LIFE 102 Freshman Grade Earned: A Required (Major) 11:42 pm, Feb 17, 2010 |
This class is tough but I would recommend taking it with Prof. Roess if it is required. She definitely knowledgeable about her subject. Put in the effort and complete all of the online assignments on time and you will be able to get a good grade.

Welcome to college, everyone complaining about working hard and not getting an A. Effort does not equal results. Sorry. Be happy that she offers enough extra credit that you got a better grade than you actually earned.

LIFE 102 Sophomore Grade Earned: B Required (Support) 10:42 pm, Jan 4, 2010 |
The best test grade i got was a 68% and i got a 74% on the final and i ended with a 84% between lecture and the lab...DO THE EXTRA CREDIT! and pray she drops the lowest test grade like she did for my class. shes extrememly monotone and the whole subject is insanely boring, but she tried to be funny and she really loves what she does if you dont have to take this class stay away but if you do i would recommend her because its super easy to pass.

This class was not that difficult. I took AP Biology in high school and barely passed with a 59.45 so I just assumed that was how it would be in college. But the tests were not hard if you filled out the study guide and studied that and the final wasn't difficult at all. The extra credit for attendance and homework really helped my grade and I would gladly take another class from Dr. Roess again.

LIFE 102 Freshman Grade Earned: B Required (Support) 7:03 pm, Dec 14, 2009 |
I worked my ass off in this class and ended up with a B. The class itself is pretty difficult and you can't underestimate how much you need to study. However, I am glad that i took this course with Prof. Roess. She was very knowledgeable about the subject and her slides are good quality. Complete all of the online coursework and it will give you a lot of extra credit. Overall hard course but cool lady who cares about her subject.

LIFE 102 Sophomore Grade Earned: F Required (Major) 7:30 pm, Apr 25, 2009 |
Im not bashing her because of my poor grade because i believe Life102 at csu is terrible. half the teachers for bio dont even speak fluent english or are wayyy to hard of tests. I dont think ive talked to one person thats taken this class that did well in it. This professor literally just reads her slides off and makes it impossible to pay attention. I read, studied, and went to class and did terrible on the 1st two tests. I went to see this professor and in a nutshell she told me "read the book, come to class, and study alot," and thats all her advise was. I didnt stand a chance. on a personal note, i would try to take this class over at front range, its not a class of 300, its more like 20 so its one on one and the professor will see and care if your understanding the material.

LIFE 102 Freshman Grade Earned: A General Ed 1:58 am, Jan 8, 2009 |
Professor Roess (pronounced like Race) was a very good teacher. She tended to rush through material when a test was looming, but she tested almost entirely on lecture material, with very little emphasis put on information in the book that wasn't covered in class, mainly because her lectures were fairly exhaustive. The lab section is a breeze and the tests had a generous scale on them, with a score over 100% very possible. However, this is not necessarily an easy A. The tests are still challenging for most students even with the scale; they're all multiple choice, and she doesn't throw many soft pitches.

This professor is the best teacher I've ever had for biology. She is the first one to teach me biology so that I could understand it. You need to go to the lectures to understand the material, but all the material on the exams is covered in the lecture. You need to study your notes to do well on the exams and it doesn't hurt to read the book. She is a fair grader as well.

LS 102 Freshman Grade Earned: A Required (Support) 3:29 pm, Jan 24, 2008 |
Well first of all, I got an F on the first test but ended up with an A in the class! She isn't interesting, very bland and sometimes annoying, but she knows her stuff. And you may not think she has a personality, but she does!! She is ok, and gives a lot of extra credit so that might make her more than ok, or maybe she just wants less people to have to take her class over again so there is less work on her part. You decide. She is obviously VERY lazy :)

LIFE 102 Freshman Grade Earned: A Required (Major) 9:34 pm, Jan 23, 2008 |
Dr. Roess is very nice and knows this stuff inside and out. The class was easy as a whole, and lectures are straight of power points. Definatly a boring class, but if you do the study guides, the tests will be easy. She gives a ton of extra credit, and points for going to class. I didn't enjoy this class, but enjoyed Dr. Roess. Definatly take this class if you need science credits!

