Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Great professor. Class was mediate level. Not too hard. Not many assignments. Enough time given with each. 80% of tests are open note; 20% is closed. Extra credit opportunities. Understanding.

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Approachable but inconsistent. Study sessions are EC but questions do not match. No study guide was given.Textbook study modules will not help with exams. Exams are open note, but there is a part two to the exam that is closed note that was not disclosed. There is a research paper and in class ppt presentation. Slow to respond and post grades.

This class is very lecture heavy and requires lots of studying time just as any other science course, however Professor Banko made it enjoyable and interesting to learn. 4 total tests (80% open note 20% closed) She is not a tough grader- she wants you to succeed. Overall, I would definitely take this class again- she was awesome! Take this class!!

Professor Banko, Jessica makes sure you read( pre-lab and lectures) prior to class. If you read, do the online pre-labs (20 min max each) You should be more than fine. Definitely listen to her when it comes to printing her power points and taking notes on the side. Get ready for lots of work! But easy B+ to A if you are organized.

She is so passionate about what she teaches and makes lectures fun. The class is lecture heavy. If you take notes and pay attention you will pass. She points out everything important you will need to remember for tests. Many extra credit opportunities. She allows for an open note portion of each test. She makes it an enjoyable and easy class.

Dr. Banko is a nice lady but she does expect you to know a lot of information when coming into her class. She does lecture a lot and it is very easy to get lost during so. Tests are open note but very hard as well as a close note part that is even harder. It is easy to pass with a B or higher due to project at the end.

If you have never taken a bio class this will not be easy for you. She designed the lessons to include as much necessary info as possible and as long as you studied and finished all your assignments you'd pass. Keep in mind that she does things by the book so she could be a tad unaccommodating but gave good feedback on assignments.
