Reviews of professor Brianna Reed

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Bri is a really nice person, but her class was one of the most stressful labs ever. Lab was not terrible, but the workload was insane and she ran out of time to grade at the end of the semester so no one knew their grades. She was a really tough grader for the first part of the semester until time began to run out. She's an ok option still.

I honestly don't get all the hate Bri is getting. Bio lab is radically different from chem labs--you're doing geniune research that requires a lot more critical thinking. Slides assignments take a while, but her feedback for revision is generally pretty straightforward if your group is putting in the effort. Definitely take if given the option!

Super sweet, always willing to help, but can take a bit of time to grade. Wasn't too much work overall during the semester until near the end with final presentations. Can be nitpicky with grading, class averages are A-/B+. Still unsure of grade. Would recommend though! Group members are more important than the prof in bio labs tho!

She was kind of harsh with slide assignment comments, but she still didn't really take too many points off. Can be a little passive aggressive, but was generally nice and helpful. Her averages fall within the averages of other sections at the end of it all, so it wasn't impossible to do well.

Lab was very disorganized and felt rushed. Would leave with multiple long homework assignments every week. So much work that is all graded VERY harshly. Going to office hours to get feedback on the group work was somewhat helpful, but it's difficult to get good grades if you don't have a good group. Somehow finished with an A, but I would avoid.

Bri is a nice, very approachable person, who is available for your (inevitably many) questions, but the class itself is irredeemable. EVERY class either runs over the time (the written schedule is meaningless) or is simply not completed--leaving you with ridiculous quantities of extra work IN ADDITION to the already massive amounts of regular HW.

Bri is very nice and easy to get in contact with fast even weekends. Labs were always running behind and the end was her frantically telling us the hand full of long homework assignments we were supposed to have time to start but didn't. Grades harshly but if you show interest by going to office hours she will rise them. Knows alot just unorganized

(For Duckweed Survivor lab) Bri's lectures were sometimes boring but during experiments she makes sure everyone knows what they are supposed to do which is helpful. You work in groups of 4. A lot of hw, but it's manageable if your group works together. Bri is very approachable if you need help. Kinda challenging but if you put in effort it's fine.
