Reviews of professor Lauren Brooks

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Lauren is amazing! She's very passionate about biology (especially conservation and microbiology), so her lectures are always interesting. She really cares about her students and is ready to help you out when you need it. There is a fair amount of reading to do to prepare for each class, but it's not too bad. Overall, this class was a lot of fun.

This is my fourth year and my first rating. She is the absolute best professor I have had. Incredibly easy and fun debates. Thank you for a wonderful semester.

The Professor is fantastic! She is so passionate about her subject. I have sometimes struggled in science classes in the past, but I really enjoyed hers. She relates the concepts of biology to real-world examples that are relevant and interesting, and she encourages us to do our own research. She's awesome!

Dr. Brooks is a phenomenal professor! I was really worried about taking microbiology since it can be a hard course. She made it very understandable and was always accessible when I had questions. Open note quizzes and exams (need to understand material though or you won't pass). If you meet with her you'll do well. Would take again!

Professor Brooks understands students. She wants you to succeed and sets you up to do so with great lectures and readings that cover the course material. Her tests are not to difficult and if she makes a mistake on any assignment she will help students out.

Dr. Brooks is one of the best professors I have ever had. I took her micro class and did research with her as well. She is very knowledgeable and easy to get along with. She is very friendly with her students and it makes working with her that much more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend taking her micro class, she does a great job teaching it

Nearly every lecture and assignment have multiple errors. The worst part is she takes time to say she'll correct them, then never does. Yawns repeatedly in lecture and mostly just reads her slides. Don't they teach us that this is unprofessional? Micromanaged course- you have to complete each assignment then refresh Canvas before you can move on.

Individual exams are open note open book worth 70% of total exam score, and then 30% is with a group in class. Assignments are super easy if you do the reading (online open source textbook). No attendance BUT she has quizzes every day in class that can only be done if you are there in person or on the livestream.
