Reviews of professor Elizabeth McCarthy

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I took this class online and I may say that I am very good at biology, but it is much harder to do biology and bio lab online. The professor is very kind, but needs to be more understanding with the amount of work and lectures she gives. Overall, it is a good and fun class, but to take in person.

Dr. McCarthy emphasises how available and sympathetic she is towards her students but she is a very harsh grader who does not give many opportunities to get your grade up. Even after she held review sessions before an exam I was always left confused. If you dedicate all of your time to this class you'll be fine but it's very easy to do poorly.

McCarthy is SO SO SO sweet and understanding. She is always willing to help out whoever needs help. Bio is a very rigorous course and she did her best teaching it and making sure everyone understands. She is great with answering questions and being there for any of her students. Love her.

Does not care about a students grades. Says shes always there for students but when you go to her to improve grades and extra credit shell smile at you while saying she wont help you at all. No extra credit. No assignments to bring exam averages up. Terrible teacher just reads of the slides and doesnt even know what shes talking about.

Dr. McCarthy would be a better professor if she wasn't so focused on just reading off of PowerPoints. if you ask her a question she knows how to answer it one way and one way only which defeats the purpose of answering a students question. she's a very sweet and caring person but as a professor I would not recommend.

she mightve been a good professor in a normal year but when it comes to the tests there nothing from the review sheet. the class average for the tests were in the 60s and she was okay with that? if youre a bio major then great if you are not beware she teachers this class as if everyone is going to be a biologist.

Professor McCarthy was very helpful my first semester of college. Super personable and approachable, she will go out of her way to make sure you are aware of upcoming work and grades. Lots of homework and tests but that's normal for a biology class.

Good evening lovely bio folks! Get ready because this is what you will hear all the time. Professor McCarthy loves to claim she is there for students however, she grades with no care for the student in mind. The tests and few assignments are relatively easy but she will grade your written answers so nit picky that it will bring you down to a 70.

Plants and People was an easy class given I've already taken introductory bio courses, she is a very sweet and caring person. We used this app that we had to pay for (attendance). Her tests were based on the power points she lectures and posts online. There's also a mixture of history within this class. We had to read a book and write a paper too.
