Reviews of professor Julia Hamel

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
One of the best professors I've had at Germanna. If I could take Professor Hamel for all of my science class I absolutely would. The exams look like the practice quizzes with essay questions from the homework. She also gives you a good amount of time to get assignments done and offers multiple extra credit opportunities. Take her class !

If you want an easy A, Id recommend. However if you want to actually learn & take away knowledge from the class, not gonna get it. Memorization is how she teaches. Shes THE slowest grader & she was tardy to class everyday at least 2-3 min. (Something small, but caused her to teach beyond scheduled hours too). Shes nice but its a no from me.

I'm a straight A student. Her online course has been really frustrating though! She's accessible & responsive outside of class, but there's SOOO MUCHHH reading &video lectures to cover. On tests, she's asked really specific questions that aren't on the study guide. My test grades are awful despite HOURS of reading/studying. Expectations convoluted

Professor Hamel is extremely kind and knowledgeable. There is A LOT of work in this class compared to my Bio 101 teacher. Lock down browser is mandatory for every exam which there are 6 total. There are weekly essay questions and quizzes and every other week or so labs. Not a tough grader. Use quizzes to study for exam and the class is easy.

I loved taking this class with Dr.Hamel she is amazing. Exams were lockdown, but the notes and homework cover the exam. She is so caring and loving. Her lectures were amazing

This was one of the best professors I have ever had. Super kind, very accessible, will help you in any way possible, and a pleasure to be around. I loved this class, everyone is more than capable of getting an A. There were many tests, and homework could be annoying at times, but just turn all your stuff in and you will be more than fine!!

The teacher is great at responding but the class was taught was too difficult in an online setting. If you work well in the classroom only, please do not take this class. The video lecture does not even cover the material that is going to be on the exams. And the videos are vague, not too much to correlate to the textbook.

I had a great time in Prof. Hamels class! There is a ton of reading and lecture videos, but she tries to make the information fun. Each week you have essay questions but theyre sooo easy and you can go right through them. Shes very understanding, and she holds zoom meetings where you can play Kahoot for practice and just engage with her!
