easy class. tricky to get an A, but a very easy B. study for exams do all the work and you're guaranteed a B. Study more for the exams and do good in lab and you are guaranteed an A | |

Goschke puts a bad name to what a professor should be. No one cares about her class, nor does she. It is really pathetic that all her years of schooling to obtain the stature of "Doctor" has brought her to teaching a high school level biology class. This class is completely awful. Goschke's grading policy is awful. Tests are ridiculous. I showed up 5 minutes late to a class and she would not let me turn my work in. Overall, she absolutely sucks and I hope anyone who reads this does not get stuck in her pathetic class. | |

Print out the slides!!!! This will make it so much easier to listen and take valuable notes, as she runs through the powerpoints pretty quickly. Goschke is super sweet, although if you have issues hearing you probably shouldn't sit in the back. She made Bio very applicable to my life and also pretty interesting. I didn't buy the book, but really recommend doing so. | |

GO TO CLASS! This is the MOST IMPORTANT piece of information if you want to succeed in this course! She uses the iclicker so there's points to earn for your grade very single class. Besides that, there is minimum outside work besides studying...and btw, STUDY A LOT for the exams!!! | |

Goschke is a great professor and a really nice person. If you ever have any problems she is more than happy to help you out. There are 2 midterms and a final. At the beginning of the quarter she says the final isn't cumulative, it kind of is: 20% of the questions are cumulative and 40% are on the information from the 2nd midterm on. There are a few small assignments throughout the quarter as well as online quizzes and journal questions. I recommend printing out her powerpoints because she can move through slides decently quickly sometimes. As long as you pay attention the class is a piece of cake (even if the class is at 7am). | |

I loved Professor Goschke. Her class actually makes me want to change my major, or at least minor in BIO. She was the only professor who taught this class when I took it, but I would have taken her either way. She takes clicker attendance every day and requires you to fill out bio journals before each midterm/final as well as three written assignments. If you can memorize, you will do very well in this class. She was always upbeat and helpful in office hours-wants you to do well! TAKE HER | |

Let me tell you what I think about bio 111. It's not a difficult class, just consumes an unnecessarily large amount of time. I was in a study session at first, but I realized I wasn't getting anything out of and didn't really need to spend more time on the class than I already was. The lectures go fast because there is a lot of material to cover. This can make it difficult to actually grasp the concepts during lecture. I eventually just gave up on taking notes and I never bothered to print out the lecture slides because they were like 15 pages per lecture. Instead, I would go to lecture to get iClicker points and read my book during lecture. It seems to work. To study for the tests, I just reviewed to readings and did the online practice tests. Now the lab portion of the class is probably the most useless thing ever. It's long and boring waste of time. Overall, not a bad class. Learned a few interesting things from the book, but I can't wait to be done bio after this quarter! | |

This class wasn't too bad..but you do have to study! Bio mostly consists of memorization, so get ready to memorize A LOT. I was originally planning on being in a study session for this course, but it didn't seem too necessary once I figured out that I would just read the chapters and be fine, all of the info that she lectures on comes straight from the book!! She is an alright lecturer and a very nice lady. I found some of the material in the beginning boring but it gets better. Have to study for the finals and midterms, as long as you understand big concepts (photosynthesis, cellular respiration) IN DETAIL you'll be fine. | |

Goschke is so nice and great! I really enjoyed her class and recommend her to anyone. Advice: Go to class because clicker points can make or break your grade. If you can, sign up for the workshop (Ben Buford is really good) and really helpful for tests. Print off the slides to follow along because her lectures are fast. If you have a question, ask in office hours because 1) teachers love that and 2) other students will be angry if you hold up the lecture. Trust me you want all the material she talks about. Most of the tests are based on lecture. Short answer is based on journal questions. She is really nice and a great teacher. If you get the chance, take Goschke for Bio! | |

