I now know why she has a 2 on here. She just doesn't care. Why is she in Davis and teaching here? Class is easy, our TA was the only one really grading anything and he was a really easy grader. This was a 6 week summer class, so we only had 2 midterms and then ~2 coding labs due every week along with a final project that was pretty easy.

Professor Thomasson seems like a really nice person, but her lectures were SO disorganized. It was really, really difficult to follow. She was not in person and her lectures were all on zoom which made it even more confusing. However, she made her exam very fair and pretty easy which I appreciate.

Despite all the negative reviews, Dr. Thomasson was a decent professor. Although teaching remote, she was extremely accessible out of class and a very caring lady. Lectures weren't bad, at times she stumbled on her own words, but office hours were AMAZING. No practice exam, but quizzes were easy, and midterm was easy too. UTILIZE HER OH to get an A

Why on earth would you expect the students to go in person when you're on zoom??? AND if you don't have enough time to teach all of the material in class, then it shouldn't be on the midterm, not an extra lecture. Continuously misuses vocab terms, making class even more confusing and will circle things rather than actually define them.

She teaches on zoom at UCSB but lives in Davis? There's literally a college you can teach at there... Awful lecturer, terrible organization, left us with no idea of what to focus on. Clears her throat directly into the mic (gross). Crammed 2.5 lectures into a video 3 days before the test. Told us she "isn't a plant expert" but teaches plants. AVOID

I truly hope Kelly reads these reviews and understands that she's not meant to be a lecturer. She simply cannot teach. Lectured through zoom and didn't even have her camera on for the midterm review. The intro bio dept. is a joke. I don't understand why we pay so much to attend a zoom class IN PERSON. Avoid!! Take small section EEMB 3 if you can.
