She is the best Teacher you will ever have--I promise!
She is a fab instructor! She knows her stuff and makes sure that you get it!
Fantastic teacher! (motherly type) Very helpful to her students. I would recommend her to all!!
i am a returning student after 5 years. by the midterm i had a D and i went to her and she helped me to understand it better and she helped me to learn "how" to study. i finished with an 87 a "B" in her class. hard but she's very clear
I just finished taking Microbiology in 7 weeks. We covered 16 chapters and I can honestly say that I learned more in her class then I have in any other. She is a wonderfull teacher and I would highly recomend her to any one taking Biology.
Dr. Ingram is a wonderful instructor. She cares about her students and it shows. Don't miss class and study her notes, you'll be sure to get a good grade. I recommend her to all my friends.
She is great. She really make learning Microbiology fun. I'm usually excited about going to class. She makes micro a favorite of mine.
She is the best instructor. Is willing to help after class times and will do everything to help you learn. By far the best instructor at valencia.
need to keep up with daily work. study with friends. challenging class.
Great teacher!! She goes through all the notes in class and tell you what to highlight and know for the tests. It's not easy, but she does a good job teaching! Each week there is a lab quiz of 5 questions she tells you what to know the week before.
Her personality and obvious personal interest in the success of her students, come through loud and clear. It almost makes learning about DNA and bacteria fun. Upon completion of this class you will never forget to wash your hands again!!
She is a great teacher. All of her test information comes from her notes and the CD-Rom. If you study the information and what she tells you is going to be on the test you are sure to get a good grade.
One of the easiest science professors I have taken.If you study her notes really well,you'll get a perfect score on her test. No need to buy a book.If she was teaching another science class I would definately take her again. She's the BEST!
She gives you all the tools to be successful in her class and takes an interest in all her students. She is an outstanding teacher and mentor to her class.
I must say first that I took this class during summer. There was a lot of material and very little time. I got a B in her class. The tests are difficult but not impossible. Test material comes from lecture notes and practice CD.
very nice lady. This class was hard for me, but I got through it. Study the notes, and study them hard.If you do this you will pass. Expect alot of work.
Very good teacher I really recommed her!
Dr. Ingram is the best teacher I've ever had. DEFINITELY TAKE HER!!!
I did not pass due to personal reasons but she is a great teacher. She wants students to ask questions and is willing to take her personnel time to spend with a student that is in need of help.
Easy if you study. She is understanding and helps a lot. Her lab quizes are easy if you study. her knowledge is good and she shares it with you if you are willing to listen. She is funny but make sure you are ontime, I could tell she likes respnsable students
Dr. Ingram makes learning Microbiology fun. I dreaded this class but she made learning easy. Study her notes and practice the lessons on the CD and you will pass. I wish she would teach nursing classes, I am sure her classes would fill up quickly.
Wonderful! You must study the notes VERY WELL. I got an A, but it was a lot of studying. Stay on top of work the minute she assigns it or you will be sorry. Test 4 is poorly written, make sure you know all the info. Most of the class failed it. She is always willing to give extra help just ask.
Dr. Ingram is the best professor i have had at valencia, i wish she taught a&p. Dont take hewr if ur not ready to study, ALOT od busy work, but if u study every day, she gives u the tools u need to do well. I got an A. There r no tricks
She is the greastest, I wish she was teaching A&P. Be prepared to study, if you do no problem. She tells you what will be on the test's. Take her for any class you can
Dr. Ingram is the sweetest, nicest & easiest teacher I've had at VCC. She tells you exactly everything that's going to be on your quizes & tests. She should DEFINITELY teach all the other science classes =)
Dr. Ingram is a great teacher. She loves what she teaches and wants you to learn. I enjoyed the class and you learn a lot of new things. You will see "germes" in a different way after taking Micro with her. Hard subject, but interesting. Lots of notes!! Study for the tests and you will pass, she never gives extra credit, but when she does take it.
Ms. Ingram is the most caring teacher you can possibly take. She is there to help and will go out of her way to do so. I took the class in the summer and got a B. I love her, i wish i can take her again.
Great teacher!! Make sure you study your notes and you will do well. You must study. Very helpful and is always there if you need her and do not understand. I got an A but it does take some studying. Great teacher, if not one of the best!!!!!
Dr. Ingram really does care about her students - I was ill during her class (missing 3 straight classes including a test) - she called me at home to see what was going on and when I would be back, what I missed in class, and what I needed to do in order to pass the class. She is a great teacher, and a compassionate human being!!
Mrs Ingram is a great teacher. She is very clear in every thing that she expects from you. She is always available to people who need help during her office hours. If she is not in class she is usually in her office. She is one of the best.
Dr. Ingram was the best science teacher I had at VCC. I had so much fun in her class that I am now majoring in Microbiology. She is extreamly helpful, and she really cares about the students.
Dr. Ingram is the greatest. I wished she would teach A & P. I was worried about taking this class because I have heard how hard it is, but she explains everything in detail. If you study your notes (which she gives you) you will be OK.
Dr.Ingram is the best teacher i've ever had i was so nervous going into this class because of how hard i had heard that it was wich it is not easy but she gives you all the material you need to succeed!you only have to be willing to study!ended up with an A in her class and i have never in my life had an A in any science class!she is awesome!!!!
Dr. Ingram is awesome, but this course is VARY demanding! If you take this course plan on studying a lot!
Awesome teacher!! Explains everything very helpful and I really enjoyed the labs I can honestly say I learned alot in her class. This class has motivated me even more to continue in Science. Make sure you study though very demanding course.
Dr. Ingram is wonderful! This is a difficult subject but she makes it very clear. Her notes are excellent. She is very well organized and runs the labs with precision.
