Reviews of professor Mary Von dem Bussche

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Dr. vdB is phenomenal, but this class wrecked my life/GPA (for the better?). So many quizzes, no set pattern of questions, plenty of outside time required, so. much. information! It was probably too much work too quick, but she genuinely cares about her students and will do her best to help you. Prepare to struggle and smile! 7.5/10

She gives pop quizzes. In the beginning treats the students like Highschool students and not with respect as young adults. The exams are not too difficult but you must study hard. You are expected to have the entire notes packet memorized. There are no office hours except by making anappointment with her. The teaching was not very well explained.

She makes you read, summarize, and evaluate readings that dont have a correlation to Biology. She insists that she doesnt want you to memorize, but that all you do in the course. In class we learn definitions and what they are. But, in the test its all application and we did not discuss the application in class. Shes good, but materials bad.
