Reviews of professor Katherine Ford

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I recommend taking Bio 100 with professor Ford. Attendance is not mandatory but she will do random lecture assignments. She does not post notes online, but she gives you plenty of time to write them down. Exams are easy, if you can answer all objectives for each chapter that she will post as a study guide on d2l, you will get an A on the exam.

Objectives were very clear and class had reasonable difficulty for a 100 level general class. Communication between lectures and lab time was nice too, made the work load less stressful. Five hours of class time per week but lectures were interesting and labs tend to go fast. Would not recommend buying the textbook, I used class copy for labs.

Loved taking this course with Professor Ford! Lectures were entertaining, lots of group work in the labs and very quiz heavy. Participation does matter since you need the labs to pass.

Prof Kate taught the lab portion of BIOL100 and she was very precise and knew what she was talking about. She is easy to get along with and easy to relate to especially when she teaches. She gives pointers for tests and what to study. Although lab quizzes or sorta tough (only 5 questions) be sure to study for them.

She is funny which makes the lectures go by fast, but she also makes sure everyone has enough time to get all of the notes down. When deadlines are set, make sure to meet them because she doesn't really go beyond a set date. Make sure to show up for tests too, it is policy that professors do not have to let you take it if you are not there on time.

I started taking this class this semester and have been failing the whole time because I got no points on a major grade, since I was 3 minutes late. I actually did the assignment and still have it. The lab practical was ridiculous as well. We were told not to study things that ended up being on the test, and as a result I failed that too.

I had Katie for the lecture part of BIO 100. She was a great professor and knew what she was talking about. Her lectures are all power points and easy to follow. She gave real life examples which made it easier to remember things. She also gave out study guides for the lecture exams, which showed exactly what would be on the exam. Highly recommend!

Ford is the lab professor for BIOL100, she is very entertaining and for a 3-hour lab she makes it much easier to stay engaged and she's very energized. The grade you get is the grade you deserve from taking with her, she grades fair and the homework is very easy and does not take a lot of time.
