If you don't study with others then you might do poorly on tests just because its a lot of info and the test is timed. So really study the power points for a good grade unless you're a bio pro.

I highly recommend this class to any majors that have many labs since the lab is not mandatory. The video lectures can be pretty slow but they contain everything you need to know for the tests. There are 4 mini projects for each unit which were easy and you pick which one you want to do. Overall this is a super easy class.

Just take the class, she's AWESOME. Her lectures are easy to digest. Except some of them are 20-35mins so don't push them off. Loved her you-pick assignments they were so much fun. She wants you to pass! If you have questions just email her, I did once at 8pm and she got back to me an hour later when she didn't have to. I hope to take her in-person

Professor Rothman held an online asynchronous class and everything was set up in a way that made it easy to navigate and get things done on time. Makes deadlines crystal clear and lectures very well given it is an online class as you can still feel her energy through the screen. Truly deserves a five.

There were chapter related assignments. Notes, an independently done assignment, and a test. Notes took up the most time, which was done by the online video she posts for the chapter. The independent assignment is done by choosing out of a list she posts and finishing something on the list. Tests allowed the internet and notes. Great teacher.

Professor Rothman is a super chill professor. It worked with my schedule as the class was asynchronous. Definitely reccomend taking her class for anyone wanting to learn more about human sexuality. Very easy A as long as you do all the writings etc. She also has extra credit for writing a paper if you need an extra boost in your grade

Took this course async but she has a clear structure for the course. There are videos and other resources she provides per week and as long as you understand the material, the exams will be easily done. You will also need to do an activity where u choose your assignment but there is a wide range that should fit your preferences and strengths.

She is very stick to it and open with her tests, where you can find the answers to questions on the test straight from the notes. She makes very creative projects, which were very enjoyable and easy to do. She answers her emails in the time span she would in the syllabus. Overall, her course is very fun and worth it.

I passed this class like high school. Test are easy tha you can pass easily. Plenty of extra credit & lectures are open notes. Online was easy for me. Her exams are not cumulative. Do the readings & videos. I do like her class but a little rude on inbox convos. No late work accepted. Her essays are not that long that I did 5 page report assignment.

Class is very easy and you are given a month for each topic to complete assignments. Doing the assignments shouldn't take more than a week to complete and exams are open note/internet/book. Make sure to stay on top of work as due dates are strict

Dr. Marin-Rothman is a great Professor and teaches a very easy course. The class was fully asynchronous and consisted of reading, simple projects, quizzes, and other assignments. It was really straightforward and she seemed to be a really nice and chill grader. This is how a general ed class should be! I would highly recommend taking her!

One of the easiest classes I've taken besides an online government class. This class consists of 4 units with a test, discussion, and lecture notes due each unit. I would forget about having this class until a week before the unit due date, then complete it all in 2 days. I probably spent a total of 24 hours on this class all together.
