Professor Romero is one of the best professors around. He is everything a real educator should be, and goes out of his way to help students understand and succeed. He is passionate, allows plenty of time for questions, is nurturing and guides students toward conceptual practice/thinking. He does not believe in free passes - you earn your grade.
Professor Romero is THE BEST!!! Do urself a favor and take his class!!! He truly cares about his students. U can learn a lot from him! I did! Easy short hw! Exams are coming directly from his slides, and are not hard if u really study for it! He is very fair and very passionate about teaching! Microbiologist at heart!!! Thank u professor!
Microbiology is a tough class, however, Professor Romero makes it much easier. The homework is easy. The lecture exams can be easy if you study for them. Professor Romero is very good with emails and is very willing to help his students succeed. His knowledge of the course material is extensive. If he offered more classes i would take them.
Great teacher, answers all questions, very patient - always willing to explain over and over again until each student understands. Loves and knows his work and is super devoted to course to students and to subject matter! He made microbio as easy and clear as it can be!
Definitely is one of the most passionate teachers in Bmcc. He's always eager to help students with assignments and problems. Very clear about what he expects from students. His lectures were very interesting and informative. Very professional approach and can be funny at times. He is by far the greatest professor I've ever had.
Professor Romero is by far one of the best professors ever! His sincere concern n desire for student success combined with his passion and knowledge about microbiology creates a great learning environment. He works hard to present all the information in an easy to understand way (which is a challenge in its self considering its microbiology).
Professor Romero is an excellent professor! He is very knowledgeable and devoted to making his students understand the subject. His grading criteria is very clear and fair. I strongly recommend taking his course. I definitely learned a lot from him, one of my favorite professors!
Awesome teacher! I would take him again without doubt. Highly recommended!
Professor Romero is a GEM at BMCC. He is passionate about his work which reflects in his students. I didn't do well on my first exam but he reassured me not to memorize but to understand Microbiology, after that I grasp the concept and it also helped me understand about diseases in health care which I am currently working in.
I took Professor Romero's BIO 420 Microbiology during the spring semester 2017. I would definitely recommend this teacher if you are going to take Microbiology. He has very clear grading criteria which is followed strictly during the semester. He provides detailed feedback for the lad report that we are asked to write.
Prof Romero is a rare gem, his enthusiasm makes you care about micro bio. His lectures are informative and enjoyable. He breaks down complex ideas and is patient in explaining why things work. He's transparent about grades, expectations and gives valuable feedback. He encourages and supports students. He deserves a "6" on this scale.
Prof Romero made me want to work hard, he loves what he teaches and he knows his stuff!!His lectures and labs are very enjoyable! He emphasizes through out the semester that, he wants his students to not just remember things, but also to understand them. He is prompt in responding emails and offers tutoring too! He was great, I would recommend him!
I liked his class I tried my best but so disappointed of my final grade Keep in mind that for him its very important his exams only I guess on my final I was nervous and made simple mistakes No matter how excellent you do HW Lab reports team presentation WON'T HELP YOU ToGet A The saddest that I was LESS than 1 POINT away from A minus so UNFAIR.
Professor Romero is truly a wonderful teacher. He is very patient, informative, and kind. Microbiology is a dense and difficult subject as is, but Romero makes it interesting. He puts so much work into his classes, making sure each student understands every topic. He also has a wonderful personality and is very funny! Def would take him again.
Great and intelligent professor! Clear grading criteria, well organized lectures and labs. He makes sure students understand the material and knows what he is talking about. If you do not understand the material attend office hours or email for help. Also, he makes the material interesting and applicable to real life situations. Highly recommend!
Professor Romero is a microbiologist teaching Micro. He is very knowledgeable and conducts research at one of the most prestigious institutes in the country. He is one of the best science professors I have ever had. His grading is clear and exams are straightforward IF you study your slides/notes; reinforce with the book when necessary. Take him.
