He explains things OK to the class but is very fast paced. This class is by far the hardest I have ever taken. His exams are very difficult and unpredictable. He is very knowledgeable and answers questions to your satisfaction, but I'm not sure I would recommend him unless you have a strong biology background or if you are an independent learner.
The person who wrote before is not correct. Microbiolgy is a tough class dr. greene helps you wherever he can. I took his class and got the highest grade in all sections. The class is tough the dude is good
he's the man

This Professor is not fair at all. If he likes you....You'll pass if not ......watch out. His tests sucks, teaching methods are not effective and his jokes....corny. Women, please don't let the so-called good looks clog your judgement that he's a good Professor. Students are getting good grades due to butt kissin' time.
SAME YOURSELF SOME TIME AND EFFORT AND BYPASS HIM AT ALL COSTS. yOU'LL BE PLEASED YOU TO HAVE CHECKED THIS RATING!!!!
Dr. Greene is a very fair and patient person. Although his class is challenging he is very helpful and SI is very helpful. If you want to learn take Dr. Greene, if you don't take someone else
no comprehensive overview on whats testable...hardest class i ever took! Gives mounds of information but no overview. Good luck
Dr. Greene is one of the greatest teachers at Wayne State and Wayne County Community College, his class is not that hard, he is so helpful, and dedicated to helping his students understand. I feel that people take his class out of proportion, they try to scare you into thinking his class is so hard, but it's Not!!! He is not favoritism, he likes al
YOU WILL DEFINITELY EARN EVERY GRADE
HE IS A GREAT PROF AND AND CARE ABOUT THE EDUCATION OF HIS STUDENTS. HIS IS NOT A BREEZE THROUGH CLASS, ITS A LITTLE TOUGH BUT IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON GOING INTO THE MEDICAL FIELD YOU WILL GREATLY APPRECIATE TAKING THIS CLASS. I GOT AN A! THANKS DR.GREENE----GOING TO WAYNE STATE MEDICAL SCHOOL IN A FEW YERAS, GREAT CLASS, TAKE DR.GREENE
The subject is hard, but he actually teaches it, and teaches it well. Lecture is very clear. Probably one of the best teachers I've had...though he is not lenient.
excellent teacher, truly wants to see you learn. you must apply yourself, if you do, you will be pleased with the end result.
Dr.Greene was the best teacher I have had at WCCCD! he is so personable and he teaches the material well, had him for micro, would recommend!
Very good professor, one of the few that I have had that really knows how to teach & knows his stuff & is excited about the subject. Would highly recommend him if you really want to learn something, but the class requires you to put in a good amount of time & read the chapters assigned, that will be helpful..because he does test on the reading, too
Prof Greene is a flirt. lol. jk. He's a really great professor, probably the best professor that I've ever had. He really wants you to learn the information, and breaks it down very well. His exams are no surprise. They are tough, but he instructs well so if you do the work, you'll be fine. The lab is the same way. Definitely Recommend.
Come prepard for this instructor. He is very much into teaching you about biology. He does not half step and wants you to learn what he brings to the class.
he a good teacher
He lectures too fast. Microbiology is a hard subject, he throws too much information at us. Lab is fun though.
If you take his class, amke sure it's your only class ecause his class requires a lot of work.
I had this professor for Bio 155. He is a bit of challenge but as long as you work hard you will be ok. I recommend that you get well aquainted with blackboard because thst is how all the quizzes are administered. His tests are really hard but as long as you do well on everything else it should be fine. Just read and take good notes.
not a hard teacher will help u if u help yourself my grade was on me I dont study at all so my bad
not a hard teacher will help u if u help yourself my grade was on me I dont study at all so my bad. good class to have
I had the pleasure of taking him and although he was a challenge, he was still fun. He had great charisma and an overall great personality. There was one major request he had...READ!!! Any reading material could be on the tests. Put in the work and you will pass his class.