She is the best science professor VCC has to offer, she is very helpful and wants to see you succeed. Very fair grader, and good notes. She is a wonderful, wonderful teacher and person. I wish she taught A&P, I would definately take her again.
If you have to take Microbiology,take Dr. Ingram. She knows her stuff. She is extremely helpful and gives you all the info that you need to pass the tests. You have to work for it though. This is not an easy class! Don't miss class, take notes and do the work. There is a lot of work involved in this class, so be prepared to study your butt off.
Dr. Ingram is an awesome professor. She gives you all the material needed to do well on the tests and in the class. She is very clear and knows her subject. She truly is a great professor and person. I would recommend her to anyone.
Dr. Ingram is one of the best professors I have ever had. (Along with Mrs. Dorn). Though the class isnt easy, she teaches in a way for all to understand. Not only is she a great teacher, she is an amazing person-very willing to help and give advice if you ask her. I would reccomend her to ANYONE!! Absolutely Amazing Professor!
Very straightforward. Pay attention to what she says because she will ask the same thing on tests and quizes. Very helpful.
She is very helpful and cares about her students. Class is easy if you study and read her notes. Tests are straight from her notes. Don't really use the book alot but need it for a few assignments. She is very sweet and makes a hard class fun and enjoyable.
Prof. Ingram is great! I learned so much in her class. She is really nice and helpful. Her tests are packed with info, so study the notes very, very hard. You need to work hard in this class, but she is great I highly recommend her!
Prof. Ingram is a great teacher who would go out of her way to help you. All you have to do is ask. Attendance is mandatory but she makes it fun. She makes a hard boring class more fun and interesting.
Very interesting professor. Teaching style is interesting and rather interactive. She uses overheads, videos, graphic images, CDs, the internet and other things as tools for teaching. Ingram's labs are especially interesting. She is very difficult, though, and studying is a must!
she is fanTASTIC. i just finished taking her for the summer and got an A. this class is no joke, it is HARD but i think everyone in my class got an A. you hardly ever use the txtbk except for inclass activities. she gives extra credit. the tests r straight from the notes but u should do the online quizzes too. that helps.we hardly used the atlas.
Dr.Ingram is awesome. I took her summer A class! I never bought a book but I used the one in the library a few times. She provides notes and practice online quizzes..Study like crazy and you'll pass. She is very helpful and wants to see her students succeed!
If you cheat in her class you are going to be a cheater all your life. She is an excellent teacher.
Don't take her. She's a really hard teacher and has really hard tests. This class will take up most of your life!
people, be honest, she is extremely helpful and want's you tu learn, try's to educate the students in her class.
In order to become a health related professional we need to learn. She is EXTREMELY EASY. DONT BUY THE BOOK. Just read many times her notes, since all the answers are there. Also, she gives like 100 extra points, that is an extra test. She is a little boring, but just READ. You are not going to get an A if you dont read, but I did reading
One of the best teachers i've had. Very organized and helpful. Read her notes and attend class and lab and i guarantee an A
At first I had to get used to the class way the class was ran.She gives a test with each lab. 5 lecture quizzes. 2 practicals. The 2 practicals are the same amount of points as all 5 exams so if you are a hands on learner you will do well.Honestly she is a sweet woman and loves microbiology my advise is before check out the faulty page.
Great instructor! The material covered will be seen again if you're a health care professional. I'm writing this review post nursing school and remember her being great. Memorize the notes to get an A.
She is extremely helpful and shows that she really cares about her students. The class however is not easy."it is not supposed to be easy" but she does her part to help anyone having difficulty as long as you ask for help.Plus you can contact her via e-mail anytime thought out the semester and get a quick helpful response. I would recommended her.
SHE IS GREAT THAT IS ALL I HAVE TO SAY... SHE GIVES QUIZZES BUT THEY HELP Y0U LATER ON SHE IS ALWAYS THERE TO HELP AND IS VERY VERY CLEAR ON WHAT IS GOING TO BE ON THE TESTS. TAKE HER YOU WONT REGRET IT.
If you want to pass this class, then you must study. She will help you as much as you need. Also offers extra credit. Great Teacher, wish she taught other courses that I need.
Dr. Ingram is awesome. Her lecture's are informative and interesting, not to mention she always has a great story to go along with it. If you study for this class you will DEFINITELY pass. If she taught any other classes, I'd take her! You won't regret having her, and you'll leave having learned so much!
Dr Ingram is by far the best micro teacher at VCC. If you take her, not only will you pass buy you will fall in love with micro. she makes the subject fun and easy to understand. she also relates the material to the nursing level..
My most favorite teacher in the whole wide world. I took this course on the West Campus, and didn't pass. Mrs. Ingram is the best. She is very helpful and funny. If you come to class she will most definitely give you extra points to help your final grade. I hate science with a passion especially when it has to deal with gross stuff. I Love this lad
LOVE LOVE LOVE this teacher. AWESOME. I don't understand how ANYONE could fail her class. Everything is straight forward but you do have to study. Labs are soo easy too. She makes class fun and interesting...even though some of the material is not the most interesting. I would recommend her to ANYONE.
I really liked her. She made class interesting & fun to learn. She knows what she's talking about & has a story for almost every disease out there. Her tests are very difficult, even if you study. Labs are easy & she walks you through them. Almost no extra credit, so tests grades are your grade, which can really hurt. Recommend, but she's not easy.
