The best aspects of the course included the guest speakers and the interactive class discussions. The worst aspect of the course was the professor’s lack of communication with students. Many felt that she never responded to emails and that the course had no new biology material to offer. To improve the class, students suggested covering more topics and giving more structure to the class assignments. Prospective students should know that this is an extremely basic but fun biology course and it wil be what the student makes of it.

Students praised this course for having a reasonable amount of work and for al owing students to work in groups. However, some students felt that expectations and instructions were somewhat disjointed. Students suggested adding more organization and more hands-on activities.

Students praised this relaxed discussion-centered course which covered a wide variety of material. Perceived issues with the course were few as most students had few complaints with the course; however, multiple students felt the course was too relaxed and could have used more teaching or direction. Suggestions for improvement were also few as students expressed satisfaction with the course as it currently exists; however, some students wished to see more material presented during the course.
