Mr.Carr is an excellent teacher. He knows his stuff;very knowledgeable. Actually wants you to pass. very helpful. Labs are Fun. lotta material, but with hard work, ull do fine. very pleasant guy. DO THE STUDY GUIDES for the tests!
Excellent teacher! Very important to attend all lectures and labs, because you will do better. Professor Carr actually makes it fun, because he has a great way of teaching. The study questions help for the tests. I enjoyed this class and learned alot.
GREAT TEACHER!!! Very helpful. Very clear on what he wants and what you need to do to do well in his class. He knows the material well and makes class fun and interesting.
Great Teacher. Very specific in what he wanted. Gave a lot of info. It was a hard class but he made it very enjoyable because he knew how to teach. Just use the study guides and do the labs and you will pass with no problem.
Incredibly intelligent person cares for his students- responds on your email questions about the exam – which I found very helpful. The class it self is hard but he make it Fun and enjoyable. I enjoyed lab experiment that he makes it clear and understandable. He is Fun , makes class Fun – so I wanted to come to the class and I have an interest in t
dr. carr is awesome. hes so nice. the class is HARD. dont take it during the summer b/c its too much info at once but he does everything possible to make it easier on u. do the study guides n practice tests! and theres a lotta quizzes and stuff but they;re not hard and its never anything that he hasnt explained. A+ teacher i'd take him again
So cute! He was pretty easy..he will give you a practice test that you don't have to do, but i suggest you do it becasue when the real test comes it is almost identical word for word as the practice test...if you actualy do the practice test you will get
Do the study guides and practice tests. Ask questions if you don't understand something. He will help all he can. He truly cares about students and wants you to learn. He isn't in this to flunk students out but to help them pass and understand the material. GREAT Teacher. I wish he taught all the classes I need.
Im a guy so hes no hot. but he is very witty and funny, extremely knowledgable, and very clear in what information or concepts are of importance and whats just "extra." Study guides are given, but the practise exams are your real key to a 100. they are very close to real exam.
He makes learning so much fun. He is the best teacher I've ever had. I will definitely take another with him.

He is a GREAT teacher!! The class is hard, but that is expected, Its microbiology what do you expect. He is funny and is really interested in trying to get you interested. He loves his yeast!! You will now what i mean when you go into the first day of class. Take him hes great!!
Carr is outstanding! He stands out from the pack, in that he REALLY TEACHES. His interest in the subject matter truly shows. Powerpt lecture slides key ingredient--take notes right on them. Text is backup. Gives Study Guides & Practice Exam B4 each test. Many quizzes, but nothing he hasn't covered. Witty guy! Don't take Micro with anyone else.
His enthusiasm in microbiology is infectious.
Great Professor....would take a class with him anytime
This Professor is one hot tamale! Not only is he mad smart, which is bank, but he has whatever "It" is. It can include his passion for teaching, or his dedication to the hard work in his class. It's the "It" that makes him stand out in a room full of men.
well, microbiology is one tough class. a C in this class is triumph. Dr. Carr def. made this class more fun than it really should be considering the material is dry...and that's good. For sure, he's one of the best science teachers I've had ever and you can tell he is a very intelligent man and we need more teachers like this...
He was able to take a class that is not so interesting and make it very enjoyable. I wanted to go to class to learn and see what he would say next. I found him very funny and easy to talk to if you had a problem. He is a great teacher! -T
Dr. Carr is the smartest person ever! He is also a lot of fun and wants u to have fun. I liked coming to class to hear his jokes.
Prof Carr was one of the best i have had in my entire college experience. He want you to learn and he keeps class extremely interesting. The labs are really cool as well. If you have to take mirco take it with him!!!!
He gives you many different opportunities to acheive a good grade because the tests arent easy. Very enthusiastic and an overall wonderful teacher! Dr. Carr is just plain awesome! I wish he could teach all of my classes!
Awesome teacher, extremely funny, and keeps the class going and interesting! does whatever he could do to pass you, two thumbs up!!
He is such a GREAT Teacher. Very funny and he makes it always interesting in class. I wish he could teach all my classes.He is also very helpful when you need any advise.
One of the best teachers i might have ever had, he is funny n knows how to make microbiology intersting for everyone!!!
He is the best teacher I have ever had! He is fun and uses great techniques to teach his students.
Carr is my absolute favorite teacher at RV. He loves what he does and it shows. He makes the material fun to learn because he is SO funny! He had me laughing all the time. I was actually sad the semester was over because I am going to miss having a class with him. Would take him again in a heartbeat if I could.
