Reviews of professor Crystal Schalmo

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Crystal was a great teacher, & you can tell that she really cares about her students and wants them to do well. The tests can be done as groups, she was always very flexible and accessible outside of class, and is very easy to talk to about any concerns. You don't really need to buy the textbook, but I definitely recommend that you study for tests

Ms. Schalmo is a hidden gem in Cuyamaca. Yes, the tests are heavy, but make sure to go over the study guides. Plus, she's an easy grader. Very approachable and cares more about student learning than grades.

took her bio-122 class and really enjoyed it. She was very kind and helped us out a lot. We had field trips to the zoo and mission trails which were really cool and if you couldn't make it then there would be an alternate assignment. 10/10 prof

Professor crystal schalmo is the best Bio teacher I ever took. I really recommend her! She makes 3 exams in the whole semester and the finals exam is optional if you have a 80% and above u dont need to take it. Her exams are good, just study the Studie guide and you will get an easy A. She cares a lot about students! I wish she would teach all cla

You want her for Bio 130 and 131. If you don't understand she will help. She is always available, and she loves biology ( I don't ). I had her during Spring 2020 when we had to switch online and she was a trooper along with the entire class. She made sure we remained successful in her class. This college is Lucky to have such a gem teaching there.

I marked the class as hard, because I worked hard to get my A and it was not "easy" to me. However Crystal was there for me and tutored me, gave me amazing tips to study was very clear on what to study for, allowed groups of 5 for all exams- and successfully got Covid Spring 2020 semester completed. You don't want any other teacher for bio than her

Crystal is an amazing professor and I recommend her to anyone who takes Bio-130. She explains everything in detail, gives loads of support and has study guides that are directly related to the text. The tests are group tests and if you get above a 90% in the class by the final, the final is optional.
