Reviews of professor Rebecca Hazen

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Hazen is an incredible professor. I took her class to fulfill a gen-ed, but her passion for science made me love the class. She is always available to offer help and make sure that you thrive in the class. Professor gives several extra credit opportunities and other chances to achieve a high grade. Any student would be lucky to have her!

Dr. Hazen was always caring and open to answer any questions. We are still in contact today and just wants to see her students succeed. I absolutely recommend taking her as you will learn much about your subject, but you will also be given some leniency in executing its responsibilities. As long as you communicate, you will have no problems.

Dr. Hazen is so sweet and knows that most of her students are not hardcore STEM students. She works to make the content accessible and works to make labs engaging and understandable. Def don't take if you aren't a fan of science because it is a legit class. If you communicate about extensions and needing to miss class/Zoom she's understanding.

Weirdest Bio Class. The work itself isn't hard; it's the amount and sheer foolishness of most of it. Instead of just routine exams and labs, it's a mish-mosh of odd projects, so many random assignments for the lab period and lecture combined, and these quizzes every class to mark attendance. It's not your standard biology class.

I had Dr. Hazen for Bio-210 lecture and overall, the experience was good. The tests are very free-response heavy but the homework are easy and the lab makes up 40% of the total grade. The lectures were fairly engaging but she talked fast and sometimes was hard to follow. She posts all slideshows though, and it's easy to study based on those.

This was a perfectly fine course and the prof was very nice. She tries to make biology accessible, which can make it come across as a bit immature. You can retake the problem sets, but so need to attend to get the password for attendance quizzes.

(This class was for CBRS) She is kinda disorganized and the hw she assigned felt very tedious. She's nice and supportive, but she needs to work on engaging with her students. I think this was her first time teaching a CBRS class, so at least she can only go up from here. This is a very slight class, it's just annoying how much time it takes up.
