This class is extremely frustrating for an online class.

I had to drop this class. The professor is short and rude when we ask questions. She can be moody and discouraging. She yelled a lot during lab and treated us like we were children. The professor is impatient and will not budge if you want to discuss other possible answers on tests. She definitely had her favorites and treated them better.

Professor Erwin was great. However, she's very picky when it comes to discussions. I would usually write a couple sentences or paragraph when responding to classmates. She would still take points off for it not being detailed enough. We're also not allowed to use notes on quizzes or tests, which are timed. Overall, she had a good attitude.

Mrs Erwin is a great instructor and takes her job very seriously. Fair grading ratio, interesting lectures, and helpful labs. I really enjoyed this course! Totally possible to get a good grade IF you do exactly what she tells you! Use the review objectives and tests are a breeze! Be prepared to study and memorize.

She gives SO much work for a non-science major Biology class. Sometimes you will have 3 quizzes in a week, plus the normal work for the week - discussion board, homework, and sometimes an assignment. Sometimes she will stack 2 chapters into one week. She uses Lock Down Browser and you cannot use notes on quizzes or tests (which are timed).

Every week expect at least 1 quiz and a textbook assignment. On top of this is typically at least 1 other quiz (but sometimes 2), a discussion board (where you must reply to students on different days), and/or an assignment.

Tests are done in a lockdown browser and you cannot use notes. She is quick to respond to any questions you have via email.

Lectures can be overwhelming, but she will provide a study guide for every exam in order for you to be prepared. 4 Lecture exams, and a final exam. 2 Lab exams, very easy! She also provides a study guide. As long as you study you will receive and A. Many extra credit opportunities! Lots of timed quizzes! She's very engaging and loves Micro!

I would not recommend it if you are taking other classes and working. weekly lecture and lab quizzes. never exactly sure what to study for lab quizzes. reviews help for the tests. this class is like having an extra part-time job.

She's great but for this course being an online non biology major she gives tons of homework. No papers but you have a quiz every week, discussion or worksheet on top of activities in your e-book. Some weeks she doubles up on the chapters. You cannot use notes on tests either. Beware if you're a full-time worker and have a other classes.
