Reviews of professor Geralyn Caplan

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Caplan's class is not easy, but it shouldn't be easy if you're going into medicine. She is a tough grader (watch your handwriting...) but her class is informative. Keep up with your studying and homework and you will be okay. No late work is accepted for any reason and make sure you do the extra credit when offered.

I took BIO 137&139 online. The lecture portion was very easy. Yes, there were a lot of assignments (including a bi-weekly discussion board). But none of them were too difficult. Since the class was online, I used my book for times when I really struggled during assignments. Tests and quizzes are not proctored and this makes it less stressful. (pt1)

There was a lab assignment due each week. The labs would be labeling pictures, virtual simulation labs (very easy and you get 100% for completion), or a few short answer questions. There were also lab quizzes that were 10 easy questions. Each lab covered about 1-2 chapters that were required to read for the lecture portion of the class. (Pt 3)

Do not take her if you dont have too. She does not give good lectures. She is all over the place. Study guide provided is just a overview of the chapters. Only one open lab day before practicals. Does not review or go over missed test questions.

 Assignments are open for 2 weeks at a time and are only due at the end of the second week (except for lab assignments which were due every Sunday). Each bi-week for the lecture portion, there were about 4-6 chapters to read, a pre and post quiz, a discussion board, and an exam. (pt 2)

It is mandatory to join a Facebook group with her and past students for information regarding labs. She would bash all unvaccinated students on there and when reprimanded by superiors wouldnt stop. Made so many students feel uncomfortable and said she hopes they lose their jobs because they werent vaccinated and had lives on our hands.

Absolutely horrible professor. Strict on "legibility" but when she puts comments on your paper you can't even read her handwriting. Lecture and lab material does not line up which makes the class confusing. All over the place when it comes to notes, does not follow the book. Does not give any lab time to look over microscopes or bones so buy your o