WOW WONDERFUL TEACHER SHE IS AMAZING VERY CLEAR ON WHAT SHE WANTS, IS ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP IF YOU NEED IT. GIVES GREAT EXAMPLES ON EACH TOPIC HAS A STORY FOR EVERYTHING, SHE HAS YOU PRINT OUT NOTES AND THE NOTES PERTAIN TO THE TEST. AWESOME TEACHER SHE IS SO HELPFUL AND NICE GREAT EXPERIENCE TAKE INGRAM GREAT FOR NURSING MAJORS. BEST MICRO TEACHE
Fantastic professor, very sweet and patient with everyone.Lecture:six tests,give notes with everything you need to know in bold. last test is not cummilative,tons of chances for extra credit.lab: two easy practicals she gives you a good study guide and quizzes every week and she gives you the answer b4 you take it, what more can you ask for.
Wonderful teacher ...Dr Ingram was always there for you.She did give some extra credit work,and the lab praticals was easy(only if you pay attention to lab and study the lab pratical study guide). Need to study for all her chapter test(bolded information) but overall she taught a interesting class ..
Dr. Ingram is the best. patient and understanding. gives many xtra credits. and tells you what to study for. didn't need book xcept for pics. just study and go to class. easy "A"
VERY DEMANDING CLASS, BUT B/C OF HER I AM DOING EXTREAMLY WELL IN A&P. HERES THE 4-11..YOU HAVE TO STUDY..SHE TELLS YOU WHAT TO STUDY..YOU DONT NEED THE BOOK REALLY...BUT IT DOESNT HELP TO FOLLOW IN THE BOOK B/C IT GOES WITH HER NOTES AND HELPTS YOU UNDERSTAND MORE . YOU WILL WORK FOR YOUR GRADE , BUT THIS CLASS DOES HELP YUOU IN THE LONG RUN! =]
She gives her notes to you at the beginning. Expectations are clearly outlined. She gives EC and is very personable. Gives great examples and stories to make you relate. Lab was cool too. She has made me think about a major in microbiology
My absolute favorite teacher at Valencia. Shes so much fun and helpful! Shes very personal and on your side, she wants you to succeed! The class is not easy by any means but she makes it easy to understand. I 100% recommend taking her. Her labs are fun as well!
Dr. Ingram makes Micro really interesting. Objectives and expectations are clear for class and lab. It is a difficult subject but she gives you the info you need to make a good grade. If you need help she is willing to help. Put in the time and effort and you will pass.
Just Wonderful...makes learning microbiology fun, makes alot of connection to nursing. Recommend her highly.
I highly recommend her. First, I would like to thank her for teaching me so many things. I learned some much in this class that I can use them in the medical field. There are no surpise questions, everything are from the lecture note. If you study few times each week, i guarantee u will get an A. I don't think it's a difficult course. Good Luck
GREAT professor! One of the best at Valencia and this was my 4th semester. Dr. Ingram is SO sweet, very knowledgeable, wants the best for you, has clear expectations. I barely used the book, some people did. I thought lab was harder than class, but you can do well in both if you know how to study. Great class, very interesting, you'll learn a lot
Awesome teacher! She returns emails within a few hours of you sending them which is very helpful. If you just study the notes she gives you, you will do fine. The lab practicals were also pretty decent as well.
The class is hard and you have to keep up. I do not recommend doubling up on science courses when taking this class. However, Ingram is magnificently wonderful and she had cute little stories to help you remember things,
Take her! you learn so much! Yes you have to work for it an study. Not easy A but when you earn that A makes you feel great! She is awesome.
This is the professor you want to take. She uses all techniques when it comes to teaching. She has a great personality. patient, understanding and there is nobody i would have picked over her! you will learn a lot in a way that is different than any other professor. she knows her stuff, you can ask anything and get a real response
She is an awesome teacher!-She is extremely knowledgable and nice. a rare gem of a person.It is not an easy course but she gives lots of extra credit. so u can bumb b to an a. Also she gives study guides and if u know them then youll do well on the tests b/c all ques come from the study guides. what more do u want. Learned alot wish she taught a&p
Absolutely an amazing person and professor. Her notes are great and make the test easy to take. she's so organized. by far best teacher i've ever had, she motivated me to want to go into medicine. if i could take her for every science class, i would. not an easy A, work hard, you'll get one.
Prof Ingram is a wonderful teacher. She is always ready to assist you if you are falling behind and never makes anyone feel dumb. The class is definitely hard, but if you keep up with studying and follow her directions, you should be fine. Little to no E.C.,so get help early if you need it. All said, if you must take this course, you will want her.
GREAT! She is so sweet and she really trys to help you understand the material. She'll even off helpful study techniques. Only downside is that there is A LOT of work and you really need to work for a high grade. I'd take her again for anything!
Very hard but interesting class. You have to attend every class and especially the labs. If you miss one day you will be lost. Study hard and you will do good. Make sure you actually understand her notes not just memorize them. Good luck. Microbe
You will need TIME. This isn't a show up and pass class. Best piece of advice I can give is know the lab quiz material. When studying always review the quiz material you already know it will come back to hurt you if you don't know it. The subject is hard but you wont find a better teacher.
Prof. Ingram is an awesome teacher. She really cares about her students and helping them get good grades. But you actually have to put effort into this class. She gives great pre-written class notes that are bolded on info she tests on. If you have any ?s go to her office and she will answer them ALL. I wish more teachers were like her!
great person and teacher! shes super sweet and will help you whenever you need it. Don't buy book. Buy all the lab manuals. Her tests are confusing and hard, find a good learning style that fits you. I recommend flash cards throughout the entire semster for lab and study the cards constantly. Loved her!
Nice but her class is super hard like im sure any other micro class is. She goes over notes quickly. 1st test she gives u some puzzles to study. Don't bother. Stick with bolded notes.1st LP is easy. 2nd not so much. DONT TAKE CLASS ON TUES/THUR W/TUES LAB. TESTS ALMOST ALWAYS ON TUES AND U HAVE A QUIZ EVERY TUES! U HAVE NO TIME TO STUDY FOR QUIZES!
