Mary is a lovely person. She is kind, and passionate about her subject. She's a stickler for phones and does a good job with a course she doesn't have full autonomy in designing, but interactions about the material in class are often uncomfortable and 'fill in the blank as a class by speaking in unison'. do not take if you have anxiety.Rate My Professors ↗
Zoo 102 has a lot of details but Mary makes a 3 hour lab go by quickly. She's relatable and often adds personal stories and anecdotes that really add to the class and helps us to remember the information better.Rate My Professors ↗