Professor Romero genuinely cares about his students and enjoys teaching. His lectures are thorough and informative and he focuses only on the information he feels is most important. He also makes himself available outside of class. Exams are not too difficult if you pay attention and include multiple choice with a few short answer questions.
Professor Romero is one of the MOST enjoyable professors out there. He likes what he is teaching and also cares that his class passes. He is thorough and always glad to go over concept anyone is confused about, watering down any tough material. And he is an enjoyable professor, I DEFINITELY wished all my professors were like him.
Prof Romero is kind and really cares about his students. He takes the time to answer questions and help outside of class. He is an expert in his field, but he is also prepared and a good teacher. I dont think many professors have all these qualities. This is not an easy A, but you will learn, which is useful if you want to be a nurse.
Romero is an outstanding professor! He's very knowledgeable and passionate about micro. He teaches from the heart, he is PRO student! u must work for your grade. Follow his SLIDES and pay attention to what he discusses. His test are extremely fair! he prepares you well & offers every second of his time to help ensure u grasp everything. TAKE HIM!
prof Romero is great! one of the best I've had thus far! Micro is an extremely hard topic but he makes it that you understand to the best of ur ability. don't bother with the book unless you want extra info. his slides & lectures are just what you need! extra credit available! Listen to what he says and you'll do great! HE NEEDS TO BE AWARDED!
I obviously haven't gone around taking a bunch of Microbio courses to compare it to, but I just wouldn't believe if you said there was a better one out there. Romero is knowledgeable, professional, concise, and attentive. He really cares about your success in and beyond the class. Learn from the best, to be your best.
Romero PhD is teaching you a solid foundation for any healthcare major/He is teaching in BMCC by Columbia standards/I really appreciate that he cares about his students and always make sure that you learned the materials/He is respected/dedicated/knowledgeable/fair/and organized/i'm honored i was in his class/highly recommend/not an easy A/thanks
He gives good feddback and he's accessible outside class. His lectures are great and he knows his stuff. You will get seven chapters for every exam. The class is not easy you has to work for the grade. what you get is what you get on your final grade.
Professor Romero genuinely wants to see students succeed. I was fortunate enough to have him as a mentor for several semesters. The type of research I was able to conduct under Professor Romeros guidance was a true gift. Because of Romero I conducted research at Rockefeller U. &at BMCC & presented at numerous conferences. Romero Inspirational
Professor Romero, is a great mentor. Passionate to teach, encourage and never gives up on his students. Always makes you see the brighter side of things. Great 1-1 mentoring. I honestly couldn't ask or any better.
Professor Romero is one of the best professors I have taken. He is passionate about Microbiology and his way of teaching made the material easier to understand. He cares about his students' learning process and was easily accessible outside of class, through email or in person. The way he gives his lessons shows the importance of Microbiology.
If you want to work hard, learn and succeed in nursing take Romero. He made micro digestible and easy to learn, but on a Ivy League Scale. 10 extra points on exams, answers emails in minutes, grades posted instantly. 2 lab exams and reports, team presentation, connect HW, 4 lec exams. Study his slides daily to get that A. Its been such an honor!
Professor Romero is definitely one of the best professors in science department. Each of his lectures is well prepared and presented, and his demonstrations in lab set standards for students. He always make sure you learn and progress, encourages you not giving up in any adversities. Such a caring and influencing professor! Proud to be his student!
If I could clone Prof. Romero, I would. He is the leading example of how all profs should teach. Although I didn't reach that A-, I fought hard for a very decent grade. Do the connects and don't wait to study. In his class, you must study to LEARN and NOT to memorize. If you do this, you'll do well in his class.
Professor Romero is an impeccable professor and human being. I can guarantee you that if your looking of a professor that expresses passion on another level through their teaching and work and is very accessible outside of class and so caring and relatable on so many levels he's your man. He's definitely worth knowing . Such an inspiration to me.
Professor Romero is an excellent professor that knows his subject very well. He knows how to break down complex concepts into digestible bites of information that facilitates student learning. His passion about microbiology easily flows through in the way he teaches and when he mimics microbial movement. Overall, highly recommended.
