Professor Chooi is a wonderful teacher! Hard class, but great prof!!

i like her. she's funny

She is an awesome professor and I thought that her class was a lot of fun. She made biology fun and interesting, which encouraged me to take more courses in biology. She was also extremely helpful, answering emails during evenings, etc.

Lectures were interesting and funny. She gave us extra credit practice exams right before the real ones. This was a big help in this otherwise difficult course.

I think she's the only Immunology teacher. To pass her tests memmorize EVERYTHING that has to do with the diseases. The tests are all recall, very difficult. Also she is not very responsive to your emails, but her outlines are helpful.

extra credit, funny lectures, good teacher, easy bio grade for ppl who suck at bio

Dr. Chooi is a really good professor- very nice, funny and makes the class somewhat interesting. Attendance counts toward EC for your final, so go to class!! If you're not going to attend, though, find someone that you can get the class notes from, because they help on the tests.

She is funny and makes the class interesting, but you HAVE to attend class as part of your grade... Exams are multiple choice but difficult - study, study, study!! And if you need help, don't go to her... she's not very responsive; but the AIs and UTIs are

OK, she is a good teacher, interesting and funny, but you have to attend an extra class as a part of your grade, along with other lectures, so in all, you have to attend 4 hours a week but only get 3 credits for it! It's unfair and it sucks (especially if you already have 18 hours without the extra one added on)!

Good teacher and good class setup. Extra credit exams make the class easier and are good review for the real exams.

She makes the class a little more interesting and she is a funny prof. But her tests are hard and she can be unclear in her lectures, but her outlines are very helpful along with the extra credit exams.

I like the class. The tests require serious studying. She funny and helpful.

Appears to be very difficult at first. You MUST not only study the extra credit exams before the test, but MEMORIZE these extra credit exams...especially for the final. ATTEND CLASS EVERY DAY! I CAN'T EVEN EXPRESS HOW IMPORTANT ATTENDING CLASS IS FOR YOUR GRADE. I didn't understand anything she said all semester, but I got a B+ in the class.

Very funny! I hate bio but love her! Her tests were easy! Gives out study guides with questions that are on the test! Made class fun!

Some exam questions are out of nowhere. Lecture is interesting and you will learn a lot of random things about biology. She's a nice lady, but she's way too smart to be teaching an intro class. I think she uses the same exams every year and forgets that there are certain topics we never covered yet they still show up on the exam.

Interesting professor, sometimes ditzy and forgets what has been covered. Gives out MAJOR extra credit if you have perfect attendance, up to 10% of your grade. Make sure you take advantage of the book and the cd that comes with it, some questions are directly from the bio website she gives out on the first day.

She is kind of ditsy when it comes to daily lectures. But overall, easy if you come to class take advantage of ALL the extra credit she gives, read the book and take notes. I learned a lot in her class!

She offers ridiculously large amounts of extra credit. However you MUST attend every lecture or she will take it all away. She is extremely knowledgeable in basic biology, in fact much of what you learn in 112, she personally discovered when she did research at Harvard. She's entertaining and a little crazy, but really nice and loves to teach.

She is incredibly intelligent and knows everything about what she teaches. Unfortunately, she is a little unorganized so it REALLY helps to read the textbook and look over her online notes (her "skeletons" as she calls them). She offers SO MUCH extra credit too but you may only have 1 unexcused absence all semester. It is totally worth it though.

Prof. Chooi is the best teacher ever! I don't really know what the person below is talking about. I thought all the material was very clear. She is kind, helpful and on top of that, HILARIOUS. Makes biology incredibly entertaining. At the end of the semester, you will really feel like you got a great education. The best at IU by far...

This class is pretty informative. She gives you extra credit if you go to lecture, which definitely helps. However, 90% of the class is based off exams. STUDY. The material isn't incredibly difficult, but you will probably need to know everything about the processes or material you previously learned about.

Gives an obscene amount of extra credit and genuinely wants everyone to do well. Lectures cover the basics, but time outside of class needs to be taken to get an A (as with most classes). Class was slightly unorganized, but the class was always updated on changes. She made the class interesting and is very funny.

Prof Chooi is funny and helpful. Her class was a great intro class and got me really excited about my major. She offers a ton of extra credit and even gives extra credit exams. Attendance is absolutely mandatory if you want the extra credit. Loved this class!

