If you want to pass, NEVER take her.

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
She does not accept late work, no make ups. She gets sidetracked fast. She expects everyone to know everything she teaches. She gives 5 question quizzes at the beginning on every lecture based on the last lecture or lab. She does not respect others responsibilities or priorities outside of class when it comes to attendance.

Got distracted super easily and got of topic a lot. she is passionate about science but not about teaching. worded the labs weirdly and got confused with her own slides. drops people if they miss 2 labs. doesn't care for your problems affecting attendance.

Dr. Sparacio is disorganized and wanders way off-topic in lectures. Her lectures consist of reading off her slides, providing little extra or useful information for success in this class. Attendance is mandatory as there is a 5 point quiz during the first 5 minutes of EVERY SINGLE lecture, which can be missed if you're even a second late to class.

The Professor doesn't give you credit for attending class, but will dock points or drop you for not attending. The information is rushed through and you are expected to know it automatically or you'll fail.  Labs are rushed and not properly explained but you are heavily graded. Do not take this class if you have other classes. I do not recommend.

I wouldnt take her again, too much stress for me. She is nice but kind of annoying and she fear mongers. You have to read the textbook and actually study for her class. She doesnt accept late work at all. Grades are determined by points up to 1000. Id recommend taking this class online if you can because the amount of stress is unnecessary.

As long as you do the work and come to lectures you will do well. She cares about her students and is passionate about science.

Hardest Professor out of all of the other Professors at Contra Costa College. Take any other Biology Teacher.

There is no homework in her class, but there are 5 multiple-choice questions before the lecture and lab but the answer will not be given until the last few weeks of the semester. There is a lot to write in the lab reports, which are due at the end of the lab. And she didn't provide us any study guide, instead telling us to read the book and slides.
