Reviews of professor Lisa Warden

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I don't think Ecology was that hard, it was just a lot of busy work. The HW itself was not difficult, just very tedious. If you are good at analyzing data/graphs and know the key terms, you should do fine on exams. IMHO she was not awful, she just often rushed through lectures and gave a LOT of HW - a lot of self-teaching, too.

6 tests and a final, all 50 points. There are many papers/small quizzes to boost your grade. I don't agree with everyone saying she's difficult. She was a pretty good professor who makes you work for your grade. However, she's unclear on grading, goes over notes very quickly, doesn't give EC, and not accessible outside of class. .

I would not recommend her, I've done more assignments in her class than my entire time at Rowan. Her tests are vague and aren't even close to what she "goes over in class." There is no set schedule and her inexperience and lack of empathy for her students really shows.

This professor is unnecessarily difficult, she makes you do a lot of work that doesn't help with the course itself. There were also a bunch of exams for this class, if you do even a little badly on one of them it's really difficult to get your grade back up. Overall I would not recommend taking this class.

Dr. Warden has a lot to learn. She is so smart but she either treats us as if we are high schoolers or grad students. So many pointless busy work for 1 or 2 points each. the class feels like a waste of time . This class and the professor needs and overhaul bc its just not efficient. Class should be an easy A or B but she makes it a hard C

Professor Warden for a first year professor was as expected. She had her ups and downs but regardless, she was still a good professor. The grading policies were not the best but I believe that is a department matter instead. She clearly cares about her students and if you have a solid biology foundation, this class will be fine for you.

Not one of the best professors I have ever had. You will get 50+ classwork/homework assignments that are only worth ONE point. She does not clearly state nor explain what to expect on exams & will take points off if 'key words' are absent. Be prepared to teach yourself.

Professor Warden is an amazing person but a below average professor. Her class is seemingly easy at the beginning of the semester but gets increasingly difficult as time passes. She crams information into the exams and they are also not graded very well. She also gives an overwhelming amount of classwork that does not always address the lecture.

Wouldn't suggest taking her. Her teaching style isn't necessarily good or bad but her class tends to be very assignment heavy. The assignments tend to be very time consuming and definitely not worth the points awarded. This makes the class more involved than Organic chem, just not worth the effort!
