Class was challenging but worth it.BIOLBIOL 2012-07-19 14:41:36 +0000 UTC
Very helpful. Always there for ya. Promptly replies to emails and cool.PHARM7010 2010-05-21 20:24:02 +0000 UTC
She is a great instructor. I learnt a lot from her pharmaceutical lab course class. She knows her stuff and makes sure that we get to know it too. She is great with trouble shooting. She gives out great fine tips to get accurate results. Thanks to her I learnt a lot.PHSC7010 2010-05-15 22:19:35 +0000 UTC
OMG. horrible. she cannot teach and her office hours are just not enough. DO THE READING BY YOURSELF. the powerpoints are there an outline soo pointless. masteringbio is your bestfriend.BIO1101 2010-01-12 00:25:09 +0000 UTC
She began reading off the powerpoints but has stopped now. She offers help. Adds too much information to the powerpoints and doesnt cover info from the textbook. make sure to read the textbook and do the mastering biology because her exams are a bit hard. be prepared for LOTS of reading. But thats all bio classes anyways.BIOL1101 2009-12-03 21:38:41 +0000 UTC
Very helpful with an ability to simplify complex concepts. Classes are usually interactive and hence pretty fun to attend. Has an eye for details and the assigned reading is well chosen.PHSC7010 2010-05-08 17:22:07 +0000 UTC
Not thrilled with this teacher. She is very boring and reads directly off the power point which is straight out of the book, so read the book. Only use her slides as a guide and I would most certainly use MasteringBiology.BIO1101 2009-12-14 14:37:10 +0000 UTC
Don't listen to everything you read about this class. People will say it was boring and that you don't have to go, but Joelle is a very down to earth, fun and sweet lady. I learned a ton and did very well. If you read the book, the slides and do the masteringbio online material, exams are not THAT hard. Joelle knows her Biology- makes a great profBIOL1101 2009-12-03 15:56:10 +0000 UTC
Uses power points provided by the book publisher with very little or no expansion. No point in attending class, although she's nice to look at.BIO1101 2009-11-11 16:00:56 +0000 UTC
Only reads from Power Point slides in class that come from the book. The slides only have about 1/100 of the information that is covered on the exams. It won't do to simply study the slides. Attending class is pointless. If you read the chapters on your own VERY thoroughly, you should do okay.BIOL1101 2009-11-20 11:07:44 +0000 UTC