This class was very easy and a good GPA boost. I got an A on both midterms and the final without much studying. It's all very basic material, like what you learn in your high school bio class. Goschke is a good teacher but she goes through her slides pretty fast. She wanted us to print out all of our lecture slides but I never did because it's a waste of paper. So taking notes can be kind of rushed. I got the book and I'm really glad I did because it helps to clarify some of the things she went over too quickly during lecture. Goschke has cool videos and pictures that she took herself to go along with lectures. As for the lab portion of this class, the first two labs were torture but it gets better after that. I definitely recommend this class. It's easy and can be interesting. | |

If you're finding yourself as a low priority and with minimal options as classes, I would recommend taking this class. I only say that because an A isn't impossible (paying attention and keeping up with the textbook will get you that) and a B is basically handed to you. She isn't a very smart professor though, literally reads straight off of power point slides. One time she couldn't get the projector to work and seemed clueless on how she could possibly teach. 2 midterms, a final, and a bunch of soft points. Average work for a GE, which isn't much. | |

Goschke presents material clearly, it's just boring sometimes. If you want to do well, pay attention. She follows the book pretty well, so if you follow her using your book you will understand it better. The book was kinda interesting. She does use an iclicker, so you need to go to class, or find a way around it. Points are fair and there is a lot of buffer points/extra credit to keep your grade up. Some of the tests were a little bit difficult, but it was straight forward. The short answer questions were based on the journal questions she makes you do. She has been teaching this class for a while, so she knows what she is doing. She also is helpful in office hours. | |

BIO 111 was a very easy class with Professor Goschke. She offered lots of extra credit, and if you understood the material she lectured on (which wasn't hard) then the tests were very straightforward. Every other week there was an online quiz that you could retake three times. She always answered questions, and never rushed through anything. Overall, a very good teacher for a Gen Ed class. | |

First off, there is no need to buy the book. As long as you print all of her slides and bring them to class every day, you're A-okay. You can also check the book out at the library anytime, fo free. Anyway, Goschke has a slightly mean way about her that's super subtle, and you can tell she can be nasty if needed. But she did bring her entire lecture hall candy on halloween, so that's a plus. The exams were like getting slammed into a wall when you're on a nice morning stroll.. be prepared for it or else you're screwed. WAY HARDER than any exams for a GE class need to be. STUDY STUDY STUDY, that's about it. The exams are MC and free response, which is rough. Also, you need a clicker so if you miss one day of class, say goodbye to at least 5 points. Overall, an interesting class and okay teacher. | |

This course is not too bad IF you read the book before class, print out her lecture slides, and do Prep-U. She takes the tests LITERALLY OFF PREP-U, so that will help a lot if you do it. Also, show up to class. The clicker points end up paying off big time, and the extra credit bumped people up an entire grade level. | |

I loved her. I do not know why everyone is giving her horrible reviews but she is a great teacher. She puts all her slides on blackboard so you can print them out and take additional notes during her lecture. The iclicker, online quizzes (you have 3 attempts) and homework assignments are all easy points. Yes, you must study for the midterm and final, buts thats college. You need to know how to study correctly. Reading over your notes one time through is not going to work. Read the book, read your notes, make study guides of the things hard to remember, and do practice problems on prepyou. It only costs 10 dollars and it really helps you prepare for the tests. Take this class! You will love her. I actually learned a lot of biology this quarter. | |

Goschke comes off as a nice lady but she's not. Try and get a different teacher because she doesn't present her materials well. All she does is read off her power points that she just gets from the book, and you have to go to class to get her dumb clicker questions. I would rather jump ass first into a dildo factory than take her class again. | |

DO NOT BUY THE BOOK! I REPEAT DO NOT BUY THE BOOK. Waste of money. I never even opened it once. Go to lecture, you get clicker points when you show up. She posts the slides up on Blackboard but they are missing a few key items. unless you want to kill your hand bring a laptop or print out the slides and just take notes on anything extra. Slides are not her own but she explains the material fairly well. Test questions are ALOT harder than in class questions so make sure you study. Nice teacher, explains fairly well, falters when asked certain simple questions however, but i recommend her. | |

Basically, it was a boring yet easy class. The lectures are very dull, yet you need to go because there are sometimes in-class quizzes. She gives out a lot of easy points (written assignments, quizzes, participation) which makes it hard to do worse than a B unless you don't put in the effort. | |

