Reviews of professor Elise Chapman

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I barely squeezed by with an A in this class, despite getting an A+ in Bio 1. Chapman goes on tangents so often, and uses really foul and crude language that makes everyone uncomfortable. TAKE ANYONE BUT HER. She has been on academic probation before, and should not be teaching this course. 0/10, would not recommend.

Cannot miss any class periods because of polleverywhere quizzes and in class activities. Tests are designed for student to get confused and fail.

The powerpoints are mostly insane diagrams and unclear bullet points. She goes slower at the beginning of the unit then crams (usually doesn't finish). Exams are HARD, even when you study. Going to class also didn't help, her long-winded explanations made it worse. Lab also sucked. She's nice when you ask, but was consistently late to office hours.

Deeply condescending and rarely helpful. Lectures are nonsensical, and tests are even worse. Don't bother.

The exams were extremely difficult no matter how much you studied. We flew through the material with barely any time to comprehend what we were studying. I really wanted to like this class, but it definitely wasn't one of my favorites.

People say Chapman is the worst based on their grade. If you want to succeed you have to put time & effort into it. She's not going to hand you an A unless you deserve it. It is a college level course so it requires a college-level work ethic. It's tedious and difficult at times, but you chose your major/field of study so either work for it or fail

Definitely not easy. I think if you put in work youll get a good grade, I passed with an A. If you take her I definitely recommend talking to her in her office hours and stuff like that she really helps you out. Read the free textbook she gives you, that pretty much carried me through the semester. I wouldnt say shes awful.

Dr. Chapman is a very sweet and caring lady, but my goodness the tests are hard to get a good grade on. Thankfully there are a ton of study modules and quizzes so that really helped with my grade, and plus the lab accounts for 25%. Still though, you're better off just reading the text independently, or just taking another prof.

I had her for Bio Lab. Expect quizzes before every class. You work in stations. Hopefully you do well on the lab report because it's really hard to bring the grade up. I wish the actual lab book sections were worth more than just 1 point because it takes like an hour or two to finish them. Not to mention the quizzes being 5 points. Good luck.