BS 100 Sophomore Grade Earned: C General Ed 1:13 pm, Dec 21, 2007 |
In my opinion, if you dont understand science well, this is the wrong class to take. Roess was terrible at explaining things, I worked my hardest in this class and still only managed to pull a "C" The only part of this class that allowed me to even get that grade was the extra credit. If you attend class you get extra credit. Which was a nice booster...Would NOT recommend this class, or professor to anyone!!

Professor Roess's class was very interesting and she explained everything very clearly. My only complaint is that sometimes when a test was approaching she would rush through the lectures and the material would become a bit confusing. She gives many opportunities for extra credit and makes herself available if you need help. I made use of the tutors in Ingersoll hall if I needed help rather than going to her all the time. It was a good class overall and she made all of the slides available over RamCT as well.

BS 122 Sophomore Grade Earned: B General Ed 4:09 pm, May 11, 2007 |
Basically Prof. Roess read from the powerpoint and did not add anything to it, therefore I didn't see much of a need to attend class. I barely read the material, didn't know the material, and somehow I ended up with a B in the class... which I think is a joke! So if you're looking for any easy class and an easy instructor here you go!

BS 122 Sophomore Grade Earned: A Elective 12:27 am, May 2, 2006 |
This was a great class! I took it during the Spring semester of 2006. It was very informative and you walk out of it knowing A LOT about drugs (both legal and illegal). It involves a good amount of material, but it is fairly easy to get an 'A' in the class. She provided the PowerPoint lectures online before class. I printed them out and followed along during the lectures. They were so word-heavy and informative, that you could actually get away with not attending the lectures and still having a good solid foundation of the material. I also sold the "optional" textbook back and still received an 'A' in the class just going off of the lectures alone. She uses the lectures to take test questions off of, so you don't need the textbook. She also has an AWESOME grading system where if you do well enough on the first 3 exams, you can essentially stop going to class. There is an "optional" cumulative final and an "optional" extra credit paper. I got a 'B' and 2 'A' grades on the first three exams and got a score high enough to get an 'A' in the class and stopped going. The only thing I didn't like very much is Dr. Roess tends to be somewhat of a dry person. She can have a monotone voice sometimes and can be a little boring to listen to. She also never showed any videos or gave us any days off, which I guess isn't that important, but are always extra bonuses for me. Take the class if you want an informative, easy, no textbook, 2-credit elective. I'd recommend it just because the class is so laid back and because it is easy to pull of an 'A'. Oh! And during the semester I took the class, the GTA gave review sessions for the test that covered what was going to be the exam. The teacher provided a study guide of questions and the GTA actually circled which questions were going to be on the exam! This made it EXTREMELLY easy to study for. I actually pulled off a perfect 100 on the last exam. So take the class! Sorry this was so long, but I can't stress how GREAT this class is!

Go to reviews! Easy class. I never went and got over 100%. She gives lots of extra credit and she even gave us our highest exam score as our overall grade!

LS 102 Sophomore Grade Earned: A Required (Support) 3:56 pm, Dec 28, 2005 |
Although the lectures are a bit dry, she explains the information really in a way that helps most people understand. I am horrible at biology so I had to do all of the reading and study really hard... but if you go to her lectures, you won't have to do all the reading. She gives a TON of extra credit -- almost 15 extra credit points on every test -- so that is a huge help. She also has her TA do multiple study sessions which are also an extreme help.

Dr. Roess is a decent prof. She works with her students to get them the grade they deserve. Her lectures are a bit boring but you don't really need to go to class as she posts her lectures on webct. Her TA gave helpful review sessions before each test.

LIFE 102 Freshman Grade Earned: B Required (Major) 2:20 pm, Dec 19, 2009 |
0 of 2 people found the following evaluation helpful: I got a B in this class and worked my ASS off!! I ended with an 89.77% and she refused to round it to an A, which is ridiculous because I missed class only twice and did all of the homework and extra credit. And I got an 80% on the final so clearly I worked hard and studied a lot and she didn't care and left me with the B. Was this rating helpful to you? |