Dr. Carr is an awesome micro teacher, funny, smart and makes you want to learn. You'll laugh and learn at the same time. Easy to study for. He gives you a pretest, just listen to what he says and do the studyguide & pretest and you will definitely pass. I wish he taught more classes.

Awesome teacher very helpful, understanding, and hilarious. Just study the power points, the study guides and you will do great. he gives you so many opportunities to pass. lab write ups which are 50 points, 2 projects which are so easy. DEFFF TAKE HIM
Dr. Carr was such a great teacher! He was extremely helpful and provided a little comedy so it made it easier to follow along. He is an excellent teacher and I highly recommend him! He's also a little bit of a cutie ;)
Dr. Chase is a fantastic professor. I highly recommend him, especially if you're just starting out and don't really have an understand of microbiology yet. He adds humor, he's very engaging, REALLY cares and genuinely wants his students to learn the material. Also, is very good at intergrading "real life" experiences to help. TAKE HIM!!!
Previous one said Dr. Chase suppose to be DR. CARR - SORRY
Best teacher everrrrr...... you have to be extremely dumb to fail his class, makes it easy for you to pass and gives you many opportunity to pass his class
One of the best professor at RVCC, he is very helpful, and making learning Bio fun, he us beyond hilarious, gives students apporrtunity to pass his class, you have you be extremely dumb not to fail his class a must take for Microbio at Rvcc.
great help if its too difficult for you. explains stuff to the best of his knowledge. very humerouse which always keeps u interest. great class
Very funny. Makes the subject matter interesting and easy to understand. Would highly recommend to take his class.
Awesome Professor ! he's super funny , do your work and you'll get an A.. Easy
Might be the best professor I have had.
He is literally the best teacher i have ever had! He treats everyone fairly and makes class really interesting. He is a funny, lovely human being and it is so obvious that he really cares about each of his students and wants us all to do well. I would love to take a class with him again! He makes us all laugh and is sooooo helpful!!
He is so adorable! I would go to his office hours just to see him smile, he is so nice and so helpful..you would be lucky to have him as a teacher! I dreaded taking micro but once I was in his class he made me laugh so much that I didnt want it to end. I will miss him!
One of the best teachers I had! I had no idea how interesting Microbiology could be! Many teachers need to learn from his style. I actually enjoyed going to this class and on a Sat morning none the less.
Carr ROCKS!! He really love microbiology. He gives lots of quizzes but he uses the same question on his test. I would have gotten an A if I would have chosen the right bacteria.
Dr. Carr is very helpful and makes micro fun. Do not take this class with anyone else. He is also funny and makes class v
Dr. Carr is very helpful and makes micro fun. Do not take this class with anyone else. He is also funny and makes class very interesting.
He is awesome love his class looked forward to lecture and lab every week believe it or not I recommend him can't get a better professor for micro. Drops 2 lowest quiz grades and only three exams.
By far the most interesting and engaging prof I have ever had. Has a love of the subject that he instills in students. He is hilarious and very kind to boot. You must take him, even in summer!
Dr. Carr is one of the best professors I have ever had. He made the class so interesting!! He is very helpful and understanding!!! I actually looked forward to going to his class!!!!
Awesome! He wants you to pass the class! He is one of very few to make class so interesting. To get on his good side buy him a case of beer, instant A+ guaranteed!
Professor Carr is an awesome teacher. He keeps class funny and will also help you. The class can be a challenge but he does try to make it as easy as he can. I recommend him to everyone.

Prof.Carr, is a wonderful teacher and very helpful. I would recommend him to anyone who is taking microbiology.
A true gift for teaching. Funny, interesting and passionate about his job. Highly recommended.
Dr. Carr is amazing. He is so funny and it makes the class a lot better and a lot easier to attend at 8:30 in the morning. I highly recommend him to anybody. Had a lot of fun in his class he's a great teacher, a really nice guy , and really helpful. He really knows his stuff! Class isn't ridiculously hard, just need to pay attention and study

Such a good teacher that I never wanted to miss a class. Hilarious, smart and truly passionate about his work.
By far the best professor I have ever had! He is funny, passionate and extremely intelligent. He makes a difficult subject easy to understand and better yet, enjoy. I never wanted to miss a class. I wish I could take him for all of my science courses.
BEST professor ever. So helpful and interested in the subject. If you need to take this class - take it with Dr. Carr!!
Enjoyed this class very much he loves what he does provides you with the necessary tools to understand the material and pass his class. He also tries to get you to think outside the box. I would definitely take him again
Professor Carr is a great professor. He has a great sense of humor and loves what he does. wants all of his students to pass. I would recommend taking him for Microbiology.
