The best professor I ever had!!!! very smart and funny too!
She was absolutely the best teacher for a hard class. She lectures great. She tells you what to study for. She's clear. She makes u study!!!
No Comments
Not Clear, don't count on the lecutre, depend on the Text. Buy all the books she recommands.
This is one of the very few, she is one ofthe bestteachers!attend class everyday, do notfall behind. You will learn micro and be exposed to great bacteria, she is patient to explain the different ones, her lectures actually relate to her exams but you do need to study as well. Sheis funny and nice!
she isn't "easy" you have to study, her exams are weird. They don't have questions that make sense! tricky questions. make sure you write down her key points and then go back and look them up (not good notes.shes really funny and nice but not easy as some say or think, maybe if you take her twice ;)
She is a great teacher but you do have to study to pass. Makes learning about bacteria fun. Very down to earth. She is also very fair. If you don't study you won't pass, but sudying for this class isn't hard. She does give chances to get extra credit. Extra credit really helps.
LOVE LOVE LOVE Ms. Davis! Take her & give thanks! I was in tears over this subject after having to drop it from a diff. school due to a Horrible teacher. I was scared I would never pass(Beware of Dr. Buchannan @ SMC)& then Ms Davis was so fun, I got an "A"! Seriously, you guys need to take her & be grateful! She changed my whole outlook on Micro.
Getting into her class is almost impossible!!! It is always FULL. She's a Fun,nice and very cool teacher. I was scared to take it at first but it's no worry. Just take notes and don't miss class and u will do good on her tests. Lab is fun and interesting. She's a great teacher! She adds people by Lottery when her class is full. I got lucky.
she is a very cool teacher and easy. she gives alot of extra credit. but u must enroll ¬ try 2 add cause there were people waiting to add her class at 2:00 in the morning.. I totally recomend her.
I love Ms. Davis. She is so cool. I really enjoyed taking her class. She gave out a lot of extra credit. Adding her class is kinda tough but once you get in, you will enjoy the class and will get an A. There is no way not to get an A. I highly recommand this professor.
good teacher, hard class
Her lec. is interesting, i took notes of her words and board. Her tests are from hell because there those logical tests. Lots of EC, i thought I was in the D zone but I was like high C low B with all the EC. She allows 65& as a C as other teachers say its 70% Best for Bio - make plenty friends. She I think was a crazy party girl in her days!!!
This class was moderately easy. Very possible to get "A" in her class, but you need to put some time to study tough.
Ms. Davis is so darn cool. Not only one of the coolest prof, but one of the coolest people you'll ever meet. I friggin love her! I learned so much from her class, and all the material I learned was very pertinent to the profession I want to enter. A Straightfoward, fun, and knowledgeable prof! Just don't get tricked by that Peggy Flemming stuf
I had MS. Davis as my lab instructor for Winter 07 Helen was my lecture professor. The combination of these two women is phenominal, they are both superb teachers. Ms. Davis is very helpful in lab and she has humor. She answers all questions and without attitude. She is down to earth and approachable. You will learn pertinent info. TAKE HER!
SHE DOES NOT LIKE TO REPEAT HERSELF, HOWEVER,SHE DOES GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO PICK UP BONUS POINTS FOR A BETTER GRADE. THE TESTS ARE HARD, AND YOU NEED TO STUDY ALOT, BECAUSE SHE MOVES THE QUESTIONS IN A TRICKY WAY. SHE IS A VERY, VERY NICE PERSON AND HER LECTURES ARE CLEAR AND FUN.
She is easy. She gives out so many extra credit points, which can potentially cover over two exam grade. Her exams are not hard, mostly from her lecture notes. If you read the notes twice before exam, you will have no problem passing it. If you put a little bit more effort on the class, it is an easy A. Her lectures are very funny too. Recommend!
Ms. Davis is an awesome instructor. She knows her stuff, and always makes sure you know it. She gives a lot of extra credit, but you shouldn't slack off. I would take her again.
GREAT professor!!!! she's smart and funny. entertaining lecture! you'll learn a lot but it's not an easy class.
