Comments:1106 - You might be wondering why this review is directed at the Lab Coordinator rather than the Teaching Assistants (TAs). Let me clarify: I have no issues with the TAs. In fact, they are exceptional educators who are both understanding and lenient. However, my experience with the Lab Coordinators has been nothing short of appalling. I would not wish this lab experience on my worst enemy. During my tenure in this course, I fell ill and provided a doctor's note stating I was unfit to work. The Lab Coordinators displayed a shocking lack of empathy or concern. This message isn't meant to air personal grievances publicly, but rather to inform potential students about the reality of this course. While you can expect the TAs to support and guide you admirably, do not hold any expectation of assistance or understanding from the Lab Coordinators. Their actions, or lack thereof, suggest their primary aim is to impede rather than to aid students. It's a stark warning: the TAs may be a source of solace, but unfortunately, expecting any form of support from the Lab Coordinators would be in vain.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1105 - WHO DESIGNED THIS CLASS!?!?!? Whoever it is... is a straight criminal... like they must hate people. My TA was great, thankfully, but this class was straight-up busy work. The people/instructors were awesome, but the course itself was a pain. FOR ONLY 1 CREDIT hour I had to work so much; more than one of my 3 credit hour classes. I love trees and what they do for our environment, but now every tree I see gives me PTSD after this class. The lab itself was fun, but the pre-lab/post-lab was crazy. Hope this helps!  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1105 - Literally the worst, way to hard and she could not care less about you academic future.  - Grade In Class:C+

Comments:1105/1106 - It’s understandable that students dread these labs. They’re more difficult than anyone expects and are often more time consuming than their respective 3 hour courses. The questions on TopHat are sometimes borderline unfair so I highly recommend to work on them with a partner/group if you want to maximize your grade. As for the labs you’ll need to complete two templates (before and after) on canvas that need to be in great detail for the full marks. I often found myself bored with the procedures but making occasional jokes and being able to laugh with my partners made the experience worthwhile. There are two presentations and I will always advise to make the text professional, like in a research article, and only choose neutral & dark colors. Additional pointer: Always limit the text and project the key details from your own understanding. Lastly, the questions on the midterm exams are given from a random pool so study everything! (If info seems unnecessary, it will show up too). Getting an A is attainable and devoting extra effort in small places will ensure you’ll be successful :)  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1105 - This class is honestly the worst. There is a reason the entire freshman class unanimously hates BU trees. This class even though only 1 credit hour, took up the most time for me every week. The curriculum is just plain out stupid. The Top Hat questions are so long, and very difficult. The prelabs are so time consuming and a waste of time since its all already on top hat. You are placed into teams of 4, and chances are your team will be terrible. Two of my teammates dropped out of the class after the first week and they refused to restructure the teams, so we had less people to do the same amount of work as everyone else. My teammate would barely do any work on any of the group assignments so I was basically running solo. The midterm is a whole other beast. So basically there are two midterm variations, and one is absolutely impossible, like no one gets above a 70, and the other one is very easy, the average is a 90. If you get the hard exam, GGs because you are screwed. On top of that, the midterm is completely unrelated to what you are learning in class and the test cannot be studied for because they are thrown in from left field. Honestly just the worst class at baylor by a longshot. The only thing that saved me was my TA was actually really chill and helped the class out a lot. The only thing you can do is pray for a good TA.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1306 - I did not expect this class to be as much work as it is. You have to buy their $85 textbook off of a site called TopHat. Every week there is a ton of reading in TopHat including graded multiple choice and short written answers. Furthermore, you have to submit a pre-lab template as well as write out the whole lab protocol word for word in your notebook. You also have to do a post-lab assignment as well. There is only one exam (midterm) and no final exam. However you have to complete a midterm and final presentation where you present a research article as a group. Keep in mind though that you are NOT graded individually. For example, my midterm presentation was docked points because my teammate kept saying "um". My grade was effected even though I wasn't the one who did that. I found Mrs. Bracey to be, while always available, very unhelpful and snarky. As other reviewers wrote, she will give NO second chances. I had a mishap with a post-lab that resulted from a technical error. I met with her to see if she would raise the 30% grade I had on the post-lab and she would not budge. She is very much a "deal with your mistakes" type of lady. So do not expect leniency from her. If you are sick, you will need a doctor's note AND you will need to zoom into the class and complete all assignments by the deadline. Like I said, NO LENIENCY. With all of this in mind, this course is not the worst thing I have ever done. If you are a science major, you will most likely have to cross paths with this course. Yes, it is boring and the instructors are not great, but try to smile and do your best. Good luck!  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:BIO 1105 - For a one credit class, I spent about 4 ish hours doing TopHat HW and the lab. This class somehow took more effort than BIO 1305. Don't go to her for any help, you're better of asking your lab TA/LLA. She's so insane, even if you're sick and you show her a doctor's note, she may still ask you to zoom into class. Absolutely not ok, this class should be redesigned to be less time consuming and easy.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1105 - This class is so unnecessarily difficult and time consuming. I highly suggest talking to other students, TAs, or LLAs because she will not help you! She is abrasive, does not give second chances, and does little to actually care for your well-being in this lab! If you want a good grade in this class, be prepared to spend more time doing work for this lab than your regular Biology 1305 course. So unnecessary! This course needs a huge makeover and needs to be redesigned!  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1105, 1106 - Okay the course is extremely challenging and really tests the students' ability to take one concept and connect it with another. Basically, A + B = C, but a lot more difficult. I had a terrible TA who was always late to lab and never had powerpoints ready, so that definitely impacted my grade as well as my ability to enjoy the course. As for Dr. Bracey herself, I personally found her to be very accommodating, concerned about her students, and a very fast replier via email. Out of all the bio/chem instructors I took, Dr. Bracey was the most "human" out of all of them. She acknowledged that students have a life outside of campus and things happen. Also, I wish I would have had a better lab group. The first day of lab make sure to pick a group that is compatible regarding work ethic, commitment to the course, as well as personality!!!!!  - Grade In Class:B

