She is so fun to talk to and super knowledgeable! I really liked her as a person and she did a great job teaching BOT410 for the first time:) Unfortunately, she just is not on top of grading/giving feedback.Rate My Professors ↗
I would love to garden with Eve, or meet her cats, and I really liked going to office hours/doing my honors project with her. Great lady. Loves plants so much. Not great with tech, but a subject expert! You will teach yourself and be amused by her. She's very sweet and means well. Will say "are there any anthropologists in class today?" every day.Rate My Professors ↗
she cool, she like a da plant.Rate My Professors ↗
So hard to listen to a monotone lecture 3 times a week, but she knows what she's talking about. She's bad w/tech and you can't see your grade until it's on your transcript. The tests were doable with a solid study guide. All memorization, no application. Honestly not the worst option for a science credit. Nice that there's no discussion.Rate My Professors ↗
She is a nice woman and is quite knowledgable and passionate about plants. However, she does not offer a study guide, and the tests are a gamble. Additionally, she doesn't grade anything until the last few days. Though she does offer a good amount of extra credit.Rate My Professors ↗
Pretty much no one pays attention during lecture because they do not engage you whatsoever. It is a boring explanation, she reads straight from the slides. Seems to be a lovely plant enthusiast but is definitely the worst professor I have had at UW in terms of ability to teach. Would not recommend , I wish I learned more.Rate My Professors ↗