Professor Romero is without doubt one of the best professors you can find on BMCC. He is VERY smart and very passionate about microbiology. You will learn and love this subject. Very clear grading criteria. Study hard from the powerpoint presentations and you will earn an A. He is friendly and motivational. He corrected the 4 test on the same day!!
I really enjoyed his microbiology class. This class is tough and you have to study in order to get a good grade. However, Professor Romero is the best science professor in BMCC. He is a fair grader and is available through email or office hours. He also offered review sessions. His lectures are clear and his exams are based on what he taught.
Prof. Romero is an excellent teacher. He makes the lecture very interesting and provides lots of information where the book isn't nec. Attendance is mandatory to understand the content and for exams. Book only needed for HW, class notes and slides is all you need. He is open to answering all q's and is very respective of his students.
Prof. Romero is the best professor Ive had in recent years. He genuinely wants his students to understand the concepts and build their knowledge base, which makes his lectures way more interesting and dynamic. If you study his lectures/powerpoints the exams are tough, but fair. Highly recommend if learning is important to you!
What can I say, he is an incredible Professor. I took him for micro fall of 2018. It is so clear how passionate he is about Microbiology and teaching. You need to be in class everyday as his lectures is where you will learn what you need to know. He also extends office hours for those in help so take advantage. Go to class, study and participate.
Be ready to ready. STUDY! STUDY! STUDY! Record the lecture, study the slides and do ALL HW assignments and you will be fine. One thing he constantly mentions is to study the slides and study to understand not to memorize. Listen and pay close attention especially in lab everything is crutial.
He is knowledgeable but it is a hard class, you have to work for a good grade. It is doable but you need to be very serious. Read the textbook and take notes at the same time. At times, the professor can be inconsiderate and take off points. Also, he gets annoyed very easily. Overall he is okay.
Amazing professor!!! Microbiology is very hard class but prof Romero makes it very interesting. He likes to teach and he's always available in his office hours, always reply to email. His grading very fair. Prof Romero gives KNOWLEDGE! Would definitely take him again and again! An A+ professor!
He is an easygoing professor. Prof. Romero tends to talk about random stuff about microbiology at times. He doesn't drop grades so make sure you study ahead of time. Sometimes the lecture can be a drag because it's alot of material. Overall he is mediocre at best but he knows his stuff. If you are extremely smart you'll get along with him.
Professor Romero is wonderful. I like him so much. He is really nice and very professional. He always be prepared, and never late for class even though it begins at 8:00 am and he lives far away from school. He always respect his students, extended his office hours for us. I went to his office almost every week. Thanks a lot dear professor!
Professor Romero is really professional and nice person! If you want to learn something to prepare Nursing Major, he is your choice. You will see how good he is! Because of my English levels, Biology is really hard to me, but professor Romero made easy for me to read. I stop by his office almost very week. Thanks for extending office hours for us.
Prof. Romero lectures really well, sometime the topics are interesting and he knows it really well. His grading criteria is straight forward as well. He gives Extra Credit questions on all of the exams but the exams are difficult. He gives you basically everything you need to do well, but its alot. He does an okay job explaining difficult topics.
First time Ive rated a professor, but I had to make the exception if you have the chance, take him! He is honestly one of the only professors Ive EVER had that actually had a passion for what he taught. He is a pro at explaining hard topics & making you truly understand how and why things work. We need more educators like him in this system -R.D
This class is not an easy class but I really enjoyed studying it. I have learned a lot of interesting topics in this class. Professor Romero made it very fascinating and he is very nice, passionate, knowledgeable and approachable. If you want to have a good grade, you really need to study hard and do all the assignments! Take him!
Professor Romero is one of the best professors I have taken. He is passionate and loves his subject and thats reflected in his amazing lecture. If you want to learn, take him. He is the professor that will make an impact in your academic life. He cares about his students and want them to succeed. Multiple choice and short answers questions.