Comments:1105 - Wow, this lady is a truly uncaring woman. She does tolerate any mistakes and gives no second chances. She is very abrasive. If you need any help, go to one of the other instructors! She will not help you and does not care for you or your academic future.  - Grade In Class:B+

Comments:1106 - I've literally never met this woman in my life and I had her for 1105 and 1106. Pray you get a good TA. This is the hardest 1 hour course you will take at Baylor, do not underestimate how much you need to study. Know every word in the book. GL  - Grade In Class:B+

Comments:BIO 1106 - This has to be the hardest one hour class on the planet. The only advice I can give is to make sure you study at least a week or two in advance for every test.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1106 - 1106 is extremely difficult but doable if you put in the work. Go to open lab, and take pictures of specimens because you’ll have to memorize them for exams. The first exam sucks, and the next 2 are doable if you study well. I will have to agree with what many people have said about the workload and credit hours. Four a 1 hour course it’s way too much work. This required more study time than any of my 3 hour lecture classes for me. It’s gonna suck, but it’s doable  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1106 - 1105 is easy. 1106 is more work than it’s worth. It’s all memorization and don’t let other people’s opinions deter you. If you put in the time, you’ll get the grade you want  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1106 - Alright. I’m average in Biology and I managed to score well on all the exams. I went into this lab thinking it was going to be my hardest class...it was not. It just memorization. That’s all. I will say it is a lot of information that you do have to remember, but you just need to make flash cards or a quizlet and you’re set. I scored an average of 83 on my exams. Don’t worry, it’s not that bad. You just need to have elite memorization skills.  - Grade In Class:B+

Comments:1106 - This class is notorious for being insanely hard for absolutely no reason. it is just a TON of vocab words, concepts, and microscope, all of no relevance, thrown at you that you just have to learn. The thing about this class it is not impossible if you take the time to study. Granted, the "time to study" might be 12-15 hours for one exam, but if you do the work you can make a decent grade. Go to open lab, find out what you don't know, learn it, then forget it immediately after you take the exam.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:BIO 1106 - BIO 1106 is the worst class I have ever taken. It is so poorly structured and unreasonably hard. I studied so so hard and still could not make higher than a C....everyone is just lucky to pass. There is not enough bad things that could be said about Amanda. She is so rude and not willing to even allow any outside open lab time...she has open lab during a specific time of Fridays and it is when most students have class but she is not ever willing to extend that...yet she will not curve the grades because no one goes to open lab because most students have class at that time. Luckily my lab TA made up for how awful Amanda has made this class to be. Be prepared to buckle down for some intense biology studying and get close with your TA to figure out how to succeed in the class. Amanda, please please be open to make some changes in this course because it is needed.  - Grade In Class:C

