Reviews of professor Elizabeth McCarthy

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
She is always high energy and encourages her students with EXTREME positivity. The material is difficult because it is Biology, but she changed the format of one of her tests so it the heavy material was split into two tests. She is willing to make changes for her students which I appreciate. Good option to take.

If 'toxic positivity' bothers you, you might not love Dr. McCarthy. Most of my peers claim to love her but personally I find that she speaks to the class like she's teaching kindergarten. Some people find that comforting but to me it felt degrading. I didn't pay for most of the online materials and my 'trial' lasted to the end of the semester. Mid

Dr. McCarthy is an amazing professor and really cares about her students. She is always available outside of class and is great with posting slides on BB. Take a class with her if possible!

Great professor. She is very kind and helpful. My only issue with her is she puts information in tests that she never went over. She treats her students like they understand college bio which can be good or bad depending on your understanding of science. Would 100% take another class from her if I liked science more.

Professor McCarthy is very sweet + cares about her students so much. She is an awesome person, but not the best professor. She moves at a very fast pace and doesn't do a great job teaching material, lots of students fail the exams including myself. The class is very difficult in my opinion due to the large amount of material + little explanation.
