Some of the criticism on here is true, however I felt compelled to write this review because some of it is unfair and false. This is not an easy class, you need to put in time to pass (just showing up to lecture isn't enough) Lecture can be dry at times, but she is passionate about biochem. Lab is easy and the online HW is extra credit to help you.

Here lectures are just read off of power point. she doesnt remember if she has told you something before. Her power poin slides and teaching style do not mimic how she asks questions on tests. she can get side tracked easily, not good at remembering names of people in class. she is not clear on much of anything, get a study prtner

She is a great teacher! Bio is a tough subject to explain so most of the lecture is by powerpoint, but she is more than happy to answer your questions although some may be beyond the realm of biology. You are responsible for your grade. Take advantage of all the study guides on Mastering Bio. Read the book. Make flashcards. Its a hard subject!

Every class there will be a lecture (Powerpoint). What I've noticed during my class time with her is that she is very chill. When I mean very chill, it is up to you if you want to pass the class or not I can not stress this enough, Take MasteringBio or you will have a hard time passing. Most of the test questions are on the handouts or Bio

I can't tell you enough how important mastering biology was for this class. If you don't have it you are at a disadvantage. The test questions correspond to the quizzes on mastering bio. Mastering bio also has flashcards that help you learn the information. Textbook didn't give enough information or help. Teacher will help if asked.

This ultimately self teaching class contains lectures that are all over the place, and dont pertain to the tests. Read or you wont pass *DO ALL MASTERINGBIO!! This is what caused me to pass the class. Its a good thing I forgive and forget easily b/c she does openly make fun of the 'slackers' and openly imply who failed her tests and who didnt.

Dr. Clark is a very nice person. She definitely knows what shes talking about, but she is very bad at explaining it. Her lectures are pretty disorganized, as she jumps between topics and between PowerPoint slides. I had a really difficult time in this class because her lectures are long and really hard to follow.

Dr. Clark only lectures off PowerPoints and will often jump between that and trying to draw things on the board. Lectures are pretty hard to follow.

She is a wonderful professor! You need to attend the class to succeed. The tests are very straightforward and fairly easy. Do NOT buy the book.

She always is available to talk whether it is before, after, or outside class she always wants to make sure you aren't struggling and ASK question throughout the 50-minute class!

If I had to take this class again I would take it from Dr Clark. I worked my butt off but I learned. What I like the most is Dr Clark is always available. If you want to meet in a zoom call she will meet anytime of the day. You just have to show you have tried. Sometime she gives answers but sometimes guides you to find answers.

There are no lectures. She's not always available, because it's not physically possible to give everyone a private Zoom lesson every week. The class is just you and a book. The tests are hard even if you know the book backwards and forwards.

I had to drop this class but I wish I hadn't. You should take bio from Clark. I am in another bio181 at the same campus now and I learned more in 1 month with Dr Clark than in 2 months with this other professor. The difference is Dr Clark treats us like college students not high school students. She expects you to work but helps you if you ask

This class is organized and easy to follow. You need to spend time to work on assignments but you will never wonder what's due. Everything is clear. You know what's due and when. She grades assignments quick so you never feel like you don't know how you're doing.

Science is hard for me and this class was hard but I learned more than I thought was possible in a summer class. I'm an older returning student and was in shock at the beginning but follow the rules and you will get a good grade. She gives you 3 chances to take each quiz and 2 chances to take the final and gives you 2 days to do each one.

If you need to take bio181 you should take this class. I loved it. It was hard but Dr Clark gives you so many chances to improve your grade. I was going to wait to take this class when they start offering it on campus again but I'm happy I went ahead and took Dr Clark online instead. She's easy to talk to and always available, almost 24-7.

Dr. Clark does not make videos or audio recordings. She does not lecture at all! You need to read a dense textbook from cover to cover. She doesn't communicate well, never formally introduced herself, and doesn't even turn on the camera when Zooming. It is hard to get a Zoom meeting with her because everyone in the class wants one. Frustrating.

By far the worst class I have ever taken. She expects you to spend 30+ hours on a 100 level biology class, and it still wont be enough to pass the tests. She tests on super abstract concepts that she does not teach. She doesnt actually teach anything anyways. You read a dense textbook cover to cover, and the test questions are not in the book.

Lots of homework

I am not sure how she is in person but I would not recommend taking her online class unless you don't have many other classes. Demands a lot of time and attention to her class and it feels like she expects us to act like its our only class. Chapters are LONG and the tests are way harder than the practice and the homework.

Only thing fun about this class was the labs. The tests which you take every week and the final exam are conceptual based. Practically none of it comes from her PowerPoints. I'd say focus on the videos and read the key concepts on the textbook.