All she does is read from her notes "word for word". Students love her because she tells you what is on the exams, but she never actually teaches! Horrible teacher, needs to retire! Don't even get me started on lab...
No comment
Use book as reference. Tests based solely on notes. Bolded and Nonbolded appear on tests. Take Quizzes seriously-they add up. EACH Lab Practical 200pts. FLASHCARDS all the way. Lab Practical 2 tip: Google Images the Media bc half of LP2 is based on visual recognition of chem reactions.Other half is Lab Exercise questions & review sheet. I got an A.
She is a great teacher and is always reachable for questions. All tests are based on her notes, so all you need to do is memorize them. She emails you study material for the tests and tells you exactly what you need to know...with no surprises...I worked hard, got an A, and learned a lot. Lab quizzes every week and she gives extra credit.
She was the best teacher I have had of my college career... Extremely nice and understanding, knows her material really well and makes it easy and fun to learn. Study her notes really well (especially the bolded parts) you will do good on her tests.
Best teacher I've had at Valencia. Interesting class. She lets you know exactly what she will test you on. There are no surprizes. She always keeps her office hours and is willing to help students.
Took clsas is summer A, which was a lot of work. I studied her notes and used to book as needed for better understanding. You have to be prepared for her test because some of the questions are tricky. Dr. Ingram is a wonderful teacher and makes learning micro fun! Not much extra credit.
She doesn't return your tests, just give a little time to look over it, not enough. You don't know what you got wrong on the tests so you never learn from the mistakes. She might use the same tests over and over again. I love her teaching but the way she keeps my tests, it really matter to me.
Professor Ingram have a lot of knowledge about Micobiology, she is very helpful, but the class is horrible. It is a lot of information, everyday that you have lab is a little quiz from 5 to 10 questions. There were 4 0 5 test in class or testing center, they are hard test and she used the scantron, so you don't get your test back. Please study
Dr. Ingram is an awesome teacher. By far one of my favorites.. Everything she says she will test you on is true. She is fair and helpful. Very knowledgeable. Lab time is as simple as following her directions. There is a quiz at the beginning of each lab, however she also gives you a review with all the answers prior to. She made the class fun!
For anyone that needs this class take her, she really cares for her students learning & bascially gives you all the material you need, LP2 was easier than LP1, for LP2 the study guide is all you need but for LP1 read the lab manual too study guide somewhat helpful. Lab quiz adds up & are easy except final lab quiz was harder. Her tests are average
Absolutly amazing teacher! One of the best at Valencia. She gives study guides with everything you need to know for the test and the lab quizzes have study guides also. She cares about her students and loves the subject she teaches! If I could take her for another class I would!
yes, she provides study guides-17 pgs long; an enormous amt of info she doesn't cover. Her lectures are unstructured; she's all over the place. Study from day one and self-teach the remaining material. She breezes thru an entire chapt during a lect class of 1.5 hr. unrealistic. I have GPA 4.0, so I will learn material on my own which is not cool
She's nice but her lectures are all over the place - extremely confusing. Around 17 pages of notes to study that aren't organized...I had a 4.0 going into this class - got a B by teaching myself... she's been there too long.
Best Teacher, goes through everything very clearly. Anyone complaining about the notes seriously needs an MRI, because her tests are off all the bold. I get A's on the test from focusing on the notes. She also cares so deeply of her students. Take her
Sweet lady & very helpful, answers any question you have immediately. MCB is not an easy class but she gives you a study packet (16-18 pg's long) for 4 test, + a final. 2 LP's worth 2 test grades (this gave me the opportunity to make up my horrible test scores!) Her LP are easier than lecture test! 10pt quiz every lab(easy). Def. Take her!
Mrs.Ingram is very good at what she does, Micro is not an easy subject so don't think you can miss class and expect to get a passing grade. I came to all lectures and ended up with a B, you have a total of 5 exams, 2 lab practicals and a little extra credit is offered. I strongly recommend taking her if you want an understanding and pass!!!
She is amazing! She gives you typed notes which are where the tests questions come from. You know exactly what to study for with both lecture and lab quizzes/practicals. She makes it really easy to understand. Anybody that says this class is impossible or really hard is lazy. She rocks!
Took hybrid class. Lots of work, but you WILL learn. She is very knowledgeable and helpful. Labs are interesting, but they are long. If you attend lab, practicals should be no issue. If you choose hybrid, keep up with the assignments. You will get way behind and be sorry. If you keep up.....you should do well.
Took the hybrid course.hard class.powerpoints helped but did not cover every thing for lecture test.her recorded lecture only helps a little.i suggest reading the text also.lots of online hw but WILL help ur overall grade.lab practicals r easy, a good way to improve ur grade.weekly lab quizzes and 6 journals about microbe.got an A at the end.
Took the summer hybrid course. Expect to work hard for your grade, it is Science after all so dedication is a must. Dr. Ingram is an amazing professor, she responds to emails quickly, long labs but they are super interesting.If you dedicate time, read the power points and the book you will pass. She gives you lab practical reviews.Best Teacher Ever
Mrs Ingram is a wonderful teacher! The hybrid class requires alot of online hw, which helps your grade! She provides study guides for tests/practicals/quizzes, so you know what to stufy for. Labs are simply following her directions, so everyone is on the same page, and is always willing to help her students! Seriously take her!
Doctor Ingram is a wonderful teacher! She made everything very clear. I wish I could tell you the material is easy but the truth is you have to study your butt off if you want an A or B. She has a quiz before every lab discussion posts every 2 weeks that are a little difficult. 2 assignments a week and the lab practicals are tough.
