I really enjoyed her Micro class, I learned alot that can be used in other class

She is very helpful and is approachable. At first might seem a little bit out of there because she is younger, but as a whole, she is great teacher.

Not too bad of a teacher. Really nice. the class itself isn't easy. It will help you decide if you really wanna be a bio major. Some prior knowledge is helpful, but not neccissary

class is not too bad, lecture test are hard though, she has fill in the blank with no word bank, and she has discussion postings on webct that are pointless, the class was ok.

She had a rough first semester, but everyone who has her now says they are doing just fine.

I just don't understand why she gets such a bad rep. I think that she is a great teacher. Her lectures are very clear. And I think she is extremely approachable and helpful whenever you have questions. I would recommend her to anyone.

Dr. Emmert is a good teacher. She is very approachable and extremely helpful, students problems with her are because they dont know how to approach her. Her test are a little hard but the class is interesting and she is always willing to help. She made me want to change my major to bio.

she's an ok teacher, tries to answer any questions you have, although sometimes she doesn't understand why you're asking them. just do the homework and you'll be fine. I didn't think the tests were THAT hard, just understand the material when she presents it in class.

She's not as bad as people say! You just have to work hard. If you hand in all your assignments and study for tests, you should do relatively well. Doing well in lab (which is pretty easy) will help bring up your grade.

Dr. Emmert is an outstanding professor. She is very detailed and in return expects her students to recall a lot of information. However, you always know what you need to know for her tests. I recieved a 67/70 on her first test because I did as she said and studied what she discussed in lecture. She is very knowledgeable and interesting.

I had Dr. Emmert for a few classes and I appreciated her as a teacher. You just can't be afraid to talk to her and you have to study.

I have no idea what the other raters are talking about. I thought Emmert was great. She's very clear, a good lecturer, and she doesn't hold you responsible for stuff in the text on exams. Also, she has lab exams that are pretty easy. Word of advice: STUDY. If you don't, don't expect to do well.

Emmert is a great teacher, she is very clear on what is going to be on the test, nothing thats not in your notes. She always brings up life situations that deal with the class and makes it interesting. Students need to get over the fact that you do need to study in college.

Fairly good teacher. Take a couple pages of notes everyday in lecture, tests are from the notes know them very well and you'll get an A. Also she is clear on lab assignments, lab was enjoyable at times.

You know Emmert is a hard professor but what class in college isn't hard?! I think that people need to stop whining. I have her for an upper-level class and she has me thinking in different ways and learning some really cool stuff. She's also got a great personality, if you take the time to get to know her.

good professor. all the lab exams are easy just remember the questions. exams are simple study what she says. i wouldnt expect an engaging conversation with her, though. she was very clear you just have to study. i wish she would open up to students a little more though; she seems like a nice person.

micro wasn't a bad class. she's a good teacher, and she's extremely knowledgeable about what she teaches, she might be too smart for salisbury though.

Dr. Emmert is a fabulous professor! Her class is hard and the material itself can be tough to grasp but she explains it in such a way that really helps students understand. And for those who say she has no personality have obviously not taken the time to get to know her. She cares about her students and wants to see them suceed.

My favorite teacher. She made the subject really interesting and the labs were fun. I recommend this class to anyone.

I liked Dr. Emmert! She wasnt very sociable, but still a very nice lady =) She's very approachable. She was cut and dry with exams and quizzes. Exams came directly from notes. She was willing to help although i dont think anyone took her up on her offers. Very good at explaining things, and id def wanna take her for my upper level bio courses

Nice enough teacher during lecture, but when getting extra help she can be quite unapproachable. Makes Micro interesting by relating it to every day life. Only use book for online quizzes, not tests. Everything in notes is on tests, very detailed!

Thought Dr. Emmert's class was awesome. Class is spent more time in the lab than in lecture. Don't worry about reading the book--all lecture questions come from notes. Exams can be difficult but study ahead of time. Had D's in the beginning of her lecture exams and by the end of the semester had A's. Would recommend!

Dr. Emmert is a pretty good teacher. Tests come straight from the notes. Write down everything she says. Study your notes well and you should be fine. Her tests are fair, as is her grading. Would take again

Dr. Emmert is one of those professors that emphasizes that you have to work hard for good grades in college, it's not high school anymore. She is very clear. The exams are ...straight from lecture notes, and lab exams are ... from lab experiences. Not exactly the most approachable outside of class, but class is not overly difficult if you study

Loved the class and LOVE Dr Emmert. Exams require you to really know the material, but that's the point! I learned a great deal in the class and highly recommend Dr Emmert and BIOL333. I found her to be approachable and helpful outside of class, both in her office and by email.

I only had her for lecture. Her notes and lectures make sense but her exams ask questions that arent the main idea of the exam material which is frustrating.

I dont know why people didn't like this class. I LOVED it. Dr. Emmert is shy but if you talked to her she is so nice! I had her for lab and lecture and loved both classes. I would definitely take her. The tests aren't bad if you study, just like any other class. Great class though.

Not alot of points available in the class. Many classmates of mine expected A's and got C's. However, she was extremely knowledgeable and its an interesting class. If your a good student you'll do fine. I learned a bunch and got an A :)

I thought that this was a really good class. There wasn't that much information on each test, and the tests were easy if you read over your notes a few times. The short answers on the end of tests were pretty darn hard though! She may not be as easy as pollock, but hey, I know I learned more and that's what college is about.

Dr.Emmert isn't bad as people described her! Her exams are pretty straight forward. If you study your notes you should be fine! I recommend anyone taking Microbiology

You will have to work for your A, but it is definitely possible. Very fair and very helpful if you go to her with questions. Just pay attention, do your work, study, and ask questions if you're confused. SHE WILL HELP YOU!

Dr. Emmert was my research mentor and she truly is passionate about microbiology! I had her for environmental microbiology and immunology too, and even though the classes and material were difficult, I learned a lot more than I did from my easier classes at SU. I highly recommend her classes to students who want to KNOW the material.

Upper level biology class so don't think it'll be an easy A. Emmert is fantastic though. Lab is pretty easy and straightforward, weekly textbook worksheets which are decent, exams come STRAIGHT from the notes. Really understand the material and it'll be no problem doing well in this class. I learned a great deal from her, I highly recommend her!

Dr. Emmert is a very monotone teacher but she only goes over the broad topic that will be on the test. Her exams are straight from the notes and packets you get so just study those. The class doesn't go into that much detail, she just wants to get the main idea. Mostly memorization. Definitely recommend taking her for an easy A or B.

Amazing teacher! MUST TAKE!!!! By far one oft he best teachers in the dep't.

Most of her questions on quizzes and exams come straight of the study guide. For microbiology she has online quizzes and master microbiology which some professor at Salisbury don't have!!!She is very helpful during office hours. She will answer any questions you have! I would highly recommend her!!!!

Her personality is very dry/dull but as a professor she's not terrible. She's helpful in office hours. For homework you complete a 3-4 pg study guide, do masteringmicrobiology homework, and then take a quiz before even learning on the material in class. Study the study guides/make quizlets for the exams. Exams are straight from the study guides.

I took this class over winter break so she may have taught us differently than a normal semester because our class was only 3 weeks but I really liked her. The way she lectures is very easy to understand and I found the topics very interesting. Although I will say sometimes I think she just takes off points for fun, shes not as bad as everyone says

The reviews on here are not true. She may not be the best lecturer because she doesn't provide much information, but what she does provide is exactly what is on the exam. She makes everything easy to understand, and the exams are not hard as long as you review the powerpoints and notes. Pay attention, study, go to class, and you'll do fine.
