Reviews of professor Joann Chartrand

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
She is the worst teacher I've had, exams were the bulk of the grade and we were never given any idea what would be on them. I usually am a A/B student and this class made getting a C seem like a struggle... she read right off power points and hardly knew the info herself. terrible!!

She never seems to know the answers to questions. Class was in person but then got moved online. She will not lecture but posts 70 slide PowerPoints to go over each week. I am typically an A student but I know I will not be receiving that this semester which is frustrating.

She is one of those teachers that will say a word for word what's on the powerpoint. The notes are just a huge packet with fill in the blanks. When she gives real-life examples they're mostly about her diet, plants, or someone she knows. I would not recommend taking her class if you're someone that can't learn from straight hard facts.

Be ready to teach yourself. 4 chapter tests on entire book and final. Quizzes weekly. Make sure you check if answers are correct on all quizzes and tests. Practically begged for help was told to watch utube. Hardly Ever answered questions in lecture. Always told she would get back to us. I wasted 1k and 15 wks in this class.

In the very beginning she stated that this would be her first semester teaching microbiology. When asked questions during lecture she never really knew a concrete answer to them and states I will have to do some more research on that and never follow up after that. The bulk of your final grade will rely heavily on exams. Extra credit didnt help.

Extra credit is available several times in the semester. You will have one formal lab report to write and a journal project. You will have five exams that involve multiple choice and short answers, quizzes in lecture, and quizzes in lab. You will be amazed at her vast knowledge and passion. She is absolutely brilliant, challenging, and organized.

Well, what i've learned throughout this class was typically something that essentially could uh, like, teach me how to essentially pronounce words typically-incorrectly, or essentially use the same words repetitively- typically between facts that will potentially be on tests, so i essentially can't understand.15 BCRs per test..typically