When it comes to Microbiology Ms. Davis is like "The great big book of everything!" She'll totally help you, if you ask! I know that she looks a little scary and sweats a lot but she will not bite you. Absolutely everything shge puts on the board is on the exams, and review all the study guides she provides. You can't fail her class!! Study Study!!
Ms. Davis rocks she is the best micro teacher her class is sooo easy if u pay attention and write good notes. you wont even need the textbook if you pay attention do your study guides and write good notes. everything she lectures on is on her test. good luck! she loves perfect attendance and will reward you for it at the end. dont be late to class!
Ms.Davis is smart, nice, HOT, and very professional. She is always willing to help and doesnt make you feel stupid. She lectures great and covers everything on the micro book! Plenty of Extra Credit(which aids alot). This class was by far the best at ELAC, and it was because of her. Highly recommended A++ for teaching. Would take her for any class.
Ms. Davis is superior. Heck, she is like a spore when compared to any other professor--still alive after all others have been eradicated. :) She knows the subject very well and covers everything needed. I would take Professor Davis anytime for any course. If you want to learn heaps-- take her!
Excellent professor !!!. Will help anybody that is having a hard time. I highly recommend her..
BEST professor! Her lec. are crystal clear and only test on what she covered. She's nice and funny. I highly recommend her..
Davis is super funny and she's always willing to help if you don't understand. Took her this summer, and I've learned more than any other professors I hadthis year. She made me like science and appreciate microbiology.Don't be afraid of taking this class like I was before. She made this class interesting and definitely an easy A if you pay attentio
the best teacher I've ever had. Easy with grade. just pay attention to her lecture. Answer all the questions. willing to add all the student. even add a whole section this fall in order to add 50+ students. thanks!!
Totally awesome professor. Super funny. Makes learning interesting and fun. I thoroghly enjoyed her class. Highly recommended :]
She is the deparment head of the life sciences department and she is the best. I took the class during the last part of the TRIFECTA and it was a struggle, but well worth it since it was only 5 weeks. Her tests are based on lectures and the lab is easy. Take good notes and draw many pictures in your lab book! Don't forget to ask questions for help
She's so cool. very helpful. her grading is fair and turned out to benefit alot of us this Spring. don't be shy to ask questions. she's a great teacher. she really breaks all the concepts dwn and makes it easy for her students. highly recommend !
Her notes are short and straight to the point.So,I recommend reading over some of the details from the book/internet to fully understand her lectures, her tests are kinda tricky, she words her tests different from her lectures. She does not use the text book!Over all,she makes Micro fun. She gives extra credit. Anyone can pass her class with an A.
When I first took the class, I liked Ms. Davis's humor and honesty. However, I quickly learned how unfair & insulting she can be. She takes favorite and those favorites can get away with murder while the rest of the class, regardless if you are hard working or not, is held accountable to the strictest standards.
This class can be easily passed with an A. No doubt, you will have to put forth effort, but it's definitely not hard. She's very easy to understand and makes microbiology very interesting.
I took her class during the summer and easily passed with an A. The book is not required because the notes cover almost everything on the test. She gives plenty of extra credit opportunities and if you have perfect attendance, you can drop your lowest test for an A.
She's probably the best prof I've had at ELAC, show up to class on time do well in lab, take good notes in lecture and you'll get an A, she's a straight shooter notes are whats on exam...
Class was extremely easy. Her notes are not the best but hey, she gives a ton of extra credit to bump at least 2 letter grades. Not the easiest person to talk to. Absent without warning multiple times. Take for an A. Overrated.
Really good teacher and very clear with lectures. Just study all your lecture notes and attend all lab meetings then you'll get an A
Davis is the best Micro teacher ever! The subject is hard, but her lectures and notes make it extremely helpful.You must study and dedicate ALOT of time to the subject and you will be fine.I rate this subject as hard, but Ms. Davis, I give her an "A" for teaching ability!
