Reviews of professor Kati Brazeal

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
homework quizzes every week are similar to exam questions. Take good notes and utilize office hours. Teaching style isn't for me, but she tries her best to explain things if you need extra help.

I have no idea why these rates are so bad! I think Dr.Brazeal is so understanding and helpful! Yes, her lecture is pretty boring, but all you need to do is show up!! Attendance is huge, and do the homework quizzes and pre-class, and you will pass regardless of the exams! She is so easy to access out of class and will go above and beyond to help!

She is the worst professor I have had so far. She treats us like middle schoolers and takes attendance 2 separate ways every day, including paper/pencil worksheets that do not get looked at. This class has over 1000 points in it, and attendance is a vast majority of it. Lectures are so boring, unhelpful and a waste of time. DO NOT TAKE HER

Brazeal requires way too much work for an intro level bio class. Specifically in the photosynthesis and cellular respiration unit, she does an awful job at explaining things. Even when I went to her office hours I would often leave more confused then I was when I walked in. Also coming from someone who took chemistry first she is wrong.

I recommend not taking this class with Brazeal. Her lectures are mandatory and they are extremely hard to focus in because she is a boring lecturer. Her exams are much harder than what we learn in class and you only get one attempt at the DLC. The homework is pretty time consuming every week too.

Avoid at all costs. You'll still fail the exams after studying for days :(

Awful. Tests are scheduled on the same weeks as chem exams, only available Friday-Monday, so you have to take it over the weekend. Homework and tests are almost identical, but lectures are too simplified for the questions on hw/test. Does not read course evals or change anything about the course and does not know why some topics are in HER slides.

Attendance tracked two different ways as if this is high school and we aren't adults. Explained concepts the same way with the same images over and over as if it would make more sense the ninth time. Easy class, but not because of her. Simply reads off of the slides. Schedules her exams poorly in relation to other department exams.

very boring lectures, and the lectures do not help for the test. There is practice exams available but those do not help you suceed om the exams. Exams are much different then the practice exams.

The course design is poor.  Pre-class quizzes, homework quizzes, and exams do not seem to have been proofread for obvious grammatical and syntax errors at all. Some questions are undecipherable. Access to the rubric is unavailable while writing short answers. The graphs are nearly impossible to understand. Time management during lectures is poor.
