!
Very Hard but the material is difficult in that there is a lot of information to cover. She cares about the student passing and gives you the tools to EARN a passing grade
Lots of work, but there's a lot of ground to cover. This is a class where you get the grade you deserve, nothing more or less. She's funny, punctual, knows her material very well and is very organized. Great class.
If your just looking for a passing grade, this is the teacher. The homework can be long but do it and don't complain as the points do add up. Her lecture notes don't really help on the test but as long as you do all the homework and lab assignments, you'll be ok.
She knew nothing about what she was teaching. You couldn't ask her a question in class, because she didn't know the answers, everything was "email me". It was crap.
Intelligent, Caring, Well organized, knows her material, demands a lot from students
Rosie is so passionate about teaching! She cares a lot about the students. Knowedgeable, caring, dedicated, funny and always has a positive comment to say. I looked forward to the class each week.Best teacher I have ever had!

She is such a dedicated teacher. She has a great personality and makes sure that the students are learning. Top notch! I wish I could take all my classes with her. Extremely knowledgeable!

If you want to really really learn, take her classes
Hardest class I have ever had! I could not have passed this class without the help of Rosie! Terrific teacher that is very dedicated. I took this class three times and learned nothing until Rosie took the time to explain it to me. She is organized and extremely personable. Best teacher I have ever had in college!
caring teacher with high expectations, great study materials, great personality, explanations are great, very knowledgeable and uses funny examples to remember facts, I'd take another class with her if I could. Excellent choice for a teacher if you want to work hard and learn the material!
Hard course but terrific instruction! She was always well prepared and interesting. Cared about whether you understood the material. Lots of work! Assignments were very helpful. Always willing to stay hours after class to help me understand. Fantastic teacher! Funny...
What a superb teacher! She is knowledgeable, friendly, halpful, dedicated and makes great cookies! Stayed after class to help us! Gave great examples to this difficult material. Fantastic attitude! Well prepared and made materials that were very helpful. She had amazing patience. Hard course so you'll need to take her to get through it!

Displays/demands professional protocol...Makes learning fun and enjoyable instead of a tedious task.....
Displays/demands professional protocol...Makes learning fun and enjoyable instead of a tedious task.....That biology stuff can be really cool!!!
Rosie is a dedicated teacher who devotes as much time as necessary to her students to make sure they understand the material and have FUN with it. She provides excellent real-life examples that peak one's interest, has a great sense of humor, and makes sure you know her subject. Some may consider this kind of teacher "tough" but I expect them!
It is hilarious how little this teacher knows without looking at a book.
Best teacher that I have ever had the pleasure of learning from in my career! Innovative, intereting, knowledgeable, funny, well prepared, and makes learning fun and enjoyable. ROsie really knows her subject and will do her best to make sure we learned the material and understood it. Grade A+++++++++++
Rosie is a very organized professor! She expects a lot out of her students and herself! Lots of material to cover, yet she makes it FUN! Do all of the assignments and you will do well! She is a caring, dedicated professor that makes it interesting. Engaging...HElpful...Kind... Willing to help and well preparedl...
Excellent teacher! Well prepared and extrememly helpful! Knows her stuff and teaches like she really enjoys it. Look forward to her positive attitude and interesting class each week. Must work hard for your A. It is worth it. Taking BIO 201 in the fall and feel prepared. Great instructor if you want to learn. She is top on my list!
Awesome teacher! Knowledgeable teacher that is always well prepared and makes the information interesting! Takes time to answer your questions and has alot of fun comparisons so I could understand tough concepts. Responds to emails and very dedicated to her students...very supportive and helpful. Great teacher!
Great class! Lots of student participation which was interesting! Really new her stuff and took current topics in bio and we discussed them. Learned a lot! She made it FUN and Rosie was always so positive! Enjoy the class...if you are taking BIO 100, she is fantastic!
wasn't helpful.. expected us to take notes on so much information and didn't clarify what important concepts were gonna be on the tests. obviously this teacher wrote a bunch of good reviews about herself on 8/24/09.. don't take this teacher, waste of money
Don't take this teacher. She doesn't know how to teach biology whatsoever
im not sure if i like her teaching style yet. She is very nice and she likes to make biology fun, but sometimes her teachings can be confusing. She basically read her slides, and that qualifies teaching. She is a stickler on lab, but I had better sciences teaacher than her.
