 Pros: Does a really good job presenting the information in class. However, if you learn well by reading and taking notes, the only reason to go to class is for the clicker points, since she mainly repeats in class what you take notes on at home

 Pros: Enthusiastic, Good speaker/lecturer, Nice personality, approachable
The assignments, online quizzes, and clicker points are easy; the tests are hard if you don't actively process/learn the material thoroughly. Labs can take down your grade depending on the TA, but there's a chance they'll be curved. Dr. Woodward is really nice and always really enthusiastic. Find some bio buddies sit with at lecture and study with.