Ms. Davis she an awesome professor! She's a fair grader gives lots of extra credit, so there's no reason why not to get an A in this class. She's also very helpful and easy to talk to.Study and dedicate time to this class and you will do great! I myself got an A not easy for a 5wk class starting at 7 am, but totally do-able.No need to buy the txt book only lab manual. Attend every lab meeting, take good notes, and study.
She is a fair grader and offers lots of extra credit. She really knows her material. Don't be late, don't ask stupid questions, and clean your microscopes. Her tests are challenging but not difficult. I took the 5 week version during Trifecta. You don't need the book, just get the lab manual
She is a very balanced teacher. You will have to work and study, but not obsessively. Take good notes (and/or record her lectures) and ask for clarification when you need it. Tests are based on lecture (not the book). Sometimes she is absent or late. Start your lab journal early, follow her microscope rules & do all the offered xcredit. RECOMMEND!
Great instructor!! Take good notes or bring a recorder. Be on time and study for exams you should do well. Clear lectures and fun lab. Does a lottery to add extra students. Will take 55 students to give everyone a chance. Study hard get an "A".
She is a really good teacher. She makes microbioloby easier and more interesting. Recommend her.
I got an A in her class. You would have to be pretty dumb not to. I passed with 104%...if only this school gave A+!! she is worth it if you can get into her class. Funny as heck!! Love you Ms Davis!! :)
Davis' teaching style is fun and you'll learn so much. She offers extra credit, take advantage of it and you'll definitely earn an A. you don't need the txtbook or lab manual just take notes and records her lectures and you should be fine. recommend!
I loved her class. She's very down to earth and straight to the point. If you take good notes you don't have to buy the textbook!!! Mrs. Davis also gives plenty of extra credit, if you need it ;)
Took her for Microbiology and I remember it was mainly Lab stuff which was pretty cool and interesting. She would walk around and help if needed. She reminded me of Mrs. Botts in the Simpsons LOL! She was cool
quit school if you fail this class. You will not find a college course easier than this.
Take her for micro 20 class. you won't regret. if full, its ok she takes in ALOT of students prob around 30 more. no joke!! just go to lectures n don't be lazy. u must be stupid if u don't have an A in this class. she gives out abt 75 extra credit points. no joke again. 4 lecture tests, 3 lab quiz, 2 lab tests all EASY. good luck!
She's really straight forward as some people have mentioned. Attendance is what she really likes to focus on & will reward you if you attend every single day. It's worth it & her class you actually wouldnt mind attending everyday. I wish all professors was like her. I would take her again & again. She was a good professor.
Her lectures are all you need to do well on her exams. Great professor. Funny too!
OMG the best Micro Teacher at ELAC! she's super funny and her class is not hard at all! take good notes and don't even need the book and you'll get an A. She gives so much extra credit too! Awesome awesome teacher
Amazing teacher in the entire world. She really cares about her students. She gives so much extra credit. She is willing to work with you just make sure you are always on time. Attendance is extremely important b/c it's worth 100 points. I learned so much in her class. I wish and pray there can be more professor like her who are willing to help us
Aside from taking in a substantial number of students (72 for this particular class) and the lab facility being small in size, Professor Davis did a good job in presenting the material. Another concern was that the lectures seemed rushed and generally just summarized the material in the book with broad brush strokes without going into finer detail.
EASY CLASS! I'm not too sure if I learned anything. She doesn't go in depth. I got over a 100% and I didn't even do all of the extra credit. Labs are fun.
Super easy class with very little studying required as the quizzes and tests were right out of the lecture notes. The instructor cancelled four days of lectures and there were two holidays and the final was a take-home report. The labs were crowded but very easy and she was extremely lenient with the grading but she does take attendance for the A.
What an amazing teacher. She really cares about her students. She is willing to work with you! Make sure you are always on time. Attendance is extremely important.I learned so much in her class. She is fair and understands that we (Nursing Students) need to get an A in the class. No home work! Test are from the notes! Lab was extremely fun!
hilarious, helpful, & you will learn a lot!
EASY! give students lots of extra credit! i believe in her class, most students get A
Lab was fun. Davis was funny. Class was great!