This teacher is the best! She takes the time to explain the material so that I can understand it. Her teaching style is interactive and she makes us work so we can learn. The lazy students write lame evaluations for her because they have to get off their butts and finally apply themselves. Top notch teacher! You can succeed with this teacher!
Teacher is superb! She puts a lot of energy into making sure that you learn the material in a way that made me understand! She uses a variety of hands on methods so it is really fun and interesting! High energy and knows what she is talking about! She is one of the best teachers in the college. You will LEARN a lot.
THIS TEACHER IS SUUUPPEER. She knows how to get students interested in biology. She is extremely actve and cares about her students understanding every concept of biology. She seeks for your success in passing the class.
This is the teacher to take. She puts a lot of energy into making sure you learn. She is always prepared with fun ways to learn. Always eager to help and she makes great analogies so you understand the materual! Best teacher that I have ever had. No nonsense teacher! Interactive and freakin' great lectures! I look forward to class. Ultimate!
Rosie is FANTASTIC! She is always prepared to make the lectures fun and interesting! She goes to GREAT lengths to make sure that you learn. Ms. Mag should teach all the faculty how to teach! I respect her highly! She took a lot of time with me so that I could be successful. Funny and energetic! I feel prepared for A & P!
Rosie is very knowledgeable and can make complicated material seem easy to learn. She has a real upbeat and positive attitude! Lots of means of letting us get involved in learning. Uses real life comparisons and relates info to A & P. Best teacher on campus! Eager to help and lots of praise and support! Great lady!
Take this teacher if you want to learn! She was highly recommended to me and I am telling you...she is TOPS! Lots of help, great fun, interesting lectures, she is very animated which helps you understand and learn a lot. Be prepared to work and she will help you succeed. She gets us up and involved! Great labs...well organized! SUPERB!
Rosie is amazing! She constantly comes up with great ways to teach us so that we understand what we are learning! FUNNY and SMART! She cares about whether we learn and always has a positive comment to say! Always prepared and stays after for hours to help those that need assistance. Lectures and labs are very organized and interesting.TERRIFIC!
Rosie is subbing for our class and she is FANTASTIC! She actually explains the labs and makes sure we becomed skilled. FUN and interesting lectures wear we ask questions and she asks us to explain what we are learning. She is caring and goes out of her way to make sure we understand really hard concepts. You learn ALOT! She is the BEST!
Professor Magarelli subbed for our BIO 181 class for six weeks and WOW I finally enjoy BIology. She took the time to answser questions and made me think! She got us actively involved in labs and lecture by group work and white board presentations. What a gift she was to us! Brilliant teacher with a lot of heart and patients. A+++ We'll Miss YOU!
Fun teacher that cares whether you learn the material. Rosie went out of her way to get us to THINK! I enjoyed A&P because she brought current events into class discussions. Wow...best teacher I have every had! Knows her stuff! Wish I could take more classes with her.
Maggie is the teacher to pick for BIO 202 because she takes the time to explain everything so you get it! Lots of material and great activities! You MUST study to get an A and Rosie will do her very BESTTTT to make sure you learn the info! Great analogies and FUN activities to get us involved in learning the stuff. TOPS!!!!
Absolutely terrific instructor that knows how to teach! She should instruct other teachers in how to help students understand these difficult topics. Very animated and cares about the students. Interactive activities get us to think about what we are learning. Best educator I have ever had. GOLDEN!
I'm also in the class that she covered for 6 weeks this semester...and I'm thinking people "understood" and did better because she showed us our tests before we took them...it's pretty hard not to do well after seeing what you're going to be asked even if we weren't allowed to write anything down...I personally did not like her teaching style.
If you are often late or cannot make it to class, this is the perfect class for you to take. Rosie does not grade you on attendance, she finds it very unnecessary.
She spent 15 mins every lecture talking about what a dedicated professor she is. She is not even close. SHE IS THE WORST TEACHER EVER! If you really want to learn, I'd advise to find a better professor that will take the time to help you. Not to mention, her teaching style is beyond horrible.