Comments:BIO 1105 - If you think bio lecture is bad, wait until you take lab.  - Grade In Class:B

Comments:BIO1105&1106 - If any one class made me reconsider if college was worth it, it was General Bio Lab. A one-hour credit class took up at least 12 hours of my time per week. I studied for this class more than I studied for bio.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1106 - 1105 - easy A. 1106 - absurd filter class. Workload vastly incommensurate with credit hours. Guessing Bracey's rationale is to prepare students for medical school, which is utterly ridiculous in a freshman bio lab. Prepare to overstudy and still get bad grades on tests, which are extremely tricky and very obviously meant to trip students up and lower their grades. If you're good at memorizing vast amounts of functionally useless information like the names of bones and obscure subsections of organs, you'll do ok. I had to study more for this 1 hour class than I did for chem 2 and gen. bio 2 combined. Why are the worksheets extremely easy and then the tests are extremely hard? Why do we have out of class research assignments for this course? How to survive: Make Anki cards as you do the labs. Don't skimp on them, everything bolded in the text book, no matter how minor or regardless of whether you went over it in lab, is fair game for tests Frequently test yourself over diagrams Don't get behind Never talk to Bracey. Good luck. The class sucks. Just remember it's only 1 credit hour. If it comes down to studying for this or a more important class, go for the other class.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1106 - Terrible class. I studied more for this class more than bio II and hated every second of it. And it's 1/3 the credits. She makes this class so hard. I know several people who had to drop it. If you are prepared to study 15+ hours for the tests to get barely a 90 you'll probably get an A. Other than that good luck.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:bio 1106 - This ONE HOUR CREDIT class is too hard for its position. Bracey is not very accommodating, especially if you have a question about an online quiz. I would study for well over a week in advance for any of the tests if you hope to make at least a B+. I wish there was a way out of this lab. Huge waste of time  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1106 - Bio lab 1106 is definitely a hard class but it is doable. You have to study at least a week in advance for each practical. I didn't take her for 1105 since I was in CILICURE, and my transition was not bad at all. However, I only think I did well in this lab because my TA was amazing. Amanda Bracey is the bitchiest professor at Baylor if she is even qualified to be called one. She is very rude and does not treat anyone with respect. She is even rude to my TA and he has told us to NOT go to her office hours as a result. She will also make you keep the rat you are dissecting for THREE WEEKS in your room. She doesnt allow them to be stored at the BSB. Its disgusting and honestly a hazard since you are not allowed to refridgerate them. Have fun with a chopped up rat on your dresser for three weeks. She is extremely unhelpful and wants to kick people out of the bio department. Not only does she assign literature assignments, she fails you even if you do everything that is asked on the rubric. They are an inconvinience and do not reflect what is being taught in lab or in lecture. Make sure you do the one or two extra credit opportunities at the end of the semester, trust me, you will need it.  - Grade In Class:B+

Comments:1306 - She is unhelpful and lazy. She also picks a few terrible TA's. Just know this class takes more time than it deserves. Quizlet: mgoll4.  - Grade In Class:B+

Comments:1106 - She is a liar and a tubby heartless woman.  - Grade In Class:B+

Comments:BIO 1106 - Amanda Bracey is the devil. She changed up Bio 1106 and condensed 4 tests worth of material into 3 and added the rat lab. She also has this new thing where we basically have to write 3 research papers. For A ONE HOUR LAB.She's also not helpful/accommodating at all. This class is poinless.  - Grade In Class:B

Comments:BIO 1105 - This class is easy, dont listen to bad reviews. The tests are simplified versions of the book. Yes, duh, you have to read the book for a test that's over the book. Easy A.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:BIO 1105 - Dr. Bracey does absolutely nothing, ever. Thank god I have a helpful TA but otherwise I would fail. She doesn\'t even allow you in her office if you are sick and refuses to round up grades. She gives you these stupid scientific literature assignments that are worth MORE than the labs themselves. WTF. Also, she has the personality of the grinch. I hate u Amanda bracey  - Grade In Class:B+

