She makes Microbiology fun and easy to learn. If you show up for class and take notes, you won't need your book to pass. Excellent teacher.
AWESOME!!! Great professor, had fun in her class. I made an A and all i did was take the notes and study them, didnt even use my book. If you want a great teacher take her
She is charming! "Great looks help with better understanding." This teacher is great. to make an "A" in her class, u have to come to class, listen in class,and take notes(hint hint fireworks).
She is so much fun to listen to in her lectures. Go to class, write the notes, listen to her "bang bang fireworks" and you'll do fine. She is so easy to talk to and has such a positive attitude every day. She always comes in and says good morning to us. She's FABULOUS....now only if she taught bio 2..
She is a GREAT instructor really knows here stuff and the hint hint fireworks are the key to passing...Make sure you study her notes...
Mrs. Morgan is a GREAT teacher! She is one of the best teachers that I have ever had. She explains everything very well, and makes sure that you understand it. Her tests are directly from your notes. I enjoy her class alot- she makes it fun and enjoyable. If you get a chance, TAKE HER FOR BIOLOGY!
Very nice lady! Willing to help. Hint hint fireworks...study these and you will do fine. Gives extra worksheets for extra points. LOVED HER!
**HINT, HINT FIREWORKS!!!!! THIS IS WHAT SHE SAYS DURING THE POWERPOINT WHICH MEANS THAT THE INFORMATION IS ON THE TEST. TEST ARE STRAIGHT OUT OF THE NOTES SO KNOW YOU NOTES. EXELLENT TEACHER!!! WILL HELP IF YOU ASK HER FOR HELP, EVEN THOUGH SHE EXPLAINS HER SELF VERY WELL IN HER NOTES!
Best teacher ever....You wont regret taking her....best science teacher at TCC SE campus
Wonderful teacher with a great attitude. She lets you know exactly what is expected from you from day 1. HINT HINT FIREWORKS is her saying letting you know you better write it in your notes. Tests are easy and you only have one presentation.
I absolutely loved this class, if at possible take her for lab&lec! Her tests come straight from the notes so there's no need for a book, and if you feel you need a book, just go to the SLC and borrow one! Very helpful, comical, and caring prof. I'd take her again!
Excellent teacher!! you'll learn a lot!! REMEMBER HER FIREWORKS VERY HELPFUL FOR ALL TESTS IN LEC/LAB. Really didn't need the book everything came from her powerpoints! lab was hard but look over your notes and everything will be fine. also ATTEND CLASS FOR EXTRA POINTS! must give you the lift to make an A!
I loved Mrs. Morgan! She made me love biology even more; Her tests come straight from her power-point/notes so no need for buying the book. She is very clear when she explains something and will help you out in any way in lecture and lab. Easy A+ if you study just a tiny bit. I highly recommend her!
Very good micro teacher test come staright off her notes hint hint fireworks! she is very clear and not tricky had her for lab/lec both were pretty easy if u study some.I highly recomend her she tells u what u need to know for the test!!! great teacher although she seems do busy in her office hours she leaves her door closed
I Love professor Morgan. She is an excellent teacher. She gives you all the infornation that will be on the test. No tricks. She has a passion for teaching micro biology.I had her for lab/lec. Did not have a great interest in micro before her class, but I was interested in micro more than I ever dreamed I would be upon completing her class.
Great teacher, great personality. Made learning simple and fun. I am a science dummy and I made an A in her Summer class. I did what she said and printed and read all her notes. Do study whatever "hint hint fireworks" she tells you - it WILL be on the test. I recommend her.
her tests are VERY tricky! She purposely tries to trick you, she does not teach this class to be in the best interest of the student nor does she try and help you in any way. VERY BAD ATTITUDE! I would not recomend her to anyone. She never smiles shes never smiling or welcoming. I will say at times she can be funny but overall shes miserable.
Super easy online lecture. The hard part is finding an equally easy lab instructor...