Chooi was an amazing professor. She gives out extra credit A LOT - attendance (but on a sign in sheet), EC exams, and quizzes. All the extra credit bumped me up from a C+ to an A. Lot of material, but she understands that, so she does well in explaining everything. You can tell that she is passionate about her field of study. 1010 would reccomend

Prof. Chooi is hilarious. Class doesn't follow the book at all but if you study her lecture notes the tests are not too difficult. Very large extra credit opportunity however, you must go to every single lecture if you want the extra credit.

I don't know how prof Chooi could receive bad reviews. She was great for human biology and super easy to understand and hilarious. Plus, she gives extra credit opportunities for everything as long as you have perfect attendance! All assigned hw is ec and you get ec exams in addition to full credit. I thought I would fail but she spoiled us.

she is very funny during her lectures, but also extremely disorganized and for the most part the actual lecture content is presented in a boring way. talks about her personal life and then rushes through the remaining material. she offers an obscene amount of extra credit, so it wasn't actually difficult at all.

Professor Chooi must be one of my favorite biology teachers yet. Her class is set up in a manner where you are not having to worry about the delicate balance of your grade and therefore get to focus on the material actually being taught and expand from it. This is not to say that she hands you an A.

I failed biology my first semester, so I retook it with prof Chooi. Her tests were MUCH easier and she gives so much extra credit. You have 3 tests and a final. She drops the lowest test score (besides the final). You can earn up to 10% extra credit just by showing up to class every day. Professor Chooi is hilarious. I would take her again.

Immunology is quite detailed and technical. Professor Chooi enthusiastically presents the material and tells great stories to keep the class engaged. She emphasizes important points and offers abundant extra credit, which is extremely generous for an upper-level course. Studying in advance is key to achieving high marks, especially on the final.

She is really nice and caring but I would definitely go to her weekly and exam reviews because they really help!

She really offers a lot in the fact that all the quizzes are extra credit and she has an extra credit exam before every real exam and she will drop your lowest exam grade and it could be the final if you wanted it to be!

She posts lectures on Canvas and these are helpful to look through before class! Also, she gives a lot of extra credit! She is funny and really does care about the students and has help available every week!

Very funny and invested in her classes

Funny, good teacher, very knowledgeable. Gives lots of extra credit, just pay attention in class.

If you go to lecture all year she gives a ton of extra credit at the end of the semester, can bump your grade up at a lot. If you go to class the tests aren't too difficult

Very knowledgeable on the topic and likes what she teaches. Her class is very lecture heavy without much class engagement. She can be funny but it is usually because of her bluntness. The tests are very manageable. The content is explicitly from class. Reading the textbook really helps. She gives massive extra credit but you need perfect attendance

Professor Chooi is a very intelligent and interesting professor. She does have a strict attendance policy but its not hard to abide by and is a large part of your grade. Theres no homework, but there are tests and quizzes, which arent too bad if you attend lectures and study your notes.

Very easy class overall. Simply go to class and you will get a ton of extra credit at the end. If you pay attention to lectures, take decent notes, and do the review guides/tests it is an easy A. Plus, Chooi is absolutely hilarious during lectures.

Dr. Chooi is very knowledgeable about her subject, extremely detailed and slightly boring lectures but I feel like I've learned a lot. Lots of extra credit available if you have perfect attendance, no homework, and overall a very interesting lady. Always gives an extra credit exam the class before the actual exam that was great for studying!

I loved her! Shes funny yet knowledgeable, lectures are informative, study guides prepare you for tests, and extra credit is given based on attendance. One of the first classes I took in college and shes still one of my favorites.

Took during COVID. We had to watch video lectures & take a quiz every week. Read the textbook. Her quizzes and exams can be randomly specific so you need to take notes over literally everything. She gives extra credit to boost your final grade by up to 10%. Lectures were boring but informative. Not an easy A, but if u put in the work you'll do fine

There is a lot of extra credit and the tests were a mix of straight from the textbook answers while there was a handful of real life application questions. The discussion quizzes were really easy. I would recommend getting as much extra credit as possible with attendance and the extra credit tests and studying the extra credit exams to pass.

Prof. Chooi is a very good lecturer, funny and interesting. But her assignments and quizzes are far too easy. All quizzes are open note-open internet-multiple choice. We are learning about the complex workings of the cell and I didn't have to study all semester to pull an easy A.

Prof. Chooi, is amazing. Lectures are mandatory especially if you want to receive extra credit towards the end of the semester. This class is test heavy but exams are open note/book. She makes sure all of students succeed!