I have him as a Microbiology professor. While I may not be receiving an A or anything close to one in his class, he is still a great teacher. He's fun and gets you involved in the experiments and WANTS you to learn. You won't pass if you didn't learn. I will be taking this class over and with him as my proff.
Dr.Greene --- Very good teacher hands down! I recommend for students to not get tied into his sarcasm and jokes because they will throw you off- lol, Seriously! Overrall you MUST READ, thats is how you will PASS! And ASK QUESTIONS! Don't matter if its stupid or not (it really does) but if you do not understand, it will not hurt to ASK! I recommend!
follow his teaching. attend class regularly and submit homeworks on time you will be his favorite. teaching style is excellent. very clear and interesting. he is funny and nice guy.easy A if you study the way he teaches.
He says atten not mand, it is. He teaches for students at a higher level. U can tell he has rece a lot of criti because he tries to hit every note early. He throws a lot at u. he thinks he has everyone sized up. He makes you do a lot of writing, it helps, but everything with him is time consuming and he wants to finish the whole book, sometimes th
u shuld read before 1st class but needs to teach the basics well before throwing everything else. wont change style to reflect class. good teacher but inability to tailor to the class is why cannot recommend in general.
if going for nursings avoid will prob mess up GPA.Most of class took him 2+ times and are going on 3 times and one on 4th unless she gets a clue and takes someone else. seems easy going isnt, he just doesnt want you to drop because it will reflect badly. He's dept head.He wrote most of the pos post. his style
will mess up GPA.Most of class took him 2+ times get a clue and takes someone else.seems easy going isnt, doesnt want drop will reflect badly. He's dept head.He wrote most of the pos post. his style
I loved this class and found it very interesting. You will work very hard for an A!!! If you do not read the text book then forget about taking this proff. I thought he was great and was really funny! I love how he tells everyone to read and they don't and they wonder why they are failing or seeing him next semester. Great educator, work for your $
HIS CLASS WAS HARD BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE... READ THE BOOK, STUDY HARD, AND TAKE NOTES ON WHAT HE SAYS IN CLASS...
Hard teacher, you must do lots of reading to keep up. However, just when you think you are not doing well, he curves the grades. Hated him at first because he is very arrogant, but he grows on you by the end of the semester. I got an A but worked hard for it.
READ AND STUDY and you will pass. Do not mess around or you will fall behind QUICK.He is tough but not impossible. I enjoyed learning from him as he has passion, and that is important.
love dr.greene but you are gonna work your butt off!!! if you wanna learn take him if u need a easy a take someone else!!!!
He is very arrogant and when u ask him a question he talks at you and doesnt really want to answer the question. Very hard to deaL with in general he had a nickname for eeryone in the class very unprofessional! Every class period for lab he had a speech on how we werent doing what we were suppose to be. DONT TAKE HIM!
GREAT teacher. You actually learn. It's hard, but not impossible. It's what a college course should be like. If you want to learn, take him.
Dr. Greene's class was not a piece of cake. You had to study on a regular basis. Dr. Greene lectures were informative and usually involved his "sense of humor" lol! but, seriously overall a good no nonsense pro fessor who awards grades by what you earn and he is quite handsome too! Dr. Greene rocks!!!
Extremely hard class, but an excellent professor. He tells you everything you need to know, BUT you MUST read the material in order to pass his tests. Class was never boring, and he will always keeps you on your toes. Would recommend him to serious students.
This is one of the best professors I have ever had. He will explain everything to you in a humours manner. Do exactly what he tells you.He is Student friendly. Take him nomatter what he is well worth the extra gas/milage. I loved him and his class.
BEST Teacher! You need to be ready to work but it will be worth it. His lectures are filled with info & he always made me laugh. He expects a lot out of his students! For the first time ever, I didn't want to let a teacher down! You will love him!
Informative, fun @ times
good teacher
down to earth guy, good listner
I love Mr. Griggs and I truly learned alot from his class. He is a great professor!!!! Take his class!!!
