If you don't mind the strict (excessive?) attendance policy, Dr. Brazeal is a GREAT life121 professor. She does a great job teaching the material with clear lectures, slides, and readings. She wants her students to succeed. The weekly homework genuinely helps with preparing for exams. Four big DLC exams, no projects! Offers some extra credit.

The lectures do get boring and it feels like it takes forever. However she provides so many things to help you succeed. I am doing better in her class than I have done in previous biology classes. The exams are decently easy as long as you study. My biggest advice is take time to study and take advantage of the things she gives you to help you.

lots of homework and very lecture heavy. the homework questions are fairly similar to the exam questions, so as long as you do well on the homework you should do well on the exams. if you are struggling, office hours are really helpful!

Absolutely amazing professor. I don't understand the smear campaign on here. She provides great lecture slides for each class, has all lectures recorded for review, has very thorough explanations with class problems and course content. She has reading tips for each section. Exams aren't difficult and practice exams always provided. She cares a lot!

I was kinda scared to take her when I looked at RMP before the semester, but she's totally fine. Lectures are a bit dry but everything for exams is on the slideshow/LQ/homework/practice tests. Didn't use the book for my last two exams and still got As. Not perfect, but definitely not bad. Only thing I hate are the in-class worksheets.

Dr. Brazeal's lectures aren't very interesting but she does have all of the information you'll be tested over in her slides. Her tests are harder than Hiatt's and she sets a lot of them over weekends, which is annoying. Lots of people complain about homework and pre-class assignments, but I think if you try on them it does make the class easier.

Kati Brazeal is smart and sets you up for success. If ya'll would just LISTEN TO HER you would pass the class just fine. She literally collects data to show you what the top students do to be good. It's really not that hard.

Class structure is not the best and there are way too many assignments to do.