EXCELLENT instructor! Rosie really takes the time to explain all of the biological concepts to you and cares about your education! She is TOPS as far as dedication and hard work! I noticed some absurd comments about her teaching style...what the heck! She could not do anymore for these students. It appears that they did not apply themselves.
Rosie is a fascinating instructor that makes Biology fun and interesting. She is always so positive and well planned. We all LOVED her style of teaching! She works hard and expects YOU to use your TALENTS. Slackers write horrible things about her cause they just do NOT work. One of the FINEST instructors in the colleges.
Rosie is a GIFT to teaching! It is amazing how dedicated she is. She subbed for our class for 6 weeks and really helped us understand! She helped us with review questions and did NOT give answers, however, it was VERY helpful to assist us in learning how to study and apply what we learned. BEST instructor I have ever had. Caring and dedicated!
What a terrific semester with Rosie as our instructor! She is so DEDICATED and organized. She really takes time to come up with analogies and fun ways to learn a lot of biology concepts. The quizzes and exams reflect what we are taught. She helps you learn how to study and makes it funny so you do not get stressed out. PRIMO teacher!Thanks!
This teacher is the TOPS in my books! I returned to school later in life and she was so positive and VERY interesting! She works hard to make sure we were understanding the material. Excellent skills and very knowledgeable... Lots of patience and VERY positive! If you really WANT to LEARN. Make sure you enroll in her classes!
Rosie is the BEST instructor that I have encountered in my academic career! She ensures that all students are learning and organizes interactive lessons so that we get a chance to explain what we are learning! Excellent teaching skills and fantastic assistance when you need a more in depth explanation. CARING and INTELLIGENT!
FANTASTIC instructor! OUTRAGEOUS person that truly dedicates her efforts toward YOUR learning. TOUGH class but she will ensure that you are learning. She uses white boards and puts us in groups to engage us in thinking about the concepts we are learning. POSITIVE and ENGAGING!
Rosie is an awesome teacher with high energy and kind heart. she is very helpful to all her students. she believes in her students and wants them to succeed. I loved this class. Definately take BIO 202 from her.
I learned a lot in Rosie's class and had a lot of fun. She inspired everyone to try harder and put extra effort in to the course. Highly recommended!
Professor Rosie Magarelli loves to teach and loves her students. She is genuine and gives her students everything they need to succeed! She seems to put all shes got into every lecture and lab and goes above and beyond for her class. I was especially impressed with how quickly and efficiently she was with and posting our grades.She is "The Bomb!!"
GREAT TEACHER!! WONDERFUL PERSON, GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND FOR HER STUDENTS TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE READY FOR THE NEXT CLASS.
she was very helpful.
Rosie kept the class actively involved and worked hard to involve the entire class, no matter whether the class wanted to participate or not. She is a great teacher. I highly recomend taking her for your BIO class, especially if you are moving on in a relatable field. She is exteremly helpful in and out of class. Rosie, you're AWESOME!
She is nice but she knows nothing about Bio. and all you do is read off of slides your better off not talking her class.
Professor Rosie is very dedicated and keeps us on our feet! She uses the slides to align with our notes. She provides examples to go with each system. She is the BEST at ensuring that we have the opportunity to ask questions and learn the material. Rosie is THE professor to take if you want to learn. FANTASTIC INSTRUCTOR!
Extremely dedicated to her class! Rosie goes above and beyond and makes sure that every student understands and meets their potential in the class. She knows her stuff and makes sure that everything is clear! Highly recommend taking her class!
Greatest prof I have ever had that made sure that she was on her game and students were acturally learning. Treats you like you are very special. Knows her stuff and can explain it! Top notch!
Rosie is fantastic! She is interesting, funny and makes the material understandable! She gets you up and moving to learn. No nonsense teacher! She expects you to do your best and that relly motivated me. GREAT prof!
Students that do not like to work usually do not take the class with Prof Rosie. She is kind, thoughtful, and works hard to make sure that you learn. These last two comments are from students that do not want to learn. Get a grip. You can't recognize one of the best teachers out there. What a joke! EXCELLENT instructor!
Great prof! DEFINITELY take this teacher if you want to learn!
