Dr. Clabough is a great lecturer. She's very clear and concise, and although she doesn't use PowerPoints, she likes to draw on the board and write up important terms. I've definitely learned a lot. This really isn't a class you can skip though, as there won't be a PowerPoint or anything online to review.
Even though she's a great professor, this class has been really hard. There's 5 tests including a cumulative final- 25% each and you drop your lowest. However, the tests have a lot of multiple select questions that are super tricky, and any information from the textbook is fair game (no matter how small of a detail it is). She has also made it clear she does not believe in curving any of the tests or the class itself, so you get what you get. As someone who does not have a biology background, I found this class to be tough. Maybe don't take my word for it if you're a bio major.
Edit: I also want to mention that even though Dr. Clabough lectures well, was not accommodating during the COVID-19 crisis. I don't think she even offered words of sympathy for our situation once. The tests remained closed-note and tough, the difficulty of the material ramped up, and the time limit for exams remained 50 minutes (I once had technical difficulties that ate up 10 minutes of my time trying to sort out, but it didn't matter.) She stopped hosting regular office hours and just posted YouTube lectures 3 times a week. I was disappointed by this because the transition to online was difficult for many students. I found her to be a kind professor before this and just didn't understand why we got NO leniency at all.

This course is notoriously rigorous and heavily memorization-based, so only enroll if it is required for your major or you are deeply committed to the subject. Expect a demanding schedule of dense readings and frequent exams that pull highly specific, sometimes obscure details from both the textbook and lectures, with class averages that routinely run low and are almost never curved. While the instructor is generally supportive and has recently added helpful grade buffers like daily knowledge checks and an optional assignment to replace an exam score, the pacing and recorded materials can still feel disjointed or out of sync with newer editions. You will largely be on your own to succeed, so dedicate extensive weekly hours to meticulous note-taking, active recall, and thorough textbook cross-referencing since the tests assume you have memorized virtually every detail covered.
