Reviews of professor Jessica Ebie

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
None of the BIO282 or 281 teachers are exceptional, Ebie is pretty good. She has a good attitude, if you took AP bio or IB bio you'll pass without trying very hard. Overall this was a pretty easygoing class. I wouldn't pay for the CogBooks but they make you go to class because of clicker points.

I took Dr. Ebie for BIO 181 and I think she did a great job teaching this class. It was clear what would be on exams and she offered lots of extra credit. She would also curve the exams a lot, so it was somewhat easy to do well.

Although attendance isn't documented, there are clicker questions every class & you will lose points if you aren't there. I liked this professor very much however I think that her lectures are not very helpful for preparing for what will be on exams. I found myself studying from the textbook more than my notes b/c of this. The exams are difficult.

Doesn't teach in class. Makwa you learn everything on your own. The worst bio class I've had so far. Avoid if possible. You can't study for the test. There is no way she let's you get better with the material. Prepare to do a lot on your own. This is a "why pay to take the class if they're going to make you learn it all yourself" professor.

She is a nice person, but I wouldn't say she's fantastic at explaining things, she likes the class to have student participation but sometimes its just nice to hear it from the professor. Helpful during office hours. Doesn't really recognize when students are struggling, but there are a lot of opportunities to help your grade. Tests are hard.

Probably one of my favorite college professors. She provides a fun, interactive lecture with videos/group discussion etc. My only recommendations for this class is to attend lecture(she does clicker questions everyday) and make sure you have an understanding of the material because the tests are concept based and not ones you can really study for.

I don't understand the bad reviews. This teacher is so sweet and cares for her students, and her class is an easy A. The exams are sometimes difficult, but they are just like the practice exams. I did an honor's contract with her as well, and she and her TA were helpful and lenient. Exams are online.

The lectures were okay, a little bit long and the labs were not at all what I thought biology labs should be like. They were VR focused which was not really my thing. The class exam averages were mid 60's through 70's, which is a pretty bad average to have repetitively. Few homework assignments which made the exams really important for you grade
