Professor Herzog is awesome!! He is passionate about teaching microbiology, this is not an easy A. If you're taking this class as a prerequisite for nursing school, this is a great class to take. You must understand and be able to answer the questions on the study guides for the exams. Make sure you don't skip class and write notes as he lectures.

He is a very knowledgeable, sweet guy. Be ready to do your own home study if you want a good grade on this class. Exams 3&4 are the most difficult ones of the entire semester. He does give easy quizzes at the beginning of every class and study guides for ALL tests. He is very detailed about the whole course, makes sure students really understand.

I can almost guarantee you that you won't learn a thing in his class. He knows about MBIO, but he's a terrible teacher. The class alone is more of a trivia then an actual MBIO learning class. Exams are based ONLY on the study guides. On the bright side you can get an easy B/A in the class, but you won't learn anything doing so.

Lots of homework

His class is easy as long as you study. Everything on exams comes from the study guides that he gives out and makes sure you have the right answers for. Labs are boring and he can be a bit rude but I thought his class was great regardless!

YOU WILL SLEEP IN CLASS I GUARANTEE IT! HE VERY SPECIFIC IN WHAT HE TEACHES AND IF YOU GO A LITTLE OFF TOPIC, YOU WILL FAIL THAT CHAPTER. SUPER SPECIFIC IN HIS ASSIGNMENT AND GOES OVER IT AGAIN TWICE. I TOOK AP BIO IN HIGH SCHOOL AND I LEARNED FROM THERE THAN I DID HERE. ONCE HE TURNS ON THE PRESENTATION AND TURNS OFF THE LIGHTS... YOU WILL SLEEP!

In this class you will not learn anything. You will be forced to review his study guides and try to remember everything. His lectures are just him babbling on from his love of micro. He knows the subject; He is just not meant to teach. He also LACKS RESPECT. If you are a person who demands the respect you give, he will get you mad at least once.

Skip class? You won't pass.
