Cynthia is a great instructor. She's very clear, gives great explanations and descriptions, and is a lot of fun.

Cynthia is passionate about microbiology. More instructors should be like her. She expected a lot and knew how to excite us to learn. Great job! I wish I could take more classes with her.

Wonderful teacher! I would highly recommend her for any science course.

This was a fun intro course to cell biology. Compared to the other bio instructor, Berger, she is much more precise and informative. She knows her stuff and makes sure you understand it as well! She made the class fun.

GREAT Professor!! Just loved her!! SHe is passionate and Knows her stuff and delivers well!! Wish she taught all of my classes

Cynthia is the best teacher I've ever had, and I have attended a Big 12 University. She loves what she does and knows her stuff. She cares about each individual student and takes the time to address them individually. I wish I could take more classes from her! AWESOME! TAKE HER CLASSES!

Cynthia is a great teacher - very prepared and real-life material oriented. Drawing from her personal experience, the class and lab included a great deal of material that can directly be applied to healthcare professions. Be prepared for quite a bit of work.

great class, great teacher. i took the 8 week class, couldn't miss ANY time, but who would want to anyway!

Ms. Schauer is the BEST teacher I have had hands down. I have attended several universities and many community colleges. She is fair, caring, and helpful. This definately doesn't mean easy. You have to work for a good grade but she is there to assist you and encourage you all the way. She makes biology FUN!!! Who would have thought?

GREAT PROF...really cares about students, very knowledgeable, if u put in the time, she will do everything in her power to help you. she will spend a whole lecture talking about one thing in cell biology if it helps you to understand micro. It is a very difficult class,but if u put in the time you can do well, and it will help you esp in ur work

Very caring teacher. She is always there when you have a question or need help. She makes teaching and her students a priority. The class is hard and a lot of work, but Cynthia is a great teacher

You will walk away with almost too much knowledge of Microbiology if you take her class. She expects a lot out of her students so keep up with the work. Take advantage of her availability it will only help you. Her class is a lot of work, but I will not forget the things I've learned.

Cynthia is an amazing professor. She works very hard to be available and to make sure that we understood what was expected of us. I really enjoyed her class. There is a lot of work, but this isn't high school!

She is the best teacher I have ever had. She makes her class fun and interesting. Her class is alot of work, at times seems overwhelming. However she is always there to help.

very passionate about this class. wants you to be as passionate and willing to help you succeed.

Great teacher, Knows her biology. And she is HOT HOT HOT,

This class was really hard! But, the teacher was helpful. Good thing I passed the course. Overall Ms. Cynthia is a great person.

She is very knowledgeable and she tries very hard in the lab to make sure everyone understands. I would advise going to the study table as it is a great place to get any extra answers. Also be creative on the poster board -- she wants to see something unusual, not the effectiveness of vinegar on microbial growth.

Excellent instructor. She clearly loves what she does, and she cares about the students. It's a hard subject, but she tries to explain in a way that is practical. I highly recommend her!

Micro with Cynthia was frusturating at times, the class and content is difficult but Cynthia is amazing and if you put in the time she will help you get thru it.....I still remember the content a year later...And the nights I stayed up studing.

Super helpful! Very comfortable feel! If anyone had problems understanding something she would go over it again and make sure everyone knew what she was talking about and super friendly!

She is an AMAZING teacher! The class is pretty difficult, but if you are prepared to work hard, you will learn a ton! The class was required for me, and I'm very glad it was! Very geared toward nursing and premed students.

Great instructor. She loves the subject and cares about the students.

Cynthia does a great job explaining the material. The work for class and lab is explained clear and she is always there to answer any questions you may have. She truly cares for her student, like no other professor I ever had.

I'll warn you that the first day of class you are going to feel overwhelmed. A lot is thrown at you at once, but you'll find that this class is not hard if you have prior biology experience. Cynthia is a very sweet lady and cares about her students. She explains things well and is passionate about her work. The class is very interesting.