This teacher is amazing! I was terrified to take micro but this teacher made it interesting! Her teaching style is great once you get the hang of it. I highly recommend her. I've got an A!
keep in mind that this is MICROBIOLOGY and its not going to be the easiest material to learn BUT prof ingram is so helpful and sweet and really does want you to succeed TAKE HER!!! she will help you I promise, I don't see how it would be possible for somebody to dislike her
Professor Ingram is absolutely incredible! Microbiology is not an easy subject and you WILL have to study, however, she gives you all the tools you need to succeed in her class. She lets you know everything that will be on quizzes/tests, no surprises. If you don't do well, you're not trying hard enough because professor Ingram is extremely fair.
Dr. Ingram is awesome. She is very intelligent and she really cares about her students, and this is why I recommend her. I am almost finished with the semester and so far I have an "A". BUT NOTE: This is a very time consuming class, so be careful about which other classes you have scheduled with this class during the semster.
Very nice and helpful. Sends out reminders each week about assignments that are due. Adds random extra credit to some of the quizzes. All in all I would definitely take her class again!!
There are online hw assignments, so book is nec bc of it. Lecture and lab quiz every week. The lab "homework" is actually ec. She gives lec. notes. She's extremely intelligent, and she cares so much about her students. Its a hard course (duh!) but she is a phenomenal professor and I assure you, if you pay attention you will not only pass but learn.
What a breath of fresh air! Lectures are made fun, Labs go quick, and she gives a 1 lab quiz and one lecture quiz every week. They are short 5 question quizzes worth 10 points and they help so much. She even sends you study guides for each one! She gives you lecture notes for each unit, which is what I studied for the tests. Best professor I've had
I took Professor Ingram for not only microbiology but for A&P 1 as well and I would take her again if I could! I took both classes at the same time (be warned most students can't get A's this way) and she's by far the best science teacher I have had at Valencia. if you are taking microbiology and not with her, I feel bad for your loss and your gpa.
Wonderful!! Direction in lab is crystal clear. She has everyone doing the same thing at the same time so she knows it's done correctly. If you have trouble on practicals, it's because you didn't understand the biochemical test results or didn't study. Keep up w online HW or you will get behind. Exams are tough, but doable with good studying.
Great teacher!!!
I really loved taking her, the way she lectures is amazing I learned so much in this class. It is a lot of work and she is a meticulous grader but the tests and quizzes are never a surprise it's just a lot of material. Homeworks helped. She offers extra credit. Do it. Pay attention class and be involved. She makes micro really interesting.
BEST PROFESSOR PERIOD. I must admit, I loved this lady!! Micro can definitely be a difficult course and I did took hers as a hybrid, but she made it overly pleasant. Clear instructions, absolutely no need to guess anything. Loved this class, finished with an A! I must take her again for Anatomy!!!
I took this class during the spring as a hybrid course, prof. Ingram is great! She is very clear on what she expects on assignments and labs. Very helpful, test can be tough if you don't study the power points. Also a good tool to use is the online textbook study site. Many test questions are worded from multiple choice quizzes. Ended with a B.
The BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!!!!!!!!!! Took microbiology class with her. She is VERY clear, organized, makes everything possible for you to succeed in class. Her labs are so much FUN!!! You are never lost in class and always know what to do during labs. Oh my God, there won't be enough words to describe this WONDERFUL AND AMAZING PROFESSOR.
An amazing professor!!!!!!! Took her microbiology class. You always know what to study, and what she expects from you. No surprises, everything according to the syllabus. I am a foreign student and got A+ in class. Of course you need to study what she gives you, but everything is so clear that it is not difficult to study if you put effort to it.
Very helpful, kind, and cares about her students. She gives a quiz every class - but you have clear directions on exactly what to study, so I viewed this as a bonus to get my grade up, not a penalty. Tests were difficult, but if you study (she gives a good guide) you can do well. Not an easy class, but that's the nature of A&P, not her teaching
I had this class online and had to go to a lab once a week to meet. It was super easy online, all of the homework and quiz questions come from the textbook which is essential to get an A, she also assigns "medical scenario" papers but you can get all the information you need from the book. She's super sweet and nice, I would gladly take her again.
This professor is incredible. Super clear, organized, nice, always there to help you... If you are looking for a EXCEPTIONAL Microbiology professor, take her without thinking it twice.
Five minutes of her lectures are actually useful, the rest is her talking about irrelevant information or her reading the notes. 20 pages of notes to memorize, no study guides. Lectures are all over the place. Also, will call you out if you mess up. Will withdraw you if you miss class more than once. You also can't be late.
Just took her recently because several friends told me she was "easy". Her teaching methods have completely changed. Her exams are based on medical type of questions versus learning type of questions. I regret taking her b/c of the amount of hours I spent on studying just to get a C. She is personally nice but her exams are super tough.
She truly is a helpful teacher. Her powerpoint however are very detailed so study that and use the textbook as backup. Her exams are HARDDDDDD. She doesn't give extra credit so you have to work you butt off on those exams. i got a low C :( and tried my hardest. I took her b/c my friends all got A's i'm not sure what happened with her this semester.
its nice to have a helpful teacher but it's how the tests are made that matters. she's awesome but her exams aren't.
Save your gpa and take another micro professor. I wish I would've done the same.
Her class is all over the place. Yes she is a nice lady but she doesn't teach. She's very confusing and she expects perfection from everyone. No matter how much I studied I got Cs and Low Bs her exams. Her quizzes are every day, and are very confusing. They hurt your grade and don't help. I ended with a low C with countless hours of studying.