Come to every class to get a full understandin. Gives out alot of extra credit DO IT ALL! Puts everythin on blackboard Not an easy A. Dont sleep on the material come in serious and focused from day1. Greene is an excellent teacher u will learn tons. Hes a walkin Bio book. Ask ?s will explain in detail 2u. Has a smart mouth at times cant b sensitive
He is an amazing guy! show up to class and do the work and you will pass! he wants you to learn and know everything like the back of your hand!! its not an easy A but well worth the work!!! I can say if i have the chance i will take any class they offer with him!! you will learn!!!
Dr. Greene is a cool and a very knowledgeable man. He cracks jokes, is funny, and definitely will make you laugh, BUT he will also fail you at the same time, he wants his students to learn. He is not an easy A, but he offers tons of extra credit. If you do it all, it will boost your grade tremendously. It helped me get an A.
Good instructor, knows his material; if you study and read read read - do all the assignments including extra credit you will pass with an A or B. He does not accept late work. He knows the material and will spend extra time teaching you.
I took Dr Green, he was great. I have absolutely no complaints about him. Receiving an A out of his class is very possible.
Dr. Green was absolutely amazing. I had such a wonderful time in his class. He is very intelligent. He really makes a great connection with students who are willing to learn. He will help you out as much as possible but you need to help yourself too. It i is a very challenging class but take advantage of ALL the extra credit. An A is very possible.
I had taken Dr.Green the summer of 2006 and he was one of the best professor I've ever had at WCCCD. An amazing teacher and a great asset to the students and to the college. When you take Dr.Green be ready to be challenged and learn. Because he's going to teach you just have to be ready to receive his offering. And he can tell who reads the book.
I had high hopes for Dr. Green, but he was brutal. Tests are very hard. He teaches his students at a graduate level. If you are not a quick learner or naturally gifted in science subjects do NOT take him. He will make you feel stupid if you have a hard time understanding his lectures or lab exercises. This class requires a lot of work.
He is inconsiderate and way to tough
Dr. Greene is no joke ladies& gentleman,Expect to work & memorize ur butt off! But i loved it, he has an inspiring passion for teaching micro. This is no easy class but he'll answer anything & will make sure u understand! expect detailed exams guys. Amazing professor makes u not only learn but learn to love it too. Ive never had to work so hard b4!
Dr. Greene expects a lot of his students, does not give a study guide, however he lectures on everything you need to know. He is always willing to give help and there was a ton of extra credit. Be prepared to read the text, but if you fail you just didn't try AT ALL
Dr. Greene is a cool professor, he actually lecture you and go over all his notes. The tests are explanatory just study and read. He grade base on what you turned in. He does offer extra credit. He jokes but you will learn.
DO NOT take this class. He is the head of the Science department for WCCC so just take it elsewhere. TWO labs a week, write very detailed lab reports and pre lab reports-FIRST day, write a paper- APA format w/PowerPoint slides, read the book meticulously, blackboard work, stay late EVERY single lab AND the lab is SO HOT, you pour sweat, literally.
When you walk into his class he tells you few people get A's. That is a huge red flag. He also tells you that its equivalent to a Wayne State University class. When you go into the lab, two times a week, he will embarrass you if you are not quick enough to find what is on the slides . Take Microbiology at O.C.C, they have student instructors.
He is a tough grader but fair. Be sure to do all of the extra credit that is offered to you. You will need to purchase books to have access to extra credit materials. If you study his notes and do all of the extra credit you will get an A. He has high expectations by you can meet them.
I have NO idea why he has a high rating. All science classes I have A's. I didn't get a bad grade. I paid extra money to leave the class, no kidding. That's how bad it was. He's very arrogant and expects you to know as much as he does. I watched him embarrass people who asked questions and that was enough for me. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. DO NOT!
Dr. Greene expects a lot but you can do it. He sets the bar high. Extra credit is offered and he gives second chances. Labs are graded hard. Tests are hard but curved. Lots of reading to keep up. Hard but worth it. He'll make you a better student. Class is interactive and fun. Highly reccommend. Very in the loop about research projects.
