As long as you show up to class and pay attention, you can easily pass it, all exams and quizzes are easy and online.

Her lectures are very easy to understand. She is very caring when you email her about your grades and assignments. The exams are a little difficult though and are timed, but we were able to do them at home and use our notes. There was extra credit opportunities during every unit.

If you plan on taking this class make sure you study a lot at most 3 hours or at least 2 hours. Also her test are very difficult so if you don't understand something ask don't wait and she does NOT give study guides so don't plan on it. Make sure when you take her class you have a study group it'll be much easier.

if you take this professor, GOOD LUCK!! She teaches you like you're 5 but makes the material on exams so hard to understand. 50 questions for 50 mins on the exam. Doesn't consider students taking other classes either, says to read the book when it doesn't help. She makes it very difficult to want to go to office hours.

Coffman is a nice person but harsh grader. There is no curve on any test and if you didn't take AP Bio or another bio class before this, it will be a real struggle. A lot of homework, and a lot of in class participation points. Doesn't guide you on what to study and will say "you should know everything you can" when you ask a specific question.

If you want a good professor, TAKE HER. She literally goes over everything you need to know for the exam. Her exams answers are ALL on the PowerPoints! YOU HAVE TO STUDY! It's not her fault Biology is hard! LISTEN TO WHAT SHE SAYS DURING LECTURES! If you study, go to class, do her homework, get decent scores, YOU WILL PASS! JUST AS I EXPECTED!

She is a very nice woman. Class isn't too bad. My class did not require zooms. She had occasional ones that were not mandatory. Top Hat homework was a lot but the content wasn't hard. Tests were lengthy and did affect your grade quite a few. I would recommend.

TopHat assignments every week, gives 5 points extra credit, take that opportunity. STUDY FOR THE EXAMS AND ASK QUESTIONS IF NEEDED! Would recommend!

Professor Coffman is a great choice for Biol1A. There is a decent amount of homework, but the content is not too difficult. Pay attention to her lectures, go to her practice sessions, and do the homework! Tests are not too difficult; make sure you understand the concepts and have practiced. She offers some extra credit at the end of the semester.
