Reviews of professor Natasha Butz

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
She teaches the honors Biology class and... yikes. Tons of homework, hard to decipher slideshows, and heavy expectations. There WILL be things on the test she didn't teach in class. When you ask a question, she responds with an unrelated question. I ended up having to teach myself everything. She's nice, but maybe look elsewhere, honors students.

If you already have a degree in like nuclear science then this is class is for you. I took cell bio with Butz and she is genuinely the worst. She loved making exams harder than they needed to be and tricking us with questions. I did not feel supported with asking questions or wanting to meet during office hours. DO NOT TAKE WITH BUTZ

Professor Butz was great. Her accent is a little thick, but you get used to it fast. She does an excellent job at explaining hard to understand concepts. I can confidently say that she is the only professor who I know truly wants me to succeed and it is not b.s. She is wonderful and if you get the chance to take her class, I recommend.

She expects you to participate even if you don't know. Her lectures are not informative at all. When you ask a question she answers everything but what you asked her. Weekly HW and quizzes. Exams are open note, but she has no clear grading criteria. I would not take it if you want to learn. Lectures are a waste.

While Dr. Butz is very passionate about her course, I did not enjoy the set up of her tests. The wording on her tests are very tricky and there are not very many points available on them. The 3 tests are open note and I did better on the tests when I studied less due to her weird wording.