Hope your not squeamish because you have to cut that baby pig no matter what. Do the connects. It helps. Tests are hard. He is the head of the department so be ready for some real work.
Why take a teacher with a bad, arrogant attitude when you can take Brem and if you do your work, you dont get hassled? This guy lets you know by his whole attitude that he is the head of the department, besides the fact that he will tell you a million times. You will see. I have all A's in science andI hated the class. BAD.
Hard subject in general no matter what teacher you take. I had so many people tell me NOT to take him and I did anyway. Ended up getting a "B" in his class and was 20points away from an "A". He is really not that bad just do your work and study! Its possible to get a good grade. P.S I took his class and A&P1 at the same time!
If you are preparing for to go further in science he is definitely the person to take! His class will set an excellent foundation to progress in an scientific field. You will pass the class if you read, come to class, and complete your assignments. He provides A LOT of extra credit assignments so there is NO REASON TO FAIL! Buy the books w/ codes!
If you all want to have fun take his class. The class feels like a family. You gotta put a lil extra but whatever you will learn from this class will stay with you life long. He is like more like a father. I am taking him for microbiology next semester, daa best
Dr. Greene was definitely a character. You have lots of opportunities for extra credit, you just have to take your time to do them. The lab reports are a little tedious and he wants them in the format he states. Tests are not super hard, but still up there. Pretty understanding and helpful if you ask him for help. Will need the book
I took Dr. Greene for micro. He was so great! Hilarious, but he made sure we learned the material at the same time. If you cheat, you WILL NOT pass. He knows everything that goes on. He felt like a father, and I had a great understanding of Micro when leaving his class. If i could i would definitely take him again. He genuinely loves his students.
Grade of a D received, though I attended this last whole spring semester! He is Not clear in determining decisions for assignments! If you do not do Extra Credit assignments it will hurt your grade even though he tells you it wont! Very mischievous about showing test grades and wont let you sign in til lab class is over, EACH TEST 150 PTS! 100 Q
One of the best instructors out there!! If I could I would take him again and again he makes you work for your grade.A lesson learned from his class is you have to read your textbook to pass . I really appreciate him I now know how to be a good student lol . Study study study and you will pass the class . He is worthy taking if you ready to learn
Great professor that offers TONS of extra credit. He changes his mind a lot and gets side-tracked during lecture which is probably my chief (but, only) complaint. He makes it very clear that as long as you read ahead of time and come to lab you will do well.
Great professor and he explains the concepts very clearly and simply. He give you feedback and he is a walking encyclopedia. If you work hard and honestly you will get an A for sure. By the end of semester you will know something for sure about Microbiology.
Wonderful class. Learned much.
Great professor! His funny and is very passionate about his class. You have to attend his class and make sure you take good notes. In order to pass this class you have to give it your 100%. He cares about his students and wants you to get your moneys worth. And also, remember, any late homework; DEDUCT!
Dr. Green excellent professor. If you dont have lot of time to study, please do not take him. You will be fail.
If you dont put in the work or effort it will reflect. I admit I wasnt too confident at first. The material can be a bit much. But if you continue to persevere & dont give up I guarantee you will get the grade you deserve. Biggest lesson I learned from Dr. Greene is to never give up, greatness awaits! Thank you to an awesome professor!
This is my first science class in so many years, and this professor is by far the best. Yes this class is difficult but its a very hard course anywhere you go. Read before lectures, come to class with questions, and record if necessary. He is very welcoming with anybody that wants to learn. He is very knowledgeable and educated.
Whats wrong with people? Hes annoying. He nags and is not a good teacher. He goes on and on and if you dont know something, he exploits it. He doesnt give clear guidelines and does not like to repeat himself. Tests do not reflect his teaching. He gets off on making you sweat. Its a hard subject but he makes it worse. No study guides or hw.