Comments:Bio Lab - Why the hell is she even a teacher? She literally just walks around from lab to lab discouraging you. Amanda made me feel so stupid and this class is just another example of why so many kids leave the Baylor biology department with much distain. Amanda is terrible and I hope she gets fired. However, Baylor won't do anything because they are too busy settling rape cases they tried sweeping under the rug.  - Grade In Class:B+

Comments:Bio 1105/1106 - Yeah this class is all hype. If you read the workbook, you will make an A, almost guaranteed. The exams were pretty basic, in that the questions were usually only 1 sentence long, and the answer choices were pretty straightforward. Overall, a pretty straightforward class in my opinion. But you have to take pictures of stuff. You need to. But pretty easy. The classes later on in the premed series only get harder, and if you can't make a good grade in this class, you seriously have to readjust your study habits and life decisions. My TA was alright,  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:BIO 1105 - This class. Sucks. Because it is taught by TAs, your preparedness for the exams re 100% in their hands. My TA did not speak great English and did not teach us anything we needed to know for the exams, and I really doubt he even saw the exams or knew what would be on them. Since I took the class, they have changed it so there is no rat practical which is what killed most student's grades. You would think that the material would coincide with what is being taught in the bio lecture, but that is not at all the case. It is basically very dumb, uninteresting labs, often just watching beakers with plants or diffusion bags in beakers for an hour (lots of down time just sitting in the room, bring other work!!). Study the lab manuals only because the worksheets are not helpful.  - Grade In Class:C+

Comments:1106 - The 1105 class is hard and 1106 didn't get any easier, but I feel the rat practical in 1105 really taught me how I need to study for 1106 and thats what made 1106 slightly easier for me in my opinion. There are 4 exams. the 1st one was decent (86), the 2nd one had to be the hardest(82), the third one is easier (95), and the forth one is pretty decent as well (90). I included my grade to give y'all an idea of the test difficulty. But KEEP IN MIND, I created flashcard study sets of EVERY SINGLE word in the book which came out to around 400 cards each test. and I did that a whole WEEK before the and I studied those card sets for the entire week leading up to the exam. The very last exam,, I studied the night before and the morning of, and managed to still do pretty well. But I did create my flashcards a week in advance but I never studied them until the night before the exam. I never went to open labs but always took photos of specimens and looked over powerpoints provided. The class isn't too bad honestly, I feel like her test were pretty fair... you just have to put in the work..a lot of work.. She usually gives 10 points extra credit at the end of the semester which is very helpful if you mess up on an exam. Don't miss class because those little worksheets even though they're only worth 5 points, they really matter. In this class you need all the points you can get.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1105/1106 - The class is taught by a TA, so the way actual the class time is used varies a lot. There's a super easy worksheet and online quiz each week, each of which are 5 points. BUT the tests are very, very hard. Nobody knows this going into 1305, so make sure you study hard right away. I managed to get an A in 1305, but the tests in 1306 get even more difficult, and I barely made a B. The powerpoints online are super helpful for predicting what material will be on the test, but you do have to read and take notes on all the chapters if you want to do well. Quizlet is your best friend now, just accept it and make about 100+ flashcards per chapter.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1105 - I had Amanda Bracey as my lab instructor. She is an AMAZING lab instructor. She is extremely helpful and pleasant. She makes the worksheets easy. The only down side is that Bio Lab exams are unnecessarily difficult and almost set students up for failure, especially the practical.  - Grade In Class:C+

Comments:BIO 1106 - While I have filed this under Professor Bracey, it is really for my TA Meron. This lab is completely taught by TAs, and that fact alone will make or break your grade. The class is pure memorization- know everything in the lab manual whether you think it's important or not. I struggled in that department because I have difficulty memorizing without a larger purpose to it. My TA was charismatic but not in the least bit helpful with teaching. I had to rely on friends in labs with other TAs for help simply to pass the class. As a whole, there isn't much you can do about your TA. I would recommend showing up, taking tons of pictures, and finding friends in other labs who can supplement your lab should it be unhelpful. If at all possible, start studying and memorizing the material over summer or Christmas break in order to fully grasp what you need.  - Grade In Class:C

