Reviews of professor Rebecca Pearce

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
I took this after Chem 106 and let me just say it was a breeze. The class is very foundational, which at times can be boring. As a professor she is usually very nice, but grades participation assignments which is odd. Like I got a 75 for a participation once lol. If you have a good group the class will go very easily!

I had Dr.Pearce for BIOL 115 Lecture. lectures had participation questions that were graded on correctness, so attendance was mandatory. The lecture was used to explain the requirements for the paper and poster. Overall, she was very great at explaining requirements.

Easy class as most of it is based on the lab portion. She does participation points through questions throughout the lecture, so you must show up. relatively straightforward class as long as you have a good lab group.

The extra lecture period was kinda useless because of the fact that we would review the material again in lab and still not use the full lab time. Pearce is a very kind professor and good at answering questions however.

Her lectures are quite boring, but she includes participation questions, which you need to get correct for full credit. However, this is one of the easiest A's here at Bing. If you have a good group labs should be a breeze as well.

Very average professor. I'd say your TA matters more for this class than your professor, since they do most of the grading.

Didn't really see the point of the lecture portion of class, since much of the learning is done during the lab sections. Pretty nice tho.

dr pearce is very nice and knowledgable, the lecture part of the class is useless but didnt bother me. where issues come in is when you get her as your lab TA. she is a pretty tough grader and feedback is harsh. make sure you do each assignment exactly how she wants it done

If you have her as your lab TA, good luck. She only teaches a few lab sections and I happened to get her. She grades everything like it's supposed to be perfect, and expects us to know everything. Everyone says it's an easy A class but I swear she doesn't want us to pass. Also she doesn't even give good feedback, half of it is super confusing.

her lectures are insanely boring but that's understandable given the content of the class. she does about 2-3 polls every class for attendance which you can do from your dorm. the whole class is just a research paper and poster with a presentation, it was an easy A in my opinion. if you need the lab gen ed credit, definitely take this course
