Reviews of professor Kate Beishline

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
She is a wonderful professor and you can tell that she is very passionate. But she covers way to much material in 50 mins. The test are open-ended. She didn't care that half the class failed the first exam. I feel like she thinks this 200 level course is a 400 level course. Get ready to memorize useless information.

Super sweet and knowledgeable- all tests are open ended, matching, and true/false. She sometimes assigned projects that were due the day of exams because she thought they would help, but they really took away from studying for them. Mastering Bio assignments almost every week (10 total), but drops the lowest 5. Highly recommend.

Beishline is a terrible lab professor. She does not go over any of the notes in our lab notebook therefore making it very difficult to complete the post lab assignments. She also gives you very limited material to study for the exams. She is also way too difficult with grading.

Sweet person but not the best teacher. Dr. Beishline speaks fast, moves on fast. and tends to write sloppily too (or the marker on powerpoint is just too large). 5 exams, 2 lab exams. The hardest science I have taken yet; not interesting or easy. Memorizing pathways and enzymes/proteins is half the class.

This class is honestly terrifying and the prof doesnt make it any better. I had an illness during the semester and she honestly didnt even try to be accommodating. Seemed as though it was an inconvenience to her. She talks 700 mph and expects you to have outside knowledge coming in. The class is just really hard and all tests are open ended.

One of the best professors at the university. Always knows how to explain the material and is always available if you have questions. The course is challenging but she is always there to help. Would highly recommend!!!

Lets be honest cell bio isnt the most fun class in the entire world, however she tries to make it as upbeat as possible. Shes sweet but she isnt going to have mercy on you if you dont know the material. Her tests are all open ended so multiple choice cant save you. It requires a lot of work and time.

She does not care much about her students. This is more of a job to her than a passion. She ignores students when they ask her questions. She does not truly understand the material she teaches. She can not usually answer a question when asked one, and instead responds in a demeaning way.
