She did a great job explaining topics and keeping everyone on the same page with plenty of emails and reminders. She graded hard but left good comments and really helped me improve my lab reports.

She always made us feel that she truly cared about us and was willing to go above and beyond to help with our research. She is a very honest and fair grader and gives very useful constructive feedback.

Was told by my TA that you are almost guaranteed a B because A's are very hard. Janet is nice enough, but she grades harshly and often by rubrics designed to trip you up. Plus, she'll be vague until after she's graded. \n\n","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/790237","quality_rating":1.0,"difficulty_rating":5.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:34:15.818371+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTMzMDA4MjUz","source_instructor_id":"rmp:790237","instructor_name":"Janet Batzli","course_label":"BIOCORE382","course_id":"BIOCORE 382","course_uid":"course_ae7006d9c9d1828e4b1577b8","review_date":"2020-03-31 21:16:33 +0000 UTC","comment":"Janet is the sweetest creature you will ever meet.

Inquiry/exploration-based learning is a big focus of the Biocore labs which I think is great because it prepares you for real research labs. I honestly never thought her feedback was vague, but it does require a lot of thinking, reasoning, and work on your part.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/790237","quality_rating":5.0,"difficulty_rating":4.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:34:15.818371+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTI3NjQ3MjYz","source_instructor_id":"rmp:790237","instructor_name":"Janet Batzli","course_label":"BIOCORE382","course_id":"BIOCORE 382","course_uid":"course_ae7006d9c9d1828e4b1577b8","review_date":"2016-12-30 19:17:14 +0000 UTC","comment":"Professor Batzli clearly loves to work with students and help teach them to think like scientists.

A lot of students really liked her, but honestly, I didn't think she was a fantastic teacher. She wasn't a bad teacher by any means, but she was extremely confusing, and ended up making things harder to understand because she tried to be as vague as possible so \"you could find the answer yourself\".","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/790237","quality_rating":3.0,"difficulty_rating":4.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:34:15.818371+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTIzODI2NTcx","source_instructor_id":"rmp:790237","instructor_name":"Janet Batzli","course_label":"BIOCORE382","course_id":"BIOCORE 382","course_uid":"course_ae7006d9c9d1828e4b1577b8","review_date":"2014-11-16 23:44:50 +0000 UTC","comment":"Janet is basically the nicest, most helpful person you will ever meet.  With that being said, this class is extremely time consuming. I don't quite think the instructors realize how long some of the assignmentsprojects take to do, especially when trying to meet the high expectations they give us.