Excellent college level professor! She really loves what she does. She sends text reminders for homework and journal entries. She moves fast, but all the information you need is in the book and lab manual. THIS CLASS IS NOT FOR CRY BABIES. You will learn a lot, but you will need to put in the time! Tests are tuff, but if I can get an A so can you!
Save your GPA, and take someone else. Yes she is nice, but the class was a confusion. I've taken a&P 1,2 and passed them with As.. this class is just ridiculous and all over the place. I received a C even going the extra mile..
So, in the beginning of the semester you will be really stressed out because you won't know what's going on. Dr Ingram gives out the notes and as long as you learn the notes you will go well. There is a lot of information to learn making it a difficult class. The lab portion is very fun and you will work closely with your group. Would take again.
Her tests are strictly from her power points, she gives lab quizzes every lab day, but she gives you the "lab quiz study guide" the first day of class with exactly all the information that is gonna be on each quiz. The quizzes are only 5 questions and she gives a mini review before the quiz. Only 3 lecture tests 50qts. and 2 lab practical 50qts.
Every lecture included a quiz, and some sort of group activity which was the worst. The group activities were pointless, and tough to learn from. One time we were literally cutting and coloring a worksheet. Then maybe she will lecture for 5 minutes of reading word for word of the notes.. Waste of time, I learned better on my own.. I did get a B.
This class is not easy, but it makes a huge difference when you have an instructor who cares. Tests are difficult, she gives study guides and chapter notes. She gives you all the resources you need. It is ALOT of memorization you have to study. She is easy going and very willing to help with any questions. Very kind, cares about her students.
10 lab quiz worth 100 points (every week) 2 LP worth 400 points( most of them from lab quizs) lecture quiz and homework online everyweek . 5Lecture test (Everything is on the lecture note) She gives study guide, you know what to study .
Prof. Ingram is super nice.. But microbiology is a hard class.. (10) quizzes one per week ... Online homeworks due every week. (5)Online journals one per month. (2) lab practical mid term and final. (5) online chapters test taken in the testing center .. Even if it is an online class!! HARD CLASS!! Get ready to study!!
Please do not listen to these negative comments about Professor Ingram. She is the best micro professor you could take. I got a B in her class but that was only because I was absent quite a bit and missed the quizzes. She always goes over the quiz material right before taking it, extremely easy! She's genuine and loves watching you succeed
Dr. Ingram is an amazing professor. I have no idea what all the neg reviews are about. Micro is hard & this is college. If you can't handle it, you should re-think your career path. Dr. Ingram is extremely helpful, grades quickly & responds to questions super fast. Study bold print in the notes and you will do fine. Best micro teacher at Valencia!
I do not understand her lectures. They are never in order, and half the time she is not teaching. One time she had a student lecturer and they did a better job at explaining the material than she did. Her notes are long, and she is rude/strict. Sometimes she is nice, but I felt like she gets annoyed easily.
She's sweet if you talk to her but I learn from listening and most of the time she read word for word for the notes. I worked super hard for a B, and the online homework and her quizzes prevented me from getting an A
Excellent professor. She will guide you step by step on classroom class or lab. If online, the lecture part is mor challenging due to difficult tests but if you read all powerp and listen to her on her powerp presentations, you are going to be successful. She answers emails/texts within the hour and labs are easy, like, she guide you step by step
Yikes! I'm a biomed student at ucf and this class was horrific. Her exams are super detailed to the point that the text book is needed because her lectures and notes aren't enough. she puts additional information without teaching on her exams. Her lab practical are impossible to pass. Please save your gpa and stay away from this professor.
I took this professor since my past classmates recommended her. Turns out her teaching method and style has changed from previous semesters. I would study 33 hours a week to only get a C on her exams. Her lab practical was super hard to past. I would highly recommend a different professor who tests her students on what is being taught in class.
Tests are tough mainly because she's tests you on everything aside from what she is teaching in class. She doesn't have consistency on her exams making students wonder what and how to study. Find a different professor.
The hybrid version of this class requires a lot of self teaching and online learning. If you like that, then you'll like this class. Her lab (at school) portion was generally boring with a weekly quiz (that she gives study guides for). The 5 online tests are HARD, but the 2 lab practicals were easy. Pay attention and you'll pass.
Horrible. Tough exams and not very detailed in lecture.
Expect surprises on her exams. She's a lovely professor, but she makes her exams far too hard. Yes, this is a science class but she doesn't put what she teaches on her exams.
No matter how much I studied it didn't help. For one to pass this class you have to really know what the professor is thinking because she puts random things on her exams that aren't taught in class.
Two lab practicals which are extremely tough. Use her notes plus textbooks. Many students dropped the first week of class. Her exams are hard and fill ins not multiple choice.
GET A DIFFERENT MICRO PROFESSOR. I took her and failed took a different professor and passed. She's a friendly professor but her exams and practicals aren't. I studied everyday and still didn't pass.
Study her notes and textbook. Be very prepared to be asked questions that aren't from lecture. With that being said memorize the book and notes
Use the textbook and her notes for exams. Some parts of the textbook will be on her exam so utilize that. Her exams are detailed and confuses students. So be careful picking the answers.
Not sure how only 2 students got an A in her class. WE all studied so much in study groups and barely passed. pick a different professor.
Don't make a mistake like me and pick this professor. My gpa is ruined. I did my part studying, youtubing micro, study groups... nothing paid off.
hard tests, hard labs, I'm a biomed student and she makes this class seem nearly impossible to pass.
Dr. Ingram is of the best professors I had at Valencia. She is really passionate about what she teaches. If you study her notes, you can do well on her tests. Lab Tests are extremely HARD. I would definitely recommend her class.
