Reviews of professor Louise Kessler

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Kessler is an excellent professor. Pay attention to the lectures and determine study strategies ASAP. Exams were lecture based, so prioritize the slides over her study guide because sometimes the study guide is nothing like the exam. She is a very good-hearted person who makes herself available, once stayed 30 minutes past office hours to help!

Dr. Kessler was a really good professor. She does expect you to put in the work, but she is definitely reasonable and will go out of her way to help students. You do have to read the textbook and study for exams, but she will do her best to provide good tips. She tries to keep things interesting, but is upfront about what is required of you.

Kessler's slides were well organized and clearly outlined important info that'll show up on exams. However, she does wait to write exams until the week you're about to take them so preparing can be tricky. Tutoring outside of class definitely helped due to the heavy info that she speeds by in lecture, wish she had opportunities for extra credit.

I absolutely love Dr. Kessler! She makes lecture super fun and is very knowledgeable. The tests are hard and the weekly work kind of sucks but she explains everything really well.

A lot of homework in this class. The textbook homework & they are hours long to do. Also tests are nothing like the exam review she gives you. She tricks you and makes it a lot harder. After the exam a few days later when she's done grading she always posts the class average and for every test very few people score above a 90%. Had her 2 semesters.

Dr. Kessler's a great bio prof. Her lectures are very detailed, so pay attention, take notes, and you'll be good! She's always there to help you, but her exams are hard so definitely seek outside help. Not an insanely hard class as long as you study.

Dr. Kessler is great! She's really smart and super approachable. Genetics is a tough course, but she makes the material very doable. Four exams with one drop, weekly quizzes, and a group project at the end of the semester. I liked her a lot and felt like I got a lot out of the course.
