Lyric is a super nice professor and makes class very interesting, just be aware that there are no practice problems or exams for the final exam, she will ask random tidbit questions and everything she mentions are on the table for the exams so pay attention. Midterms are online, there are often participation points in class so go to class.Rate My Professors ↗
100% my favorite professor I've ever had. Super passionate, very knowledgable, and gives engaging lectures. Super busy but still makes time for her students if you ask. Got me super interested in parasites to the point that I think I want to lean into this field as a career!!!Rate My Professors ↗
By far my favorite class during my entire experience here at UW-Madison. Dr. Bartholomay is an amazing professor, and her lectures are engaging, and interesting. She takes the time to learn our names and makes sure everyone is engaged. This was the first class where I would hope to be called on to answer a question!Rate My Professors ↗
Dr. B was great! Bi-weekly quizzes can be tricky, be sure to study! Course structure flows nicely, and Dr. B is very kind and personable and lectures are engaging and fun. Participation and engagement in class is a must - almost all lectures have some kind of P+E assignment, or she'll take attendance. Overall a great class!Rate My Professors ↗
Dr. B is amazing--so passionate about her field & SO kind. 350 is graded by a LOT of small assignments, so be aware of deadlines. Short, non-cumulative exams online every 2-3 weeks. 75-80% of her lecture is writing on the board, which she posts on Canvas later w/ slides. If you weren't interested in parasitology before, you will be by the end!Rate My Professors ↗
Dr. B really cares about her students and their learning. Although lectures are mandatory they feel worthwhile in attending. It's clear that she has taken student feedback and makes sure that classes and exams are educational but also interesting and not overwhelming. Would absolutely recommend taking one of her classes!Rate My Professors ↗