A&P is hard in itself, not bc of the prof. She is a genuinely kind woman who cares about her students' success. Texts due date reminders to us. Small quizzes every class are really easy bonus points. Tests come from the BOOK. YOU MUST READ to thoroughly understand concepts. Classmates and I are super bummed she doesnt do A&P 2. FANTASTIC PROFESSOR!
Professor Ingram is really sweet and a great professor. This is a difficult class. It's the nature of the material, not the professor. Test questions are from either the notes (she provides), homework, or online power points. She is always available and very helpful if you have any questions. Be prepared to put in the work. Gives extra credit.
If you're not up to actually study and work hard for this class, then good luck trying to find someone else in Valencia that will give you what you need if you're going into the medical field. She'll give you answers before quizzes and the exams are from notes, quizzes, and online homework. Study those and you'll be fine. Labs are cool.
I like to rate my Professor at the beginning of the semester AND the end. With just a few weeks into class, she lets you know right off the bat that this is definitely a class that you have to work for. With any science class, this is true. She is very sweet, intelligent, and helps you in any way she can. Definitely buy the book and READ/STUDY!!
Excellent professor. She is very clear about what you need to study. Know her powerpoints and memorize the required pathogens and you'll breeze through. Great sense of humor. She sets you up to succeed if you want to!
She's is AWESOME in so many ways! The class is not easy but she makes it fun and interesting. She different ways of teaching, like visual, hands in training and writing (Pre-labs). If you really work for it you will get a good grade, I did not put a lot effort and I had a high B. She always provides Study guides and if there is time review it.
I got an A in this class, but you definitely need to study! Her first 2 exams are very difficult and then it gets a little better! Attend all classes for extra credit at the end of the semester and READ all notes! She is a very understanding and caring professor! Not the best at teaching, study the notes on your own or in a group.
AWESOME PROFESSOR. she works hard for her students, she provides you with everything you need to know on every test and quiz. This does not mean you dont have to work for it, but she makes it as easy for you as she can. Funny, adorable and by far my favorite teacher yet.
You would be INSANE to take any other Micro teacher at Valencia. She is the best because of how detailed her notes are. You can studt her notes and never look at the book and pass the tests. You have to work to get an A, but its not back breaking.
BEST science professor I have ever had! She made learning the material fun, gave study guides, and made sure everyone knew the material before moving on. Her lab was a little more difficult but you learn A LOT. I absolutely loved her class and would take her again in a heartbeat!!!
I absolutely adore Professor Ingram. She is by far the best influencer. She is very kind, and caring but also very eager to teach the material that is needed to succeed in your future endeavors. She has a lot of experience and you would be insane not to take her. I wish she taught A&P 2 as I would take her again in a heart beat.
Took as a hybrid class. Won't do that again!! She is very nice and approachable. She knows her stuff, and makes sure you know it also. Gives lots of help and EC. I will definitely be taking her again for Microbiology. It's unfortunate she does not teach AP2. You won't be disappointed if you choose her class!! Definitely recommend!!
She is caring professor, but the material is not well covered in class. Micro is not easy, but this class is full of HW, 4-5 chapters test every 2 weeks, 2 quizzes every week. I really do not know how I saw reviews about this class before.
This class is mostly self-taught. There are tests every other week and quizzes every class. Nice lady but her teaching stinks!
She is definitely a good professor. Micro is hard itself so there is no way you can get an easy A or B. Prepare to read and actually study. Lots of homework but as long as you spend time you will get full credits out of it. Unit test is not easy but it is possible to get at least a B if you spend time and know the stuff.
In the beginning of the semester i wasn't a fan, but definitely recommend her now. Micro is hard so you have to work hard and study hard. There are quizzes every week but it helps your grade a lot. Study the notes, power points and connect homework questions and you'll do good on the tests. Work hard and you can easily get and A or B. Great Prof!
The hardest part for this class are the unit tests. Even you have read the textbook and powerpoint there is not guarantee that you can get an A. But lab midterm and lab final are easy though. I only missed two or three questions on both of them. The key is that make sure you study for every lab quiz every week and understand the labs purposes.
Awesome Teacher! This is my 2nd class with her, and sad I do not need anymore! Very nice, and caring. Microbiology is not an easy class by any means, but she makes it manageable. Gives Extra Credit, so that helps with the grades. Tests and Lab Practicals are pretty straight forward. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!!
Took this class Summer term, it's pretty hard! A LOT of HW, quizzes every week and tests in the testing center. Midterm and Final are an in class lab test, worth 200 points. HW is over 100 questions, 2-3 of them per week plus Sunday night HW 20-30 questions. Be ready to do a lot of HW and memorize everything, including spelling!
Professor Ingram is a phenomenal professor. She is caring, and wants her students to succeed. I am personally a student that prefers to have multiple assignments weigh grades. A lot of homework BUT it weighs heavy on your grade. If you study and put forth the effort you should, you will succeed.
I know Microbiology is not an easy class but for her class it is teach yourself, in lecture all she does is read off the powerpoint and her lecture exam are hard. She does give extra credit but even with that many students had C's and D's. She is also very negative about certain things she talks about. I do NOT recommend her class at all!!
Professor Ingram is an amazing teacher. She makes sure you understand the material and listens to your feedback on how she can help you and is very knowledgable. She also gives a lot of extra credit opportunities:). Micro is a hard class so obviously you still have to put in the work so as long as you're doing that you will pass this class.
Professor Ingram is awesome. I would definitely take her again. Microbiology is a hard subject but she makes it doable. She clearly lays out expectations with study guides to help along the way. She also gives lots of extra credit opportunities. Take her!!
Failed all test with Fs and Ds , passed both practical with high As and did all extra credit and ended with a B. No matter how much you study for lectures test they are difficult. Lab quizzes easy. Professor gets off topic but she is a sweet lady.
