Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Not helpful at all.

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She's a great teacher and gives you lots of materials to be prepared. No cumulative final which is awesome and the labs aren't too difficult. Also very understanding if you have to miss class for any reason.

Dr. Mikenas is actually very kind and knows that we have a lot on our plates as students so she makes her class one that you don't have to strain over. She promotes a collaborative teaching style which is helpful and is very easy to get a hold of when you need help!

She rarely responds to emails, and if she does it'll be a week later when the email is irrelevant. The way she phrases questions on tests, quizzes, and homework is confusing (many students think so too). She seems like a nice person, but I wouldn't recommend her for BIO201.

Dr. Mikenas has been a great professor, she encourages a lot of group work instead of talking at her students in a lecture manner, they're much more engaging. If you show up to class prepared to put in the effort, do the labs and try on exams, there is no way to fail this class.

The class is super easy all topics that are taught are mostly concept based. If you pay attention & get the main points its almost impossible to fail this class. There is extra credit opportunities. Lots of group work & participation does matter but the work itself is easy she gives plenty of time to finish. She is very passionate about the subject

Dr. Mikenas is a caring and respectable professor, however, how she goes about teaching classes is awful. She expects Grad-rated work for Under-grad assignments. It is frustrating based on how much work she assigns and how quickly it must be done but then how little points can be received from it. Be wary if you have to take her.