This professor is amazing! High energy and dedication...She really cares about your education and takes the time to help you. BEST instructor to get you perpared for BIO201. Great instructor if you wnat to learn.
One of the best Prof in BIO202! Super enthusiam! Tough class but fun and interesting! Willing to help you be successful. Expects you to apply youself! Great discussions and gives you funways to remember stuff! Miss Mag is very helpful.
Great teacher! Interesting and fair, funny and nice... Teacher to take to get prepared for harder classes. Great examples and expects you to be there... Runs labs real well and organizes discussions so we can learn hard stuff.
Took Bio 202 from Prof Magarelli @ Phx College. All day Sat. course and she was able to keep up the energy level and engage the class in learning despite the long day. She really cares about her students and puts her all into the class. She is Constantly seeking new ways to improve her skills and provide a quality experience for the student.
She's tough, but she makes it fun.
Rosie is such a GREAT teacher! She definitely tries hard to engage the students in the lessons so that they get involved and LEARN! Fantastic ideas and super examples to explain the material. Definitely helpful and cares taht you learn. Great prof!
If you count on following a plan for class, this is not the instructor for you. She will give you help when you ask. Though, she will not give favors. As with most instructors she expects you to be ready for class.
Took BIO202 at Phx College. While Rosie is a nice person, the instruction was unprepared, inconsistent, and scattered. She might be OK for BIO181 or BIO160, but I'm afraid of any nurses relying on this class to be prepared for medical practice. Forced (?) to use another instructor's tests. Gives free points, though. Waste of time.
Excellent instructor! She was extremely organized, well educated, and helpful! Took the time to answer our questions and work in groups. Absolute plus to prepare you for the workforce. If you want to be prepared for medical professions, Rosie cares enough to make sure you UNDERSTAND the material. You must earn the grade. TOP NOTCH INSTRUCTOR!
Wow! Rosie is high energy! Best instructor I have ever had and I looked forward to every class. SHe always had such a great way to teach some hard material. I was amazed at how she made sure everyone was participating and learning. Great examples and always prepared! Encourage us even though the material was overwhelming. She inspired me to learn
I took this class at MCC last fall. I think she is a good teacher and knows most of her stuff, but very unorganized. I would have got a better grade, but we started out the semester using the new online program and finished using the old paper tests. This really hurt my grade. The first two tests were a joke, way too hard and covered stuff we d
she really strives to help students as much as she can & gives chances for extra credit & drops a test to help your grade, she was kind of harsh at times, she treats students like your in jr. high which can seem offensive at times considering I paid $400 to be in her class & wanted to b there, but I just ignored it & I did do well in her class
I would Not recommend her!
Professor Magarelli is such a dedicated instructor! She expects a lot from her students and delivers the information in a clear, organized manner. I was so nervous about the coursework and she worked hours with me so I fully understood. Very organized and intelligent! Fair and funny! Great instructor!
Absolutley fav teacher! I am taking Prof Rosie again for BIO 201. Organized and fair...Helps you through the tough stuff! She gives you guides to study for exams. Fun class and I learned alot.
It was a miracle that this teacher took over for another teacher this summer. She gave us GREAt resources and help so we knew exactly what was expected and how to study. It rocked! We had fun and got the class envolved. She keeps you motivated and has tons of ideas and ways to remember hard terms.
Best instructor I have ever known and I am an older student! She is extremely bright and creative! She knows the material and has clever ways to explain it. She will help you any time you need help and is approachable. I wish she taught more classes.
We need more instructors like Professor Magarelli! She has organized WebCT so you have all the necessary resources at your fingertips! Great analogies to remember tough concepts. Study guides, extra lab hours, and great explanations. Most favorite teacher...high expectations...funny...very organized. Hope she teaches BIO 202!
Outstanding professor! This course is difficult and the prof really teaches you how to study! TOP notch instruction, outside help, always available, GREAT helpful hints! BEST professor I have ever had in my life! Super ENERGY and always willing to help.
Professor Rosie is very dedicated and knows how to teach! She is hilarious and fun! She expects you to be prepared. You get involved and learn a lot. Be prepared to work for your grade and you will get great grades. She prepares you well for exams and practicals. Super dedicated...always encouraging you to learn.
