(I took Bio H with her in 2021, so her class may have changed. ) Workload: Homework is manageable. A couple 1-page worksheets each week, and a few projects throughout the year. Most of the workload comes from studying for tests, in my opinion. STUDY, STUDY, STUDY! I found her tests quite hard(50 multiple choice questions) and it requires you to truly both memorize the material and now how certain biological processes work. Definitely my most time consuming class during freshman year. Also, extra credit carried my grade a LOT because of the weird way the grades are calculated. It's mostly trivia questions about herself and other things, there's not really a way to study for it unfortunately(ex. multiple choice questions "What's my favorite flavor of lemonade" or "How heavy was the heaviest pumpkin"). And don't worry if you do bad on the CERs, I got like straight 70s on them and still ended the class with a 92.

She may seem harsh but she's a great teacher in my opinion. Biology is a hard subject and I felt I understood the material pretty well.