I took this class in the summer and it was fast pace. He is an awesome professor. really cares about his students passing. encouraged every student in the class. the assignments were tough so reading is a must. labs were fun but must pay attention in labs.
This class is not boring at all because Professor Carr is hilarious! He keeps all the students engaged in learning. Classes aren't mandatory, only labs. He is a very lenient grader on the lab reports, but the tests are difficult and require a lot of preparation. If you need help with anything, he is the go to guy! I enjoyed his class.
Prof Carr is hilarious. I would not have passed if I took this class with another professor. It is tough material but he gives you so many quizzes (drops 2) and practice tests, so you know exactly what to expect. You can also tell he loves the subject, he is so knowledgeable about it. There won't be a class that you go without a good laugh!
I was really nervous about taking Microbiology. The general consensus is that it's a really hard course. Dr. Carr changed that! I won't lie and say that the material is easy, but his delivery and humor make it easy to understand. PAY ATTENTION to lectures. A lot of the test questions are straight from them! He is the Jewel of RVCC.
As I'm not a science major, I was intimidated to take Biology. Dr. Carr made the material straightforward and clearly explained what he expects from you. Really funny and intelligent guy! Tends to ramble on a bit during lecture, but he always finds a way to tie in his stories with the material. Study thoroughly for the exams, and you'll be fine!
im not good a science, his microbe class makes it easy to learn. pay attention in class!! most of the test questions are in lecture. i hardly read my book and got a B+ he's hilarious and the best teach i have had and will ever have in life. i wish he taught everything!
Student beware. Dr Carr looks like your average stud academic. He comes on slow with a few glib quips and before you know it, you're hooked by his wit and keen mind. Peppering his lectures with subject specific anecdotes, you find out this guy really cares. He is a buffet of knowledge and caters to all. FocusC, Focus + work hard A
Dr Carr is a great professor. Very fair grading. He is always trying to explain the material in a way the students can understand. He gives quizzes, which are great to keep you on top of the material. Don't expect an easy A. Do your job and you are going to do pretty well. Definitely, would take him again!
Prof Carr was the funniest and most amazing professor i ever took. grading was clear from the door and always took time to help. I had a rough semester on the personal level and worked with me as much as he could. he made learning the material fun and interesting. hands down my favorite professor ever would take any course he taught.
Great Teacher, Everyone tries to get him, So get in before its full!
Dr. Carr is one of the gems of RVCC.. For a tough class like Micro he makes it fun and interesting.. Not an easy A but work hard enough and can be done. I got a B+ without studying hard.. You remember from labs and lectures
OMG he is the best teacher ever. Guys look if yall want to understand what is going on in th world about microorganism. How to protect yourself. good knowlegde about a lot of disease yall better take microbiology fro Edward Carr. it is like I was watching a very intereting movi everytime im sitting in the class. clear explanation he is hilarious.
BEST prof I've ever had! He makes every very class interesting and entertaining. For such a difficult course he makes material easier to understand and actually fun. He posts practice exams for every exam he gives, study guides and ppts for every chapter too. Lots of quizzes but they're short, not difficult and he drops the two lowest grades.
Love him. Wish he could teach every class!!
BEST TEACHER I EVER HAD!!
Needs some new jokes. He is flexible and helpful. Big picture, not a bunch of nit-picky. Many opportunities to help your grade. NO surprises. Practice exams and reviews are 75% of the exam you will see. Remember this: Zombies & Vampires, Dehydration Synthesis, Electron Transport chain, Positive+Purple+Penicillin and you'll be OK!. You must Text!
The best professor. He makes microbiology easy by simplifying things. He works with you no matter what. If you have the will, he is always there to help.
When in doubt, the answer is Zombies and Vampires. It's tough to make Micro fun unless you just have a 'thing' for Bacteria and Fungi. But he puts in the effort and tries to make it applicable to our daily lives. Strongly suggest you take this BEFORE entering an Allied Health field such as Nursing. No single bad grade will kill you, don't stress it
Dr. Carr is by far the best professor I have had a RV. I would take him over and over again if I could. Funniest guy I know!
Dr. Carr makes microbiology enjoyable and interesting. Although he gives a quiz for every chapter they are for your own good. Don't sleep on the practice tests be sure to study and understand them well. I did better studying from his notes and the practice tests he provides than from the text book. Awesome professor he makes you laugh a lot.
Professor Carr is amazing! I took microbiology over the summer, so it was only 6 weeks long. I wish I had him for a whole semester! He is so funny and his lectures are so interesting. He made me love microbiology. Barely studied and did well. There was no textbook necessary for lectures, but you need the laboratory manual. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!!
