This professor is the worst i've ever had!!! NEVER TAKE HER!!! She did not make biology fun, interesting, or comprehensible to learn!!!

She is a great professor if you have a passion for Biology or are pretty confident in your science abilities. However, if you are just taking this class for a GE, probably find a different professor. She expects biology to be our #1 priority and teaches in a way that most of what we learned and was on the tests went way over our heads.

She is EXTREMELY intelligent, but she does not test entry level courses very well. She can explain things in a good manner, but her tests are often confusing and difficult. The questions might make complete sense to her, but for those of us just getting our feet wet, it feels like she is trying to trick you. Don't take her entry level courses.

Strongly disliked this professor. As a student that asks questions to check my understanding, Dr. Malone makes students feel dumb for asking questions, by rebuking them or justifying why they should already know the question. I would for sure take this class from another professional if you are only in it for the general credit.

By far one of the more difficult classes I've had.  Dr. Stephen can come across "in your face" and rude but when I talked to her in person about my grades and concerns, she was very warm and caring.  She knew I was trying my best and she was able to help me throughout the semester.

A difficult professor but she is extremely passionate about what she teaches and if you need extra help, she is more than willing to let you come to her office as much as you need. She truely does want you to succeed but she does expect you to put in the work to show you have sufficient knowledge of the course. Great Professor who will help you.

She is really nice, but her class is quite difficult, especially for an intro class. She definitely walks that thin line between challenging her students and working against them. Be willing to put in the extra effort if you wish to do well in this class.

Has a bad habit of making students feel stupid for asking questions, either by being sarcastic, patronizing, or by not answering at all. Her tests are poorly worded with grammatical errors and misspelled words, sure to trip up any average student. Nothing but powerpoint lectures, full of material straight from the book. Class can be very boring.

Dr. Stephen is one of the best professors. Is her class hard? Yes. Does she expect you to come to class prepared? Yes. Will she help you if you ask? Absolutely! Visit her during office hours and pick her brain about the topic. Don't go just looking for answers, she won't give them, but will help you understand the concept which is critical on exams
