Reviews of professor Marina Cholanian

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
She is the most sweetest teacher and is very caring for all her students. I had BIO156 with her and her lectures were long and heavy but labs were enjoyable. If you miss class you miss labs and there is no make ups so going to class really does matter for her course. Her study guides for tests are hard but you just got to grind through it.

She was by far the greatest bio instructor ive ever had, I was honestly surprised to read some negative reviews but everyone has different learning styles. she was very upfront from the beginning mentioning the course might be a little tough but I honestly thought it was easy, her lectures break down the material and you can tell she really cares

It doesn't matter how hard you try its hard. She is depending on a website to teach us, the lectures do not help sometimes confuse me even more. 5 exams, the quizzes are hard and a online dissection are hard. When asks questions she interrupts you and gets mad cause she explained it already and honestly makes me feel stupid. Chose another teacher

I absolutely loved this class. It was super easy as long as you did the online assignment before going to class and studied the assignment you did the class before youll pass all your quizzes no problem all answers are what you do on assignments and what you hear in lectures, the test are easy and simple only 25 questions and final is optional!

I loved Cholanian! I was a little overwhelmed in the beginning but once I got the hang of the schedule of how we do things in the class, I loved going to her class! Shes so funny and such a good teacher! I totally recommend her class to people who will go to class!!

Attendance is mandatory, you cant make up labs. Theres a little extra credit, but you have to work for an A. The tests are basically whats on the mastering assignments so youll do well if you study them. Labs are due at the end of class so a few times it can be hard to complete. Its hard to ask her questions, sometimes she wont answer them.

I think she is a wonderful teacher! All of the quizzes comes from Mastering , so I would not recommend skipping homework. She gives a lot of opportunities for extra credit too.
