Lectures are unprepared and rushed. Does not know how to conduct classroom participation. Group activities aren't given enough time. Absurd amount of reading and teaching yourself. Uses McGraw Hill (the worst online textbook out there). 1 assignment = 1+ hr. Weekly proctored online quizzes. If u wanna fail a class, you found the right teacher. 0/10

She gives a lot of weekly assignments and quizzes that you must complete for a good grade. You must attend in class lectures to really get a good grade as well. If you do not show up or slack off then you will not get a good grade. She is also not a good lecturer and really does not teach well. All she does is talk about how she used to play bball.

Speaks very fast in lectures. Lots of reading and weekly quizzes, but they're for credit, not graded, so that is good. No extra credit, no curves, you get the grade you earned from doing the work all quarter or not. Weekly participation forums in class. Overall, do the work, be present, and you will do well.

Class is super interesting but a lot of work for a 3 unit class. Two exams 75pts each, final paper (research) 100pts. Weekly participation assignments that total 100pts and easy hw assignments worth 100pts (can re do q until you get 100). Do NOT take this class if you hate bio or if you are looking for an easy A!!! Personally really enjoyed it :)

She is very nice, but the workload is super excessive, especially for a class that's only worth 3 units. I would not take this course again. The quizzes are extensive as well as the lectures and the amount of information you need to know is also broad. A nice woman but this class is way too much work for it's worth.

Very unengaging and monotone lecturer. Made a class I was honestly really interested in taking kinda boring. Don't expect much from this class, it's pretty much just ESS 3 with some basic sports application. Slade also just reads off slides, and each time I watched a lecture it seemed as if she didn't even bother reviewing it before discussing it.