Dr. Jose Fernandez Romero is in a league of his own when it comes to teaching. He is fair, respectful, knowledgeable, understanding, and always gives you 110% of his effort. He tries his best to make sure everyone understands the material and grades fairly. His class is not a pushover he will put you to work but its reasonable you just have to try!
Professor Romero was hands down the best lecturer I have had. He takes his time to answer all questions. Some professors allow students to talk, text or fall asleep in class. Romero demands the respect that he gives his students. He is never late and is always prepared. He is passionate about his work and is shows. He is a true inspiration.
Professor Romero is one of the best professors I have ever had. He loves Microbiology and he cares so much for his students' understanding of the material. He will help you understand complex concepts, and yes UNDERSTAND them not just memorize them. You have to study and make effort to get a good grade. He respects you and expect the same from you.
This class was really amazing. There was never a boring time! I completely loved this class! The information that you will obtain from this class is pure gold! He always pushed us to go beyond our boundaries of thinking. He is someone who will help you understand the material and definitely not a class a ever skip
Just do the work, He isnt the worst but he gets annoyed easily. Class can get boring. But he is fair
He is one of the best professors at BMCC. His passion for microbiology is reflected in his amazing lectures. He gives 100% in his lectures The proper way to study for his exams is to understand the material and not memorizing. He is inspirational, and he cares so much for his students! He will make an impact in your academic and personal life.
I learned a lot from taking his class. I come to appreciate the world we don't see. He comes prepared to teach. He is clear of what we should expect from him and likewise from us. If you prepare; you will learn. I respect his honesty and his desire to teach microbio. Everythings counts it may not seem a big deal but at end everyting adds up.
Professor Romero is inspiring. He is the professor that will help you understand the material. Do not go to class expecting to just memorize and leave and vomit it all on the exam. That's not how school works. He uses multi media to teach so its an excellent class for different learners. So far, best professor in BMCC. Others should learn from him!
Professor Romero is a dedicated teacher who goes the extra mile so his students will succeed. Lectures are engaging and clear and he is extremely generous with his time and knowledge. Memorizing is not what microbiology is about. Exams test your understanding. It is a lot of material to absorb in summer so consider taking it fall or spring.
Dr. Romero is incredible. You will not find someone more knowledgable and passionate about teaching. Come ready to listen and learn. He is big on respect and being present. I was very lucky to grab a seat in his class and while the class kicked my butt I learned a ton. If your ready to work in Lab AND Lecture, go for it.
The absolute best lot of work but he breaks it down until everyone understands when you talk about passion for what you do you are describing this professor he takes pride in his work and is so passionate about teaching do not expect a good grade if you don't study pay attention in class and it's an easy A I'd take any class he teaches
This class is alot of work. It can be long and boring. The professor is okay. He provides extra credit but they are given as exam questions which can be quite difficult.
Professor Romero is one of the greatest professors I have ever had. He is very nice, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure you understand the concepts. His exams are well-designed to show you understand the concept and overall this was a great class. I wish all professors could be like him I truly enjoyed his class! 10/10!
He is one of the best professors. He made sure that we all understood the concept. The exam was extremely fair. You just need to take good notes and go over the slides. He gives a lot of extra credit. He is truly an inspiration. He always works hard so that, we can succeed in the class. Something that we all should learn from him.
Hey guys, if you take this Professor I can guarantee you that you will not regret. He is the best professor ever. He teaches really well and clear. He is very interactive with the students. He is very nice and grading is on what you deserve.
Professor Romero is the greatest professor I have ever met. He dedicates more time required by the school to make sure his students understand the materialsmore office hours for questions and he doesnt need to do these at all, but if you are seeking for help, he always be there. Class is doable but you will learn more than just science from him.
Amazing Professor! Truly one of the best professors. Makes you learn Microbio that is application based and hands on in lab. Always offers his time to help students who are struggling with the material and gives great feedback on lab reports in a timely fashion. Exams could be difficult if you dont study the material. 100% recommends his courses.
He is just great, do the work and you will succeed in his course.