I was in love with her class. She was so honest about what you needed to know for the test. She was crystal clear during the lecture and her exams were pretty darn easy to understand. She was very entertaining and gave plenty of extra credit. i to an A! I hope she teaches Physio.
Exams are based off lecture. Perfect attendence=dropping lowest test score. Seriously drop out of ELAC if you can't get an A. Study, listen, do the EC, and you're good PROMISE.
She is the best teacher I have ever seen in ELAC. Take the notes whatever she clearly said during the lecutre then you can be doing really good in ur test. Easy Lab and she is really helpful. Got an A even thought I didn't do the extra credit opportunity.
Awesome! Very easy, lots of extra credit, hard not to get an A or B!!!
lenient on grading. lot of extra credit. you have to study for exams but everything come from lecture note. attendance is most. dont use textbook muach but big help if u have it. I got A. love u Ms.Davis!
She has a hippy teaching style, which makes you feel comfortable around her. I absolutely love her. She forbids to use slides b/c it is all in her memory, so she knows her material and makes it fun. Her tests/ quiz/ lab are exactly what is on the test. She gives lots of extra credit. Her fomite is her pen, lol. I got an A, but I worked hard for it.
Davis is super funny, her class was never boring! She is one of the coolest professors ever, take her class you will not regret it.
Davis is an awesome professor. LOVE HER. (: Took her during the summer. Very easy going. Never used the book. No lecture ppt notes, but I wrote down everything she wrote on the board. I also recorded the lecture. Be aware: only writing what she has on the board is not enough. I got an A; this class is impossible to not get an A.
She is a easy teacher. Easy to get help from students around you as well. Sweet teacher but doesn't really help much. She gives extra credit. DONT MISS A CLASS! If you don't you get a huge bonus which she deletes one test off your grade. The book for lecture is never used in my opinion !!! The lab books are used occasionally. Lectures are boring !
One of the best teachers ever I wish I never dropped would of passed with an A I love Professor Davis she is amazing you will never ever have a teacher like her don't drop for anything it isn't worth it she's great I'm going to email her tomorrow to see if I can get her winter class fingers crossed
Dr. Davis is the coolest professor in the world! She really cares for her students but hates cheaters. Also, she is super funny but her tests are quite challenging so take all notes n study from them. I never read the book n solely relied on her lectures notes. Passed with an A ! Yay! R.T
I took the Winter session, 5 weeks & there's no way not to pass with an A or B. You don't need the book,only the lab book but u can even share it with others. Perfect attendance will knock out the lowest test score. Study hard for exams because they r tricky. There's plenty of help in lab & Ms. Davis will answer your questions. Xtra credit is there
Such an easy class to pass with an A or B as long as you study her notes. One thing though, her notes are not complete, there just a guide of what to focus on. never the less take her, its a fun class and she's very funny.. oh and attend every lecture because attendance counts big time!!!
Professor Davis is awesome. Whatever you do take her! Test off her notes. Record lecture if possible. Quizzes simple. Can use lab journal for lab test. Did not purchase book or lab manual, but did share lab manual with classmate for certain info. Can DEFINITELY pass with A (no less than a B) if you study & do extra credit.
I just took her and shes great. Its a real easy class especially since she gets right to the point of what she wants. Her test are based on her notes and If you go to class on time and don't miss class the whole semester she will drop the lowest test score. She also gives you extra credit. I definitely recommend her she is very chill.
The easiest A i've ever gotten in life. Review her lectures, no need for lab or textbook. IF anything, tests were the "hardest" part of this class, but she made even that straightforward and gave ex credit. Don't expect the class to be a complete joke, but it's definitely a guaranteed A as long as you put in effort.
As long as you do the work and all the extra credit it's an easy A! She usually is absent a few times and doesn't penalize you for it! Great lady!
Great professor! Sure it's an easy A, but you can learn so much from her lectures if you are actually interested. Tests were all based on lecture so you don't really need the book.
