Reviews of professor Stephanie Spielman

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Spielman is the best prof in the bio department, hands down. I took her for two classes and learned so much in both of them. For data science do the hw early and shes willing to give you help if you need it before its due!! Amazing person who truly cares about the well-being of her students. Wish every prof was like her!!

She is an amazing teacher. Shes really caring, encouraging , gives great feedback and will explain it until you get it. She can be a tough grader but if you follow the directions you will do fine. Go to office hours!! It will help a lot or you can go just to chat with her about anything. I would 100% take her again.

Dr Spielman is truly an amazing professor. She knows her material very well. She takes attendance and cell phones very seriously. Lectures can drag sometimes. Accessible in and out of class, she will work with you as long as you show effort. Definitely recommend taking her class.

i had prof spielman for intro to evolution and overall she is a great teacher. she is smart and will help you with everything BUT attendance is mandatory. she will actually take off points if you miss class. also you cant use your phone at all or she will mark you absent. however, education wise she is a good teacher & knows what shes talking about

As long as you are in class and pay attention, it's an easy A. Her few homework assignments were pretty easy and she is always available to ask questions! Sometimes the lectures can be long, but she tries to break it up with different activities. She posts sideshows online for studying, but the best way to study is to redo previous hw questions.

i took spielman for intro to evolution and i would never take her again. attendance is mandatory. she takes points of your final grade if you miss class. doesn't explain material clearly. forces you to buy textbook even though you dont need it at all. the only good thing i liked about her was because of her office hours

Professor Spielman is clearly passionate about the topics she teaches and her lectures are very well prepared. Her accessibility outside of class and willingness to help made her one of my favorite professors.
