Followed the powerpoint word for word, puts them up on blackboard before class. Most people printed out the slides before classes, I found it was much easier to take notes prior to class, and add extra notes that way. Tests are 50 multiple choice questions, and the final wasn't cumulative.

Professor Troiano is a very nice professor. Each biology teacher has their pros and cons, but once you learn a study method for Troiano's class, you will be fine. There is a research paper that helps a lot with grades if you are struggling in the class. Reads from the power points, but very helpful if you ask for help. I recommend taking her!

Lab exams were fairly easy and straightforward, overall a fairly easy grader

Troiano is an awesome professor. She gives the regulated exams like every other bio professor and can be a bit boring in lecture but overall she is great! She is very helpful, and always there to answer questions. Her Powerpionts cover all the material that is on the exams! Take her!

Great teacher, great person. Cares about her students & their success. I had her both semesters freshman year. If you ask for 1 on 1 time or extra help she will give it, responds to emails asap. Makes chapter slides 40 slides instead of 140 like my last professor (retook the class) Attendance is mandatory, not as tough as she claims!

Lectures can get boring, but if you pay attention, you will do well. I had a terrible teacher in high school, so I barely knew any of the information before the class. She makes the information very clear.

She is very clear with lectures and gives powerpoints to read along with. It is best to print out the slides before class and take notes as she speaks because she does not allow laptops in class. Her tests are very fair so if you know the material you will do well!

She reads off the powerpoints so the tests are only on what is in the powerpoint. Attendance is mandatory. One writing assignment but she tells you what chapter it is on.

Good clear lectures. Goes really in depth about the topics without sounding boring. If you never go to class your not going to pass. Print out the slides and take good notes in lecture and you will do just fine.

Troiano is underrated. Her tests are straight forward and her lectures are, well, lectures. You're given on the test what the notes on the slides were and nothing more than that. Recommended for biology 101 and 102 if you cannot get Carelton.

She wants to get out of the classroom too so lectures are never too long. Tests are crazy hard but arent the easiest either. Lectures are pretty boring but because it is bio there is not much you can do about that. If you dont want to go to class have a friend sign you in on the attendance sheet.

Professor Troiano's lectures are very straight-forward and she never keeps you the full time. There were a couple of online quizzes and there were four exams, they were all taken from her powerpoint and she makes it so you can't fail. She's great and I would definitely take her again.

She was great. So nice and eager to help. Review sessions are great. If you fall into a routine and try hard, everything will go well.

Lectures where boring. i never payed attention. You can take notes but her power point have everything you would need to know. information is clear so just print those and study them before the test and you will do great. I studied the night before with every test and my lowest grade was a 82 including the final. i wasn't a biology expert either.

Really good lectures, sometimes long and boring but she almost always lets you leave early. You definitely need to read the chapters and pay attention in class, otherwise you wont do well but otherwise easy class

Good teacher, would definitely take again. I had an 8 am with her and she made it very enjoyable. We got out early almost every class and I would say her tests aren't to difficult. She's really nice and was always wiling to help and clarify any information.

She explains information clearly and is available outside of class. She responds to emails quickly.

All of her classes are lectures but the tests are based directly on her PowerPoints. You have an online quiz due after every chapter and she drops the two lowest quiz grades

Every day lecture. Moves through powerpoints fairly quickly, especially towards the end of the semester. Tests based off powerpoints alone. Always available and willing to help look over previous tests or any questions before/after class/during office hours. Very sweet. Mandatory MasteringBiology quizzes for each chapter, but drops lowest 2 quizzes

This Professor is by far the best Biology teacher I have had at Quinnipiac so far. She is very knowledgeable about the subject she teaches. Her lectures are very fast paced but she lets you out early almost every time. If you put in time outside of class to study you will do fine in her class. She is always available for help during office hours.

Took for Bio 101 & 102. Received A- in both but so worth it. Actually know the material & understand it all. Always available outside of class to review tests and answers questions. Amazing lectures. Usually let out early. Early classes. Information for tests just from PowerPoint. Online quizzes difficult but answers usually online. Really caring.