The lecture tests are easy, extra credit is always offered to boost up your grade. Lecture exams are based on her lectures so take good notes and record the lecture if you have to. The only thing I found difficult was the lab midterms, make sure you know what each bacteria looks like and that you know how to perform each test to identify it.
Easy A but the tests are not necessarily from the lectures so don't rely on them. Do a lot of reading about Microbiology because that will help you pass. Gives plenty of extra credit. We had some quizzes as well but they aren't hard if you study your notes from the lab. DO NOT CHEAT BECAUSE SHE REALLY DISLIKES CHEATERS! overall easy A
I took micro while working it was a little frustrating I recommend to read the book because she is really confusing. I was having trouble at the beginning of the semester and the book was so much $$ thru it all I ended up getting the book on craigslist read it, did all the extra credit and passed with an A
I loved this class! She was so awesome. Labs were my favorite. I didn't buy the lecture or lab book. Show up, take notes, study! know what each bacteria looks like, & memorize each staining technique. Oh & do not cheat!
She is such a great teacher! she made lectures enjoyable and gives a lot of extra credit. If you have perfect attendance, then she will drop the lowest test score! i would def take her again. Also, the labs were fun. it might be complicated at first, but it gets easier. The exams are all based on her lecture notes and we did not use textbooks.
i took her class for micro bio, which is not an easy subject but she makes it easy and enjoyable. just copy her lecture notes and you'll be find. she gives study guides for exams and the questions are very similar and some might be even the same. Lab is very fun! I received an A in the class.
Professor Davis is The absolute Best!! Had her for Micro fall 2016, and grades are already in 1 day after semester is over!! She's very clear on what she expects and demonstrates lab steps, step by step so it's no way you should fail, lectures are broken down to it's simplicity, show up, you'll pass!! She very halarious, and welcomes all questions
Mrs. Davis is amazing! Her lectures are very clear, and concise. Write down everything she mentions (even if it is not on the board), since it will more than likely appear on the exams/ quizzes. Her labs are fun and she keeps them very simple. Record her lectures, study hard and you will definitely get an A!
She gives extra credit, she's nice and funny. Sometimes doesn't show up and let's the class know 10 min before class starts. She's an easy A . You need the book for her study guides. Lab is really easy just wear beat up clothes.
I wish I could take her again and again. She's awesome! She made it fun and interesting. I highly recommend recording her lectures.
I took Mrs. Davis for Bio 3 and I loved her she is clear and understanding as to what she will be testing in and makes the class fun and interesting. I definitely recommend taking her .
Allison Davis is a awesome teacher because, she tells what's going to be on the exam. Also, she tells you to focus on the main this on study guide and gives a lot of extra so beware of that, and take advantage of it. In addition, her labs quizzes she basically gives the answers so study them. overall, any nursing students should take her.
Best teacher ever !! She is the most enthusiastic person I know. Great lectures, clear grading criteria, she has a great sense of humor, if you don't like microbiology I promise you will like it after this class. Go to class, pay attention, study her notes and you will be fine.
Professor Davis is an amazing professor! I definitely recommend her. Her exams are easy, labs are easy as well and her lectures are hilarious.
Mrs. Davis is a great professor I took her for Bio 3 and passed with an A, she made the hardest material very simple and easy to understand. Make no mistake it is not an easy class, make sure you take good notes and study. Because that information is exactly what will be on the test. Book was used very little. Definitely taking her again.
Professor Davis is an amazing choice. Her labs are spot on and she will do a step by step example to show you how it's done. Lecture is nobody's favorite part in any science course, but her lectures have an emphasis on clarity and she avoids overly complex vocabulary. This class doesn't feel like an obligation, at all. Davis is the poo. Amazing.
Literally the worst class, I ever had. It wasn't hard or anything, it was just so uninspiring and lazy. Homework that we turned in was kind of random and both she and the class were never sure on actual due dates or test dates. Labs were kind of fun but even then i was only thinking about getting it over with and leaving as fast as i could
Davis is awesome! I had her for Microbiology 020 LAB only, her labs are very clear/fun and she demonstrates them before we do them. She is willing to answer and help anybody with any questions, her lab notes are pretty clear and she lets you know exactly what you need to know for midterm and final. She is awesome, Wish she was teaching anatomy! :(
Davis can turn a boring topic into a hilarious lecture. She makes the material easy to understand. Tests are decent, & easy if you study your notes. Very down to earth professor, 10/10.
