Reviews of professor Jessie Ebie

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Ebie is a very sweet professor, and structures her lessons to try and appeal to different learning types. She has good slides, with many examples and diagrams, and she posts her lesson videos on Canvas. I benefited a lot from her participation questions, because they weren't graded (so no pressure) but allowed us to work through the topic in groups

Professor Ebie was great in my opinion. She truly looks out for her students and is extremely reasonable with grading. The clicker questions are a bit of a pain, but manageable. If you took AP Biology, this class will be very easy. It is extremely similar. The actual lectures are not too informative, but clicker questions make you attend.

The only reason I gave her a 2 instead of a 1 is because compared to the other bio teachers, she was the best option. She is one of those teachers who tests on textbook material rather than lecture material. the only reason I did good was bc of the curve every test from everyone failing. She is a nice person, but you will be teaching yourself.

Dr. Ebie is super nice and a great teacher, the coursework can be challenging but she does a great job. She is very accomodating and has a 24 hour grace period for homework. Tests can be difficult but lowest one is dropped and she offers loads of extra credit. Due to extra credit, I was able to get an A+ with low B test scores.

Dr. Ebie is a great professor! Her lectures are pretty easy to follow along and she is also very accomodating with her office hours. The material can be pretty challenging anyways, but is overall manageable compared to other bio classes. Don't fall behind and you should be fine

The only nice thing I have to say about Ebie is that she is a nice person, as a professor she is terrible. Her lectures do not help with the tests, the tests often look completely different than her lectures and they are way harder than they need to be. She gives examples of biological things instead of actually explaining them, not a great teacher

BIO194 is a pilot class, and will say it is interesting for anybody who is considering research. Dr. Ebie certainly put a lot of thought and work into creating this class, which is commendable.

Jessie is kind, but lectures do not do much in terms of explaining the material. Definitely do the readings and go to TA office hours. Lots of clicker questions. and worksheets must be done completely for any credit. Exams are concept-based, but retakes and plenty of extra credit are offered.

The material that we need to know for each exam is clear in the study guides. Practice exams have 2 attempts. There's a retake for all 3 exams and the final is the exam 3 retake. There are clicker questions sometimes for participation and sometimes accuracy. An easy A-if you pay attention during lectures, read cogbooks, do the extra credit!