Took for bio 101 and 102. Great professor... lectures can get boring as she reads right off the powerpoint. Test are pretty easy if you study the powerpoint. Online quizzes are hard but use google and it will be fine. Lets class out early almost every time. Never opened the book and still did well

I had her for BIO 101 at 8 in the morning and I somehow managed to do well. If you study the powerpoints, you will do very well on the tests. Each class is a lecture & you have to take notes, but it's not terrible. And we usually got out early after every class which was nice!! She's very sweet and willing to put in the work to help if you are!

If you don't mind a professor who reads right off the powerpoint during the lectures, then she would be a good choice. She is kind and definitely means well, her class just gets a little boring (especially if you're like me and had it at 8am!) Overall a fine professor.

Professor Troiano was great! Her lectures can get a little boring but as long as you study and pay attention in class, it is an easy A. She is also super kind and understanding so if you're having a problem, just talk to her. I would definitely recommend taking her if you can !

A very good professor. Teaches straight from powerpoint but explains things well and is a caring professor. If you study the powerpoints, you'll pass. She makes a difficult class a bit better which is a huge thing for me. Only allowed two skips and then it starts to affect your grade.

I love professor Troiano. She is so nice and down to earth which makes it easy to ask her any questions you may have. BIO101 is a hard class no matter the teacher, but if you study right off her powerpoints you will do fine. The key to this class is to study, study and study.

She's really understanding and will help you whenever you have a problem. She emails you back as soon as she can. She is such a nice teacher and lets you look over old test as long as you email her. The key to this class is studying!

Very easy class. She reads right from the powerpoint and sometimes adds in different points. If you are studying for the test, you will have to understand a lot in order to understand the questions she asks. Overall it was an easy course.

She is so nice and sweet. She tries to make sure everyone does well. You have to show up or else your grade will tank. She reads right from the power point but if you study by answering and knowing the outlined questions in the beginning you will do well on the tests. You do need to study though.

I had her for a 9 am and would basically fall asleep every class without taking notes because she would leave the lights off. I would take notes out of the textbook to do the online quizzes and then do a quick review the night before the test and got As on all of them. Her lectures aren't very exciting but her tests are easy, so it is worth it.

This professor was really nice and the class was pretty easy if you took good notes and studied a bit.

Professor Troiano was a great teacher! Her class was enjoyable and she did activities in class instead of just lecturing. Her tests were just like the powerpoints. Copy notes down before class. Halfway through we switched to online classes and it wasn't bad but you had to learn most of the material on your own. Overall she is a great professor.

Professor Troiano genuinely cares about the students and the material. 90% of the assignments are group assignments and easy to navigate through. The material is interesting and taught through PowerPoints made available outside of class. She provides helpful review sheets for the tests. I definitely recommend taking professor Troiano.

She is a really nice and caring professor. Her lectures are a bit long, but she gives you the PowerPoint, so it's easier to follow. Most of the work is in groups, which is much easier and more fun to understand. She makes sure that the class is adapted to non-science majors. There were only three pretty short exams, 30 minutes max. Easy A

Professor Troiano will lecture all class long. Although it may be boring, she does go more in depth with the slides which is good. She gives lots of quizzes as homework so you have to stay on top of them or else your grade will plummet. Studying is definitely needed for the tests- they aren't extremely hard but you gotta do some work to get A.

I struggled with biology but she is a really sweet professor. You have a lot of pre/post quizzes you need to stay on top of. She tells you exactly what to expect from the exam and she let my class use lockdown browser instead of taking the test in class.

Professor Troiano is reliable and clearly lays out her expectations for the class. The class is not easy but she is by far one of the best professors that teach Bio101. Her test questions are clear and easy to answer as long as you study and put in the work for her class. She gives a lot of study resources for her exams.

