I feel bad for you if you have to take her class. I hope you have strong stomachs if you take biology. Find a partner who has a strong stomach and is willing to dissect if you don't want to. There are 4 dissections you'll do--and at least two are on the final exam. The tests and quizzes are NEVER EVER EVER like the study guide! Study hard and study well to the best of your ability! I would even recommend studying with someone in your class. Also be prepared to get stressed out--she assigns way too much homework.

Don't take Aukamp's class. She doesn't teach well. You can make all the study guides in the world, have her look over them (IF she's ever free--which she's not) and the test will still not be like the study guide. Her notes aren't even right--they don't match the book, they're just extra ramblings.
