Dr. Miller is a great teacher! She is very helpful, makes class interesting, and is willing to answer any questions. And my class had tons of questions! Microbiology is hard and taking it over the summer is very tough, but while challenging she made it a great learning experience.

She is very fair, genuine and a patient person. She is a relatively new PhD and will be one of the best instructors at the school. This class is WORK but she made it interesting and gave us every opportunity to earn a good grade. DSC is lucky to have someone of her caliber and intellect on staff and I highly recommend her.

She is very helpful and understands that you may not be a microbiology geek, so she'll explain things. The subject matter itself is hard but she makes it understandable. Microbiology lecture was fun with her even though in her lab it feels like you're always being rushed. She goes a little bit too fast in lab but lecture is good.

This teacher is all over the place. Uses too much rhetoric. Says a lot but really means nothing.Her lecture is good, but her lab is terrible. She moves way too fast in it and hardly explains anything!She doesn't explain things well at all and you have to constantly ask her what she's talking about and to slow down. Not the best teacher for lab!!!

Very, VERY sweet/kind lady. The class is pretty hard and her study guides tend to not match up with the tests too well. She'll help you though if you ask. As far as her lab goes though, it was very confusing and nobody ever knew what was going on. She's not a horrible teacher, but you'd be better off taking Rimstidt online - way easier.

I took this class online expecting a very tough go, as I'm not a science guy and it's been 15 yrs. Turns out, it was one of my easier classes. The homework labs were fairly straightforward and directly from the text and tests weren't too bad either. The posts for marks were a joke. I ended up with a B plus in a subject I have zero interest in.

I absolutely adore Dr. Tata! She has a passion for microbiology and will relate hard to understand topicsthemes with easy to remember analogies (I will forever relate the dendritic cell to a rastafarian).

Micro Lab was 1day/wk virtual lecture: Love this professor for Lab! Watch the recommended vids, listen/take notes during lecture, do H.W this LAB is very doable! Micro Lecture, fully online: Difficult tests. Materials don't narrow down study info for tests. She makes it up with grading. But, Really study book and pix.

Class is easily passable. I took a hybrid class and all the work was online. She gave 2 chances on the test. The 2nd chance the test changed a little but not bad. It helped a ton! Also excellent online questions to help prepare for tests and lots of easy A work to huffer bad test scores. Very reasonable teacher making a hard class very doable

Professor Tata is very knowledgable and always willing to answer questions. Reads off powerpoint like most all science professors do but she tries to make sure everyone understands and inserts interesting anecdotes. Only took her for lecture. Each module you complete Mcgraw hill smartbook assignments, a discussion post and the module test.

Very knowledgeable about microbiology and enthusiastic when it comes to teaching about it. What takes away from this is the unclear instructions on lab summaries that are then graded with overly critical feedback. For online only course we had to submit typed up worksheets that took a while to grade. Tough grader, but good course.

Dr. Tata is one of the best professors I've ever had. I took her online for lecture+lab, and I'd do it again. The course shell is organized so you never have to guess what's due, and she runs weekly lab meetings that you can attend (which I highly recommend) that are recorded. She goes above and beyond to make sure you succeed if you put in effort!

Dr. Tata organized both the lecture material and lab into one course shell that was very easy to navigate. She takes the time to give you constructive feedback as she wants to help you do well in her course. Tests are hard, but you will be fine if you do all of the homework and study. She drops grades and gives extra credit to help you out.

Dr. Tata was great! I had her for my summer A microbiology lecture and while it was a lot of information to learn at once, she always thoroughly explained things to help everyone better understand. She always checked for questions and cleared any confusion before moving on because she wants everyone to pass! Would definitely take her again!

Dr. Tata was amazing. Very clear syllabus and grading rubric. As long as you pay attention to instructions, and are ready to put in the time to complete all of the assignments online (ebook readings, relevancy modules, quizzes, tests, knowledge checks on what you read, discussion posts) you will do just fine. This course has A LOT of information.

There's a lot of reading for each chapter and a correlating smartbook activity(which takes a while). Module exams are closed book and all tests and reading are accessed through McGrawhill Connect. As long as you complete the smartbook activity you will earn full credit for it. Graded on: Discussions Quizzes/module tests

Dr. Tata was an absolutely fabulous professor! I took her hybrid MicroBio class this spring semester and loved every second. Her knowledge of the Microbic world left me 100x more enlightened on the topic by the end of the semester. Not only do students receive a thorough understanding of microbes themselves, but all cell biology as a whole. 10/10!!

Professor Tata was an amazing teacher! Everything is laid out very clearly in the syllabus and she answers emails in a very timely manner. The assignments are very time consuming but the due dates are laid out in a way that you can complete them without rushing.

Dr. Tata has an overall easy class, the work is not the issue, she is. The only part of the class she manually grades is discussion posts, but if you do not do the response perfectly she will give you a passive aggressive response back. I have been told that my opinion is not valid in the part of the discussion posts where it is YOUR OPINION.

Whenever asked her questions, her reply would be just to look in the manual. like the only reason I am asking you is because I couldn't find it in the manual, if u dont need guidance then she could work for you but personally in a microbiology class you need a lot of guidance, also the instructions are so disorganized and very hard to follow.