I have never been a fan of biology but Professor Chooi made this class enjoyable. She gives lots of opportunities for you to succeed in this class and is available through email to answer questions and concerns. If you attend class and take advantage of the extra credit there is no reason not to get an A in this class!

Prof Chooi is super nice and really cares about her students. She also gives up to 10% extra credit at the end of the semester. However, her tests can be a little difficult at times, but they are multiple choice. Overall, I would take her again!

All her quizzes and exams were open note, open internet, and open book and all were take-home. Even though it's open to anything, just know you still have to know some of the material taught because some things are not found online! She gives notes and her lectures are about going over them so she gives you hints on what will be on the test.

Take the class with Chooi. She is the best Biology teacher at IU Bloomington. She's literally god-tier. She offers plenty of extra credit and exams are open-note, open computer, and on canvas. The only thing to watch out for about the class is that all attendance is mandatory; for both lecture and discussion.

Gave lot's of extra credit. All exams were taken online at home, open note and open internet search. All quizzes and exam were straight forward and right out of lecture. Discussion is mandatory and you take quizzes that are NOT open note, but they review right before and overall they're easy

She is possibly one of the best Bio teachers here. She was very responsive to student feedback. Her class is lecture heavy, but with all the information she has to get across, it has to be. She would bring in things she found interesting outside of curriculum. The extra credit exams were amazing too. Very easy to get an A in this class.

Chooi was incredibly knowledge about her lectures. While the material is dense and not incredibly interesting I always felt that I understood the material after her lectures. She has many extra credit opportunities and drops the lowest exam and quiz.

She gives a lot of extra credit. The only way to fail this class is to not attend class and miss you major tests. Attendance is not mandatory, it is just extra credit. As long as you take the Extra credit exam, most of the test questions on the test is the same as EC exam that you can just search the internet for the answer

Pretty good professor. She has a doctorate and is so sophisticated and knows a lot on all her subjects. Very lecture heavy. Like the whole class is just sit and stare at the screen while they go over slides, but ig that's every class nowadays. But she is a great professor and offers lots of extra credit and help.

Chooi does not deserve any slander she is such a sweet women who wants all of her students to succeed and always asks for our opinions and ways she can improve. Every class is a powerpoint lecture but she explains everything in depth and goes at a good pace. It is very easy to get an A, most quizzes are open-note and there's a ton of extra credit.

Prof. Chooi was amazing. The course was difficult but definitely nothing I couldn't handle. I had a b+ before all the extra credit was put in at the end of the semester and ended with an a+. Overall amazing professor that will make sure you understand the content and is available outside class.

Coming from someone whose last bio class was in my freshman year of high school, this class was a bit challenging but nothing too bad. Professor Chooi has a soft voice so I'd suggest sitting in front for lectures. She gives a lot of extra credit; if you attend lectures and do the quizzes/exams, you can get a B or higher in the class.

Professor Chooi is very funny and informative in her lectures. Lectures sometimes drag or Chooi may start to ramble a bit, but the lectures are typically great and help with understanding of the material. Very few assignments outside of tests. Very generous extra credit (up to 10%). Prepares students well for tests, and cares about her students.

Lectures can be a bit dry, but Chooi knows her stuff. Lots of extra credit and exam flexibility to balance it out. unstuck study was a lifesaver for practice questions - definitely recommend using it alongside the textbook.

Dr. Chooi is a great professor. Although her lectures can be a bit boring, you can tell she cares about the material and knows it well. She clearly cares about her students as well. Overall, this class is pretty easy as long as you study and go to class and discussion. There is also opportunity for a ton of extra credit which is great.

Chooi is a great prof and she's really smart and knows what she's talking about. Attendance is mandatory and if you miss more than 2 classes you cannot receive any extra credit. She's really nice and has great humor. The class itself is a LOT of memorization but other than that it's not bad at all. She also ends class like 40 mins early.

Dr. Chooi is great! The lectures can be a little difficult to keep up with at first, but you get used to it. She always cracks jokes and cares about what she teaches. Just be prepared to study some complex topics and a quick pace. Extra credit exams and attendance are very generous and worth the extra effort. She cares about your success.

Professor Chooi is caring, smart, and funny. She offers multiple opportunities for extra credit up to 10% but you can't have more than 2 absences. It's not impossible to do well in her class, you just have to keep up with her pacing and do a lot of work outside of class.
