Great professor! She really knows her stuff. Easy class, just read the book. Her lectures are also very entertaining.

She's definitely one of the most animated professors I've ever had-- you don't need to go to class to do well. Pretty difficult tests, EASY online quizzes, moderately easy HW. Nice lady, decent lecture, obnoxious sense of humor. Take it for an easy grade!

Dr. Conelly is my favorite teacher at RIT. She is so helpful to even the dumbest of students, and her unique teaching style makes class actually worth coming to. There's never a dull moment in her classroom, and you should do anything to get into her as a teacher. And, let's face it, she's got a great pair of.......assets.

She is EXTREMELY helpful if you see her in her office, and is always willing to help...but her tests are VERY difficult. No matter how much you review, it's never quite enough. The questions are all multiple choice, but they're really obnoxious multiple choice. However, with enough review griding, you are pretty much guaranteed an A.

she's pretty intense and her tests can get hard, but everything I learned ... I really learned. Prof. Connelly & S. Morgan are a great team!

Generally a good teacher. Uses iClicker questions as bonus points. Questions on exams directly from lectures, but there are some that require text reading, so do both. Would take classes with her again. Fair class.

Good professor. Very helpful when questions are asked. Uses clicker points for extra credit and sometimes hands out worksheets to those in class for extra credit. Easy homework and quizzes. But her tests and homeworks are graded inconsistently hard. Be prepared for tough, more in depth test material then covered in lecture.

One of my favorite professors. She is very helpful and friendly, and keeps the class interesting

Fun prof, test are fairly easy if you pay attention and go to class

Very energetic and keeps class interesting. I really enjoy having her. Tests are somewhat challenging but if you study you'll be fine.

This professor is awesome, I'm not sure why the guy below me, the one who doesn't seem like he should be in a college, rated her so low. She helps outside of class and is genuinely kind and interesting to talk to. If you do the review worksheets and apply yourself you should do well in the class. Recitation and review times are also available.

Gen Bio I-III: She is nice, and super goofy; however, her slides contain only the bare bones of the information you are required to know. Her first exam is always easy. The next two she pulls stupid questions that you have never seen in the book or her notes. 3 exams + final, drops the lowest. Does not round letter grades 89.999 = B.

AMAZING! She's very helpful and does her best to make class fun. However class isn't easy, taking notes from the book helped me a lot. Dr. C is very kind and approachable if you get stuck.

very clear and friendly. holds a review session before each test in which she lets students know what is on the test to a degree. upbeat and interesting lectures.

While I don't really prefer her personally all the time, she is a great professor. Had her for General Bio I, II, III. Homeworks are super easy. Tests can be specific but as long as you study the notes and textbook you're fine.

Very nice, quirky and fun. Tough grader, makes you learn your stuff but makes the class interesting. Online homeworks/quizzes are awesome (lots of answers available via google).

She is very fast pace in her lecture. She encourage questions but must be related to the topics. If you approach her in office hours, be sure you have done some work about your questions. She won't help if you do not show that you have tried hard to understand specific things in her lectures or homework assignments.

Quick during lectures, but she knows her stuff. Really helpful in office hours, but make sure you come with good questions. Tests are easy if you study the material well; mostly multiple choice, fill ins, and matching. Masteringbio is easy and can boost your grade.

Explains things very well and in an easy way. The labs, although, are really clear with the content taught in lecture. Sometimes Im told one thing in lecture and another in lab. Its very annoying

Connelly is possibly one of the most annoying professors I've ever had. Completely obnoxious, can barely stand going to class. Luckily, the material is super easy, including tests and homework. The class is very manageable, but the professor tells horrible jokes, moves really fast through the material, and makes me want to jump in front of a car

Dr. Connelly is AWESOME! While attendance is not required, I'd reccomend attending daily. She will work with you with any questions you have, but she knows how to test you on them! Prepare for her tests and you'll be fine.

Dr C is a great teacher. She wants her students to learn and understand what she has to say. She has lots of officer hours and is more than willing to help. You wont necessarily need the textbook, but you do need the mastering bio code for the online work. Grading is firm, firm but fair. Not really easy but an A is very attainable with some work

Dr. Connelly is extremely no-nonsense and can be a little abrupt. However, she really knows her material, is extremely helpful and certainly does a great job at teaching a class this big. You can definitely get an A if you pay attention in class and read the book - be aware if you hate reading, a lot of test questions are straight out of the book.

