Comment:
Dr. King is very nice and passionate however does not carry material well to students. For this course I attended every lecture, did all the study guides, made quiz lets for ever quiz and all the notes and still did horrible. Taking the exams I felt confident but obviously I shouldnt have been. Each exam knocked me down and made me feel stupid.

I had to take this normally in-person course online due to social distancing measures, and I think she did as good of a job as anyone. All of the information needed for the tests were covered in the pre-recorded lectures. Quizzes for every unit that can be taken unlimitedly. She was very kind, and I had no issues with the class.

Comment:
She cant teach, her information is all over the place in her notes and study guides. Her tests are hard regardless if you go to class study and look over the study guides. She doesn't care if the class average is low like in the 50-60s on exams she will not curve it and sees no problem with that or her teaching. she was nice person not a good proff

Dr. King is exceptional. For the fully online version of this course she pre-records lectures and uploads PPT notes for you to use along with the lecture videos. The grade is primarily based on quizzes and exams but if you use her study materials and email her any questions on content you are all set! She is so willing to help and cares.

The way she gives lectures is good. She teaches good but her exams are just hard. She makes every answer sound correct , her questions are very wordy that you need to read over and over to get the question. Her FINAL is the worst. Had to retake her class twice.

This is a teacher who gave MORE THAN half OF HER CLASS of more than 100 people a D OR LOWER for a FINAL GRADE and didn't think there was anything wrong with that.

Honestly, she's a good teacher and a good person. Both of those became really clear to me during the semester. If you email her and tell you're sick, she excuses it. If you don't understand something and talk to her, she explains it. She cares about you doing well, and she doesn't have surprises on her tests - you just have to actually try.

Best biology professor on staff! She makes it easy to learn, the notes she posts on BB have to be completed in class which encourages students to come to lectures. Tests are just the online homework q's. She is a little dorky but it helped me remember key concepts!

Dr. King is a very nice professor. This class consists of 4 unit exams (She drops the lowest exam), online quizzes (unlimited attempts), and a final exam . The unit exams are easy as long as you look over the study guides thoroughly. Most of the final exam questions come from the quizzes, sample exams, and unit exams. This class was an easy "A".

Exams are very easy. Final Exam is even easier. Lowest exam is dropped. Study guides are they key to acing the exams. Gives practice exams. She doesn't recommend reading the textbook. Very nice and caring professor.

Comment:
She is very thorough, gives a lot of information, but due to the abundance of information studying for the exams is very intimidating. If you don't go to the lecture you will miss out on the notes, the notes directly correlate to quizzes and without them, you won't do well. She is very passionate about Biology, it was just difficult in the content

Comment:
She can be very overwhelming. You have to go to class to get the notes because she doesnt post them online, but going to class is worth it. She provides a ridiculous amount of online study guides, one per chapter, quizzes and more. I hated it at first but then I realized that all the extra stuff she did is what made me ace the class.

Nice professor but boring lectures. Mandatory to attend lectures since its fill in the blanks and she doesnt post the answers. The quizzes are all online. Lowest exam gets dropped. The quiz dates are confusing sometimes.

Dr. King is a nice lady, I can't deny that and she obviously cares for each and every one of her students. However, she is the only professor I've had where taking notes is more difficult than it should be, and not even saying in class that there is stuff due on Blackboard is a major nuisance and pretty much killed my ability to give a crap.

She is very nice but her exams are very difficult. Her lecture notes and study guides are really confusing and the way she words her questions! You need to go to lecture to get the notes. I wouldn't take this class again.

Great professor, very detailed in lecture and provides awesome PPTs. The set up of the class is, the notes are half completed on Blackboard, you have to come to class to finish the notes 100%. Online quizzes, can be taken over and over again. Professor provides old exams, online notes and online quizzes. 10/10 would recommend

Comment:
If you attend each class and fill in the outlined powerpoints THAT SHE GIVES THE ANSWERS TO, the class is a breeze. Of course you yourself need to review but she is very clear with the info she shares and also offers very helpful mnemonic devices. I cannot emphasize how important coming to class is, CLASS IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE EXAM GIVEN.