Dr. Carr is probably one of the best science professors at RV! He is hysterical so be ready to laugh in class. The textbook is not necessary but the Lab Manual is a must. I took him for Microbiology Spring 2018 and he is truly AMAZING!!! I would take him again if i had the chance!
I LOVE PROFESSOR CARR!!!!!!! what a gem. pay attention, he literally gives you the answers to the quizzes. I learned a lot in this class. I wish that I can take him for everything.
Love Ed Carr! The nicest professor and I enjoyed his lectures and sense of humor. Gives you so many opportunities to pass. Material was really easy and explains in a way where you can understand
Dr. Carr was very thorough in lectures and his lab. HIs jokes made the classes very interesting! Pay close attention to the connections that he make with examples, stories or jokes during his lectures- it makes it easier during testing.
best professor i ever had. makes the course look easy and interesting
I loved him and loved his class!! So interesting to learn and he always made it fun. Two exams, a final, and quiz once a week, and a group project in the lecture. In lab, there is a lab practical and an unknown study. Overall, just put in the work and you can get a good grade while still enjoying the class.
Dr. Carr is amazing. He makes microbiology fun, and easy to understand. First time that I have ever look forward to a lecture, because hes hilarious. Great and effective teacher.
Fall 2019- Dr. Carr is such an amazing professor! The class is heavy and has a lot of material but he always tries to make the information relatable and easy to remember. Never used the book but need the lab manual. Show up and put in effort and he will notice. Accessible for help and really cares about your success. Loved him and his class!
Professor Carr is the BEST professor I have EVER had! I could write a sonnet about this man! Not only was he an extremely intelligent and passionate professor, hes a kind and caring individual. I felt like his own child! He showed up late every class lol and attendance was not mandatory. His exams are hard tho, just study the guides. HES AMAZING
I had Prof Carr for Micro Spring 2020, the irony of having that class go online because of a virus was not lost on him. He's an extremely fair grader, understanding about student's extenuating circumstances and just wants you to get the big picture about why things are important and how you can apply it to real life. Would take his class again!
Took his Micro 101 class in the Spring of 2016. Sitting here in 2020 thinking about what a great professor he was. Wanted to send him an email saying so and decided to make a pit stop on rate my professor. 10/10, outstanding, would recommend.
Professor Carrs lectures are extremely lengthy and he tends to go off on many tangents that do not pertain to the material. This is quite annoying and takes up the majority of the lecture time. There are very few graded assignments in this class making it difficult to improve ones grade. He is also impossible to reach by email.
I took Professor Carr for Principles of Microbiology. He is a great professor. Works on labs with the whole class, and make sure everyone understands the material. He has a great sense of humor and makes a difficult class enjoyable. You need to buy the materials/textbooks for the class and use them. Participation is an important factor.
Nature of Science- summer/online: about 8 articles/videos each week, discussion, reflection, and writing assignment each week. Its not hard but just a lot of reading/writing if you want a 100%. Fair course to take, u could skim a few articles to get the general idea but u need to cite all the sources he gives for u to use so find something to quote
I never leave good reviews on here but Ed Carr is the exception
best teacher I ever had! hes the best
Carr is very kind and nice. He is willing to help; however, it is very difficult to reach him outside of class. Some emails took 1 to 4 days for a response. The lab and homework are simple and easy As. The lecture exams were difficult. Know well the practice exams and study guides. Overall, you can get an A but it will take some extra effort! :)
Genuinely a good dude with a drive for teaching. I'd recommend him to anyone.
Not sure my grade yet becaus
Made a really hard subject rn
Took him from micro in spring and just finished nutrition. Highly recommend him. Micro was a little tough but nutrition was a breeze!
Professor Carr makes a challenging class enjoyable. The lectures are worth attending, and resources like the textbook and Unstuckstudy are helpful for study prep. An engaging professor who wants students to really understand the material.
Overall he was not a bad professor. I took the nature of science class during the winter semester and it was honestly a lot easier than many people say. 3 assignments a week every week for 8 weeks was honestly a lot better than what I was expecting. on the written assignments and discussions he would leave decently helpful feedback.
Dr. Carr truly cares about his students and makes a boring subject easier to understand. His dad jokes are a highlight of every lecture. The labs are fun, especially if you appreciate science. Make quizlets from his practice exams, they help a lot. Do your best on the unknown project and case study, both are easy A's if you follow his rubric.
This man was born to teach. Not only did he engage with his students but he made lecture fun and interesting by bringing background knowledge and easy ways to learn the topics. I never took notes because of how easy he made things to learn.