Dr. C is my favorite prof this semester. She has a lecture class that is actually engaging and knows the material really well. She answers any questions clearly and is generally really pleasant.

Dr.Connelly is great. She is always excited about the information she's teaching, which makes the student excited to learn it. She is extremely helpful and friendly, and makes class an enjoyable time even early in the morning. She takes a lot of time to supply materials so students feel ready for the exams. Take Evolutionary Bio with her!

Dr. Connelly is great. She is very passionate about what she teaches. She holds review sessions before tests and wants her students to do well. Tests are fair, if you study the material and go to class you will do well.

Tests are kind of weird, but there is a lot of extra credit to help your grade. It is easy to do well once you figure out her formula and study what she tells you to.

Dr. Connelly is a good teacher, though when she teaches upper level classes like this one - her tests are weird. Though you get TONS of extra credit to make up for the weird grading. Sometimes you get random attendance checks but not many.

Dr. Connelly is very helpful if you make the extra effort to go see her and ask questions. Sometimes she can be confusing about what she wants you to study for the tests and sometimes her test questions are odd. However, she does drop one test and drops several of the online homeworks and online quizzes. Excellent, personable teacher.

Crazy, Hilarious, and passionate! Be ready to get wierded out by this prof's strange mannerisms and cat obsession. Dr. Connelly gives great lectured that are incredibly fun, engaging, and comprehensive. I highly recommend going to her pre-test review sessions. Incredible professor! Would Take again! I love her, shes the best!

Love her positive energy! She's very helpful and will always take time to clarify confusing topics during our lectures, even though we always have a lot of content to go through. You can seriously tell that she cares about our success. Expect weekly online HW and quizzes though. Definitely would take again!

Sandi is honestly my favorite teacher. Biology entails learning a lot of information, and she makes it fun while you learn. It is a tough class because of all the content, but once you get used to the format of the exams, it gets easier and easier. I am taking gen bio 2 with her this semester as well, there's no other teacher I would rather be with

Her lectures are extremely fun, she is full of energy.

Very nice. A lot of content but if you study you will do fine

Dr. Connelly is a character. Most find her to be funny. She wants you to learn, and has extra credit sometimes. There is a lot of material in this course, but she explains things well, and she always lightens the mood. She is really sweet and a unique professor.

She is deaf friendly and gives great lectures! The class is a lot of work but interesting and not too difficult.

Connelly is a great professor who keeps lectures entertaining with jokes and videos. Homework is online and usually weekly and short. Tests are pretty easy compared to other BIOL101 teachers. Attendance and the textbook are not required but they are recommended. Her PowerPoint slides are posted if you do miss class and they are great for review.

I took Bio 101 as a summer course so it was a semester's worth of material crammed into 5 weeks. The course was challenging because of the time constraints but Dr. Connelly made it a blast and much less painful than it could have been. She is VERY clear with her expectations and is always willing to give clarification if needed.

Great professor. Currently am taking her class and can easily say SHE WILL help you IF you do the work and show her that you care. No one wants to go the extra mile for someone who doesn't care about their own grades. She makes the lectures fun , even when the material is boring, and really tries to prepare you for the exams.

(ONLINE CLASS) I'm in the middle of this class and it's honestly pretty easy. I can't confirm or deny what the other people are saying, but I can tell you that I only spend 2-3 hours each week actually studying content and doing work. She gives more support to her students than your other professors do.

This course has a heavy workload for a general biology course with a lot of busy work that goes in depth. The final exam is replaced by a semester long project that is completed in parts and is very in depth. I had a different professor for Gen Bio 2 and it was pretty much the same way. Connelly explains things well but can be a bit rude.

The workload is average. She posts announcements every Sunday on what is coming up so you never miss assignments. Makes recorded lectures interesting and I actually enjoy BIO more now after taking her. Isn't the friendliest when you email her but I can also understand her frustration when getting asked questions she has already answered.

Dr. Connelly is overall a good professor. Her grading is fair and within a timely fashion. The weekly quizzes as well as the exams are all open notes, making her class manageable and fairly easy. The only thing that could be said about her is that her lectures are lengthy.

I think she has been the best professor at RIT very personal and is also very helpful if you have questions am trying to get her for Bio102

She is absolutely hilarious! Her lectures are genuinely amazing and her explanations really help the students understand the concepts. 10/10 would absolutely take her class for 4 years if I could!
