Reviews of professor Marie Westover

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Westover is caring person and intelligent person, but not a gifted teacher. Her lecture presentations are consistently unprepared and she sometimes seems unsure of herself, her topic, and her technological and organizational abilities. She does quickly respond to email inquiries and helps you sort through the frequent misunderstandings.

Professor Westover made a lot of things click, and she was very informative all throughout the course. She presents the materials in a way that makes sense and includes a lot of visuals for people like myself who need them. If you need to take biology to brush up (like me) and/or as pre-req, I would definitely try to take it with her if you can!

Professor Westover is the the absolute best! She made the content so easy to understand. Four exams, not cumulative, and she hands out study guides that specifically tell you what will be on the exam. She is very helpful during labs as well. Make sure to keep up with the assignments of class. Overall, favorite science professor by far.

Prof. Westover was great in class. Once the pandemic hit and we were sent to work from home, she never did any zoom lectures. We were forced to learn from another professor which was a bummer because SHE was great. Low key, passionate, cared about her students. Don't take her online.

She definitely cares about her students and is amazing. Lectures are PowerPoints which she uploads before class. Quizzes once a week and four tests for the whole semester. Two lab exams as well which one is a presentation. Textbook is not needed. As long as you study her PowerPoints, you are fine. I would take her class again if I needed to.

She is so awesome. She is very enthusiastic about her lessons. I lost a family member during her class and she did everything she could to help me pass her class. 10/10 would take her again if I could

Marie is enthusiastic about her topic (physiology) and clearly has a passion for anything science. She cares about her students and wants them to succeed. She's open to feedback and improvement. Her expectations are clear, but not impossible. Not big on extra credit (but she did offer a EC quesitons at the end of the unit tests). HIghly recommended