Sweet Lady, off topic at all times, easy lab quizzes, test are extremely hard. Practical straight forward. If youre not a good test taker you should still be able to get a B. Shes a sweet lady
Nice Professor but goes off topic almost everyday. She doesnt cover each chapter. Lab quizzes are easy, lecture test are hard no matter how much you study. Practical are life savers so if you not a good test taker you can still get a B.
I took this class as a hybrid class and when we came to class we only did lab. You had to learn the other material on your own but she did EVERYTHING to ensure you are successful. Each test had a practice test that you could take multiple times and it was the same as the test, before the lab quizzes we reviewed all that was on the quiz.
I loved professor Ingram. Took the hybrid course and while there was work due every week it's def. possible to get an A. She is very clear in her expectations and gives study guides for everything. Lecture tests were super easy, and for the most part labs were interesting. I can't imagine another microbiology teacher being more straightforward.
Super easy class. Took the hybrid-lab was on campus. Practice tests for exams are the exact same questions for the exam. Lab quizzes are so easy, she reviews answers before. She walks you through every lab. EC on every quiz and lab questions are EC. She's very nice. Easy grader on the one paper due. Never used the book. Ended up with 102%.
This Professor is absolutely amazing. She gives you a CLEAR outline of what she expects the entire semester. Literally could not be any more clear. Her tests come straight from the practice tests. She literally is placing the A in front of your face but it is up to you to put in the work. Shes so sweet too.
This class is definitely not easy, but it is microbiology, so it should be complicated. Given that, I think that she made it as easy as possible. Homework is online, and you get unlimited attempts. Most of the test questions are in the practice quizzes, so study them. There is one practical, most of the questions are from lab manual.
She's easily the best professor I've had at Valencia. Her lectures are amazing, and her labs are very fun and interesting. She does make you work for your grade, and an A will not be easiest to achieve, but it's certainly possible with effort. Her study guides have everything you need to know for the exams, and the exams are very fair.
Great professor, very clear and organized. Makes lecture and labs very fun. Gives lots of extra credit. MCB2010 is not easy but she makes it understandable, and really cares for her students. She really want every to pass and extremely positive. Two lab practicals, 5 test and of coarse hw and quizzes. Use her notes to study for the test!!!!
Not an easy class but Ingram makes it as easy as she can while still making you learn. Gives study guides and the tests are directly from there. You have to put in the work but if you do, you will do well. She truly cares about her students success and gives out a lot of EC. TAKE HER you won't regret it. She's the best professor I've ever taken!
This class is in general a hard class. Ingram makes it a little easier and gives out little extra credit. If you do okay on tests & good on lab practicals you will pass. There are a lot of lab quizzes and lecture quizzes just be prepared to study.
I had the privilege to have Dr. Ingram for Micro this summer fully online and I have to say that she was incredible. She was always very kind, understanding, she would answer texts right away, and extremely encouraging. I got an A in her class because of a lot of help from my family and from the tutoring sessions. This class is no joke! STUDY!!!
I loved her so much. Microbiology is officially my favorite subject. I studied for the recommended 10-15 hours a week and got the highest grade on almost every exam. If you study, it is sooo extremely doable. Just schedule study time in your planner. Wish I could take this course with her again! Miss you Mrs. Ingram!
I made this just so I could tell everyone how amazing Professor Ingram is! I took her mixed-mode class. I was nervous about not doing it face-to-face but Professor Ingram was very clear about what she expected from you for the week so it was a breeze. She was very caring. Flashcards will be your best friend!! STUDY STUDY STUDY and you will be okay!
I was so nervous about taking microbiology. She made it so accessible and easy to comprehend. The quizzes were pretty easy for me, as long as you have good study habits you'll be fine. The Lab Practicals are pretty straight forward and as long as you do fine on the lab quizzes you'll do good on the lab practical. Take her!!! SHE IS AMAZING!
Microbiology itself is a difficult course with a lot of material that needs to be memorized. Professor Ingram is SO GOOD. You have to participate and do your end of the job to earn the grade you want but she will make sure you pass. I enjoyed her class so much and I learned A LOT. She makes micro fun and the work is do-able. You won't regret it.
She is very nice and she made microbio understandable. her exams were difficult but you honestly just need to study a lot outside of class. She gave us a weekly quiz in which she reviewed the material before the quiz. Her class was difficult and you have to study a lot but she is a really good professor. Get the book on time you will need it.
Dr. Ingram is the sweetest lady. As a person I really like her, but as a professor not so much. There is zero grace if you miss an assignment, even if you're sick. Her tests are very hard. She gives so much homework it's so hard to have time to study. Most of the time the homework didn't even have much to do with what was on the test.
Dr. Ingram is the sweetest lady! I can't say anything negative about her personally. I would definitely retake her class but ONLY in person. Be prepared for so much homework. If science isn't your strong point I wouldn't take her class. Her tests are extremely hard. Lab practical (both) are worth 200 pts.
Dr. Ingram is one of the best science professors I have had! This was a challenging course but she made it easy to understand with multiple pre-lab assignments and readings. The tests were very straight forward and the lab practical reviews were so helpful!
Professor Ingram is amazing! She truly wants everyone to do well in her class. The tests are straightforward, and all media + pictures are on the canvas page. The more you read about the different media/cultures and participate, the better you will do in the class. Be prepared to spend a lot of time outside of the class reviewing the material.
Micro is tough no matter who you take, but she makes it manageable. She posts the info that shows up word for word on the quizzes, the unit tests come straight from the homework questions, and the practicals are based on what you've done in class. It can feel like a lot at times, but an A is definitely possible if you keep up. Just study = an A.
