Reviews of professor Nicole Hansmeier

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Nicole's lectures were very fun to listen to! Her assignments are relatively easy but the tests are a bit harder. They cover lecture topics but questions may be worded in difficult ways to understand. Lecture notes are always posted on the website. Before every class, she recaps the last lesson. Be warned, there is a lot of material.

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
She is clearly knowledgeable and passionate about this subject. But her accent makes it nearly impossible to understand any of the course material that she talks about. She jumps around a lot which makes it even more difficult to follow when she teaches. The tests are hard and most of the questions are things she doesn't even talk about. Very hard.

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She was very kind when we had questions in class, yet her tests are all timed. Our midterm was 30 questions in 30 minutes. Be prepared to study lots to do well on tests.

Professor Hansmeier is a good choice for biology. The assignments weren't difficult to do. They were timed though. The lectures weren't exciting to listen to, and sometimes it was hard to pay attention. She does post the lectures notes after though. So if you miss anything you don't have to panic. One should still show up though, to ask questions.

She is really passionate in what she teaches. She posts the slides in urcourses if you miss a class. She is clear and makes sure everybody understands what she's teaching. She's also very caring and is open to questions if there is something a student was interested in or didn't understand.