Comments:1106 - This lab was taught by a TA. In class, you just have to fill out the worksheet and listen to the lecture. Make sure to take pictures of all of the images of slides and all the specimens because all 4 of the exams are practical and multiple choice with two short answers (no final). You don't stay the full time of class because it doesn't take long. You have to do a LOT of memorization for each exam. You have to know almost everything in the textbook about each genus/phylum/class. The exams weren't necessarily difficult as long as you memorized every characteristic from the book (quilt has some good sets). Whenever you do dissections, make sure to pay close attention on how to identify the parts. Ms. Bracey offers some bonus at the end of the semester, so that was really nice.   - Grade In Class:A

Comments:BIO 1105 - First of all, this class is a 1 hour class, but it is not a blow off class!! You have to put the work in and actually study for the tests! The tests are not bad, but you will have to study and put more work into this class than you thought you would have to. The third test (the final) is a lab practical.. which is not hard at all if you actually study.. go to open labs on Friday before the practical on top of studying and you will be just fine!!  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:BIO 1105 - Your learning in this class is entirely dependent on your TA, for fortunately I had a great TA who was super helpful. The labs are super easy. It is extremely important to know all the bold terms for exams, you should basically try to memorize the labs that will be covered on each exam. Specific topics and concepts are not pointed out to know, so just expect to know it all. The rat practical drained my grade, you really need to know everything about the rat, so study study study. Overall not a terrible class.  - Grade In Class:C

Comments:1401 - This is a horrible class, but you probably have to take it. Study a TON. Class is a joke, but it's required. The tests are way harder than the worksheets or quizzes, and Amanda Bracey will not work with you. If you email her with a question, she'll probably send a snarky response and not help at all. This class is way harder than a one hour, 1000 level class should be. The tests are okay if you memorize everything. I studied for this class more than some of my 2000 classes. Just try to survive.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:BIO 1106 - Well all I can say is I had an 89.31 and she wouldn't bump me to an A and my class was not curved- basically she just doesn't people to do well. Bio 2 was easier than bio 1 lab. Just memorize the lab manual and you will get high A's guaranteed.  - Grade In Class:B+

Comments:1105 - this class isn't that bad but they could do A LOT better job on telling students what to focus on for the exams. Myself and many other students I talked to felt mislead about topics for exams. The lab practical was honestly my favorite, I thought it was the easiest one personally just study study study.  - Grade In Class:C+

Comments:1105 - This class is very manageable. As long as you actually read and take notes on the lab manual, you will do great!The labs are very simple and you are not graded on your lab results, just how well you answer the worksheet questions. The tests are easy and straightforward. Memorize the lab procedure, and study the manual. The class really is not hard as long as you take it seriously! The rat practical is not bad. Just do not start studying the night before. This is a lab that most pre-health students have to take. It is not a weed out class, but if you cannot handle this, then you will not be able to handle much harder labs in the future.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1105 - This class is hell. You're better off taking this at your community college or bringing in your AP credit if possible. You will learn nothing from this class. You must memorize the bolded terms in the lab book (which by the way is poorly written) Also they will ask you questions from the labs that you most likely didn't even think twice about. To be fair there are some very very easy questions on the test, but there are quite a few that I wouldn't have ever guessed would be on the test.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1105 & 1106 - 1105 was a breeze except for the rat lab, which youll have to study your ass off for. 1106 was much harder, my tip is to take a picture of your slides and then just to read the lab manual over like at least 3 times focusing on the vocab words that are in bold  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1105 - For labs, it is important that you have a good TA. Thankfully, i had a great TA and made my life easier. There are 3 exams in total and the last one is the rat practical-the one everyone freaks out about. Tbh I did not thought it was too difficult but you HAVE TO KNOW EVERYTHING! I studied like a week before and made flashcards. Also, it will be super helpful to go to open labs! Just put in the time and effort to study for these exams and you will do fine!  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1105 - Never even saw Dr. Bracey so this rating applies to my TA, David Kang, who was excellent, but will be leaving after this semester. This class is not a blow off class. First two exams aren't too bad just know the procedures, what each component does and how it all ties together and the definitions in the manual and you will be fine. I didn't think the rat practical was too bad earthier, but you do need to know everything. In case you didn't catch that, EVERYTHING. Overall, not too bad a class.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1106 - Here's the thing, giving Mrs. Bracey a low score on here is a lot like screaming at the cashier of H-E-B for the price of eggs going up. The curriculum is difficult, but most of the students in this course are pre-med and I don't remember adding that designation for its ease. Mrs. Bracey is very clear about what the tests will cover in the powerpoint notes for each lab and she most certainly isn't trying to trick anyone. I would say that any low ratings you see on here come from bitter pre-meds that want to blame someone other than themselves for not reading. Mrs. Bracey has been nothing but incredibly sweet and helpful to me, and I don't think that's an isolated thing.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1106 - Honestly, 1106 wasn't bad. I think that if you come in with a good attitude and put in the effort, you will make an A. It helps that I had not only a TA, but a LA who was extremely helpful. Together, they told the class what to expect. Some people blew off the class, because it's a one hour credit course, but please do not let that fool you. You WILL have to put in work for this class. However, it is not impossible.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1106 - Hello. I know what you're thinking. Made an A in Bio 1105? Thought the rat practical was "not so bad"? Prepare for four more practicals, each one more difficult than the rat lab. There is a terribly vast amount of information that demands to be known about everything from protists and algae to the complex structures of ringworms and echinoderms. You'll study for these tests twice as much as you will for most of your other classes and still make an A- at best. 95% of students who make an A (which already is only 15-15% of the class) make only a 90 or 91, which, hey, is still an A. Run, run very far from this class (Except if you're studying biology you can't sorry)  - Grade In Class:B+

