I love listening to her she is so easy to understand, and I actually retain so much information from her lectures. I truly am not a science person at all, but she made this actually interesting to me somehow. I really like her as a teacher! She is so sweet

Juliette Becker was an amazing professor this semester, I hope to take another class with her again. She clearly cares about her students and about teaching them everything they need to know. What I like most about this class is that the grading system is point based rather than percentage based. She is awesome, take a class with her if you can!