Professor Troiano is very big on attendance. If you miss a certain amount of classes, she will deduct points from your final grade. But if you show up, pay attention, turn in assignments on time, and study, this class is not as tough as everyone makes it out to be. Professor Troiano is good about answering emails and questions!

She's one of the better professors from what I hear. Her class is very lecture heavy. Everything you need to study is on the slides she presents in class. I suggest going to peer catalyst reviews and practicing Pearson questions. Its a hard class and there's a lot to learn but if you study in advance and get help when needed you will do well.

If you pay attention in lecture, take notes and study, you will do well. Her lectures can be boring but she tells you everything you need to know for the tests. Her power points will be extremely helpful when studying. If its not in the power point, its not on the test. Super nice and understanding

Lecture heavy but her tests are straight from the powerpoint and aren't meant to trick you. She's really nice and approachable if you have a question.

This course is very lecture heavy, but thats how BIO101 is in general. Only lets you take notes by hand, no computers allowed. Even so, Prof. Troiano really cares about her students and is super accommodating. If you study her powerpoints, you should do well on all her tests. Only HW is weekly videos and online chapter quizzes w/ retakes available.

Very lecture heavy and not many other worksheets to help. No computers allowed during lecture and she moves really fast I can barley keep with the notes. If you can I would print the slides beforehand, but that just seemed like a lot of extra work for me..

Pretty easy class for non health science majors. 10 question quizzes every monday on the previous week's lectures that you get 2 tries on and are pretty easy if you just pay attention and take good notes. A few group projects thorughout the sem but nothing too hard. Weekly assignments that range from perusall videos to worksheets. I loved her!!!

As a non-health science major, she made this class easy and accessible. The class is very lecture heavy and there are quizzes every week but nothing to stress as long as you have re-read the material. The group projects are pretty easy going and the overall vibe of the class is very chill. She as a person is very caring and easy to talk to.

Took BIO104 over the summer and it was a lot of work because it's a summer class, but honestly prof. Troiano seems pretty understanding and wants her students to succeed and her lectures were clear and to the point.

Pretty easy class. Prof Troiano shares her Powerpoints and walks you through them. Take good notes and you should be fine. Marks attendance every day. Group projects are not hard. Lots of questions from the chapter quizzes end up on the unit tests -- study them. Unit tests themselves are not too hard. Will be taking again next semester

Professor Troiano gives a lot of work to do but it works out in the end because it boosts your grade. She doesn't respond to email quickly but it helps when you meet with her. She just lectures and usually lets class out early.

Professor Troiano is a caring lady who wants you to do well in class. She reads off powerpoint slides (which you are given in advance), and will add a few notes in. Some exams are more difficult (Exam 2), but the rest are basic class material. However you must study to do well. Group projects are easy and a grade booster.

She's nice. Lectures off powerpoints all class, but they're good material to study from. Lots of class participation, attendance, and homeworks to boost your grade. Various group projects. Exams are not that hard if you study. Very accessible through email. I took her for 101 also and that went just as well.

omg love 100000% recommend. super nice grading and such laid back classes. all the labs are in groups and shes so willing to help. reminds me of hs teachers j very chill overall love her

I had this professor for Bio 101 and Bio 102, and I really liked having her as my professor. She mainly lectures from the 60-slide PowerPoint and follows the university curriculum for the course. The tests are fair, but if you want to do well, you have to study. Group projects are a good grade booster. She is also very responsive with emails.

Really good professor, cares about students, but lectures the entire class. She really just repeats the same things that are on the slides but she does normally let class out early. She isn't the best at answering emails but she will always meet with students.

Prof Troiano is a great professor! She lectures the entire class and it can be a bit boring but the unit tests are super easy as long as you study the slides. There are 3 group projects that aren't difficult and hw assignments every week. There are 4 tests, the 4th one is the final and not cumulative.

Professor Troiano is amazing. She is very sweet, yet pushes everyone to be the best. As someone who had a hard year with my health, I was able to bounce back.