Professor Romero was one of the few professors who made learning a dense science topic enjoyable. His lectures were engaging and he just wants the effort he puts in back. I appreciate everything he did to make a difficult semester (COVID Spring), easier.
Dr. Romero is the best Professor I ever had and it was an honor to be his student. He is respectful, inspirational, caring, and impactful, overall a wonderful human being; qualities that many other Professors lack. His teaching style is exceptional compared to other Professors. I wish to be like him in the future when I become a professional.
I took Micro420 during the summer as an online course with prof Romero, he is an exemplary professor, gives clear concise explanations on all topics, and is very organized. I am almost certain I did well in his class, and would not think twice if I had to take one of his classes again. One of the few gems at BMCC!
Professor Romero is an example of what a professor should be&do! Very respected,organized, dedicated&passionate about what hes doing! He gives you everything youll need with clear instructions in the beginning so therere no surprises in the middle! The most organized person I have ever seen! Always reachable&helpful! Always answers emails! Best!
Professor Romero, is absolutely fantastic. Trust me, TAKE HIM as your professor. He genuinely cares about his students and always makes himself available for ALL his students. If you do not understand something, he will MAKE sure you will feel confident after helping. I will definitely take everything he taught me into my nursing career!
He is a true gem. He is so passionate about what he teaches. His lectures are so detailed and then you can ask anything you dont understand on zoom he will explain again. Although it was an online class he got so creative with everything and I felt like I got alot out of the class. Super organized, always replies to emails and always so helpful.
Prof. Romero is probably the best Professor Ive had at BMCC. He is super knowledgeable and passionate and it carries through. Microbiology is a hard class but this prof. actually makes the topic interesting and digestible. I highly recommend taking him and taking the class seriously. He is accessible and answers questions! A great educator
BE PREPARED TO WORK. This is not a easy class and is not a easy A. However, Professor Fernandez puts so much passion into his teaching & no question goes unanswered. He responds to emails quickly, hes organized, & he genuinely wants you to learn & pass. There needs to be more professors like him at BMCC . He makes you want to be a better student!
. I was told it was hard to pass. Then i met prof fernandez and he changed my way of thinking. He is very intelligent and truly holds the art of teaching. I not only learn what i needed to be able to pass but also the knowledge i need for my next level in my prospective career. Prof is an assest to BMCC and i hope that other professor can emulate.
Great professor who loves his job, he makes sure you understand the material and his main focus is making sure his students learn. If you wanna learn and understand BIO420 I recommend his class!
I Really enjoyed this class because yes the material is heavy but he was 100% FAIR. Its definitely a class that is worth taking because he is willing to help you during or outside of class incase you didn't understand something. He is excellent with email response just overall a great class. But like I said you have to put in work for your grade.
Amazing professor, always makes extra time for students. I've even emailed him for homework help since I've finished the class and he still gives in-depth answers. He cares a lot and all you need to get a good grade is to do the work and show you care too. You would be *very lucky* to take his class.
Prof. Romero takes the time to explain his lectures and will answer all your questions. He encourages discussions because he wants to make sure you understand everything . If you are considering taking microbiology be prepared to study ALOT, he makes you work for your grade, but he is fair! He answers emails quickly and is always willing to help!
Professor Romero is an absolute gem and such an asset to BMCC. It's rare to come across such a truly passionate professor, and he's just that. If you want to learn as much as he wants to teach, then take him and you won't be disappointed. He also adapted so well to the course being online and was very organized. It was an honor to be his student!
I took BIO 420 (Microbiology) with Professor Romero and have absolutely no regrets. Professor Romero is not only passionate about teaching, but also genuinely wants to help his students succeed in his class and beyond. The material is not easy, but Professor Romero is always willing to help and makes himself very easily accessible. 100% recommend!
This professor lacks integrity. If you notice this, please say something. A professor should have integrity in academic settings, especially Borough of Manhattan Community College's campus, including online courses.
Professor Romero sets you up to succeed. He dedicated most of class time to clearly explaining anything we had questions about and included extra credit opportunities on every exam. He is extremely knowledgeable and kind, and respects all the students. If you put in the effort, you will do well and enjoy the learning process. Best professor!