Cynthia made microbiology super interesting and helped relate subject matter to real life. She's very funny and extremely resourceful. There is a large workload for this class but Cynthia's organization helps a lot.

I loved Cynthia. She was a great teacher. If you need help ask her! She wants you to pass the class it she wants you to challenge yourself. I found a new found interest in microbiology after taking this course. However the book doesn't match up to lectures very well so GO TO CLASS!

Cynthia is a fantastic teacher, passionate about the subject, and clarity of teaching!

Cynthia was a good professor! Hadnt knowing anything about microbiology prior to this course, she made it really fun and pretty easy. I did not use the book very often, and her exams were based right off of lecture notes. Probably my favorite class of the semester and really learned a lot!

Fantastic teacher. The subject isn't easy but she is there for you all semester. Very fair. Great class.

This class isn't easy but it isn't hard if you put a moderate amount of time and energy into it. You will come out with a working knowledge of microbiology. Cynthia is an excellent teacher with a clear passion and wealth of knowledge of the subject.

This class isn't easy but it also isn't hard if you are ready to put in a moderate amount of work. Cynthia is an excellent teacher but you have to be willing to do some critical thinking; she is not just going to feed you answers.

Cynthia is an excellent teacher and is very fair. She does expect you to work and do some critical thinking. You cannot coast in this class and still do well.

Cynthia is AWESOME!! I never write these reviews but I wanted to for this class because she is fabulous! She actually makes the subject material make sense! She has a real passion for what she teaches! Shes very prompt at answering emails and is EXTREMELY helpful!! I am hoping to have her again as an instructor!

Cynthia is an awesome instructor!! I am sad this will be my last class with her! I took her for both Cell Biology and Microbiology and really enjoyed her class! She is super smart and really cares about the students doing well, and wont let you give up!! Her lectures are interesting, and labs are so much fun!

Professor Schauer is a passionate, compassionate person. She is patient beyond measure and helps students succeed. She fosters a place of learning, not just spitting out the right answers. Schauer encourages questions, not just perfection. She takes classes out of her profession so she understands being clueless!Awesome person in and out of class!

Cynthia is a very good professor. She is very passionate in her work and knows her stuff. If you don't put in the work and don't study you will not do well in this class. She is the one of the best instructors at KVCC.

Cynthia is a very great instructor, she really does her best to get everyone involved! I enjoyed her class very much, but I'm not much of a morning person. So my brain was only half awake! Very sweet lady!

Cynthia will see you for what you are. Don't take her classes if they're a check in the box for your degree program. But if you're passionate, and actually care about the subject matter, Cynthia is an incredible leader help you realize your goals. She WILL let you know if you aren't cut out for the field. Which is a much needed trait in a teacher

I loved Cynthia and the way she taught her class. She lets you know she's there for you the whole way through. You definitely won't float through cell biology because it's not an easy subject but if you do the work as she suggests and participate in class you'll be fine. She's so passionate about what she teaches, a truly awesome professor.

Cynthia doesn't play, she expects you to pre-read the material before coming to class each day. Then in class she expects participation. She will ask you questions. She tries to guide u to the answer but is often confusing how she does it. She was very helpful outside of class. She seems intimidating but is truly a kind soul. Ask & she will help.

Cynthia really makes sure you know she is there to help you at anytime. She even came to our study group on a Sunday in her personal time. She expects you to work at learning, not just show up. Anyone saying she's a bad professor wasn't willing to put the work in. Tests are a little tricky, be careful.

She is the sweetest professor, she is kind of difficult but if you listen and study you will be fine.

You have to make sure that you attendant class throughout the entire 8 weeks. Lecture is something that you don't want to miss because almost every week you have a quiz due that's based off lecture. Taking notes is always the best so that you can go over your notes and be sure to pass your quiz. Didn't use the book as much so i wouldn't get it.