Comments:1105 - Loved my TA for this class but the practical exam was just completely unfair. It will drop your grade so be prepared, it dropped mine by 6 points. The other exams are pretty okay, just make sure to study everything and build up your grade early on because the practical will more than likely kill your grade. -End rant-  - Grade In Class:C+

Comments:1305/1306 - Biology lab I and II are challenging courses, and it is all because of Bracey's exams. They are easily some of the hardest exams you will take at Baylor, namely the lab practicals of 1306. She makes the tests herself and they are purposefully difficult. You will put more time into this one-hour class than most of your three-hour ones, so prepare to make power-point slides and read the lab manual thoroughly.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:BIO Lab 1102 - Very difficult class. Heavy workload, very little interaction with professor. You're on your own.  - Grade In Class:B

Comments:1106 - Amanda Bracey is the wicked witch of Central Texas, this lab was nearly impossible to do. I spent countless hours studying before each exam. **** This class  - Grade In Class:D

Comments:1105 - The first two exams are relatively easy but make sure you study pretty much everything in the exercises. However, the last last exam (the practical exam) could have only been designed by Satan himself. It WILL drop your grade, so definitely plan to do well on the first two tests.  - Grade In Class:B+

Comments:BIO 1105 - Bio Lab 1 is not a blow-off lab. It requires that you study (and know ALL the information) before every exam. I recommend reading the manual and taking notes before your labs, and going over your notes and re-reading the manual before each exam. The third exam is the Rat Practicum. It is VERY detailed. You have one minute to answer two questions, and there are 60 questions total. I recommend studying at least 2-3 weeks before your test.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:Bio 1106 - Bio 2 lab is no joke, but it is doable if you put the time in... Just realize that you will be studying for it more than some of your 3 hour classes, which is annoying. I always made PowerPoints with pictures I took in lab and all of the information about that particular specimen and that worked well for me. There are 4 exams, 50 questions each, and they will test your knowledge (lots of "all of the above... both A and B... both B and C" answer choices) so be sure to have a thorough grasp of the lab manual. Go to open lab, because occasionally there would be a specimen in open lab (and on the test) that was not in my lab section. Stay on top of this class from the first exam and it is doable.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:BIO 1106 (Bio Lab II) - My rating applies to my T.A. I had Alyse Yeager. This lab is so straightforward, but requires so much studying. 4 tests, equally weighted, no curve. You get what you earn. Work your butt off. 4 Keys to Bio Lab 2: 1)Study the manual for every exercise you cover, especially emboldened words. 2)Study the taxonomy (phylum, order, class, etc..) 3)Memorize any anatomy in manual or dissections 4)Take pictures of every single slide and memorize what you're looking at and what it looks like. It's hard but it's doable.  - Grade In Class:A
