Mrs. Jones is an exceptional instructor. Any questions you may have she can answer. The first day of class was awkward because no one would talk to her. Most of us quickly "Warmed Up" to her so to speak. She is very easy to talk to. You will work for your grade and the hardest part I'd say are the pop tests after each lecture. Study or fail.

Mrs. Jones is a gifted teacher. She explains difficult topics with everyday examples. I didn't have to spend money on books or textbook codes either because she uses a free textbook and writes her own labs. I will definitely take 102 with her.

Mrs. Jones' Bio 101 online was a good class. Everything you needed to do the class was contained in Canvas (didn't have to buy an access code). We had a module due each week and there were a total of 12 modules, each had a quiz and most had a lab. She drops your lowest lab score and lowest two quiz scores. There was a midterm and a final exam.

Ms. Jones was one of the best professors I had this year. She made sure you understood the material and that you were comfortable with the material. One thing that stood out about Ms. Jones is that on test day, she would had out gum and talk to you about your interests to calm your nerves. I would definitely recommend her as a professor.

Mrs. Jones is a great professor. She made class very engaging and fun to learn. I had a difficult work schedule this semester and she allowed me to join class via Zoom when I had to. She also put all of the lecture material on her Canvas page in a order. That made studying easier and less stressful. She also used a FREE textbook.

Ms. Jones has a good class structure and a lot of module work that is fairly easy to do well in if you watch all the lectures and videos and read the assigned material. The exams are long and questions are very specific, which can greatly increase or decrease your grade. Going to your professor for extra help for test review is what saved my grade.

This was one of the best classes I've had at Shelton. Mrs. Jones made biology relevant to everyday life. Her lectures were clear, you knew what was going to be on the tests, and the tests were straightforward. She uses an open textbook (free) and has written her own labs. I was not out-of-pocket beyond tuition for the course. Highly recommend!

Her lectures were interesting, but had nothing to do with what was on the tests. On average, you'd have a day of lectures or projects, then do online learning and quizzes at home. These quizzes were specific, so you have to study carefully! Do NOT rely on her lectures for answers.

Do not take this class unless your ready for constant videos and your comfortable with teaching yourself. Biology 101 should've never been this hard. If you really HAVE to take this class, make sure you ace all the labs and quizzes to save your grade for the exams. She also doesn't provide a study guide.

I took this class online and it was very organized. Lots of long lecture videos and reading. The book was helpful but lectures had way too much info. The textbook was free online and she wrote most of the labs herself. The quizzes and tests are very difficult and very specific however the labs were easy and you could re-work them for better grades.

She was nice, professional, and responded in a timely manner. Nothing wrong with her personally, the class was just very difficult and super time-consuming.