Prof Romero, is passionate, empathetic, and inspiration person who dedicated time to any student who needs it. His work is fair, there is lots of reading, studying, and work to be done prior to each meet, but this is MicroBio. He dedicates time to breakdown topics and still ensure a class environment with breakout room to engage socialization.
Take him! Professor Romero is an excellent professor, always there to answer any of your questions. Gives extra credit on each exam. He respects all his students and wants everyone to succeed not only in his class but also in their future careers. I would take him again. Best professor at BMCC!!!
Professor Romero is amazing! Please take him if you want to learn a lot. He makes sure every single student in the class understands the material and always encourages to ask questions. He would repeat what he said over and over again until you understand the material. He is inspirational and believes in his students. Highly recommend!
This professor is very passionate about his field and it shows through his course. He has videos prepared before classes and uses his class time to engage students on zoom. There is a lot of information but this professor leaves you with all the tools necesary to pass. Recommend to all.
Professor Romero shares his passion for Microbiology in such an impactful manner. He has surely inspired me on my path to becoming a PA.
Prof Romero handled online learning better than any professor I've had. He uses a combo of lectures, small group discussions, and whole group sharing to cover material. Content is difficult, but he works hard to help you understand it. Tests are tricky, you need to be able to apply concepts. Not just multiple choice. Responds quickly to emails.
Prof. Romero is an excellent professor who shows his care for his students and respect for his role through his dedicated and meticulous lectures, as well as his patience with any and all questions. You will do well if you study the material, participate in class, and contribute fairly to group work and projects. I wish I could have him again!
Professor Romero is absolutely amazing. His lecture was interesting, he was always present, and encouraged us to participate. He is also very understanding and is accessible outside of class. I really appreciated the experience I had in his Micro class. Please do not change, Professor! I highly recommend him to anyone taking Micro.
Professor Romero is great! He really cares about his students and wants you to succeed. No question is a silly question and he takes the time to explain anything and everything. He doesn't give out easy grades, but if you do the work and pay attention, you'll do great in his class. Highly recommend!
Romero is a true gem at BMCC, by far the best professor I have taken. With everything being online due to the pandemic, he definitely does not make you feel like youre missing out on an education. His class is very well organized, fair exams and you can tell he loves what he does and his energy reflects onto his students. A 10/10 he is wonderful!:)
Professor Romero is absolutely AMAZING. Although the course was online, I think I've never learned so much from a course. He is really passionate about his job and he has an incredible way of passing on his knowledge. He has the art of making concepts that seem complicated so easy to understand. I am delighted to have chosen his course.
Professor Romero is great at breaking this very tough subject down in a way that his students can understand. Please understand that this class is going to be difficult if you don't watch or attend lectures. You can't fake your way through this class, but you will leave understanding everything you need to.
With only 350 characters to write about Prof. Romero, thats hard to do. Ill say this he is very welcoming, very dedicated, and passionate about teaching his students all that he knows. He is great at explaining tough material in a simple way. There is a lot of material, you just have to study plain and simple. It really was a pleasure having him.
Prof. Romero is the best microbiology professor at BMCC. He is inspirational and helped motivate me to pursue microbiology as a career. Labs are fun, homework is easy, you are graded on participation so make sure to engage in the lectures (which is no problem as they are entertaining, but challenging material at times). You will enjoy this class!!
I can not believe how much I learned in this class. He will unintentionally make you fall in love with MICRO. He is very passionate about his job. Responds to emails super fast, grades tests and homework very fast, and the way he teaches is AMAZING! You must study and go to class if you want to learn. I know I will be a great nurse because of him!
This Prof is amazing! He is clear in everything and went through all the necessary info you will need for his exams and questions in class. If you prefer the textbook, go ahead, but its alot of info! Too much for a summer session. His videos are the best way to go! Summarizes everything and even gives you 'emphasis' on what may be on the exams!
