I love Dr. Orchard. She was one of my best professors that Ive ever had. Three assignments required for this class but the instructions were pretty clear. Dont hesitate to take this class :)

I absolutely LOVED this class. Personally, I found it really interesting and super informative. Her class structure was consistent and well done, she truly cares about what she's teaching about and the lessons were never too overwhelming. It wasn't too hard and it helps to take notes for the class. Surprisingly good for an intro class. Easy to pass

Dr. Orchard's topics are very interesting to learn but can be difficult to grasp at times. However, she is easy to reach outside of class if you need any help or clarification.

Taking this class for my Microbiology Minor. She is a gem. The fact that she is vulnerable when students ask questions on topics that she is not an expert in makes me feel valid in this course. Quizzes and exams are not too easy but not too hard and should line up well with the lectures. Take her!! :)

Dr. Orchard is a pretty good professor. It was hard to follow along with her schedule at the beginning of the semester but it got easier later on. She does have weekly quizzes that can be confusing but there is a good amount of extra credit so an A is easily attainable.

Professor Orchard is one of the BEST professors I have had thus far at the University of Arizona. This class is extremely organized, all due dates are very clearly stated. The content itself is also extremely interesting, and you can tell she really cares about it. Only one big paper and its broken up into parts. I highly recommend this class!

You have a lot of video to watch that you have to because there are question in each video
You have papers every week but they are not too long and a small discussion post 
3 quizzes every 2 ish weeks 
If you stay on top of it, its not bad at all
She is very nice and gets back to you if you ever have a question

Truly the best professor I've ever had. Doctor Orchard is caring, kind, a genius, and overall, an amazing professor. Class was interesting, exciting, and fun, while it was difficult, it was beyond rewarding. The assignments were not easy by any means, but Doctor Orchard is always there to help you achieve in the course. I highly recommend.

Not sure how she has such great reviews. Her grading was so harsh she asks for way too much and it seems like she doesn't give anyone the scores they deserved. Weekly playposits are a lot. I understand this is upper division but there are other professors who will not grade as harshly. She acts like you are an expert in the field Do not recommend.
