Reviews of professor Julie Merkle

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
absolutely love Dr. Merkle. i was in her 119H class last spring and she was amazing. yes you need to do the online homework and reverse lecture system, but with the videos you can always rewatch them and put it in 2x speed if needed. they are a blessing disguised as a curse! you will love Dr. Merkle if you put effort into her class.

Dr. Merkle is an EXCELLENT professor. She cares about each student she meets and her lectures are very engaging. My only complaint is the pre-class quizzes and videos, but other than that, I really enjoyed her class. :)

Dr. Merkle was awesome! She is very clear in her grading and is always available. She has a flipped classroom setting where you have to watch videos before you go to class. Her tests are short answer so you have to know your stuff, but the actual content isn't too bad.

Dr. Merkle is the kind of person who cares that her students are learning. You will learn a ton and have a great time doing it. She is always accessible outside of class and will work with you until you get it. The kind of prof I wish I had for all of my classes. Will be taking Genetics with her which lessens my anxiety about the class. 10/10 prof.

Was very helpful with comments, and was always there for encouragement.

She is a nice woman, yes, but the CONSTANT video assignments along with a two hour class two times a week makes no sense. Spending time watching 3 lecture videos, just to watch her lecture for two hours in class is ridiculous. Her feedback is often harsh and mildly aggressive. She is nice in person, but her written feedback often comes off rude.

Biological Perspectives of Sex and Gender was a brand new class and Dr. Merkle knocked it out of the park. She's a sunshine of a human being. She is always respectful and caring and kind, and her class reflected that. There were no exams and 1 big project for this class, and we got to pick just about anything on either sex or gender for it.
