Reviews of professor Jacqueline Monkiewicz

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Extremely time consuming and difficult. I spent hours every day doing homework, and would spend the entire weekend studying for the exams. The content was far too advanced for a 100 level course. Took this for science requirement and would not recommend to others. Pro is that the exams were curved VERY generously and there is plenty of extra credit

If you do not need this class do not take it, seriously. You're better off with biology. Extremely hard material, and there are rougly 20 assignments due weekly. So much information all at once. I had all A's this semester except for this class. Anything else will be easier. Courseload is insane for an intro class.

Avoid avoid avoid. The material is so condensed and there is no way any one who has a life and other classes can memorize all of the information given to us for the exams. Not worth it at all for a gen ed credit.

Not sure what the previous reviews are saying, it's not difficult at all so long as you keep up with the work. I will agree that some of the answers on the homeworks are a bit difficult to find, but that helps you learn as you find the material needed to answer the question.

The material isn't difficult, but there is a lot of it. My biggest gripe was everything on Canvas being locked behind other assignments. You had to go through every Canvas page to access the HW, you had to do everything in order, and material only opened on the week it was due. You can't get ahead. Generous exam curves though.

Dr. M was a great teacher. She always replied back in a reasonable time frame. She allowed two attempts to submit homework assignments. There were four exams to be completed. She drops your lowest exam score and your total grade is computed off your top 3 exams scores. If you are fine with your 1st 3 exam score you don't have to take the last exam.
