My absolute FAVORITE prof at NU. Cares about every one of her students, and she knows so much, she's been able to answer every question I've asked all year. She's such a sweetheart, and makes you love Biology as much as she does. I learned a TON and it wasn't that hard to do well either. TAKE THE CLASS, REALLY.BIO2299 2017-04-19 11:10:46 +0000 UTC
Susan Powers-Lee is the BEST professor I had freshman year. I learned so much in her inquiries class and pretty much everyone ended up with an A or A-. As long as you do the work (which isn't hard) you'll get an A. She even wrote me a letter of recommendation after freshman year (which is hard to get since many classes are so large.)BIOL2299 2017-03-23 12:34:18 +0000 UTC
Simply the BEST. Take her class!BIO2299 2016-12-09 21:25:01 +0000 UTC
One of the smartest teachers I've ever had. She loves what she's teaching and is so damn knowledgeable. She answers every question you have perfectly and is such a sweet person. You really need to study for the tests but the material is really interesting and very well taughtBIOL2299 2017-01-10 22:12:42 +0000 UTC
One of the best professors I've had. She is very kind and passionate about her course and she is always there for you. There are short readings before every class, one project, and four exams overall. The exams are really fair and on top of that you can drop the lowest grade. Lectures are engaging and instructive. Loved the class; would take again.BIOL2299 2016-04-29 20:12:22 +0000 UTC
Prof. Powers-Lee by far the best professor I've had at Northeastern so far. She is the head of the biochemistry program, so she focuses on the biochemical aspect of things. She assigns daily readings, but they're short. You won't need the textbook. She is an easy grader, and you will definitely learn a lot from her. Take her Inquiries class!BIOL2299 2015-12-18 00:35:57 +0000 UTC
