Reviews of professor Becky Olsen-Grady

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
For an entry level class, there is a ridiculous amount of work each week. Chapters of reading, a discussion and quiz every week, along with 2 exams and a research paper. Not worth the work! She is organized but expects to much for a 100 level class.

Becky is super nice and has a clear class outline. She offers lecture videos and optional study work with keys. The class had an easy pace and fun labs. I would take again, I recommend her!

Wonderful instructor, gives you all the information you need to succeed. There is a lot of work for this class, lots of lectures but I put them on 1.5 speed while taking notes. Very interesting and applicable to life. Overall enjoyed the class.

Don't get me wrong, good professor. But the workload is insane. So many readings and assignments. Like a lot! I took this class because it was meant for non-science majors. At some points, it felt like this was not the case. You best believe I was ready to type this up to give others the heads-up.

Dr. Olsen-Grady is a fair teacher with great knowledge and you can tell she really cares about her students understanding the material and succeeding in her class. Watch Panopto videos in addition to lectures. Ask questions, shes very approachable. Short answer questions on exams require a meaningful understanding of the material.. so study!

If you're considering Biology 211 with Dr. O, this is your sign to enroll. She is the most caring teacher I have ever had. It's a challenging class, but she equips you with everything you need to thrive. Embrace asking questions and utilize office hours if you're struggling; Dr. O has a passion for teaching and is a truly gifted instructor.
