Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
Dr. Dugan was amazing! This class is Limnology, and will be easy if you have taken introductory biology and chemistry. Lectures can be a little dense and data-heavy, but study the lectures and put key terms on your notecard, and you'll do just fine on the exams.

Quality 5/5Difficulty 4/5
Amazing, informative lectures - and she posts the slides outside of class if you can't make it. Clearly very passionate about biology and overall a kind individual! Her exam is the final exam - study a lot for it (Learning Center, textbook, go to lectures and office hours), and you'll do really well. Best of the three Bio 101 professors!
