I had so much fun in the class. Dr. Gray was such a fun lecturer and caring professor. She was so excited and animated about the content and made sure we were prepared for our quizzes and exams. I would recommend you take one of her classes she's awesome!

This class is fast-track. It is not easy and the material is heavy. Don't take this class if you think you can get an easy A. Watch lecture and write down ALL the notes. Your detailed written notes are your study guides. She is very clear on what she wants you to understand. Extra credit is a BIG help. Do not skip class or any assignments.

This is a fast-track class, you MUST study every day both lecture and lab. Dr. Gray will let you know what she wants you to understand and which concepts will be on the test, so listen to her carefully!Rewrite all her notes or you'll fail her tests.This is NOT an "easy A" class, don't take it if you can't commit to study.Do all the extra credit

LIFE IN THE OCEAN. BIOL113. She is a great teacher, its hard to miss a day because there is so much information for each lecture. Her tests are pretty hard, and she doesn't give a study guide. Group work and quizzes every day. A lot of memorization.

Dr. Gray is the best professor I've ever had. She offers a textbook but I didn't have to look at it once the entire semester because her lectures give you everything you need. There is extra credit and she is always willing to walk you through concepts. It's a difficult class but she makes it fun.

Dr. Gray is an amazing professor. The material is difficult, but could not have asked for a more helpful, knowledgeable, and wonderful instructor. Dr. Gray's lectures really prepare you for success in the course. I could not recommend Dr. Gray enough, she truly is a great professor who cares about all of her students and their success.

our class was a few weeks behind in lectures, personally made it hard to keep up. Some of the stuff she teaches doesn't really reflect on her exams. However Gray was always helpful and caring & very reachable outside of class, willing to help you out. She has a nice sense of humor and offers lots of EC.

Dr. Gray is awesome. It is a hard class, but she makes things easy to understand in her lectures and tries to point out things that will be on the tests. The class is test heavy, but she does a really good job of preparing you for each test. Show up to class and take good notes and you will do very well in the class.

The best professor I've ever had. You can tell that Dr.Gray loves teaching and is very knowledgeable about her material. If you are taking fast track (like I did) the class is rigorous, but if you study the material that she lays out for you on a silver platter you will get the grade you deserve. Lectures are fun and exams similar w/ study guides.

Offers lots of extra credit opportunities, I'm in fast track 223 224 and she makes it easy to pass as long as you show up to class. She gives you the specific info she wants you to know for exams.

I didn't like lecture. An environment of biological determinism was created by her harsh commentary. Felt more like philosophy not science.

She is an amazing teacher. Out of all the classes i took she's my favorite. I took her fast track 223 course and even though it was very difficult, she made it fun. You have to put in work and try hard in the class to pass but its worth it! I highly recommend!!!

Took BIOL 191 in the Fall of 2019. Top tier lecturer. Dr. Gray's morning classes are a prime time to reduce a caffeine tolerance because she will keep you awake and engaged with her energy. True gem in the Biology department.

Dr. Gray is amazing! Her lectures explain topics in an understandable and simple way. She is also super funny and has a clear grading criteria. The amount of work she assigns is not unbearable and all of it helps you get ready for her tests. If you're looking for a really engaging science class, take her Intro to Animal Behavior class!

Her lectures are overly simplistic & vague while tests are technical & detailed. Tests have material not covered in class despite her saying she wouldn't do that. She marks answers incorrect that are correct & warned us not to argue about points. Avg exam grade (class): 69%. Possible to do well if you are an independent learner with initiative.

Dr. Gray is probably the best professor I've ever had. She is very clear in answering questions, appreciates participation from all students. Her grading is very test heavy, but don't only rely on her lecture notes to fully understand what she's teaching you. She is pretty good about responding within a decent time frame.

Dr. Gray was by far the best biology professor I've had at TMCC. She definitely makes you work for your grade, but she makes learning the material easier than most professors. I am by no means a person who does well in school, but she spent time with me after hours to come up with an effective game plan for me to get the grade that I wanted. 11/10

If she doesn't think you worked hard enough to get an A, she will do everything in her power to make sure you won't receive it. I had to take my exams to the dean to get my grade changed because she refused to give me credit for correct answers. She gave others credit for things I answered the same but gave me 0s. Take anyone else. Not worth it!
