Reviews of professor Cori Anderson

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Anderson really cares about her students! She's a tough grader and you need to study to learn the material, but she always checked up on us and gave extra credit as needed.

Cori Anderson's Bio 181 class was the worst experience of my life. She will try to help you, which is excellent, but once she has explained whatever it may be that you do not understand a second time if you do not understand it, she will begin to get frustrated and will not be much help at all. She is however willing to work around your schedule.

I really enjoyed having Professor Anderson for BIOL181. While her lectures are fast-paced, I thought it made sense and she did a good job answering questions. The two main exams are a bit difficult because they're only 40 points, but she gave extra credit if you got below 85%. She is very nice and clearly wants you to succeed.

Professor Anderson is organized, clear, and concise throughout her lectures. She cuts the material down into the essential parts and simplifies it enough that it is easy to understand but not too much where you are not learning what you need to know. I really appreciate how she writes summaries and study questions at the end of her PowerPoints.

Professor Anderson is a great option for MBB/BIOL 181. She is incredibly caring and so helpful in office hours. Though her lectures sometimes felt too jam-packed/rushed and her grading can be really tough, she provides ample resources and opportunities for you to succeed. Tests are straightforward, but definitely require studying!

Fantastic professor, one of the best I've had at Wes. She moves quickly as 181 covers a lot, but she is more than willing to clarify and/or meet outside of class for more thorough explanations. She explains things very clearly and repeats important bits of info/themes. All she does at Wes is teach and it shows, she is great at it!

She reads off the powerpoint slides, so you pretty much get nothing that you wouldn't get just reading off the slides yourself. Unnecessary level of detail - she goes through so much that she doesn't have time to properly explain (although she's no good at explaining difficult concepts anyway). Would be a good course if a high quality prof taught.

Prof. Anderson is awesome! She cares really deeply about her students and has a very clear and understandable lecturing style. The homework assignments are fair and very helpful, and the tests are challenging but not to the point of being absurdly difficult. She is always willing to help and is very accessible outside of class.

Prof Anderson gives off high school teacher energy, but she really cares about her students (even in huge lectures) and tries to make topics digestible AND thorough. The class isn't hard but it does require studying and there is weekly homework. Prof is available for drop-in office hours.
