She's cool and all but I was disappointed. I didn't pass and I had a 4.0 GPA before taking her class. After my third exam I knew I wasn't going to pass. So for those who aren't bio masters I wouldn't recommend her. No study guides, online homework-mandatory, attendance-not mandatory. I'm pretty upset and sad because I have to take bio 189 again.

Dr. Lois is very nice, always willing to help students after class, provng her time whenever needed, but she is very difficult. She is very fast pace and likes to keep on schedule if that means speeding up lectures. I have a complete notebook of notes that I have taken while attending all of her classes, she gives no study guides just tests and HW.

Amazing! She moves mountains to help students! Took her online course&was anxious but workloads fair(2-3 ch/wk) She's so helpful&organized! Replies to emails w/in hrs. Grading is fair. 10pt quiz & short essay due/wk. Tests(50 m/c) arent super easy. Read &review b4. Good profs are such a rarity, ill literally take anything shes teaching.

Dr. Merkler is a great teacher who thoroughly understands her subject and makes every attempt to help her students understand as well. She is the best Bio teacher I have ever had. It is important to study and attend class. I would have done better had I put in more time studying.
BIOL189
The teacher was great but I did not like her way of teaching. I felt lost in her lectures and I could not grasp the information. If your a full time student or have a full time job forget about this class because you must be fully dedicated to this course. It is a tough class so TAKE GOOD NOTES!!Seriously...Good Luck
BIOL189
The class overall requires you to STUDY! A lot of notes that will help you with the exams. This professor is willing to go above and beyond to help you understand the material. Don't be afraid to ask! She takes pride in teaching! Always finds some funny jokes to compare the information you are learning. Best PROFESSOR EVER. TAKE HER, or regret it!
BIO189
I liked her and her way of teaching. There are a LOT of notes but they help for the exams!! Bio is a hard class but she is willing to explain things to you and help you whenever needed. I would recommend her and would take her class again.
BIO189
I liked the professor, the only complaint is she argued with the book and shed skip around a lot, so you never know where you were. But I DID NOT LIKE HOW MUCH CHEM YOU LEARN! ITS A BIO CLASS! But she is definitely willing to help wherever you need
BIOL189
Merkler is so nice and always willing to make sure you know the information before moving on to new material. I think she explains things very thoroughly and uses the white board a lot which helps visually! I didn't have a problem in her class and would take her again any day.
BIOL189
Best Biology class! She's always willing to help. 4 tests 8 Homeworks. 1 homework dropped. Final covers whole semester. She answers emails clearly. Tests are directly from lecture. Attendance not mandatory, but you do earn points for going. Recommend a study group lots of material covered. Take Merkler!!!
BIOL189
Overall Professor Merkler is an awesome teacher, I would recommend. I took BIOL 189 with his in the spring of '12. Very clear, very helpful..if you have any questions just ask and she will help you. It is a bio class so you will need to do all the assigned reading and take notes in class, if you study hard you can get an A (as I did :D)

Professor Merkler is a very knowledgeable woman. She is eager to help, and really cares about her students. Her exams are hard, and it's not an easy class. She explains things clearly and leaves room for students to ask questions. If you study the notes, read the book, and ask questions, you will learn a great deal. Best of luck.

I learned absolutely nothing from this class. I attended every class and took great notes. Her slide shows were confusing and she did not explain things very well. I would have been better off if I never attended class and just stuck with the bio book.

Dr. Merkler is a great teacher. I really enjoyed her class. She made biology interesting and something that I looked forward to every Monday and Wednesday. She obviously knows a lot about biology and is willing to help if needed.

Professor Merkler is a wonderful teacher. She is very passionate about what she teaches and goes over everything very extensively. There is alot of note taking and if you are someone who skips class you will not pass this one. Homework is posted every week which takes about 5 min online to do. This class is Interesting & fun !! Highly recommended!
BIOL189
GREAT TEACHER! She is more than helpful and really wants you to succeed if you show interest. She will answer questions, meet anytime she is available. Usually answers emails right away. Helps you with what you get wrong on exams. Wrote letters of recommendation for me and it got me into the first Biology Workshop even though I'm a freshman. GREAT
BIO189
She is a great teacher who wants you to pass her class. You only have 4 quizzes and 8 homework assignments. Test are directly from lecture notes. Really didn't use the textbook, but its very helpful to read along with lecture notes. Take her !

Dr. Merkler is an amazing professor who cares about everyone passing. she is willing to help you out and makes biology easier to understand. lots of notes.
Biol095
Dr. Merkler is an excellent professor, very helpful, clear and concise. Five quizzes(open book), four exams the last one being cumulative and 5 or 6 homework assignments. She loves her subject! If you are a biology major, take her! If you are an allied health major she will really help you understand the fundamentals of life too.
