She's a good prof, she has good intentions and her accent is pretty good at times..only because she uses the word "chap" a fair bit. She moves in the notes WAY to fast, the course it hard enough, and the material sucks, she only makes it more rediculously difficult to tolerate I find.

She is great and I would recommend her to eveyone! Her notes are the best and she is there to help you throughout the course. She has a great sence of humor as well. The only bad thing that I can say is that she is not the best when it comes to computers. Her online notes are sometimes delayed because someone else post the notes for her.

She's a really nice person to talk to if you need any help outside of class. She posts her notes up on the web, but not the whole power point which sucks because there are good examples and pictures on the slides. She moves really fast through the material, so don't even try to take notes in class. Read the book and the notes and should do fine.

Dr. Goddard has an awesome English accent, so it is always fun to listen to her in class. However, she does tend to give you information outside of the course outline which is entertaining and interesting... but sometimes she starts to ramble. She is really nice, and her tests are fair, just make sure you study. Overall, she's a good proffessor!

Sally is a good sort, it's not her fault that this course is boring. She did her best to make lectures interesting, but all she really got to do was read the notes that were online anyways.

Nicest prof I've come across. Has long office hours and answers questions thoroughly. Her slideshows are great and contain all the information for the tests, plus she posts them online. Tests are very fair and she usually gives a bonus question for a chance at extra marks. Overall just a lovely woman and prof.

Sally is a very nice and caring person, but her notes are terrible and so unorganized. She is a good person, but study-wise I found it very hard to read the slideshows she posts. She also won't post slideshows until we have went over the topic in class.

Sally is a nice prof but her slides are a MESS. In lectures, she just reads from slides so going to class is not necessary. However, tests are easy with no surprises, as well as bonus marks. Textbook only used for diagrams that you need to know for the test, so you don't need to buy the book brand new with a code.

Gives good fair tests, posts all potential diagrams. She's really sweet and goes out of her way to make it as easy as possible for students to get good grades. Goes over tests in class and explains the answers. Textbook and online code aren't required, buy a secondhand book if you want one. Not a lot of in class stuff gets graded, but lots in labs

Such a sweet lady. Going to class is almost pointless though because she just reads through all the slides super fast. Her tests are super easy, straight from the slides, and she lets you know which diagrams to study.

Sally is one of the best professors I've had at mun so far. She really cares about her students and wants them to do well. She's also very approachable and makes time for you if you need to talk. The only thing I would complain about is her lectures are kind of dry, and she usually just reads off the slides.

Impossible to take notes in lectures, just reads of a slide. Slides are a mess for studying purposes, very boring lectures and subjects. Too much information to actually learn something in 14 weeks when learning 14 sections. Love Biology but this course was a mess, very disappointed!

Dr. Goddard is a very sweet prof. Her tests are extremely fair and you always have the right to fight for a mark on a test question if you think you deserve it. Her slides are a little messy and I found it hard to write notes. However her explanations are clear and if you pay attention you should have no problem.

I think Sally is one of the sweetest profs ever!! She truly cares about her students and wants them to succeed, I honestly didnt go to her class a lot but I regret it. The only reason I gave her a 4/5 is because her lecture slides are so all over the place and unorganized. Overall, shes a lovely person and her tests are really fair.

Dr. Goddard is hands down one of my favourite profs. Unlike a lot of other profs, she truly cares about her students and their success. She even makes an effort to learn everybody's name! You can tell that she loves what she teaches and wants to make it as fair as possible. BIOL3202 is an amazing course and I highly recommend taking it with her.

An outstanding professor, she is very sweet and understanding. You can access her outside class to ask questions/share stuff. Her notes were very comprehensive and concise (as concise as a biology note can get, duh ��). She teaches very well, answers question in detail and her tests contain only what she has taught. If you study well, you'll pass!

This past semester I had Sally for Biology 1001, which was online. Each week she would post the material with audio and you could do it at your own pace. She provided review sheets which helped a lot for the tests and final. Sally is an amazing prof and definitely cares about her students. Would highly recommend Dr Goddard!

Sally was great. There was 5 exams, each 14% including the final and once a topic was tested, it was not tested again. She gives you the diagrams you'll need to study and lots of practice sheets. Notes are a little long and reading the textbook will help, but most assessments were m.c. and fill in the blanks. Would recommend.

Very very easy course. Of course, there is a lot to memorize but exams are easier than lecture content. Only thing you have to do is 4 midterms which are like 13% each and the final 18% and then labs which are more time consuming. She is clear and straighforward with her lectures. With her notes,exam review and book quiz you get an easy A.