She is horrible! I don't know what happened to her but she was change completely this semester. She was so not helpful all. She is so moody and mean! I am A student but I hate her.
If you read and follow instruction you will do well. She's a different type of professor but overall I enjoyed her and would recommend taking her if you want to learn.
best teacher ive ever had! i would take her for both lab and lec if you can. easiest class ever everything she said was understandable she a great teacher TAKE HER! i was so entertained in her class and never felt overwhelmed would recommend her to any one
BEST teacher I have ever had. Uses he term "hint hint fire works" to let you know exactly what is on the test. If you study what she tells you to the class will be a breeze for you.
Very tough teacher! She makes you take a bunch of notes, she never has a smile on her face, and she sounds not too happy to be lecturing. If you ask her for help in the middle of the semster, she'll blow you off and tell you that you ahould have talked to her earlier in the semester. Tests are HARD! Definet NO!
This is such an amazing teacher! I hate biolgy and she makes it so easy and her class isnt hard at all just take notes and make sure to mark down everytime she says hint hint firework! Thats your whole test. Very easy class just take notes and attend and youll pass for sure!
Very good teacher, I hated science before taking her class. She made it easy and if you just show up, take notes and pay attention you will get an A. Uses "hint hint fireworks" whenever something is going to be on the test. Loved this class.
Excellent professor. Very small use of the text. Go to class and take notes of her lectures. She does not publish her PowerPoint lecture notes. The exams are direct from her lectures. Her lab is a little more self driven and a bit harder but would take her again for either lecture or lab!
100 Question exams. You need to study your notes word for word if you want to pass the exams. Her style of teaching is a little different. Did class group presentations which turned out to be horrible.No extra credit. Was overall, an okay class. She's fair, not the best though.
Use of text book is high. She speaks in a boring monotone voice and is not clear. Her tests are aramaic compared to her lectures. Shes rude and does not want to help students. Do not take her! I loved biol before I took her class.
took during summer online...idk how she is during reg semester, but during summer, no need to buy book, test were based off notes,and they were all posted online...
Awesome teacher. She makes class as interesting as she can and she is clear about everything. I hated bio before this class and now I am genuinely interested in it. I would def. recommend her!
Super easy lab teacher he makes class fun and she is sooo helpful, just study for test from the lab book and u will pass got a B on this class and i would take her again
Mrs. Morgan is the best science teacher ever. She teaches in a way that is interesting and never boring. I love going to her class. She say hint hint fireworks during notes which means they are more likely possible to be on exam. Her class in my oppinion is easy. Bring a laptop, write notes and highlight when she gives hints and study them. Easy!
*LECTURE ONLINE*LAB @ SE* She was so great! Explained things well in Lab and had a great lesson plan for lecture online which was too easy. I had such an easy time in this class while all my friends were crying about their instructors for BIO. Will take her again.
Took micro online for Summer 2, easiest science course ever taken! No need to buy book, she gives PowerPt presentation plus notes on each chapter. Tests/quizzes done online. 2 attempts on quizzes. Easy A if you just stick to deadlines, she will not reopen tests/quizzes for you. Lab required at SE campus, took Rotibi for lab, also easy A.
Four exams (which are 98% based off her notes), very helpful if you have any questions. Don't need to buy the textbook, but it helps if you do. Don't even need to show up as long as you can get good notes from someone. She keeps class interesting and sassy. 1/2 my class got terrible grades on every exam, but all you have to do is actually study.
I took professor Morgan for Microbiology (non-science majors) for lecture and she was great! She doesn't use the textbook. She used her own notes. She says "hint-hint firework" every time something from her notes will appear on the exam. Her exams are completely based on her notes. Study those notes and you'll get an easy A!
Prof Morgan is fabulous!! She's hilarious and really knows her subject well. I enjoyed her lectures very much. Lenient with tardies!
She is soooo pretty. And easy. Hint Hint fireworks is all you need to know.
She is very good!! Recomend 100%! Her tests are straight from the notes. as long as you attend class, take notes, and study them, you will do great. The only way you could even fail is if you don't go to class and dont study the notes she gives.
