Mrs Rodgers is the nicest teacher at the school. She makes extensive efforts to fit in with her students, cracks a lot of jokes, is overall a very sweet lady. She is very passionate about what she teaches, and makes Bio much more enjoyable than it would be otherwise.

This teacher is not very good at conveying information and this leads to an over-reliance on videos, you will either have to make do with the mind-numbing classwork and lessons or learn yourself on your own time. The labs are very uninspired and come off more as time killers from which very little information can be absorbed from the actual lab, instead, the post and pre-lab segments of the class are crammed with information. If you take this class, be ready to wait long periods of time before the lab as she rambles on about preparation and information. The teacher is also quite incapable of structuring classes for the online format, I took the class in the 2020 quarantine and every day when we had the class comprised of upwards of 30 minutes of busy work followed by searching through several different attached documents just to find out what you had to do for the day.

This teacher is very good. Very lenient and nice, does not give to much homework, is very understanding, and is concise and clear in her work.

Overall Mrs. Rodger is not a bad person, she, however, is not the best at teaching, in my personal class she fell back to the assistant teacher who did a far better at explaining the material. In her defense the class this year was quite rowdy, but I believe this stems from the class being so hard to engage in and enjoy in the first place.