I would not recommend Rosie for 202.
Most dedicated professor that I have ever known! Always there to assist you! She rocked our world this semester with excellent examples to help us learn and fun activities! She had us in stitches with her practical demos and really knows her stuff! I would recommend her HIGHLY if you want to learn and succeed! AWARD winning professor!
I had a great semester with Rosie If you are thinking about taking a BIO 202 class you should take it with Rosie Magarelli.She is generous,hard worker, and bends backwards to try to help her students.BIO 202 is a difficult subject, but Rosie really worked with us to make sure we understood the subject She is always available to answer our questions
the course started out easy and then got a little harder by the end. But she was always willing to help out and answered all the questions we had for her. She kept the class interactive as much as possible and made this class fun. Bio 202 isnt an easy course isnt an easy course to take but i def. recommend taking her class.
ATTENTION FUTURE TEACHERS! This class is a MUST! Rosie expanded our horizons. She taught us how to THINK, how to be creative, have fun & teach kids science in effective, exciting ways. Her enthusiasm for life & teaching is contagious. She goes the extra mile to help students. You will walk away with notebooks full of ideas to use in the classroom.
She makes a ton of resources available to you, and she's super helpful if you ever get stuck on a certain concept. It's a tough class and you really need to work for your grade, but Rosie works hard to explain things clearly and to build a sort of mini-community among students.
This professor is exceptional.Prof Rosie is organized and will go out of her way to accommodate your needs as a student if you work hard to succeed.BEST instructor that I have ever had in my entire career! Helpful study guides, lots of support, demands the best, and I actually REALLY learned the material.I understood it.Fun,creative,intelligent!
Fantastic professor! Lots of energy and Rosie really cares about whether you learned the information not just for the test but forever! She is intelligent, fair and creative. I have never met such a dedicated teacher...ever! Professor Magarelli is the BEST instructor for A & P. She also expected the best out of us. Outstanding teacher!
Professor Magarelli is a top notch teacher! Rosie brings so much to the lessons that she teaches from the many years she has taught. Innovative lessons...lots of engaging activities...she makes you want to go out and teach ASAP!I feel more prepared to teach now and understand the importance of being so prepared.TOP NOTCH instructor!Best instructor!
Rocking teacher! This was the third class I chose to take Professor Magarelli! She is very dedicated. I always knew what was expected. Goes above and beyond to make sure all students learn! Expects the best and provides the best instruction. I traveled across the valley to take her class. I wish she taught more BIo classes. BEST prof!
Highly recommend this professor for A & P! Great instructor that helps you understand the information! Always available to assist you with questions.
best teacher I've ever had, very dedicated, funny, and smart. she treats the classroom like her big family, goes out of her way to help the students, great teacher. Love you Rosie
The topic is very interesting; very intense; too intense for a summer class. However, Prof. Rosie went above and beyond to help each student pass the course. I am an older student; I recommend not taking this interesting class in the summer unless you have a strong biology background.
DO NOT TAKE THIS AS A SUMMER CLASS as all you will hear from her is that you are the one who chose an accelerated class not her. She ridicules students in front of the others in the room. Her syllabus says one thing but she does not abide by it. Sad thing is I chose her because she was supposed to be great and I am disappointed that she was not!
I do not recommend taking her for an online summer class. I made it out with a B, but if you have work, kids, etc., it'd be nearly impossible. She gives no slack whatsoever, even when you are rearended and your car gets totaled, she will tell you it is not her problem and "you chose to take this class". Never again.
Best professor I have ever had! She was so patient with the students and WebCt was a great resource! She brought us cookies and candy on exam night and even sat with us through exam 3 by asking us to find five questions that she could guide us with help. Who does that? Very caring...organized...had guidelines that were reasonable. Learned a lot!
I highly recommend her BIO 100 class, I thought the class was going to suck but she really made it interesting and although it was a lot of work it was well worth it. She is an awesome teacher who teaches with passion and not power points! Rosie pushes her students because she knows they are capable of great things. Thank you Rosie!
I loved the BIO 100 class she gave. She set up the class so the students could learn without a text book, which saved me a lot of money. She was very helpful and enthusiastic about science. Good teacher.
