Reviews of professor Megan Lahti

I took this course online and Mrs. Lahti made us take tests in person and on campus which was kind of annoying since this was an online course.

There are 4 exams and every week there was a LNR homework and quiz. Dr. Lahti's lectures are long and monotonous, interesting at times. Her exams are hard. I used the lecture videos, power points, and textbook as a study guide for the exams. Dr. Lahti's class is difficult and requires A LOT of time to be dedicated toward studying the material.

If you watched the lectures and learned the material, the exams were fair. Marine bio is challenging by nature so I wasn't surprised at the rigor of the course, but it is more technical than a course for non-majors should be. If you don't have a clear idea of real-life marine bio it will be hard and disappoint. Quizlet is your bff for assessments.

DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS! Her class is very lecture and exam heavy with long lectures every week between 2-4 hours long. Those lecture videos are useless because most of what she says isn't on the exam! There are homeworks and quizzes but those also have nothing to do with the exams.

These are her averages on exams: 
A = 7
B = 6 
C = 10
D = 5
F = 21

She only gives two days to take the exam (Monday/Tuesday) and is very unforgiving about deadlines. It was very uncomfortable listening to her complain about students' medical crises during past labs she taught to us. Excessive homework with material that does not match up well with the 5 exams. Maybe she'd be better off teaching to lizards.

Harsh about deadlines and very unsympathetic at times. Does not seem to understand the college's disability policy and does not offer alternate assignments or makeups. Clearly very passionate about her field but her strict policies make it seem rather unpleasant. The exams do not match the lecture material well.

this online class was the only thing that worked for me, her lectures are so long - doesn't even cover topics corresponding to the exam. emailed her a few times and ghosted me all times. 5 exams over the sem, all proctored-doesn't allow proctor u for some of us that need it. overall boring. save ur time n money take with someone else.

Over the fall course she had over 200 students and still gives out at least 7 assignments a week. Study guides never reflect on the test be include very hard questions. Very test heavy and will not help or respond to emails. She spoke down to students and made her learning at her level. (phD) more in person stuff to accomplish than online.
