Reviews of professor Louise Kessler

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Kessler is a kind person, however her class was extremely difficult - especially for an intro class. Anything is fair game for the test- so you basically have to memorize the material to get a "good grade" - mind you the average grade was always 60%. Her slides are kind of all over the place and you have to pay attention to what she says.

Dr. Kessler was a great genetics professor and I think she made the subject a lot less scary. There were weekly quizzes, pre-lecture assignments, four exams, discussion, and a group project so she gives a lot of chances for your grade. She is also pretty funny and seems passionate about genetics and teaching.

Professor Kessler was very nice and understanding, and tried to make her lectures fun which was a great experience. However, there is way too much written on each slides and the speed at which she teaches doesnt give you enough time to write down notes and listen to explanations. The exams also feel more difficult than what was learned in class.

Dr. Kessler is awesome. She's a super helpful and caring professor that goes the extra mile if you make the effort to ask for help. Everything is really based on the lectures, her study guides are nice but not usually similar to the tests. My one thing is her tests feel like she's asking tricky questions but she does drop an exam. Best for Bio1001!

Dr. Kessler is a nice lady, but boy are her tests evil. She will try her hardest to trick you on the exams and sadly it works. Her practice exams have nothing to do with the real ones. There is too much hw. The avg for the exams is always so low. Great way to weed people out and make them doubt everything. Doesn't round the grade up by 0.01%.

Her accent is the best and make the class fun. Use her office hours. Study and study more because this class is hard but doable. She is great. Take her.

Dr. Kessler is the best professor you can have for BIOL 1001/1002; however, no matter the professor, an A isnt guaranteed. Exams (and quizzes) are difficult usually class average between a B-C. Participation is required in discussion and lectures through iclicker questions. Group project could drop grade if members dont do well (groups assigned)

Very kind, fun accent. Unit tests r ~80% of the grade. 
Tests r harder (more critical thinking) than Abromovich. Voice is so calming, I had trouble staying awake. I got an A in bio 1001, but tried my hardest and still got a B+ in biol 1002. 
So passionate, she goes on tangents & u don't know if it's relevant to the exams or not. 
Lectures recorded!

Dr. Kessler is amazingly smart. Hard class though. Not like high school. Put in the work and you will do fine. Study and attend her very helpful office hours.
