Reviews of professor Julia McGuire

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This class was essentially useless. She assigns hours of reading and videos nightly, only to never review them in lecture. The lab for this class was unusually slow-paced, and we spent the whole semester on one research paper. Julia is lovely, but I would not recommend taking this class if you want to be prepared for BIO 200.

I understand why everyone has given her such low reviews but she isn't that awful. Shes a good person, but the course itself is flawed. There are readings assigned before class and you just don't have to do them to pass the class. Most stuff is graded on completion but I'm glad they added a graded writing to persuade you to actually learn.

she was alright, lectures were very very boring and majority of the time I didn't even go but still passed with an A. worth it for a basic 100 level class but just super boring and I didn't use any of the concepts in higher level classes. she's a really nice and passionate about these topics but I just didn't vibe with it

I can't believe I paid to take this class. I should have paid my tuition to Khan Academy and the textbook instead since she did not teach a SINGLE THING the entire semester. Wildly disorganized, boring, and she genuinely expects you to teach yourself and "ask if you have any questions". The lab is similarly useless.
