Reviews of professor Cara Boutte

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This class will take up A LOT of your time and focus so plan ahead wisely. The way the class is taught is very unique so you'll struggle at first, but subsequent assignments become easier with experience and Boutte is great at giving feedback. This class helped the most in understanding how to read research papers than any i've taken in 3 years.

The class is DEMANDING! She holds you to a high standard, but you learn so much. It's project-based, no exams, most assignments are done in groups during class. Her recorded lectures are great and she gives you all the background you need to understand the papers. Her feedback is very blunt, but she always answers questions and is easy to contact.

Professor Boutte is a great professor. This class is focused mostly on giving you the skills you need to actually do well in science. Be prepared to read papers, do group projects, and use online resources that actual biologists use to learn pathways. She gave me a great basis of knowledge to work off of for later classes as well. Take this class.

dont listen to any other positive rating for this teacher, she is so rude and expects us to know as much as she does. She only started getting "nice" towards the end of the semester, but she has easily been the worst professor I have ever had at my time in UTA. Literally only take her if she is the only professor for the class. Def not worth it!