Professor Morgan, is an excellent instructor. Has great knowledge about biology. Her teaching is the greatest. Her class and test are easy. You need the book for lecture test. Do all the assignment you're guaranteed an A. Always extra credit work. She let you know whats on the test by saying Hint, Hint firework. Yes, I highly recommend her.
Amazing teacher! She teaches with a passion and is very helpful. Attend lab and lecture for participation points. Tests are from notes you take in class, study them well due to tests not being easy. Lab part is great too, just show up do assignments for credit and study for lab practicals.The best way to make an A is show up & study. Love her!
VERY PASSIONATE! she deserves a raise. She is incredible and will help you. Mainly did power points and notes came from there. STUDY NOTES. The notes are the tests. She is great
She is an amazing instructor. Come to class, take note from her PowerPoint and read them well and you will do great. There were 3 exams, one take home test, and presentation and final based on questions from all presentation. attending class will help on average grade( participation100 points). i worked hard and did exactly what she asked and got an A. Her lab was fun too. unknown was the best. take her if you want to learn microbiology with fun.
She is really nice and clear in what she expects. bio is not easy but she makes it as easy as possible. There is a lot to memorize when it comes to lab exams but over nothing to hard. i would recommend her for sure.
She is worth taking! Exams are straight from the notes and tells you exactly which parts of the notes will be on the exam. She is very intelligent and makes biology interesting.
This woman saved me from failing, I was taking way too many credit hours and she definitely helped me pass her course. She can be tough on you and when preparing for tests, it can be difficult, but I'm glad she helped me finish this class! Absolutely love her!
She was super sweet and I definitely enjoyed taking her class.
I didn't learn anything that I didn't know before taking the class. She teaches like you are a highschool student. Easy class but you might not learn much if you take her.
Lab test are FILL-IN-THE-BLANK questions. Lecture test are 100 multiple choice questions. We had two group presentations in lecture. One unknown project in lab. textbook not needed for lecture . Lab manual is a must!!! You must read and study her powerpoints. Lecture test are based of those. She doesn't believe in Extra Credit!!!
Explains any question you may have. You must know what you are going to ask before hand. She will bend a little if you can find it in the book to over rule right answer.
I wish I would have taken her my first round for this course. She explains terms and subjects so anyone can understand. She sets her expectations up front and reviews for tests. If you show up and take notes, you will do well. Wish she taught the other science classes too
Professor Morgan is awesome. She lets you know exactly what to focus on by saying "hint-hint-fireworks." But if you want to get a high A on the exam make sure you study EVERYTHING in your notes because all the answers come from there. You have 4 exam (one which is take-home) and a final.
Professor Morgan is a very good professor, but she won't baby you. You need to do the work and study to get an A. I got an A, but I worked hard for it. 5 tests and a participation grade, which is worth as much as one test. One big group project, but it's fairly easy. Overall, she is funny and I would take again. "Hint-Hint Fireworks."
The answers on the exam are in the notes. Just make flash cards of them and you'll pass. With that said, textbook isn't needed unless you're planning on taking 1409. One thing I disliked was that she often dumbed-down the lectures thus making it seem as if she thought we were somewhat limited in vocabulary.
She is a great professor! Even though I'm still not into science, I did love her style of teaching !
Professor Morgan was amazing. I loved her class, she is super nice and sweet. The only thing I didn't like is the 3 presentations we had to do. Other than that the lectures were fun, not boring at all. I recommend her!
Awesome teacher! She has an infectious love for the subject, made me want to change majors (my poor math skills got in the way). Highly recommend taking her. If you want to learn, she's there to teach you, but won't do it for you, you need to put forth effort. Kept my highlighter handy for "Hint Hint Fireworks".
Hint hint fireworks. She is a very good teacher. Straightforward. You don't need a textbook because notes come from her PowerPoints, but don't miss class because she doesn't post the PPs online. Take notes because test questions are literally based of it. 4 tests with one take home and a non-comprehensive final.
