Reviews of professor Vanessa Dodge

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Tests are all based on lectures. Nothing new or surprising is ever on the test. She is very nice and answers questions.

I took Prof. Dodge's virtual summer course, and overall, as long as I paid attention during lectures and took notes, a good grade wasn't be hard to obtain! Communicating outside of class is easy; students can attend office hours or email her (replies to emails quickly) Textbooks were not required; all content on exams are included in lectures.

Biology isn't my forte, but I found her lectures extremely interesting to listen to. Class discussions were very interetsing as well. Her tests can be pretty difficult so make sure to study up!

Professor Dodges class was pretty nice and not too hard. Exams were based on the lectures and slides heavily.

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Pretty interesting class, lectures were kind of boring but doable. We had open notes quizzes but regular tests. Online transition wasn't too bad but made the lectures even more boring. It seems that online teaching isn't for everyone and the in-class lectures were far better. Tests are a little hard but she does post study guides which help a lot.

Solid biology professor. I liked her online teaching course overall not too difficult. Highly recommended.

Prof. Dodge was a pretty good teacher, her in-person lectures were much better than online lectures. She was very accommodating with making up a lab. Tests were pretty hard, but theres not really any homework. If you study for the tests and do the discussions you'll do good.

Her tests are hard so make sure you take good notes. Explains things well in lab and is very helpful. Very accommodating about schedules and printing the labs.

Professor Dodge is an amazing instructor. Her class organization & grading is clear & concise. Show up for lab, watch the lectures prior, and reach out if you have any issues. If you do all the previously stated, you're sure to succeed. She is also accommodating if you need to miss a lab. Highly recommend for anyone needing a GE Bio course!
