Comment:
Mrs. Westhoven is a very unique person to say the least. If you need a biology class, take environmental biology. When you go to lab, all you need to do is copy what she has on the board and you get an A. She is very easy to listen to, and the tests are quick and easy as well. Overall, she is a great teacher to get you through your gen eds.

Comment:
This professor is very clear & laid back. She offers many extra credit opportunities. Attendance is mandatory, she will take points off for missing labs/lectures. Lectures are boring, but this class is an easy A. The tests are always 50 multiple choice questions & not all of the questions are directly from lectures; it helps to read the textbook.

She puts all notes online along with study guides. If you just go to the labs and follow along, you're guaranteed 100% on each one. Lets you use a notecard for exams and will do review sessions. Attendance is strict and she's a little weird but the class is overall pretty easy, even if you hate science like I do.

You have to go to the labs but not the lectures. She's crazy weird ha for real but sometimes she's pretty funny whether it's laughing at or with her. Her class is sooo boring though, it's so hard to stay awake! omg. But overall the class is okay.

Must have changed it up a little because I do not find her tests easy. They are NOT on-line. Have to pratically memorize everything cuz you won't know what is going to be on the test. Nice and cheery professor.

While the lectures and labs tend to drag, and she has a little bit of an odd sense of humor, she's not too bad of a professor. Class is super easy, I skip lecture all the time or just don't pay attention, and still had a 97% midterm. Tests online, so pretty much are open book. Quite accommodating as long as you give her the heads up.

Easiest A ever!!! She gets really annoying though. And her jokes are dull at best, but it is a very easy class with little homework.

The class is easy but she's not a good professor. She makes annoying comments everyday and sometimes gets confused on the material she's lecturing. If you can tolerate her, take her.

Easy class, single handedly brings up my GPA. Westhoven is crazy and makes for a laugh every class. Be a smart ass to her and she will love you. Just make sure you go to class on thursdays cuz she usually has quizzes, but sit in the front and you can read the quiz while she is teaching. Tests are all online and you always get out of lab early.

This class was pretty easy. The only bad thing is having it 4 times a week. Westhoven is pretty much insane, but in a good way. She makes class very "interesting". She eats chalk and loves to talk about sex...?

Easy class, make sure you go to class everyday because she offers a lot of extra credit. Tests are difficult to study for. Recommend taking her.

Easiest class I've ever taken. She reuses past semesters tests, so get some from people who've taken the class before you and just memorize it. No actual book required for class either (just quick notes). She offers lots of extra-credit too.
