Reviews of professor Vanessa Koeling

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
None of her study guides help for the test. She expects us to know everything about biology before even taking this class. She doesn't answer questions. Didn't even seem to care that the whole class was failing. She won't go over any of her lectures she posted online in class. Overall, I would not take or recommend her class.

Other than the weekly quizzes, be prepared to study long and hard for her exams. I started out well but on the second exam I made a low C and other classmates were looking at Fs. So beware!!!

Hard class. Only 3 tests and most people do poorly on all of them so she has to make up for it and give extra credit. By the end of the semester I gave up and I was happy about my C. Journals and quizzes every week. Cares about biology but expects you to know so much about biology before she teaches you.

By far one of the hardest introduction class ever! basically the whole class is just about failing im barely passing with a low C rn. Studying is really tuff because it so much material.

PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS! If you want to pass take another professor.

Take this class when work load is not heavy. You will have homework and lab assignments due every week at 5 pm. She is a tough grader but is willing to help and is always available during office hours. This class was fully online due to the pandemic, but this made the class VERY difficult. It is durable but tough. Test include alot of open ended

This class is incredibly hard I cant even believe it is an introductory class. The journals and quizzes are alright but the tests are incredibly difficult, and even when I studied so much in advance I still got a low C. By the end of the semester I have literally given up because even if I study it doesnt matter. I dont recommend this class.

Even though her class is not that hard I still wouldn't recommend anyone to take her. If you are taking the class to make a B or higher take another professor. Difficult to understand because the class is base off of power point.

Please do not take this class. Just received exam two back today and before she passed them out she said no one did good. I study but whatever you study does barely shows up on the test. The only thing I can get a good grade on is journals.

Dr. K is stubborn and will not properly answer questions. She's accused our class of plagiarism several times and would not see there's a problem when the whole class is failing classes/assignments. This class is taught with the expectation that every student is highly knowledgeable about genetics, and is taught as more than an introductory class.