Good Professor actually cares if you learn it's best if you familiarize yourself with the chapter and the materials before class then at least you'll have some kind of understanding in class you MUST TAKE THE TIME TO STUDY if not it will show I had him online and he was very thorough MILK HIM FOR INFO IF YOU CAN he knows his stuff
would not take this professor, hes not a fair grader and no tests can be dropped. choose another professor who will help you understand whats going on in the course. very rude. there was no option for 0 stars
Dr Greene is one of the best professors Ive ever had in the college. Just get ready to work with him till the end and you wont regret it. The lecture seems so overwhelming in the beginning cos of the work load but keep pushing and youll get there. Be sure to do all the extra credits for a good grade.
He gives alot of homework. its over bearing He knows his stuff but he doesnt like answering your questions he likes to speed ahead he doesnt give a study guide with the amount of work he expects you to remember and do. Hes outrageous
Love him!!! He truly makes you work for your grade. He can recognize the students who are truly trying their best, so dont be lazy. Show up, record the lectures, complete the lab assignments and you will pass. You have to try extremely hard to fail. He is amazingly intelligent and will make you laugh. He is harsh but only because he cares!
Dr Greene is a very straight shooter. Whatever guidelines he sets WILL BE FOLLOWED TO THE LETTER. He does care about your grade and is very pleased when students participate and show understanding of the material. Responded promptly to emails, extra credit helps but not much.
Don't let the other reviews scare you off. Prof Green is a good teacher, just expects you to put in the work, so don't go in expecting an easy A. This is what I suggest to do well: Review the study guides DO ALL THE EXTRA CREDIT Participate in class !! If you put in the effort you will do well!
READ. READ. READ. Dr. Green is an amazing professor. Passionate about his work and he loves to talk. Please read ; it really does help a lot to be prepared for his questions because he will ask you. And again, next question, and again lol. & lastly do ALL THE EX CREDIT! It pays off. MicroB is hard anyway- with anyone. Have fun!
Well, in this class I felt so lost and then when I ask questions, I felt like I was made out to be stupid. Then when you do something wrong or forget something it was a joke.
Come to class prepared and ready to discuss the assigned chapters. His PowerPoints are extremely helpful and he highlights what material is going to be on the exam. NEVER MISS LAB & the CONNECT extra credit will save your grade if you are struggling in the class. He sometimes lets students use a cheat sheet for exams which was pretty cool.
He admitted he changed for my semester and decided to make it harder than his previous classes. We understood everything in the lecture and studied hard but when it came down to the tests he would use the most complex language almost intentionally trying to fail us. Half the class dropped by the end and everyone was disappointed by their grade.
Pay attention, be ready to read and study the material. Don't miss a lab!
He is a very good teacher, the class is just hard. You can definitely pass though but you do need to put in the work. If you think you can pass by doing the smallest amount of work possible, you are wrong. This class is just difficult.
He is a good guy, but the class is very very difficult. I haven't finished the class yet but I am hoping for a C because can NOT take this class again.
Had him for BIO 155/295 & got an A in both. Great teacher but class is difficult (any micro course is). You have exams every 3 ch. & labs 2x a week. Keys to passing include doing the Connect extra credit HW (this will help you study & 5 pts add up).Review the ch. ppt notes which summarize the textbook reading. Lasting, do the lab reports right away
If I knew how hard this guy was I would have never ever taken this class with him. First off the exams are HARD. He's a tough grader when it comes to lab reports. Just don't even take this class with him don't do it. He's nice I guess but he makes the class harder than it should be. And btw he knows that he makes his class hard and he doesn't care
Don't do it just don't. He sets you up to fail, doesn't have any remorse for any students. Half the class dropped because of him. He makes the class way harder than it should be. Trust me don't take this class with him.
Don't fall for these good reviews. This professor is the worst I have ever seen. He gives a study guide on what the exam going to be like, and on the test he does something different. Just choose a different professor that ain't like him to save you guys time.
