I LOVE RICKER SO MUCH. She's such a wonderful human being and her lectures are just amazing! You really learn a lot from her class and she explains things so thoroughly. You have to work hard for your grade, but she honestly makes it so easy to get an A (especially if you pay attention)

Dr. Ricker is the absolute greatest professor you could ever have. Tests aren't easy, but she really teaches the information and will ALWAYS make time to explain and tutor. Probably the happiest, nicest, and most encouraging professor you'll ever deal with. Can't say enough great things about her.

Dr. Ricker is great!!!! Yes, her tests were hard but not impossible. She teaches bio at a level my 7th grader could understand which might bore some people, but I loved it! You can't walk out of her class and say you didn't understand things. She held extra study sessions and answered emails promptly. Her personality is great!

very cheery and will always put you in a good mood. goes the extra mile with explaining things to make sure you really understand what was going on. labs weren't that difficult and she was always willing to help and answer any questions you had.

Wow, really polarized ratings! Count me in with the positive column. Yes, the class takes work, but this IS college! Dr. Ricker seems to really enjoy her profession. Not only is she a very knowledgable biologist, she is a GREAT teacher! I highly recommend this class. Just don't expect to skate through.

She is a great teacher and really knows what she is talking about. She really knows how to get the attention of the students and wake them up early in the morning. I definately recommend everyone to take her lecture class!!! He tests are tough but if you know the stuff they are okay.

Exams were MULTIPLE PAGES ie: 14-22 pages. The only Bio professor to give a comprehensive final, the rest do not. Also gives 3 pop quizzes. This class will teach you everything you ever wanted to know about biology and more. Good for a challenge.

Great teacher! Love her! Tests aren't that easy, but she is very helpful. I learned so much in her class. Never takes attendence. I would def. recommend her to anyone. Pop quizzes are really "pop quizzes" she tells you about all but one and you drop the lowest one, so its not that bad. Makes the class really interesting even early in the morning.

She is so nice and one of the cheeriest ppl ever at 8 in the morning. She is always kind and answers questions. She doesn't really take attendence and she doesn't yell at you if you come in a few minutes late to class. She's a sweet lady, but here tests and pop quiz is really hard. Take her class cuz she's a great teacher.

Well let me begin by saying this lady loves sex! If she could keep her mind off it, then maybe she could teach the other stuff you need to know in bio! There are 4 exams and 3 quizes. Always offers bonus questions but good luck getting an A! I got a 95% on her exam and still ended up with a B...

She is okay, I thought she was a good teacher, but she certainly does not give any type of boost. I missed a 3.0 by .7, kind of ticks ya off, ya know... no class participation pts like the others give, just a bumber, but in all fairness, she was interesting and I liked going to class

ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE! Not helpful at all. She pretends to be nice. Her tests are impossible and she is not easy going by any means. If you write her emails she most likely will NOT respond. Dont take her. Shes a horrible teacher and frankly, a b itch
