Comment:

She is a great teacher and I really enjoyed in class listening to her accent. However the exams were extremely hard. I had taken two times of BSC 105 already which I had As and Bs on it. I had to drop it because of my own issue not the grade. This makes it more obvious that her exams are more difficult than the other two professors I had.

I enjoyed Professor Locascio's class. Her accent makes it that much easier to listen when she talks. Class attendance is not mandatory and she posts all of her lectures online so her material is very accessible! She also really cares about her students and wants us to pass.

I love Dr. LoCascio as a person & as an adviser in the Honors College, but I did not enjoy her as a prof. I don't feel like I learned anything in her class, which was frustrating. It seemed like she let students take advantage of her & dictate the structure of our class, which was uncomfortable. Get to know her by other means, don't take her class.

Comment:

Dr. LoCascio is, by far, the best professor at Marshall. I had the privilege of having her for multiple classes, and each class was truly informative and stimulating. She is very knowledgeable in a broad spectrum of studies, not limited to biology. In addition, she cares about students, and does not simply prescribe a generic course of study.

Dr. LoCascio is my favorite professor. I've had her for 2 classes so far, and I rearranged my schedule this semester just so I could take her class. She's an excellent lecturer-- the British accent is a major plus-- and the classes are quite interesting. Read the book, and you'll do fine. Good luck on getting into her class- they fill up fast!

Dr. LoCascio is a GREAT prof.! She really loves teaching; I'm so thankful I got her my freshman year when it was her last to teach 120. She's been such a great help, and has advised me more than my academic adviser. If you have a chance to take ANY class taught be this gem, TAKE IT!! Especially worth scheduling for if you need the class anyway!!

Comment:

She is a tough teacher! Make sure you read ALL the chapters thoroughly because she asks a lot of questions from the book that she rarely goes over in class. Her lectures are very vague and she is not detail oriented in her powerpoints at all. You must be able to fend for yourself in this class. Be prepared for many all nighters.

She is friendly but her class is extremely diffcult to understand if you do not have a stable understanding of bio. her LAs hold sessions that are helpful to understand certain processes. She posts slideshows and covers them during class do not expect to pass by just reading those. you need to go to class.

Comment:

Dr. LoCascio is a great person for sure, and her lectures very entertaining. However, her exams are pretty rough and require you to study the book more than her actual lecture notes. If you study the book, you will be fine. However, don't skip class as she occasionally tests on those random tangents she loves to go on.

Some people say that her tests are difficult. I didn't think that they were. However, if you are having trouble, she is very helpful and nice. She also keeps the class entertained by going off on tangents occasionally.

Great Professor I'd recommend her to anybody, she's very funny and you dont even really need to go to class to get an A. Studying the book is a definite must but at least that way you know exactly what you should lear. All her lectures are available on-line which is nice, study the book hard you should do well, all those who dont like her dont work

Take this woman! No official assignments except test. The test are a little on the hard side but manageable. Fall asleep in class and you can still get a B. State awake for an A. Teacher is funny and engages the class very well. Goes off on funny tangents you can keep her on for the whole class (random stuff like squirrels)!

Very funny, knowledgable professor. I would not recommend her though. I felt the class was rushed, 3 to 4 chapters a week. I didn't have time to really learn the information. I had a friend in the same class, different teacher, and they were always 7 or 8 chapters behind us. Her tests are very hard!

She is a pretty good teacher, her true or false questions are really hard, but overall she is pretty easy. She is very helpful if you don't understand something.

She's so nice and helpful, and she has the coolest accent. She also tells funny stories that relate to biology, which keeps you interested. Her tests were kind of hard, but she grades extremely fair, because if you tell her why you chose an answer and she likes your reasoning, she will give you credit.
