BRUTAL final. Know everything about everything. She's really smart and knowledgeable at what she does. But that doesn't make things any better esp. when you're a premed and need near stellar grades for your goals of going to med school. booo

boring lecturer, horrible slides that fail to define a lot of simple processes or terms, and dull subject. covers a lot more depth than I needed for an intro class.

sweet lady! you can't help but smile if you talk with her in person - she loves to help people and gives proper direction. if you have any problems, or think the class is too hard, TALK TO HER! she will make it so much easier!

I liked her. You could tell she really loves plants. She just seems really boring when she's following Dr. Low who is so enthusiastic! If you study all the material and do her practice final or quizzes you'll do fine.

she is very smart but her lectures are incredibly boring, unless you happen to love plants. that isnt her fault though. her test questions are very difficult and you need to know the information backwards and forwards.

Not only are her lectures so boring its unbearable to sit through, but her exams are the hardest tests ever. I'd rather watch plants grow then listen to her talk about plants. avoid if possible. she tries to kill students with exams and doesn't care if ppl do bad

Her midterm was ridiculous, not because the material was hard, but because of the way she worded the problems. Did not read the book, because all her exams were purely from her vague lecture slides. Not a very good professor, does not explain the concepts well.

She isn't mean, but she didn't seem to care if the class understood what she was talking about or not. Doesn't explain things well. Tough and tricky exam. I had to read the book thoroughly to figure out all the information for myself. She goes into too much detail about things. Avoid if possible.

I thought she was ok. The final is straightforward, if you keep up in the info and take CLAS you will do fine. I almost got an A, and everyone made it out to be impossible. Don't be scared of her, just keep up and you will do fine!

very confusing and tedious class. i definitey put in many hrs before the final but got an A

she's sooooo boring! monotone voice, stands still behind the podium the whole time, and every once in awhile says, "does anyone have a question? well i have a question for you." her tests are EXTREMELY hard. have fun learning about plants.

Lectures are helpful if you can stay awake during them. Her tests are a bit ridiculous with the way she words the questions and it really seems as if she doesn't want her students to do well. The class is definetly passable though and plant bio only lasts for 5 weeks

WORST PROFESSOR I'VE HAD. End of story. Class couldn't be more boring, reflected by the fact that about 10% of the people actually understand wtf is going on. She is monotonous, says the same thing over and over, and tests you on your ability to memorize worthless details. STAY AWAY FROM THE FINK!!!

She needs to retire. Worst teacher at UCSB. Tests are impossible even if you are an expert at the material. Tries to confuse the hell out of you on every question. Completely unapproachable and very moody all the time. Only way to get an A is to get lucky no joke.

worst teacher i've ever had in my life. not only is she boring and a bad teacher all together, but she is unapproachable and rude to students. i hate her.

She is an EXTREMELY boring professor who seems to have no apparent interest for teaching at all. She just stands in the same spot all lecture and talks in this monotonous voice about very boring material. Her tests are extremely hard and the practice quizzes don't help b/c they don't reflect the difficulty of the tests. Makes your GPA go way down.

OMG! SHE MADE MY LIFE SOOOOO MISERABLE THAT QUARTER. Her tests are the worst tests you could imagine to take EVER. Basically : "It's A but not B, It's A, B and C, it's not B but it could be A or D, or it's none of the above except E" She just wants to screw you over with her Plant hormone questions. AVOID!!!!!

Horrible lectures. Tests are extremely hard!! Material not intresting and she makes the test questions tricky, like none of the above, or ab, or ac and that kind of thing. Avoid at all costs!

God she was terrible.

ruth-less. very hard final but there's a curve, so don't cry

she's the worst teacher that i've had so far...doesn't explain anything clearly, shows no interest in trying to help you, and writes the most difficult tests imaginable. she killed any interest that i had in that class

SOOO BORING! avoid at all costs. Material sucks and she sucks MORE at teaching it. NO SENSE OF HUMOR - will never crack a joke and is so monotone! made me hate Bio and i got As in all the bios before. HORRIBLE!