Her lectures are completely useless. She uses eye-bleedingly terrible powerpoints, and just reads off the slides, adding in \"Umm\" and \"Mkay\" at least two or three times per sentence. The only reason to go is for the blackboard quiz passwords and the i-clicker points. If you read the textbook (which is overly simplified and occasionally inaccurate) you\'ll do very well on the tests, but the lectures are a complete waste of your life. | |

Bullshit class. If you want a boring monotone to READ some premade(yea the teachers edition text book slides) lecture slides than this class is for you. The only way I learned was from reading the text book. In my point of view the only benefit of attending lecture is the clicker points (which have weight on your final grade). Other than that I believe the text book pretty much does the job. All in all if you like reading alot of material its an overall easy class for an easy grade >>>IF<<< you study and not get behind. | |

Goschke is friendly, and explains the material in a manner that is not difficult to understand. There are online quizzes every few weeks, worth about 10 pts. each. They are un-timed and easy. She also has a few writing assignments throughout the quarter, which are really easy. She gives credit in class for using the clicker and sometimes extra credit. This is also how she takes attendance. The class is big (100+) but yet she is able to answer questions and go back a few slides if needed. She is nice and makes jokes here and there. Overall if you study and go to class you should be fine as far as grades. | |

Grace was a very nice professor. She would bring us treats sometimes, which was nice. I liked the powerpoint slides set-up she had because it made it easy to study. My one complaint was how early the class was. I took Bio111 7:40AM twice a week, with an 8AM lab. Bad choice because I was practically falling asleep. I was like .2% from a B, but she wouldn't give it to me, which was unfortunate. | |

This class was fantastic. She clearly goes over all the material that you would ever need to know for the three exams. Dont bother buying the textbook though, it is a good reference if you need extra help and cant attend office hours, but I never opened it and got a high B easily. The only thing that held me from an A was the lab score. She occassionally brought us in homemade muffins or donuts. Ive never had a professor that is more helpful during office hours that Grace. The easy, retakable quizzes have questions that are identical to exam questions so be sure you know them. Take her, if you ever have a question be sure to ask she will always make sure you understand. | |

So I avoided taking this class my freshman year because i thought i hated biology, but Goschke was a great professor for this course, she made it straightforward and gave us everything we needed in order to do well in the class. She reminded me of a teacher you'd have in high school-- super sweet and caring and genuine. Even though my class had over 100 people, she still was interested in teaching us, even bringing us candy on halloween and making us cookies before the holidays...I mean it wasn't a small classroom, so that just shows how sweet and motherly she was! Her teaching method is off of powerpoint, the book isn't necessarily needed, but I used it to clarify certain things from lecture and used to practice quizzes at end of chapters. She definitely gives you more than enough chances to do well in the class--gives you extra points to help buffer your grades..like the online quizzes which are basically freebies, and extra credit points if you're in class. She's a younger, approachable professor and she definitely made bio more bearable. plus, she has good style! oh yeah, and try to do well in lab because that may be the extra boost to help your grade in lecture | |

Goschke was a great professor. She was not exactly the most entertaining professor, but she gave out 12 points of extra credit randomly throughout the quarter so I would really suggest going to lectures...often times those points were just for being there...not to mention it will benefit your test scores to go. I would suggest a workshop, as well...it helps. The final was not cummulative, either...and I got a 100...not too difficult of a class if you put forth the effort. Also, she's very helpful when it comes to not understanding a question. If you don't understand the question, she'll clarify it. | |

Professor Goschke is a really sweet teacher. I had this class at 8 every morning and so sometimes it was really hard staying awake in her class. But if you actually pay attention (a huge cup of coffee may help) you can learn something from the lectures. You don't need to buy the book for this class. Professor Goschke gives a lot of opportunities to do well in the class: the tests are fair (based on the lectures/slide shows), extra-credit is given, we have a couple of quizzes to take online (we can take them as many times as we want until we get all the points) which help with the overall grade at the end of the quarter. So yes, even though biology is not my favorite subject, this class made it a lot less painful than I anticipated. | |
