Absolutely LOVED Professor Crawford. She would walk around before every class and talk to people; she is so kind. Everything you needed to know for the exams was in the PowerPoints she lectured with, so attendance is not required. She also works hard to provide vocab lists and study guides to make life easier for us. Easy, yet fun class!

The lectures can be a lot at once for a new freshman. She goes through material very quickly but with some work outside of class you can keep up. The effort you put in is what you will get out of it. Dropping lowest test is very nice!

Dr. Crawford is an amazing professor! I took her for BIOL101 and 102, and I can assure that she cares a ton about the wellbeing and success of her students. Her exams can be kind of difficult, but she offers a lot of extra credit within the exams. Final exam is optional if you are satisfied with your overall grade in the course!

Dr. Crawford is AMAZING had her for 101 too. She gives you such a good foundation fitted for later courses. Makes lectures fun interesting with real life stories and examples. Its a lost if missed. She understands situations and is willing to provide everything you need for success in the course. Take her. She's really a really nice and caring prof

I took Crawford for both 101 and 102. Her lectures are long, and tests are insane. Two answers always sound right. But, her final exams are insanely easy and lot's of easy extra credit questions were given on them. She drops the lowest HW and test grade, which are the only grades in the grade book. Overall a nice lady and okay professor.

All time favorite teacher here. The lectures have a ton of slides but she highlights what you need to know and is very enthusiastic about her job. I had her for BIO 101 and 102 and actually enjoyed attending class. Final is optional but you NEED to study for exams.

I had Professor Crawford for BIO 101 and BIO 102. She is personable and cares about students. The class is heavily graded on tests, but the final is optional. Great professor!

Dr. Crawford is an amazing professor. While attendance isn't mandatory her lectures make the class worth going to. There aren't very many grades for the class so you need to make sure you study to do well, but that's just the nature of a bio course. 10-12 extra credit points on exams, and lowest is dropped (including final).

Professor is super nice. Attendance and textbooks are optional. However, she mainly reads directly off her slides during lectures. Exams are easy only if you study and final is optional if you are happy with your grade.

Cool professor. Optional final exam, easy to make A if you use Quizlet and memorize. I would argue the lab counterpart is harder than this class. You have two tries on HWs, meaning you can remember what you got right and fix it on the second try. Exams a bit difficult bc you have 50 minutes to answer 50 questions. Overall easy class.

Very easy! 5 tests including the final, 9 homeworks, the lowest of each was dropped, if you liked your grade before the final, you didn't have to take it! The best way to know what's on exams is pay attention to what she focuses on in lectures. Take time between your 2 homework attempts to find the right answers cause the questions don't change.

She covers everything you need in class, so the textbook is only there if you don't understand a topic (she showed us a free version). She drops your lowest test and quiz grade, and her exams are pretty easy if you attend lecture. She is very kind and helpful, and is more than happy to answer questions.

Lovely lady, makes bio interesting. Her exams were hit or miss with the difficulty. If you study and attend majority of the lectures you will do well. Optional final.

I took bio 101 and 102 with Dr. Cawford; she is one of the best profs I've had. She cares about her students and gives them many opportunities to do well in her class. Great professor, I would take her class again.

Dr. Crawford truly cares about her students, and that is evident in the countless study materials she makes and study advice she gives to everyone. 75/25 split of tests and homework, respectively. 5 overall tests (incl final) with highest 4 grades considered in final average (i.e., final is exemptible). Vocabulary-dense class, but just study! :]

Professor Crawford is the best! There was four exams, 8 HW assignments (which were basically just quizzes), and a final which you could exempt if you were happy with your grade. All of the exams had extra credit points and the homework assignments were completely open note and you have 2 attempts. Also lots of study materials provided as well!

to be completely honest, do not take her if you do not have a good study technique established. she gives hard tests that seem like common sense but you need to know the material. very lecture-heavy. i had her tues/thrus from 11:40 to 12:50 and we rushed thru a lot of content and it was lecture-dense! interesting individual and mid-class overall :/

I love Prof. Crawford!! This is my second semester taking her and she is still great! BIOL 102 is the same structure as her BIOL 101, drops lowest hw and exam grade (including the final). There is a lot of content for each exam however the exam questions are pretty general. This is her first year teaching here and she has done amazing!!