Davis probably has good intentions, but this class is a bit of a joke and I don't think it really prepares us for the future. Having said that, if you're looking for an easy A, that's your class.
Best teacher i have taken! Love her teaching skills. She was always prepared with lecture notes on lecture days. She always went straight to the point during lecture so we got to leave early which was awesome! She also offered a lot of extra credit. Professor Davis cares for her students.
This is the class you are looking for bio 003. Just go in class and sit and listen to her lecture write whatever she writes on the board. When exam day comes she will give out study guides. Answer all the question and studying them over and over again. If you studied then you'll pass you exams and final. By studying I mean remember. Go with her!
She was one of the best professor I've ever have!
davis is an outstanding professor she really is great at what she does. very informative and helpful, she really got me to understand the basic components of biology with her lectures and labs. the tests were fairly easy basically everything we covered in class.
I just took Professor Davis's Microbiology class this fall and I really loved it and learned a lot. We has two tests (50 true/ false q and multiple choice with extra credit, one quiz,a final and lab work. I got 25 points extra credit for buying food for the homeless. Prof Davis is very fair with all her students. Easy A if you put in some work.
Just an amazing professor. She made a boring subject really fun to learn, I loved her lectures. She is hilarious and organized. She offered plenty of extra credit, there really is no reason not to get an A if you put some effort. Lab journal required to record all experiments, no textbook, attendance mandatory for lowest grade dropped. Take her!!!
She is very good at explaining the material, her study guides really help with tests, helps out in labs and demonstrates procedure, is very clear on what she wants and gives extra credit
Loved her class!! Had her for micro 20 and she explained everything so well. Her study guides are strictly based on the tests and gives extra credit opportunities. I wish she taught more subjects Id take her every single time would definitely recommend.
She's very easy teacher. Maximum student get A.
Awesome! Her lectures were easy to understand. Lets you know what will be on the test. Helps students do well. Just take good notes and you will do well. Barely used the book, she based the test on what she says and write on the board.
Ms. Davis is awesome! She makes Microbio so simple! Her notes break down all the material, which makes it easier to understand. Easiest A, make sure to hurry and waitlist her class though. It gets full quickly. Students literally get into fights and arguments to enroll in Ms. Davis's class!!!
Easiest class ever, dont bother to take anyone else. You will enjoy her class.
Took her class for summer session 5 weeks. Really good professor, easy class if you participate and study the study guide that she provides. Easy A, would recommend to anyone. Add the class soon because it gets full fast, people fight over the waitlist.
This professor is by far the best professor I have ever had. Still enrolled in the class and I love going to class. Absolutely recommend this teacher, she is worth the drive! Extra credit is offered, gives easy quizzes/tests, just follow her study guide and take notes. People do fight to get in her class but now I understand why SHE'S AMAZING!
DO NOT TAKE ANYONE ELSE FOR MICRO 20, SHE IS YOUR TICKET TO AN EASY A MY FRIENDS. SHE WANTS EVERYONE TO PASS WITH A GOOD GRADE AND SHE MAKES IT EXTREMELY EASY AND FUN. It's true when you hear that people fight to get into her class lol. She is absolutely great.
This was the best science class I have ever taken. Her teaching method is really amazing she applies microbiology in real life events. She truly cares for students if you have questions she does not mind to help. You do not need the book you have to study based notes of her lectures and you will pass if you study the notes 3 weeks in advanced.
I lovedddddddd her I would take her again & again & again !
you wont regret taking her
take her... trust me. only wish she taught more classes!
Basing off classes as to how professors are treating us during a pandemic. Showed up. Learned the given material. Enjoyed it. She is flexible with schedules due to asynchronous lectures. Put in the work and receive a good grade. Love her.
