Reviews of professor Heather Charles

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Very good lectures and powerpoint. However, does not seem very good at time management/organization. Posts everything very last minute and makes it hard to plan for assignments. Lot's of exams that aren't very spread out. Better preparation and a little bit more planned out testing schedule would make her a perfect bio professor.

Dr. Charles is a solid choice for cell bio and she doesn't make it that difficult, but there are a lot of exams that aren't very spaced out which is irritating. However she gives good study guides and it's an easy A if you show up and study a day or two before the exam. Her lectures are pretty interesting and funny also!

Professor Charles explains the material really well and has a great personality (good for staying awake during long lectures). She also really encourages participation even though its a big lab.

Dr. Charles makes this class a breeze, exams were very clear and easy if you went to class and paid attention. She's super nice and caring but can be VERY boring. Very manageable class. If you have to take BIO 203, take it with Charles!

Dr. Charles does give lectures throughout class times, and although this does seem boring her lectures always left me reassured and wondering more. She is great at explaining things in lecture to make sure we understand things fully and always ask if we need more clarification. She is a funny caring teacher and it shows in lectures and how teaches.

It is very evident that Dr. Charles really cares about her students and their success. I found the class easy because of how well she explains everything in lecture and how willing she is to stop class to answer questions. There are many exams but you get to drop your lowest score and they aren't worded tricky, they're pretty straight forward.