Great bio teacher, clear cut on what she expects. Tests come straight from the notes so attendance is a must. 3 group projects that are easy. Last group project was fun. Test can be a little difficult if you do not study thoroughly. Overall great professor who knows her stuff.
Good professor. The only thing I disliked is that she takes time away from students' testing time to "set up the room", makes 5 versions of exam since she's obsessed with cheat-proofing. Also assigns an elaborate group presentation which is strongly emphasized, but actually just a completion grade. Weird grading system. Otherwise great professor.
Took her hybrid class, lecture online and lab on campus. Was simple and easy. Her labs were always interesting.
not bad at all
Great style of teaching. Prof Morgan always goes over what material will be on the test and tells you what is on there. We had 2 group presentations, which was ok.
I was nervous about this class but Profesor Morgan made it so enjoyable. An amazing teacher and really makes you love Micro! Take all the notes on the powerpoint and really study them and you'll pass. Very interesting class.
Very good teacher I wish she would teach 1409 so I can get that out the way but she doesn't. I learned a lot in her class. Very smart and respectful. When she says hint hint fireworks take note of that you will see it again on the test. All test are multiple choice but she makes different versions to prevent students from cheating. 3 easy projects
Professor Morgan was great! Don't miss class, or be late you will not pass. She's very strict, but as long as you study you'll be fine. She provides everything so you can learn the material. Great professor!
Hint Hint Fireworks! Professor Morgan's class was great I learned a lot and it was easy to study for her exams just take good notes, she has a group project at the end so make sure you pick a good team! I rented the book because she suggested it but I didn't really ever use it.
I had her lecture portion online and lab on campus. I liked prof morgan, she was nice and a fair grader. Highly recommend.
She was a very good teacher I wish she would teach bio 1409 but she doesn't. Hint hint fireworks when she says that you will see it again on the test. Test are all multiple choice. Group project at the end of semester as the final on the galapagos island. Best biology teacher EVER.
Know your notes! Her tests are easy as long as you know all your notes. Her lab is super easy and she is willing to help you during the experiments. Great personality. One group project, 5 tests, unknown lab paper, 3 practicals, never any homework and you don't need the connect!
Professor Morgan is so amazing! I would rec her to everyone! I took her for lecture and lab and I can't say that this class is easy, but very doable. The trick to her exams are to memorize all of your notes... VERBATIM. If you can do that, there's no way you can get anything less than an A. I would take her again and again if I could.
Outline of the class is as follows: Read a chapter, answer 10 questions, take a lab with 4-5 assignments. You will need to purchase the lab kit early. Stay ahead and you'll do just fine.
This was her first year teaching micro online, and she did a horrible job. The WHOLE class signed a petition in lab saying she was not helping the class as they needed it! Only one person made an A! Do not take online!
Took her for Microbiology online. There was no clear path laid out to what we really were going to be tested over. I went to see her and ask for guidance, I was told to read the chapter, her powerpoints and figure it out. It sounds funny, but it felt like she was mad at us for taking the class online and provided no support.
She's great! As long as you study all your notes for the test you'll do good. The test is all about the notes. I never even used my book. I beleive theres four test and 3 presentations, but they're all group presentations so it isn't that bad.
She is clear on what to expect for the tests but she does not hand out study guides or homework to help study. MEMORIZE your notes, and you will get an A. Three group presentations, (two smaller presentations and one big one) and 5 tests( the last one is over the presentations) She is good at lecturing but she doesn't go out of her way to help us.
Professor Morgan is wonderful. She challenges you but makes sure she provides all the tools necessary to be successful. She lectures in tandem with lab so the material covered is relevant at the same time. Her lectures are interesting and fun. She truly cares about your success and that shows. She's amazing. So glad I took her.
She's very funny. Very well respected. Show up to class, understand a good majority of what you're taught and you'll be fine.
