Comment:
I would avoid her class, find anyone else! I got an A but I had to challenge her because she made a mistake and refused to fix it, she just started giving me full credit on other assignments. She literally took a class during ours and actually said she was too busy to provide more assistance. They need to audit her classes and force her to retire.

DONT TAKE HER! The rudest teacher I have ever come in contact with! She waited until the VERY LAST DAY to grade everything and sent me the rudest messages once I asked if there was anything I could do. Sheesh. All you had to do was say yes or no. She shouldn't be able to teach the way she talked to me. Never again will I take this person's class.

Comment:
There is no extra credit I did everything on the last paper and answered all of her questions and she gave me a really bad grade. She said she would post a rubic in which there was not. She is not clear with her words on exactly what to do. She is such a picky grader anyone it would be a different stor I WOULD NEVER EVER EVER TAKE HER CLASS AGAIN.

She does not care if you have a job or a family. She once told someone "I don't care do it". She clearly struggles with online teaching. I've emailed her multiple times with different questions and she always responds as if I was an idiot. Summer was 4 test 100 pts each, one project 100pts, 20 regular assignments 10 pts each. No EC DO NOT DO IT!

Please, for your own sanity, do not take this professor. She grades the homework not on effort but answers. Also, on tests, she uses wording that was never used in the book so it's confusing. She doesn't post updates or let you see correct test answers if you miss any. She doesn't update grades. Avoid. She's hard to pass and rude to students.

Taking Professor Nette over the summer and my God is her lab miserable. If you miss even a couple answers she grades you down. Very bland Professor with boring lectures in Bio 130 as well. No excitement in her voice what so ever. Monotone. Even working hard, if you have one spelling error shell mark you down. I wouldnt do again. Ever. Avoid!

Worst teacher ever! She is unnecessarily rude & does not respect others. She makes it hard to ask her questions because if you say something wrong she will YELL at you! You dont learn anything in lectures because she stands at the board & talks about a picture for hours instead of writing notes on the board. AVOID her even if youre a good student

Over the summer, very knowledgable in her field. But, can be condescending and her lectures are extremely bland. Exams werent to hard/bad, some questions just worded awkwardly. Worst thing was the group project (make a board and present ). She also lost my 1st quiz and didnt find out till last day, and tried to tell me I didnt take it, good luck xD

Please, do yourself a favor & AVOID NETTE! I read all of the reviews & thought it's ok, I'm a good student & I'll do good, but she is just ridiculous! Such a hard, picky grader. She's also so behind. Did not take our second test until AFTER spring break and there is 6 total (including final). Somehow, we have 4 more tests in 5 weeks. Avoid her!!!!

I'm not going to write a review of her because I think all the negative comments describe her class very well. The class is a joke. I just wanted to share with everyone that the positive comments sound very much like her, the same words that she uses. Just letting you all know.

Comment:
Very unorganized and unclear, Her labs are impossible; She gives you 3 lab reports that are about 10 pages each; she is a picky and unfair grader grader when it comes to lab reports. Also, she gives no rubric on the last one, so you don't know what to put on there. She'll talk for hours about the lab reports, yet doesn't seem to explain anything

Comment:
She came to class late EVERYDAY. We would have 10page lab reports due the same day as our exams. She fell so far behind that we had Two tests on our final. The whole entire class basically failed or dropped out towards the end. She is so picky on grading. She will say "be more specific" then tell you "it was too specific" after you fix it.

Unorganized, late to class, and unprofessional. She fell so behind that we had to take two exams for a final with a lab report due the same day. Questions on the exams are phrased weird and she'll expect the more broad answer versus the more correct (specific) answer. She's also a picky grader so one synonym out of place will cost you points.

Test aren't that hard, but the labs are extremely hard. By the end of her class you'll know how to write a proper lab report and will be prepared to transfer. Expects A LOT out of her students and expects you to put in your full effort. Very hard to get an A, but passing is very doable.

Dr. Nette is an awesome person! I am taking her right now, everyone had told me scary things about her, but you know what? if you study and care to do the work you're assigned then you should be fine! I am planning to get an A in this class, all you need is a good plan and passion. Good luck if you're with taking the class with me this semester!!

THIS IS A VERY HEAVY CLASS!! Lectures were mainly where test questions were from, but don't expect any PPTs to be given. Go to the STEM center for help and ask questions! She is a hard grader, but if you ask questions, she'll help you understand for future assignments. Don't expect to learn everything in the lectures, I suggest reading ahead.

I worked my butt off and got a B+ in the course. She prepared me for the level of difficulty at my University. Advice: Read before class, she provides amazing study guides. She expects you to be able to UNDERSTAND and EXPLAIN the material. Take the lab seriously, work hard she will respect you. Don't be afraid to ask questions. She cares!

By far the toughest class I have ever taken. Dr. Nette will grade you without holding anything back, so try your best with the lab reports and study hard for exams. Make sure you pay attention when she explains the labs because it seems it's one of her pet peeves when you make a mistake in lab. READ THE BOOK!!!! It's more helpful than the lectures.

One of the worst professors I've ever had. Favors students & is not a fair person. She makes you feel stupid when you ask her questions even though she's SUPPOSED to be there to help you. Took another micro prof after her and he's so much better than how she taught. Don't take this class! Her helper Sam is also rude & favors the pretty girls..