Wonderful teacher. She teaches well because she actually cares. She is highly energetic. You will work for your grade. Thank you Rosie
Absolutely loved this class and the teacher. She truly enjoys teaching and makes the class fun so nobody gets bored. I had been doing online for a while because going to class was boring but I actually look forward to going to her class. There are no tests and you don't have to buy a book. The lab work is extremely easy and you learn a lot.
Get a different teacher. Rosie loves her job & her subject, but she is not organized or tech savvy. It's very frustrating. She can't navigate Canvas well, takes a long time to respond to emails & she isn't very good at focusing on what she wants you to take home & retain. She teaches more than one class & doesn't have enough time to manage them all
After reading her rating, I decided to take her course. I was disappointed half way through. She was disorganized, not consistent, assumed what students were asking before finishing the question. She made excuses for disorganization to teaching too many courses, (not our problem). Do not upset her, you will be singled out and she will not be nice.
Fantastic Instructor! Ms. Mag has such an amazing personality and knows her content. Her kindness and enthusiasm makes you want to come to class. Difficult subject but she shares it in a way that you get it! Works in groups, creative with assignments, hands on, best teacher I have ever had. Cares about everyone in class. Patient and organized!
Rosie is an awesome professor! I wish she taught all bio courses! She really really cares by making you feel part of the class and takes time to help everyone. Organized, innovative and exciting class! Class time is absolutely engaging. Every class was interesting and fun. She really knows her stuff well. Highly recommended! Learned a lot.
Best class I have ever taken. As an Education Major I needed to take BIO and I learned so much more with this talented instructor! She makes learning fun and exciting. Superb teaching skills! Every Education or Bio Major should take this class. Recommend to all students who want to learn to teach and enjoy biology concepts. A+++++++++++++++++++
Exceptional Instructor! Rosie not only allows us to learn in a meaningful way, she teaches us how to use technology and we worked in groups! Learned so much! Great labs and interesting topics! Ms. Magarelli really knows how to make the class interesting and enjoyable. Never missed a class because Rosie made you feel so welcome and she cared.

Superb Instructor! She was organized on Canvas with quizzes for every module, great links for labeling activities to study, interactive practice sites, and feedback was quick and efficient! BEST instructor that I have ever encountered as she is very passionate about her content and dedicated to ensure all students succeeded. TOP notch!
This teacher ROCKS! Organized, dedicated and fun! Rosie makes the material interesting and I actually learned so much in this class. SHe taught me to learn how to study...she really cares about her students. She had some really unreasonable students, yet she still tried to help them. She has heart and brains. Recommend her!
Recommend this teacher if you really want to learn and have fun! She is patient, intelligent, smart and really funny. The Canvas site is set up for the entire semester from day one so you can plan out how to organize your study time. Well organized and supportive! Best bio teacher!
I will be very real. She did not require a textbook, she will tell you that the internet provides a better more diverse source of information. Lab manual required $20. She allowed PPT instead of quizzes and tests. I learned a lot. Beware and be beholding to her, if not fear the rath. Dont forget she is the QUEEN. Follow examples provided get an A.
Teacher wants respect but doesn't give it. students were unable to retrieve assignments online because she didn't unlock them and she still gave them zeros. She treats students like immature undisciplined children the first few days of class when she doesn't know them. sneakily changed a time a quiz was due. Class was very unorganized and chaotic.
PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS TEACHER FOR THIS CLASS. She loves her job. really. But she's confusing and uses too many analogies making life harder. She's often late, has NO IDEA when anything is due. Makes these SG that are in an impossible format and when you ask her questions she replies I HAVE SIX CLASSES I DON'T KNOW. Total waste of time.
Instructor is very dedicated and offers many resources to make sure that you learn. BEST teacher I have ever had. She prepares well, active engagement and provides a variety of assignments to help us learn. Love the whiteboard instruction and the way she presents materials so I can understand all of the information. Positive and fun class!
Fantastic professor! A+ rating! Lots of activities and assignments that really help you learn! Very dedicated. Answers questions and emails quickly. Teaches you ways to study. FUN class and very interactive. Always there to help.
