Reviews of professor Alexandra Pettit

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The professor has a specific approach, but engaging with it pays off. Attend lectures, read the free textbook, and use resources like Unstuck study to prep - great way to earn a solid grade.

Shes super nice and tries to be engaging but The midterms and exam have nothing to do with the course content dont even bother reading it. Tests have the most random questions you will ever see. No matter how hard you try this class will ruin your gpa. Avoid her at all costs.

probably one of the worst classes I've ever taken. She teaches us one thing and her exams are a million times harder. Might as well not have learned anything from her at all.

I'm not going to repeat what everyone is saying about her tests/final because it's true what they're saying. She tried everything else to lower our stress except for those tests. Good lectures, flexibility, many evaluation categories, etc. However, it's extremely frustrating as students not being heard by the prof about possible improvements.

The final exam really messed up my grade in the course. I truly wish midterms + exam were just done on bright space since it made everything much harder.

The worst prof ever. Avoid her if you want a good grade.

Fantastic person and prof, genuinely cares about her students. Lots of assignments/methods of evaluation, but you can easily get an A+ in class if you just cover all the content. Take-home exams were looong but she provides you with all the info and practice to ace them. Also had her for BIO1140 (thought she was ok) & loved her much more in BIO3170

Lectures are heavy but she's really great at explaining concepts, and she really cares about her students' success. She is always available to answer questions.

I am in 4th year now and I took this class with her when I was in 1st year. I thought she was very good and the class was a very easy A! I recommend her :)

I took this class last winter. It was pretty easy, to be honest.

She's a VERY hard marker and doesn't have any understanding towards missing a deadline - even by seconds. Exams are not based on her slideshows so you really need to read the extra material. You need to spend HOURS on this course to get a good mark, posts a ton of material per topic and exams take 8+ hrs. I would avoid taking her class if possible.

Avoid her at all costs. This course will reck your GPA. Material on the midterms and finals barely reflects what was taught in class. Not to mention the exams are marked incredibly tough. Lab, topic quizzes and assignments are the only reason I did okay. Paid $700 for her to put links to Amoeba sisters to eat up lecture time. Just don't take it!!