I definitely feel like he makes this course harder than it needs to be. Its already a difficult course and you need to dedicate a lot of time to study and prepare. The lecture exams have trick questions, Lab exams are open-ended questions, DO THE EXTRA CREDIT. go to lecture. This class is doable if you have the time and drive to study constantly
Unfortunately, he isn't very respectful. Asking a question will be answered with sarcasm and narcissism. Students become discouraged form asking questions. Study guides are useless, and his lectures are scattered and difficult to follow. Sometimes he just flat out won't answer a simple, valid question. Very strange. Seems tired of teaching
Worst professor, do not take him, I am barley hanging on by a thread mentally in his class. He does not want to see you succeed. He thrives off the fact he knows more than you. He is so insulting saying "this is easy stuff" NO IT IS NOT. he likes to see students struggle. I hate my life in his class. For your sanity, TAKE A DIFF PROF
Not helpful whatsoever, more than half the class dropped. If you have no responsibility, no kids, no job, no life, you MAY POSSIBLY be able to pass this class, if you have any of the above- you will fail. He expects you to become doctors of microbio and pushes students too hard. He is extremely unfair. BEWARE
Do not read one more review...Take a diff professor...you will fail this course if you take him
Ill paint the picture. 2 weeks left of the semester, we have a lecture exam of 3 chapters, a final lecture exam that is cumulative, an Unknown project, a lab final that is open-ended questions CUMULATIVE, he assigned a lab assignment and 3 chapter extra credit assignments that take a whole day (usually more) to finish one. Does that soundgood2U?
Think of all the bad qualities that a professor could be,,,times it by one million and you have curtis greene
He is a great professor!
Dr. Greene is such an amazing professor and I highly recommend him for any science course needed!!
Dropped his class same day just because of how rude and sarcastic he was as a professor, I don't recommend him as a professor your experience may be different but just alone off the first day of meeting him and first day attending this school, was awful 10/10 I don't recommend.
Dr Greene is an amazing professor, with a great sense of humor. His personality made me want to attend lecture. Microbio is a difficult class, and he doesnt cherry coat it. However he provides the necessary material to succeed, including study guides for all tests, as well as labs. One of the best professors ive taken at WCCCD
Class grade 60% lecture 40% lab Never in my life have I ever been to a lecture so pointless you go he teaches you what isn't on the test then ask for constructive criticism about why people are doing bad than puts the blame on you He's a good guy but bad professor overall
Dr. Greene class was a great one. Just be prepared to work for your grade. By the end of the class you will have a great understanding of Microbio if you do the work. You're not gonna pass the class if you are looking for an easy A. He makes sure that when you leave his class, you learn something. Turn in your labs on time or he will DEDUCT! lol
Dr. Greene is a living Science book, sit in the front, Ask lots of questions. Compare his lecture with the book and you will pass. Do all of your extra credit, record your Lab
This class is tough, but using resources like unstuckstudy along with the textbook can help you manage the challenging exams and lab reports. The professor expects a lot, but if you put in the work, you can succeed.
With all do respect I love Dr. Greene as a person. I took him years ago and had to take him twice. I do not suggest taking his class. I did not enjoy him as a professor. He was very sarcastic, lectures are pointless it teaches you nothing on the test. He dresses nice and seems that's all he is interested in.
I do not recommend Dr. Greene. If he cared about his lectures matching his test the way he does about that Cadillac he drives and suites he wear he would be an Excellent Professor. Dr. Greene stands up and make lecture easy for him. He has been repeating the same stuff for years and nothing matches the hard test he gives. Don't waste your time.
Very sarcastic disrespectful and there will be favouritism
Easiest Professor in my life. Gives out open book every exam the people who rated him bad is the people who fail and didn't even try on this class
easy, just gotta study.
Mr Greene does not care about you as a student. He's an awful teacher. He laughed at you and make fun of you in front of class. if you are a slower learner like myself. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS.
He wants his students to think and pass!!! He is not a easy A but a possible one!