Excellent Prof! Rosie is very clear with course requirements, and is always available during, after and outside of class for help. She is very dedicated and approachable. She makes sure you are well prepared for exams.Very fair and provides lots of fun activities that helped me understand the material. Loved the way she taught! Fun and engaging!
Taking BIO 160 with Roseanne Magarelli was a class i will not soon forget! Roseanne made sure all students are always clear on a certain module we are starting. All due dates were always posted to see. would always take questions during lecture to ensure that the concept was grasped. for any quiz or exam she always reviewed over. Great teacher!
She is a fantastic teacher. She loves what she does and does everything she can to help a student succeed. Also, she responds to emails fast, which is awesome. You do have to study for tests, but she tells you exactly what will be on a test, so there is no confusion. If I had to, I would retake this class with this same teacher.
LOVED BIO160 with Rosie. The class can be stressful, there is A LOT of material. But Rosie does whatever she can to help you understand what is on the quiz and test. Majority of the time she will go over them in class with you. Definitely need to study (I wish I did more). On a side note, she brings in her service puppy, Bella, who is TO DIE FOR.
Rosie is an amazing teacher and person; she wants you to learn and have fun while doing it. Overall, take her class...it's not hard. The only negative thing I have to say about her is she gives A LOT of work worth little points. Study guides take hours to do and you only receive a total of 5pts.
Ms Magarelli is probably the worst teacher I have seen, including grade school up. The only reason she has a high rating on this site, is she offers extra credit, based on your site feedback. She does not pay attention to the student, nor cares. Before deciding on business, I was a Biology guru, being around it my whole life. Do not take this class
Best teacher I have ever had in my entire life. She is very dedicated, funny and posts lots of resources. The class goes so fast because she makes it so interesting and engaging. She is really intelligent and attentive. I have never met a teacher that cared so much about the students. Learn so much and she is a FANTASTIC teacher! No extra credit.
This teacher rocks! She sets up the class with lots of resources; great fun; creates study guides to help for exams; lots of great activities! She actually cares about each student and expalins some difficult information in an easier way. Best class I have taken in a long time. Everyone loved her style of teaching cause she knew how to teach.
Great prof! Knows her stuff! Learned more from her class than in any other class. Lots of activities so we can learn difficult info better. Study guides and lots of cool resources to help you study. Very dedicated and always willing to help. TOP Professor! I feel prepared for BIO 201. Wish she taught more courses.
Amazing professor! Kept class interesting! Really knew her stuff but made sure we learned it too. Glad she is an instructor at RM cause she was so effective. She helps you believe you can achieve anything! We need more caring instructors like her. Best experience learning!
Take this professor! I went back to visit her this semester to tell her that she is the best instructor I have ever learned so much from in a fun way! Several of my friends told her to teach more classes at MCC cause she rocks! She is so engaging and helpful. We miss her so much this semester. Best Professor!
Very cool professor! Enjoyed the class because instructor knew what she was doing and made learning fun and interesting. Lots of interaction and activity. Explains things so that they make sense. Prof is funny and very helpful. Best experience with A & P I have had. She really cares about everyone in the class. Works hard to make sure u do well
Very fun and interesting class. I love it and would take again.
Rosie is always giving examples, is willing to work with her students to make sure they understand the criteria, she truly cares about her students. The criteria for this class is difficult in general, have to study, but she does makes things fun so you're not lectured the entire time.
She is a great teacher. I would recommend everyone to take one of her classes. she was very informative and it was important to her that we learned. She has different teaching methods that she uses which are really helpful. we did a lot of activities as groups and on white boards.
I love this Teacher, and thoroughly enjoyed her class. Every day during class we always learned something new, and it made sense. She did lots of different activities and interactions to better understand the lessons being taught.
Great teacher, i learned alot and really enjoyed this class

Roseanne Magarelli was an amazing instructor, the way she teaches is very helpful and hands on. I loved taking her class and enjoyed it and i learned a tons, i walked out of her class with so much knowledge about the human body, it blows my mind how much i learned.

Instructor is phenomenal! Rosie is approachable, interesting, and makes learning meaningful and fun. Best professor I have ever had in my life because she is respectful, well prepared, and really "there for all students". The course is difficult but she really explains everything and is hilarious at times. Provides great feedback and study guides.
