Extremely difficult class and requires a lot of studying. There are alot of pop quizzes but she drops the lowest two scores.

Tough Class, Good Teacher. It should be a 300 level class not 100 level. Go for exam reviews and if you don't understand something, go to her ofice hours and she would be willing to help.

Great teacher...she will give you all the tools you need to pass..you just have to use them. She will clarify if you need clarification, and if you don't go for help, it's your own fault. I would take her again!

This class was so hard! I absolutely hated it when I took it with Feldman, but after I realized how much I learned.It was so much work, but I feel so prepared.I still remember everything she taught me. She really wants you to succeed. She has multiple study sessions before each test. Use them! All you have to do to pass is use all her resources

Professor Feldman is a great Professor. This class was difficult for me but not as difficult as it was for some of my classmates because they did not take bio in high school. If youre looking for and easy class dont take bio190 because it is a challengng class but overall she is a great teacher. Never really used the book just study the powerpoints

Attendance isn't mandatory but GO and take great notes, she really wants you to succeed. Do the test prep and study guides and go to help sessions. It gets easier as you go and she's really nice about helping you and goes out of her way to ensure you succeed

I have never had to write a review on a teacher and it's my third year in college. This woman is very mean and condescending. I went to her office hour once to ask her for help,but complained about my handwriting. She pretends to smile in your face but she is sneaky and mean! She is a harsh grader, boring and has favorites. Avoid her at all cost!!

This is a hard class.. it'll be that way with ANY professor but Feldman really wants her class to do well. It's structured so if you do all the labs and the minor assignments it's impossible to fail! She also wrote a great recommendation letter for me.. Hope I have her again for another class!

BIOL190 is hard. There is no way to get around that. Professor Feldman makes the class interesting with her funny stories about biology and interesting ways to remember information. its A LOT of studying, make sure you write the essays she give you to practice! She is ALWAYS available and willing to help you out, so take advantage! love her.

She is a great professor! She goes through powerpoints explaining the information in depth and answers any questions you may have along the way. All powerpoints go online after class. There are study guides in essay form for each of the exams. She holds review sessions before every exam so come with your essays already prepared. Take her!!

Dr. Feldman has been my favorite teacher since I've been at Towson! She is THE most helpful Bio teacher around, she is willing to work with you and answer any questions you might have. I HIGHLY recommend her.

Loved her! A very hard course but that isnt her fault. She is the most helpful and if you seem interested she is more willing to help you. Take her if you need to take this course.

Dr. Feldman is amazing. I loved her so much. She teaches a hard class, but if you think it's too hard, you're lazy and shouldn't be going into a health profession anyways. She holds review sessions before all tests, always answers emails, and is always clear about the subject. I loved this class, even with the challenge. She's the best! Take her!

Bio is one of the most failed courses at Towson. The material is really difficult but Feldman made it alright if you pay attention. She will help you SO much if you go to the review sessions AND her office hours more then once per week and other then test weeks. She's actually really nice and wants you to pass!! Tests are really hard. No curves.

very clear in the way she teaches and she is available for help. She holds review sessions before tests. Never went to any review sessions, just took organized notes in class and read the textbook. If you put in the work, the class is easy. youll be lost if you fall behind though. lab is challenging.

Feldman is a sweet older lady but taking biology with her was like another language. I was placed in the reverse syllabus class where you teach yourself the content and she clarifies it the next day in class. I recommend if you take her choose the normal syllabus! Exams are difficult, you have to put a lot of time and hours into memorizing essays!

Biol 190 in general is a hard class. So, prepare to study A LOT to get a good grade. Feldman's tests are exactly what she says they are- prepare the essay questions ahead of time. She also doesn't really answer questions clearly in person- but she does answer emails so take advantage of that.

People who complain are the people not working hard enough. She offers plenty of review sessions, answers emails, and is eager to assist. However, it's on you to do the reading and study the powerpoints she is not going to spoon feed it to you. She is a wonderful professor

She's wonderful professor! Definitely my most favorite class, I had the flipped class and it may seem harder but it motivates you to do the work ahead of time so she can clarify in class. Always use her narrated powerpoints and take good notes on them! I dont use the book at all since her narrated powerpoints are so thorough, but draw the pictures!

Dr. Feldman knows exactly what she's talking about. She explains things in a great way that's easy to understand. I love her!! She made this class really interesting. All biol 190 classes will be difficult but you have to have the right mindset going into the class. Take her, she's definitely worth it.