Cynthia was a great teacher! She always answered your questions without making you feel like an idiot,like most teachers. She was so understanding and caring!! She is also funny, which is a plus! Apply yourself and you shouldn't have one problem!

This professor takes the time to invest in her students even outside of the classroom semesters later. She is kind, caring, and very compassionate. I took her for micro and it was a lot however she was willing to explain things. I would love to have her as a professor again if I had to take more science classes. She is one of a kind.

This course is tough and she expects a lot out of you. You need to put in extra time outside of class and dedicate yourself. Follow the study guides and go more in depth and you will be fine. Shes awesome and very passionate, which is inspiring. Shes approachable and helps to keep everyone organized. Ive learned a great deal from her.

Cynthia is one of the best professors ive ever had. She is extremely caring, and will go out of her way to help. Micro is a very challenging course, but if you are willing to put in the effort it wont be as bad.

Cynthia Schauer is THE most competent instructor I have had at KVCC. I am a 5th year senior at WMU and I've taken a few classes here to get credit on the cheap. From my experience, she teaches a rigorous course on par with university standards. If you value the quality of your education, look no further. Cynthia knows her stuff extremely well.

She was hard for me to follow, the lecture notes/videos seemed a bit sloppy. She definitely cares about her students and holds them to a high level. Which I am very thankful for because I know classes will be harder than this and she wants to prepare you. As long as you apply yourself you will do just fine.

This was an online-hybrid class; we only met for lab. She is very nice and funny. Extremely smart and wants you to succeed. I struggled at first, but if you take this professor, be sure you utilize her lectures+visualizer videos, where she draws out what is happening in the cell. HELPED CHANGE MY GRADE COMPLETELY! Lenient with grading.

Cynthia was honestly one of the best professors I've had. I took this online and met in person for lab. She is so motivating and truly wants her students to succeed. I wouldn't have wanted to take this class with any other professor. Put in effort and you will do fine. Ignore the bad reviews, she's the best!!!!

She was a very kind professor and I absolutely loved her class. I wish she would have gone into more detail on some things but I feel like I was able to get a good base on what I was supposed to be learning.

She is an amazing teacher but the class is very difficult. Make sure you are ready for a lot of homework with weekly quizzes and 4 exams. Even if you do great on the homework/quizzes, beware that your grade will drop significantly if you are not a great exam taker as these are 50% of your grade! Very lecture heavy so be ready for some reading!

Very caring and wants you to succeed. Class is very hard though so online was not great for me. It got confusing. But the professor does do zoom calls and gives great advice.

She is a very kind lady and cares a lot about her students. However, this course is very difficult and you must be prepared to dedicate a lot of time towards it. Exams are worth 50% of your grade so be prepared to STUDY. Labs are fine, she sometimes goes through things fast and is hard to follow, but is willing to help if you fall behind.

Cynthia was a great instructor. She was kind and more than willing to help if you had any personal issues. She has some of the best lectures I've seen during my college career they are so straightforward and her presentation of the information is easily digestable. Great teacher overall and would 1000% take her again

Cynthia is one of the best teachers I've ever had. She genuinely cares about your success and is super open to suggestions about what would make you do better in class. She inspired me to take up a career in microbiology, she's just amazing and if I could take that class again I absolutely would.

Most people giving the class a bad review have never done any work in their life. This class is not bad. Do the study guides and take notes on the lectures, life will be good. Cynthia is a wonderful person willing to help you and assist you whenever needed. The class is well organized and structured. I conside

Before each test she made sure to have a study day to play a jeopardy game with the class. Very easy to get along with. Never missed a class

Loved Cynthia, loved this class. While her tests were hard she allowed 3x5 notecards and gave us an optional extra test that would replace a previous test grade if we needed it. Lab wasn't bad as long as you showed up every week and made an effort to learn. Very approachable, knowledgeable, and passionate about the subject matter.
