Quarter: Winter 2019
Grade: N/A

It sucks that the Life Science 7 series is all managed by Debra Pires, because no matter what professor you have, you still get screwed over by the same exact tests, and get asked questions that are ridiculous, unrelated to material, confusing, and meant to trick you. Debra Pires is unreasonably strict about dumb irrelevant things and will accuse you of cheating even if you are not. None of the LaunchPad questions ever make sense, and we are asked to wear PPE in lab so that we can play with legos. Terrible series overall. Would not recommend

There are not enough words to describe how awful of a teacher she is. She seems all sweet and nice and homely, but if you talk to her during office hours you can see how little she cares about her students. You know how in lecture professors are supposed to teach you the material on the test? Yeah, well Deb talks about otters or some other type of creature for a solid twenty minutes. And you can't even skip lecture because she has so many clicker questions that range from easy to difficult. If you get one wrong and can't explain why, you're better off asking a person near you and not her because she won't explain it to you. I absolutely loved biology in high school, but the 7 series destroyed that.
