Dr. Dave is very funny and will keep you laughing, and material is well covered. His exams are not easy (MC questions, pick the "most correct answer") and his explanations to student questions are often not directly answered.

Dr. Dave is a GREAT instructor. The material is very difficult, however, he gives you every opportunity to succeed. He allows open note exams, and prepares you extremely well. If you don't pass this class, it is not because of him. He ROCKS!!!

Open notes, pre/post tests on lecture, YOU MUST know the material, understand the concepts. Open notes will NOT help unless you memorize and understand. Hard class, survived with an A!

Dr. Dave is not for everyone, but I liked him. He can be a lot of fun. And he REALLY likes microbiology. But I don't think he treats everyone fairly. He does give good opportunities to succeed. But it's lots of work.

A lot of people thrown off by his enthusiasm and expectation that you put in some work. He is not easy but he is fair. Him and Minou make a great team both of their weakness's and strength's complement the others.

The hardest class I have ever taken. I would actually have nightmares about this class. I really liked Dr. Dave's enthusiasm and his intellect but think that he should be teaching at a graduate level. Very Difficult!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had Dr. Singer for Biotech back in 2001?? He was awesome. I've never had so much fun in a class ever. You have to be interested in the subject he's teaching to do well. He really loves Bio/Biotech. I can't imagine Dr. Dave being a bad professor... You've just got to do the work to do well!!!

All of you people are crazy. Dr Dave is a great teacher he just expects a lot of his students. If you plan on transfering to a 4 year school get used to classes like his. I found it easy but challenging and got an A. If you do the work you will be okay.

He is an outstanding teacher who loves what he does. He gives you absolutely every opportunity to succeed, and if you fail it's your own fault. Love him!!!

What a great teacher. I learned so much. But be prepared to work for your grade. It's no easy 'A'.

Generally a good teacher; loves what he does. A little impatient during labs. If you like biology, he's good for you. If you don't, be prepared to work very hard. He appreciates dedication.

His a very good teacher he loves what he teach. I didnt failed the class nor get a good grade. I like his teaching style you will learn a lot. If your open minded his the best! You have to work hard to get an A! Every single knowledge you acquire from his class is precious like his little animacule. remember your in school to learn not to shoot

VERY HARD. He pissed me off, but taught me well. He really does try to trick you.. that is no joke. I was one point away from an A and he still gave me a B. If you work hard you can do. Stay organized and plan on staying in to study. I cried on a regular basis due to the overwhelming nature of his teaching. I promise you will learn if u want

Great teacher but teaches you like if you had a Phd. If your very well organized, you'll do good. Get ready to take a lot of extra time outside class. Defenetily knows what hes teaching, but very hard!!

Interesting guy, loves biology. Very clear about expectations at the beginning of class and provided all the information to succeed. You have to work but you can succeed

Dr Dave Microbio class is VERY intense and time consuming. HE IS however the BEST professor I've ever had after 7yrs of college courses. He will push you hard but I've learn more in his class that any other class I've ever take. I highly recommend him if you really are interested in learning the material, you will not get an easy grade in his class

Challenging teacher, but has great personality. Talks too much sometimes but take notes on everything he says because it will be on the test. Many times answers to the Exams come out of his mouth and you will not find it anywhere else. Take notes on his weekly reviews don't take them for granted, he rewards with info/tips for Exams.

if you read the book and answer the study questions before class you'll do really well.

Dave Singer is awesome! He is hard but you'll learn a lot. Also, his class is not complicated if you go to every class and read all of the chapeters he assigns. There are no surprises in this class, he's very open about what he will test you on and what he expects.

This class is pretty tough - no easy A or B. Dr. Dave does his best to keep students on track and thinking. You can tell he REALLY loves his job and cares if you put in an effort. Go to his Saturday study sessions!

Very difficult class. You need to be willing to put in more hours than you are used to. This class was on par with the difficult classes at UCSD. You need to take notes on everything he says, because you will be tested on it. Exams are open note. Grading scale is already curved, 79% and up is an A. He sometimes says inappropriate things.

He is a very good teacher. I do not know why his rating is very poor. If you don't read your book, nor attend his classes, don't expect to get a good grade. But if you read all the reading assignments and answer the study guide questions, then you should be good to go. I think that the students here who gave bad comments/review are the ones who a

All these people complaining are cry babies. He assigns a lot of work, tests come from lecture notes and a bit of self study, and lab practicals are time constrained. But office hours are priceless!! All work assigned and tests are easy A if you go to the office hours and get on the same level. Singer is challenging but fair.

He is a tough teacher. I began doing very well but after doing so much work i began to loose confidence. Tips: answer and more importantly, UNDERSTAND the questions and answers. Go to office hours for clarifications. Labs are time consuming. I often left with pounding headaches.

Dr. Dave has put a lot into making this course as comprehensive as possible, and I now have a job to show for it...BUT this class was extremely stressful and I cried regularly feeling like a loser. The workload was overwhelming and seemingly unrealistic. TIPS: Do not try to take other classes concurrently and come to class with a great attitude.

Dr. Dave is a great biology professor. He is tough, but if you follow the advice he gives at the first class session and you are willing to put in some work you can do really well in the class. He is clear in his teachings and he is always available to help anyone who needs the extra help. I would definitely take himn for other classes!

Dr. Dave is demanding and challenging. He does have his own style of teaching,much respect to him. He certainly know his biology and has high expectation for his students and a great passion for his work. I learned a lot for Dr. Dave...Thank you.

dr dave is one of the best, just listen to what he tells you he wants you to know, and spend a lot of time (A LOT OF A LOT OF) time reading over notes. and you'll get an A. just do all the work--it's worth it.

Challenging class...an A is possible if you read, study, and pay attention in class. Dont think you can just show up and get an A, you have to work hard for it. He is one of the best and most helpful professors earlier...and hilarious!

Read, read, READ!!! Reading is a MUST in his class. Class is very difficult, but if you pay attention to him and spend at least 8 hours a week studying/reading then you will get that A. Very passionate and has high expectations for his students (:The best part about the class are his songs X)

Dr. This was an academically rigorous class. If you are not prepared in basic biology and chemistry the class will be tough for you. Persons making mean comments here all seem to have one thing in common: They can not spell! A professor can only go so far with ill prepared students. Take personal responsibility guys! No watered down grades here!

Dr. Dave is an excellent professor. He is extremely dedicated to helping his students succeed. He will push you to your fullest potential. This course is very time consuming and rigorous, but if you know that biotech is what you want to do, then expect walking out of here with work experience and maybe even a new career.

Dr. Dave is extremely intelligent and he is a nice guy if he sees that you are really into his classs. very clear but difficult so do not expect an easy A or B you really have to work your a!! for it.. offices hours very helpful..

You will develop a love- hate relationship. He is super funny. If your a science major you will thank him for his hard grading and teaching style. Definitely recommend.

Dr. Dave is one of the most dedicated professors out there. BIO 206 is an industry-taught advanced laboratory course geared to gain employment in the biotech industry. Dr. Dave's grading style and work-load demands are beyond excessive, however, you will walk out of this class with a new career and will have the skills to show.

Dr Dave is by far the best professor I have had the privilege of working with. It was his class where I really understood critical thinking and learned of it's lifelong value. While his class is rigorous and difficult, you learn so much. Not for slackers or daydreamers.