I absolutely loved Professor Morgan. She was very clear from the beginning what she expected from you. Was always helpful if you asked and willing to answer any questions. As long as you study your notes and go over what she tells you to, you will pass this class. Would recommend her to anyone. Funny and very great spirit about her.
Ugh. Loveeee her. Best professor Ive had by far! Study your notes and youll do just fine. Test come from PowerPoint. I would take her again and again if I could!
Lectures were amazing, seemed excited to be there teaching us, kept topics current and interesting. Book is helpful but NOT necessary. Take notes on everything she says, its fair game for test! 3 exams over her lectures, 1 take home exam, and final over class presentations. Take for both Lec&lab if you can! You wont regret it. Funny & personable
Her class is a easy A if you take good notes from the power point and on everything she says. Her labs are clearly explained, just pay attention. She's a great teacher, i would suggest her to anyone for micro. Study! hint hint fireworks!
go to class, take notes, hint hint fireworks and you will pass.
She was an amazing professor and made me really love that class because I felt like a scientist. The only downfall is she doesn't put every assignment in as its on rather than all together in one grade which doesn't help your grade too much. Loved her class and her lectures were never boring. Definitely recommend taking her!!!
Loved the class! Not a fan of group projects but it wasn't bad at all! Clear and precise notes (from powerpoint) so use those! Book isn't necessary, just study the notes taken! Not a hard subject but don't slack off. She's a wonderful person and gets straight to the point. VERY serious about exams. I'd take her classes again in a heartbeat!
Professor Morgan made biology fun to learn. It was exciting because she makes the class interesting and keeps you engaged. Shes strict but its because she wants you to do well. Take good notes, study them, and you should be fine for the tests. There were two group presentations. Attendance and participation counts! Dont skip class :-)
Loved this non major biology class made me actually reconsider my major all together
Take her for micro!!! Take good notes over her power points and study those, always write down her HINT HINT FIREWORKS
Took Professor Morgan for lecture and she is an awesome professor! *Hint *Hint FIREWORKS!!! Shes super sweet and caring! The way she lectured made the content easier to understand. Just take good notes from PP and youll do just fine on her exams! Take her!
Professor Morgan is a WONDERFUL teacher! She is clear with what she expects from you and has good lectures. There is a group project but if you participate, youll do just fine. 10/10 recommend
The lectures last all class, but she cracks a few jokes in between to keep you engaged. All you need to do is study for the tests and you'll pass. Beware: the syllabus quiz at the beginning of the semester is actually bringing the syllabus to class!!!!
Good professor. Hint hint fireworks means it's on the test. I rented the textbook from Chegg but barely used it. Take notes from her lecture and make sure to study them before the test and you should be good. Mandatory Attendance. The labs are not hard either, just read and follow instructions. There are some group and individual projects
Her online was extremely difficult. I was lost and her directions were extremely unclear. Dont even get me started on the project... I reached out to her for help and ended up getting points taken off just for asking...
She was a responsive professor but was vague and confusing when I had questions. Class is already difficult online bc of COVID and i feel like she did not make accommodations to make it easier on the students. Really isn't good for online so I do not recommend that. I am sure she is great in person face to face though.
Professor Morgan is amazing! I took her Spring 2020 amid the COVID pandemic. We switched to online and she made the transition very smooth. She is very straight forward on what she expects from you. She makes sure you learn the material before moving on. Her HINT HINT fireworks are so helpful so look out for them! I can say she's the best I had.
I took this teacher thinking she would be a great instructor online for a 1-month course. She does no effort to teach. All she gets paid is to post announcements. She doesn't provide online class meetings or anything to help with studying. Your better off finding a teacher who is willing to put the effort and not take it as an okay for a vacation.
I took her based on decent past reviews before Covid made everything online. BIG MISTAKE! She gives no study guides, no lecture videos AT ALL for the chapters, and literally no direction what so ever. I passed A&P 1 and 2 with As, and so I would say I am a great studier, but with no direction from the teacher I was unable to complete this class.