Professor Davis is a wonderful Professor. Unlike many others, she really cares about her students and that's the most important thing. 10/10 Professor. Very inspirational even when the class is fully online.
this is your sign to take her.
One of the best micro professor I had for this spring semester for a semi-fast pace science class (7th week term). I highly suggest taking notes on the lecture slides and lab videos too. The material is very straight forward. Revisit the lab videos to review for your lab final. Do the study guide. The study guide will be the same as your final lab.
Professor Davis is an amazing professor who cares deeply for all her students. She wants everyone to learn the material and not simply memorize it. Her class is asynchronous but she provides her own notes. She gives multiple tries for all her quizzes/exams. Her labs are also very well explained. Take her, you won't regret it.
The best microbiology professor ever! So caring towards her students and makes the information easy to understand. She makes the class enjoyable as well. She is such a great professor. Also gives 2 attempts at quizzes and some extra credit.
There aren't any words to describe how amazing this professor is. I mean I'm not surprised.. her class filled up so quick!! I took her earlier this year and I recommended a lot of my friends to take her. The way she teaches allows you to actually learn!! I wish she taught other classes too. I would take her again and again. Love this prof!
Took the lecture section with professor Belt and the lab section with professor Davis. Both in-person. Davis doesn't require much which is super nice of her. Our lab midterms were worth 100 points for five easy questions. She told us if it was up to her she would make the lab grade count as 50% of the total grade. Yay!!
Professor Davis teaches in a way where you can focus on learning and retaining information rather than spend the entire semester toiling for a good grade. She prepares pre-nursing students by providing nclex style q's on her exams. "Hardest" part of the course was the midterm but she herself said no one in her teaching career has got less than 75.
Super easy class!! She is so nice and caring! Her class is straight forward! Weekly easy lecture and lab quizes,one midterm and final.
Prof Davis is the best choice I have made. I took her for a 5 week class and she is so caring. It is the first time that she has done an online biology class and she only uses McGraw Hill/Connect. She was very understanding about the Connect issues we had. Please take her!! I would love to take her again. You can tell she cares for her students
Professor Alison Davis is awesome. She is organized when it comes to the course and what she expects. She cares about her students and always responds if you have any questions for her or if there is any issue with her online labs/quizzes/test.Just read do the quizzes, test, and labs you'll be fine. Makes learning about Bio fun without the stress.
Took this class during Fall. There was a quiz online every week (not proctored). There was no homework or discussion or anything, just one quiz a week through Canvas. She posts useful material for both lecture and lab. I wish she taught physio as well
Professor Davis' MIC20 class is a breeze! Her teaching style is engaging, and she genuinely cares about her students. With easy quizzes and tests, plus helpful study guides, you can ace this class with just a little effort. unstuckstudy is a great tool to supplement your studies.
I was very scared to take this class because of my previous experience. She made microbiology so interesting for me. Definitely recommend her! Instead of making students lives hard, she truly focuses on a fun learning experience. At the end of the semester, you find yourself knowing the material extremely well just because of her teaching technique
I took Microbiology for the Fall semester of 2024, and let me say that she is a wonderful teacher! Study her notes, which she posts on Canvas and in class, and I will assure you that you will pass the class! Her quizzes and exams are not proctored.
I took Microbiology in the Fall of 2024 with Professor Davis, and let me tell you that she is wonderful! Study her notes on Canvas and her notes in class, and I assure you that you will pass with an A. Her quizzes and exams are not proctored.
The best professor you would EVER take! It is literally impossible to fail this class. The only homework we have is a lab quiz and a test every week which is super easy. As long as you read her slides or watch her lab videos before class and go to lab, you'll get an A. Enroll ASAP because her class fills up quick!!!
she's is such a easy professor. she is willing to answer any questions/ concerns you may have. Easiest class ever. i recommend her 100%
Best Micro and easiest professor ever, her lab board notes very important, very nice and helpful lady, only thing you need to do is write down the notes carefully(Will grade notes the end). Her class was filled up very quickly, so due to the lab seats limited that she can not add that many students from waiting-list, pls make sure enroll asap!
