Reviews of professor Mardelle Atkins

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She is really good. Lectures are a tad boring but she tries her best. She goes above and beyond for her students. You are going to work for your grade so if you are lazy then don't take her but other than that, amazing professor.

She is very nice and understanding and will help you out if you need it, but she also gets very flustered and confused in her own lectures. I think she is just shy. Her first test was really easy, but then after that you really need to study to get good scores.

I was scared to take this class as I figured genetics would be really difficult, Atkins made it as smooth and easy as possible in my opinion. She provides "learning objectives" before the exams, know those concepts and youre golden, lots of completion grade assignments, and chances to get over a 100 on each exam. I urge you to take her for genetics

Material is presented in a confusing way. PowerPoints are not set up to where you can go back and study them. Honestly, painfully boring lectures. Syllabus said the most points you could get were 500 and at the end of the semester she changed it to 525, changing grades a whole letter grade. DO NOT RECOMMEND

Dr. Atkins was one of my favorite professors this year. BIOL 2440 was a hard class, but she clearly knows her stuff. Her lectures welcomed any questions I had. Online homework requires a textbook. Overall study well and try your best and you'll get the grade you deserve. Also, a GREAT person to go talk to.
