Reviews of professor Amanda Shadle

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
The lecture isn't very informative. Reads directly from the slides and refuses to physically break down problems and equations. I will request a new professor if this is the one that has been assigned to you. Exams are not based on the material she focused on the most.  Delayed on providing important information.

She's a nice enough professor, but she isn't a good teacher, at all. Her lectures consist of entirely reading off of slides that you purchase with the textbook. She skipped over 4 labs, had us google the answers and slides, and proceeded to put those labs on the lab test that we cannot answer properly, because we did not do the labs.

Professor Shadle's Bio class was a challenge but pushed me to succeed. Her exams are notoriously tough, requiring thorough understanding but you will be prepared for pre-professional exams. While she has room for improvement in class organization she offered a very generous curve at the end which was very welcome Would take again.

Genuinely the worst professor I've ever had. No teaching strategy, just straight reading off PowerPoint slides made by Pearson. Did nothing during lab and just told us to take photos of models. Skipped several labs and put them on the lab finals. Is Dismissive. Get ready to teach yourself everything for the lecture AND lab.

Exams are heavily weighted but she gives a generous curve. Lectures are just reading off of a power point so you just have to teach yourself. Do the dynamic study modules to help solidify your knowledge of the material but don't depend on them. Try to read the power points before class so you can follow the lecture better. Utilize online resources.

Taking this class online would have been easier than taking it In person because it would have been the same thing. She reads off of 100+ PowerPoint slides word for word made by a third party. You are your own teacher with her.

I had her for Chemistry not Biology. She's a nice woman but unfortunately doesn't know how to teach whatsoever. Reads directly off of slides and that's it. Not nearly enough hands on application of the material which is crucial for chemistry. Drop her if you have the chance, you will be teaching yourself.

Gets all her slide shows from 3rd party sources and reads 100+ slide presentations word for word. That is all the class consists of. Homework is incredibly intense and tests are between 50-100 questions. Lecture, homework, quizzes, and exams are all somehow unrelated. Forgets which class is which an announces dates that don't pertain to our class.
