Reviews of professor Brianna Reed

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Bri is nice and responds to emails quickly. She grades the main assignments very particularly which is frustrating. These major assignments are group projects. She ran out of time at the end of the semester and graded the remaining assignments for completion. Flower microbiome is a relatively easy lab but it is a lot of out of class busy work.

bri is nice and super accessible outside of class. her grading  IS HARSH but if you meet with her to go over it beforehand it's helpful. her harsh grading on the hw slideshows makes it very easy to compile the final presentation, which is nice. sometimes it felt like there was a lot of busy work (ex: journal club) but that may be the standard idk

Bio lab is not hard, unless you take it with Bri. I like her a lot as a person, but as an instructor, very unorganized. LOTS of group work, if you have a shitty group good luck. Lab is ALWAYS rushed, leaves you with SO much HW. Very tough and slow grader, but runs out of time so mostly graded on completion. But she is accessible outside of class.

I think your experience depends MAJORLY on the quality of your group. If your group is literate and does the work not last minute, you will get very few points off. I think Bri is a nice instructor who genuinely wants you to succeed. She doesn't grade until the last minute though, so it's hard to know if what you're doing is what she wants or not.

Bri is an extremely tough grader which is very unwarranted considering it is a 1 credit lab. No matter how thorough you are she always finds the tiniest things to take points off for you will never receive full credit even though she says half the assignments are completion, but that is a lie. stay away there are better lab instructors.

Being a Monday lab, we were her test subjects. The workload was heavy, with hours of homework every week on top of our other coursework. However, her office hours were immensely beneficial, showing her dedication to our success. While her grading was strict, it eventually helped us grasp the material better. Overall, she's a good professor.

Bri is such a great lab instructor and just an overall great, caring human being. She's a tough grader, but makes her expectations extremely clear and gives detailed feedback. She's also more than willing to help you in office hours and shes super accomodating if you have to miss lab for a legitimate reason.

She cares a lot about this lab but is also very disorganised. Some of the policies are out of her control since she doesn't decide how the labs work, but her feedback and grading were always so harsh. No matter how many hours I put in I would do poorly, even after revisions. That being said, she is very available and actually very nice to talk to.
