However, her lectures felt disorganized. Guides outlined what would be on weekly quizzes, but lectures didn't always explain that content enough. Some topics too complex for a non-major-targeted intro course. Dense textbook, but at least skim.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2621238","quality_rating":2.0,"difficulty_rating":3.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:35:47.971314+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTM0NzQzNzky","source_instructor_id":"rmp:2621238","instructor_name":"Ingrid Jordon-Thaden","course_label":"BOTANY100","course_id":"BOTANY 100","course_uid":"course_fcbbbcaaf5e3f634f4ff4fa5","review_date":"2021-05-08 23:57:43 +0000 UTC","comment":"Ingrid is a good teacher Her way of explaining things in her lectures is understandable for me. Most importantly, I hate the fact that we're graded based on only the labs and quizzes. But to her defense, there were 14 quizzes in class, if you mess up in one, you can make it up in other quizzes. She is also very considerate of students' hardships.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2621238","quality_rating":4.0,"difficulty_rating":4.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:35:47.971314+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTM0Njk0OTI1","source_instructor_id":"rmp:2621238","instructor_name":"Ingrid Jordon-Thaden","course_label":"BOTANY100","course_id":"BOTANY 100","course_uid":"course_fcbbbcaaf5e3f634f4ff4fa5","review_date":"2021-05-04 02:15:06 +0000 UTC","comment":"The lectures did not include info we were quizzed on all the time which was very frustrating. She created 3-4 hour lectures some weeks when only 50 minutes per week was on my initial school schedule for lecture time. Time-hogged and made it difficult to succeed.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2621238","quality_rating":2.0,"difficulty_rating":3.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:23:18.334123+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTMzMjI4MzIz","source_instructor_id":"rmp:581418","instructor_name":"Linda Graham","course_label":"BOTANY100","course_id":"BOTANY 100","course_uid":"course_fcbbbcaaf5e3f634f4ff4fa5","review_date":"2020-05-07 07:43:42 +0000 UTC","comment":"The worst course I've ever taken. Basically this course is about to get all the textbook read. No lecture at all. More than 50 pages of reading per week and a quiz of cherry-picking questions that sabotaging your grade. Nice TAs, but there's nothing they can do to help you get into this course and have a nice grade. AVOID THIS COURSE AT ALL COSTS!!","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/581418","quality_rating":1.0,"difficulty_rating":5.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:23:18.334123+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTI0OTMxNzE4","source_instructor_id":"rmp:581418","instructor_name":"Linda Graham","course_label":"BOTANY100","course_id":"BOTANY 100","course_uid":"course_fcbbbcaaf5e3f634f4ff4fa5","review_date":"2015-06-02 22:35:47 +0000 UTC","comment":"The lectures are incredibly boring, she just reads from the textbook. The tests are somewhat hard, but she gives A TON of extra credit so even if you get a C on all the tests you can still end up with an A. It's definitely a drag, but if you just go to lecture for the extra credit you will be okay.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/581418","quality_rating":1.0,"difficulty_rating":4.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:23:18.334123+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTIxNzMxNDA5","source_instructor_id":"rmp:581418","instructor_name":"Linda Graham","course_label":"BOTANY100","course_id":"BOTANY 100","course_uid":"course_fcbbbcaaf5e3f634f4ff4fa5","review_date":"2013-05-10 18:46:15 +0000 UTC","comment":"She's great, don't let the reviews fool you. Class was an easy A. You get 20 points extra credit for each exam if you go to lecture. I got above an 80 on each exam without the extra credit so with it, I got perfect 100's on each test. Easiest lab credit on campus.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/581418","quality_rating":5.0,"difficulty_rating":1.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:23:18.334123+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTM0NjUwMTQ=","source_instructor_id":"rmp:581418","instructor_name":"Linda Graham","course_label":"BOTANY100","course_id":"BOTANY 100","course_uid":"course_fcbbbcaaf5e3f634f4ff4fa5","review_date":"2005-03-16 18:24:28 +0000 UTC","comment":"She is really nice and gives you a chance for 5 extra credit points by just coming up with a question for her every friday!
