Reviews of professor Ashley Choate

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Exam "language" is too sophisticated(different than lecture/lab language she used to teach) so it makes it hard to understand what she is actually asking. Many of my classmates studied really hard and did not pass even though they understood the core concepts, The way the exam was worded set them up to FAIL. The highest grade on final exam was a C.

Online course. Even though this was a tough class I really liked this professor and how she taught. Her lectures were easy to listen to. She offers extra credit so take advantage of it. Make sure to do the CYU, that was a big help. Hard grader but honestly it's all up to the student and how much time they put in to study.

choate is a good professor, my issue with her is that the questions on her tests are worded tricky, a multiple choice question should have 3 incorrect answers and a correct one, but she will put 2 correct answers but one is more specific.its a tough course already, i dont think she needs to make it harder by throwing curve-ball questions at you.

Professor Choate was amazing! She was extremely helpful and lectures were very detailed. She was accessible outside of class as needed and was easy to approach. She genuinely cares about her students and their success and will do everything possible to help her students pass. If given the chance to take her for all of my bio classes I would have.

Bio is a hard class period. Exams make up most of the grade! Do all the extra credit she gives its easy and worth it at the end of the semester. The course goes fast so get a head start on week 1 or review the book before time to get a better grasp on concepts and vocabulary. Studying is a must, lecture notes and labs are just the beginning!

Professor Choate will really make you work hard for your grade. She gives you all the materials needed in order to pass the class and the rest is on you. Great professor!

Bio 32 is a very tough class!! Be ready to study.. A LOT! Professor choate is great, and gives so many tools and resources to help you succeed, but you have to be willing to use them. She is always available and very responsive for questions through office hours, email, or discord. There is extra credit throughout the semester. I recommend her 100%

Complete the CYU's she assigns, they're very helpful. Use her IG page to study too. Listen to her reviews, especially the labs. Overall great professor, very understanding & encouraging. She will follow up with you if she notices you are falling behind.

The class itself was A LOT. This Prof was very motivating and genuinely wanted the students to pass. She offers chances for extra credit. She was very accessible outside of class. Very clear on what was expected from students, respectful and very understanding. Hated the class, but this prof made it worth it and motivated me greatly.
