Take him! He writes his own notes on board and that is all you need to study for exams. I learned a lot in his class and I recommend it. All I did was go through my notes and didn't miss a lecture. Tests are a majority of your grade so be prepared. I also recommend taking his class with his lab because it helps both ways.

This is the professor you need for your lecture and lab. Class is easy and simple, he will explain in deep detail what you need to know for test. Pay attention and do reviews and most importantly ask him questions. He loves to answer them until you understand. You will love his way of teaching. Thank you Dr Kay, glad taking your classes.

Best Professor for Microbiology Lab & Lecture. I learned a lot from his class, he makes even the most intricate topics appear simple by his simple ways of explaining the details. Just attend his class, and write down whatever he says, even if it is off the record. Ask questions when you don't understand, and don't ever miss his exam reviews.

Dr. Kay is AWESOME! I took his class online for Microbiology Lecture (2320) in Spring '24 and he put everything in simpler terms. He doesn't mind explaining the material at all. We had 4 exams plus the departmental and comprehensive, they were competitive but Dr. Kay's study guides are always on point! 10/10 would recommend!

The professor was great even though our class is fully online. He gives zero homework but mainly focuses on tests. Try to learn by his lectures videos since most of the tests are based on his lecture videos. He curved my grade from an B to an A. Recommend to take him!!

Professor Kay is a fantastic instructor who makes complex topics engaging and easy to grasp. While the exams can be challenging, his study guides are invaluable. Attending lectures and using resources like Unstuck AI for prep are key to success in this course.

Dr.K is an amazing passionate professor, he does not have any PowerPoints so make sure you take good notes during lecture.. his test are exactly what he says in the lectures so pay attention! HE really wants you to understand the concept so always ask questions if you're confused

Concepts are dense, like all this scary looking equipment, but with lectures, he's all nah, look, this does this and this does this and then this does this, so that's how you get this. And we're like ooooooh...WHOA, WAIT! WE JUST BUILT A BRIDGE! And he's like exactly, you got it. Just. Wow. Loved this class. **take notes!; 3 exams, 2 finals**

He provides study sessions. Attend them. For laboratory, on the last day, he makes you perform an experiment and you only get either 0 or 100. Memorize and practice the procedure. It's not that hard. He is passionate with what he's teaching but not always easy to understand. I think it's better if you take him for lecture and labs at the same time.

Do not take this professor if you care about your GPA. He constantly runs behind, doesn't follow the syllabus, and forgets what he tells us. No textbook, no quizzes, no homework, no extra credit. Exams are your only grade. We took Exam 2 in April and still have two left with just weeks to go.

Not a good professor. Shows up SO late to class, gives us vague reviews that are over about 10% of the tests he gives us, so slow. Loses his patience quickly and can be rude if you don't get it. I don't understand all of the good reviews. He's a good lecturer but that's about it.

For a 5 wk course, he makes a hard class extremely easy. Immersive lectures & will dumb down concepts w/o making you feel dumb. Sweet & funny guy, can tell he def wants you to succeed. Always willing to help. Show up to class, take notes, ask questions & pay attention!!! Hw is easy (pearson), 4 exams (drops lowest) + 1 final

Participation matters. It's 10% of the grade and he doesn't give partial credit even if you attend some classes. He's very rigid and gave a third of the class a 0 for participation, meaning a whole letter grade lower. He does have a temper and gets frustrated. He threw a slide at me during lab. Not hard but strict. Not understanding.