Do NOT take her for online class! Biggest mistake Ive ever made. She doesnt want students to pass because she takes down all the material after the week is over so you cant study! Her directions are very unclear and she is not helpful over email at all. I am a great student and made As in A&P, but had to drop this class she was so bad.
Micro is a tough class, but this is doable! Prof Morgan is very organized and thorough and as long as you follow the syllabus you'll be fine. Everything is laid out step by step, there's no way you won't do well in this class. She responds to emails within minutes usually.
Halfway through and struggling despite efforts. Harsh grader and inflexible. Gives no extensions unless inclement weather or mass emergency. Responds to emails but very surface level responses. Textbook is complex and wordy.
Micro is hard. Unless you already know everything. Professor Morgan is great bc she always responds and helps with what you need. All you have to do is reach out to her and she responds as soon as she can. Expect to read and listen to her lectures bc she gives you the clues and what to focus on the exam. Thanks Professor Morgan!
Out of the 3 professors I've had this sem. she is by far the worst. Very hard grader, no flexibility. If you want to struggle take her class. assignments are due at 9:00 not a minute later or she'll fail you. I wouldn't be surprised if I failed her course. she is completely overbearing with assignments and carries no remorse.
Did not want to help students or work with anyone who struggled with criteria. Gave hope that grades would get better with more studying and failed me with a 68. Tough grader. Very dry
hard. thats all
If you expect any Microbiology class to be easy, I would question your life choices. MCB is supposed to difficult. We are headed into medical professions! This Prof was consistent, always available and gave a TON of extra credit assignments to make sure that we all kicked this course in the teeth! If you are lazy or entitled, you will not do well.
She explains everything very well and walks you through what needs to be done. Of course science courses are not made to be easy but she tries her best to make sure that you pass. I would take her class again
Micro is a very hard class BUT she wants you to pass and understand the material. I had to retake this class and decided on Prof. Morgan, which I am very glad I did. She was amazing!!
Honestly take her
Prof. Morgan is a great lecturer, but my experience was majorly hindered by the confusing mess that is TopHat + Canvas. For some assignments, we used our lab journal that we got when purchasing the online course material. Some assignments were to be done directly on TopHat. It was never really clear what was due and when, so good luck with that...
I love professor Morgan. I had her for lecture microbiology(I had someone else for micro lab). She's considerate, organized, good at lectures, funny, and amazing overall. Her lecture exam questions are coming from the class notes. So as long as you study and attend lectures you will be fine.
I had professor Morgan for my microbiology lab during a 4 week summer course and she was amazing! Microbiology is challenging, but she explains everything clearly and has a clear grading criteria. I had 8 quizzes, lowest quiz grade was dropped, assignments to do online which are very easy and two lab practicals. Take her if you have the chance too!
Do not take her for online class ,she is completely confusing about where to study's ,she will tell you to focus on the PowerPoint and you will get hundreds of questions on the exam coming from the text book ,her power point missing a lot of information needed to be successful in microbiology class ,biggest mistake taking her class .
I have her for lab, the way she teaches is not my favorite. At first it seems cool and fine but then you start to realize towards the quizzes and tests you're not learning what/like you're supposed to in class. We just run through the experiments quickly and move on to the next. Her class isn't difficult per say but we're also not learning much
She is very kind, i'll give her that. Apart from that, this class feels rushed and I don't learn anything. More like she doesn't teach effectively. To learn, you have to take it upon yourself & teach it all yourself to stay on track. With that being said, she grades really harshly and expects you to know everything to get the good grades.
I took her for microbiology this fall semester and it was not hard as I thought it would be. The class was not so heavy as expected and she is not a harsh professor. She kind of just let us do our own thing in lab and had us be guided by the lab manual. Overall, I would take her again.
She is the worst professor I have taken at TCC. She is very disorganized and you have no clue what to study for any exams. I am a straight A student and this is the only class I've had to withdraw from. She is also very vague and disrespectful when you email her. I'd run as far away as I could from her. It's absolutely ridiculous.
