Dr. Foltz is an amazing professor. She explains concepts very well. The material can be challenging at first, but once you do enough practice problems it starts to become common sense. Highly recommend doing the homework assignments and past exams as they are extremely similar to the midterms and final.

Best professor in MCDB! I learned several interesting techniques and we were allowed to think of our own experiments to perform in addition to the experiments she created. The grading scheme is clearly presented and fair. Professor Foltz because loves to share advice and wisdom about applying for grad schools and getting involved in research.

Based on the in-person lab pre-pandemic, Dr. Foltz is so kind, caring, and approachable and truly wants her students to succeed, understand the material, and have fun in lab! You have to stay on top of keeping your lab binder organized and up to date (checked weekly), but the experiments themselves are super cool. You work with 1 lab partner.

Dr. Foltz is a caring and fantastic instructor. The class is very straightforward, and there are concepts that will help you in a biology career, especially in research. Her homework assignments will help you catch up on what was covered in class, so be sure to do them and understand them. Also, go to office hours, if possible.

Kathy gives a lot of feedback because she wants her students to succeed. If youre not succeeding, youre not trying hard enough because shes there to help you

Dr. Foltz is amazing at teaching and giving you advice on school in general. Class is very interesting, she only tests on the key concepts. The other information is because it is interesting. It's an 8am, which is tough for some people to get to, but I think going to lecture is better than watching Gauchocasts. Go to office hours they're so helpful