Awesome teacher, definitely cares about his students. He has amazing labs very clear and understanding. He does put up explanatory power points to help you understand your textbook readings . His whole course was very detailed, so taking notes is a must ! It's impossible to fail his class. I would take his class again and highly recommend it.
Professor Fernandez Romero is an amazing professor. He is very clear from day one about what to expect from the class and what he expects his students to do. He is always available to answer questions. Expect to work hard for the class though, there is a lot of material, however, professor Romero will make it easy to understand. Good Luck!
One of the worst Professors ever taken at BMCC. This is coming from an A student that is very studious. Does not know how to teach.Has a very thick accent. Expects too much from his students. This is an INTRODUCTORY Microbiology class, not a graduate-level course. Exams are way too hard. Brags about his doctorate and career. AVOID!!
Professor Romero is honestly one of the best professors I have ever had. He is such a caring person who loves seeing his students succeed and will go above and beyond to ensure you understand the lectures. I would DEFINITELY recommend his class. He gives plenty of extra credit to boost your grade and is always available for office hours.
I enjoyed Professor Romero's class. The engaging lectures, lab classes, and interactive discussions made learning enjoyable and enhanced my understanding of difficult subjects. Professor Romero's exams were fair, thought-provoking, and focused on comprehension rather than memorization. He is an inspiring professor. I highly recommend his class.
Professor Romero is very passionate and welcoming. His lectures are always engaging and thought-provoking. Exams were fair and focuses more on comprehension rather than memorization. Truly one of the best professors I have had
Incredible Professor, I wish all were like him. Very fair exams that come directly from the lectures: the students who studied all got 95-100. His expectations of his students correspond to how much he cares about teaching and the subject of microbiology. If you want an easy A, pick a different prof. If you want to learn, he is one of the best.
Just want to start out with Professor Romero is amazing at what he does. His passion and dedication is beyond words! Prof. Romero puts a lot of thoughts into how he presents the material. He will offer extra office hours, comes early, and stays after class when students needs help. He responses very quickly. One of the best professor I ever have !!
This is one of the absolute best courses I have taken so far. Prof Romero is demanding but with reason , the subject requires attention and effort but every ounce of work you'll put in will be rewarded! I highly recommend to take microbiology with prof Romero, he is a dedicated professor that loves what he does !
Professor Romero is a great professor. He makes the lectures engaging and interesting which really allows you to learn the material. The tests were not "easy" but definitely fair, he only tests on what he teaches. He is very accessible outside of class to answer the questions and always willing to help students. I really enjoyed his class.
Having Professor Romero for Microbiology was life changing! His dedication to his students and subject is apparent in everything he does. Lectures and labs are very organized and set up to support learning and success. Micro is challenging, but his approach and care make it doable. He's always available to everyone after class and via email.
I would definably take professor Romero again if I would have to take another BIO class. take him you would not regret it. His lectures are very clear as well as his labs. also he will make sure you understand the material, it doesn't matter how many time you ask question he will make sure to explain everything until you understand it.
please choose this professor!!!! I want to say he is literally the best professor in my college! you won't regret it if you take his microbiology class. he is very caring and always gives u very good feedback. His teaching is very clear and explains everything you want to know. please trust me! he is a really really good professor!
Prof Romero is a exceptionally passionate teacher and person. If you take his class you will have an excellent grasp of the subject. He never makes you feel stupid, and always makes time for questions. His class materials are detailed and organized on blackboard. He makes you want to do your best. He is the kind of teacher you remember for life.
I had to take the time to talk about this professor. BMCC does not deserve him; he is the best professor a student could ask for. He is caring, understanding, and knowledgeable. He responds quickly with emails and his test are fair and aligns with his lecture. His lectures are clear and engaging and he makes you understand this difficult subject.
such an amazing prof, and patient like he can top me frrrrrr
Tests are about 7 CH each, but the material is digestible thanks to PowerPoints. NO test grades dropped. Only extra credit=bonus test questions. Go to class, participate and take good notes. Connect required, txtbk not. Promptly replies to emails. He genuinely cares about his students; it shows in his eyes and actions. Beautiful man inside and out.
