Reviews of professor Jeanel Insalaco

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I liked this professor! I received an A, but I definitely had to work for it. Don't take Insalaco if you aren't prepared to work for your grade. We didn't write any essays, had 4 exams, and had a few in-class assignments. No quizzes. Gives clear feedback and is always ready to answer questions. Study guides are provided for the exams

Very nice and caring professor but pretty hard exams if you don't pay attention well. Gives study guides, but don't correlate well with exams. Grade is based off 4 exams, so not much homework given. Lots of note taking and studying on own time is necessary to do good in this class. She's always open to answer any questions.

           This professor was very good, she was knowledgeable and caring of her students! I am not as science major but I loved this class, would definitely recommend!!

AMAZING PROFESSOR!!! Very knowledgeable. Cares a lot but doesn't put up with those that don't care about their grade. Be prepared to study. I had her class at 8am and  it was still one of my favorite classes. She keeps the class very interesting. I learned a lot from her. I would take her again and again if I could! Highly suggest taking her class.

hardest class I have taken, but ended with an A. You HAVE to read the text book, and listen to the lectures. Started giving reviews because most of the class was failing. Flashcards needed. Test are super hard, few homework assignments (simple but no copying from quizlet, she knows), in class assignments (easy). Super hard, but a good teacher.

She was really sweet and understanding! Her tests are normally open-note, and her homework wasn't horribly difficult. Be prepared to buy your own supplies for labs and to do labs ahead of time!

Prof. Insalaco ran the BIOL 1134 lab section when I took her and personally, I think what really matters like with all labs is the TA you get for the lab. I had a somewhat strict-ish TA, so I didn't really enjoy it, but the work wasn't really that hard, so the class was okay. Just study hard for the exams, and don't put it off till the last minute.

First off, she will NOT put up with students who don't care (most being health-science majors). I took her A&P 1 class and received a B. It was a lot of hardwork considering just getting a B, but this class covers a lot and leads into pretty science intensive careers. If you make office hours and make studying a priority you will be fine.

She posts the exam study guides that you can follow with the PowerPoints. The book is helpful to read but not really necessary. When I skipped class I definitely had to teach myself and catch up, but overall you can study a few days prior to the exam and do practice quizzes on the link she posts. I thought that she was a great professor!
