Dr. Betty Lou Smith is a wonderful professor! She is so kind and always willing to help, but the class itself will certainly not be easy. She is not the best with technology, but that is part of what makes her so wholesome. I will miss her words of encouragement during our breakout rooms!

Comment:
If you put 20 minutes in a week to watch the lecture, you will get a high B. I didnt go to class because she only talked about her personal life and not about biology. She is nice, but in lecture she is like one of those nice grandmas who ramble on. Very off topic. Terrible actually. Wish she didnt talk about coffee for 45 minutes, would had A.

Dr. Smith is a very kind professor . This class is harder than a 101 class should be so be prepared for lots of studying. If you work hard you should do okay, but if you miss class and don't do your work there is a chance you will fail. Tests are hard so try to get every point for the online quizzes you'll need them pass the class.

Dr. Smith is a very wonderful person but as a professor she is just average. Lectures are boring, labs are okay depending on who you work with. Tests are harder than she indicates and doesnt prepare you that well. She does let you retake the first 2 tests at the end so thats good...

I had her for both Lab and Lecture and she was great. Lab always has quizzes in class and for homework too. there are mid lecture quizzes but she makes it easy. if you show up you will pass basically. the textbook and her quizzes don't match up so get ready to google. she gives two chances on quizzes and drops your lowest 2 lab grades at the end.

Comment:
Dr. Smith was not very helpful or accommodating if you needed help. She also got off topic a lot during lecture. Another problem with the class however, was that the quizzes at the beginning of the week had nothing to do with lecture or lab, which was rather confusing for study for tests because the study guides had nothing to do with anything.

Comment:
The online quizzes have nothing to do with the topic at all. Be prepared with Google to look up the answers. She is scatterbrained and can never finish a lecture on time. Her lectures are super boring. You NEED a clicker for attendance and participation points. She coughs a lot too which is annoying af.

Dr Smith is the sweetest teacher Ive ever had. In both class and lab she is willing to help you with any problem you have. She also will do everything in her power to make sure you can pass the class. Just make sure to do the Sunday night quizzes and study for lab quizzes. Since they count towards your grade. Would take another one of her classes

One of the nicest ladies there could be but I don't think she's great at teaching the content. Weekly quizzes and lab that aren't that hard but really affect your grade. Exams are hard and she doesn't help prepare you at all. Her SI wasn't the best either with preparing us for the exam. If you're not great at science- expect a C or even lower

She is never ever at her office during her office hour times. Rarely replies to emails. The lectures don't help at all. Attendance is required.

The material she makes for this class is not suited for a 101 level class. Her test are very tough and no where close to her practice study guides she has for each "topic". There are 14 topics with online quizzes due every Sunday. When it comes for exams questions are very hard. She does not coordinate practice exams with the SI leader.

Make sure you do all of those Sunday night quizzes & study for the lab quizzes because every point counts. She doesn't teach the material very well since there is only 50 mins of lecture, but go to the SI and definitely study the study guides as best as you can. Smith will clarify any questions you have, but sometimes her lectures are unorganized

DONT BUY THE TEXTBOOK WE DIDNT USE AT ALL. The test were very hard compared to how she explained it in class. The labs were dreadful but she made them the best she could. Main problem with the class was the tests were hard for a 101 course. She does allow you to retake the first two test as your final which is optional which was nice.

Dr. Smith is a very nice lady but sometimes she will get annoyed if you ask questions. She did her best to teach the material but honestly if you just read the study guides and powerpoints you will be okay. Also, the Bio 101 is mainly just memorizing vocabulary so get ready to make flash cards.

Dr. Smith is the sweetest person ever. Her lectures are fun and is always willing to help in lab. There's online quizzes every week as well as a lab quiz, both easy if you read your study guides and lab. Definitely recommend her for Bio101.

Bio 101 is not the easiest of courses in general, but she is a pretty good professor. Weekly lab quizzes are harder than expected, but if you come prepared, they aren't bad. In lecture she doesn't explain as well as she could, but lab definitely helps

Science is definitely not my strong suit , but Professor Smith was by far one of my favorite professors. You take 3 exams and for your final you get the choice to retake both of your first two exams. I recommend her for any student, but especially those who struggle with science, she's amazing!!

She loves what she does and understand that some of her students are taking this because they have too. She drops the 2 lowest lab and 2 lowest online quiz grades. Also, she lets you retake test 1 and/or 2 at the end of the semester. Take her.
