Reviews of professor Julie Merkle

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Merkle is a great professor. She knew our class names when we walked in the door on the first day, and made an effort to get to know each one of us. She is very helpful when answering questions or addressing difficult concepts. This course requires a lot of work and for you to stay on top of the material, but she is always willing to help.

Genetics is hard by itself. Dr Merkle makes it easy to understand and will work with students until they understand the material.. great person and instructor

Dr. Merkle is fantastic. She is kind and funny. She gives you an opportunity to ask a question or two every single class period with note cards (no more asking 'stupid questions' outloud!)

Dr. Merkle is kind, honest, and fair. She cares about you and if you are struggling there are many ways to reach out, including semi-anonymous notecards (she eventually learns handwriting). Those are GREAT if you have anxiety. Take honors if you can!!!!!!!

Dr. Merkle is the best! Its very clear she cares about her students and wants them to succeed. She made genetics really fun, even though its a difficult course and when we went online, she put in so much effort to keep our class going smoothly. She is never condescending or rude. I cannot recommend her enough as a professor.