He is the best professor a student could wish for, yet BMCC does not deserve him. He is wise, perceptive, and compassionate. He emails back promptly, and his tests are fair and consistent with what he covered in class. His interesting and lucid lessons help you grasp this challenging material.
I wrote a review bf but somehow it was not here. guessing it was too long. I only have good things to say about Prof. Romero. He is the best science professor i have ever had. caring, knowledgeable, and respected. He is clear about grade, lectures, exams. Study hard and you will get the grade that you want. wish he teaches all of my science classes
I took profesor romero over the summer and wow he was such a good , caring professor. You can clearly see that he loves his job , he himself has said many times how he feels like he was born to do this. Each exam was 7 chapters. Mostly multiple choice and some short answer. His exams was based of lectures and study topics he put.The best professor!
Outstanding professor. Informative and inspiring. We are very lucky to have him at BMCC.
Super organized w/ grades. Given everything needed to get an A, just depends on you! Watch lectures videos before lecture and use actual lecture to review concepts! Absolutely love this man, takes time to learn the name of each student and very approachable. The tests match the topics on the review sheet given, so many resources to excel, TAKE HIM!
Prof. Romero is by far the best teacher I've had! Took his micro class in an accelerated pace over the summer and he made the classes so entertaining. I learned more in his class than I did in my entire last semester because he makes it super interesting and shows how what we are leaning plays into our everyday lives. You must study hard for exams
Professor Romero made microbiology fascinating and inspiring with his enthusiasm and clear explanations. His ability to connect complex concepts to real-world applications and hands-on labs sparked a genuine interest in the subject. The learning experience was truly engaging. Highly recommended!
Professor Romero is an amazing teacher - engaging lectures, fair tests, and always available to help. I aced this class with the help of Unstuck AI's study tools alongside the textbook.
took twice the 1st time entirely my fault cause I took 18 credits & took on other interest. Watch the videos and pay close attention to lectures. His class is not easy but you will remember whatever he teaches for a life time. He really is a God send. Connect home work Exam multiple choice & short ans no labeling, like 40 questions
Students are expected to watch YouTube videos of his lecture that he will post on brights pace. 1- you will be provided the topics that will be discussed in the class. 2- you can miss total of 2 classes 3- he will post test review sheet on brightspace. 4- home work - top hat / connect make sure to submit before due date. Easy A- if you focus!
He's an incredible Professor, his lectures are very engaging, and he clearly cares about his students. There is a lot of material, especially if you are taking it over the summer, but if you put time and effort into the class you'll do well. Just make sure you review the recorded youtube videos before coming to class. Best Professor I've had!
Professor Romero was by far the best professor i've ever taken classes with. He made lecture and lab very interesting and fun to learn.
He is the best professor in Bmcc, he clearly want you to learn and pass this class , he give clear instructions and he make the lecture and lab so much more interesting and fun. You
He is by far the best professor in this college, he is telling you what to do on the first day of class to pass his class , so follow whatever he says and study , you will do just fine. His lectures and lab is interesting and fun, he clearly very passionate about his career and the work. Just take him , you won't regret.
Prof. Romero is THE BEST professor I have ever had. Microbiology is a heavy work load but made so interesting by him! He is very clear and sets you up to succeed. He works very hard to keep everything organized and encourages lots of questions. I wish I could have him for every class. Other profs come to watch him lecture to improve their own.
I took his summer class. I wanted an A so I studied 2 hours day before class and on weekends. But he's a great professor and I learned a lot. I wish I could take him again. I highly recommend him. I will say his lectures are recorded beforehand and in class you review concepts. So you have to learn the material before class in some ways
I've taken this class for the summer, and I highly recommend taking his course. He has his own video lectures, which were easy to comprehend. TopHat was what we used to submit our results from labs, you can also read up on the procedures as well to study for the lab quizzes.
Professor Romero is a prime example of how I wish all professors are- truly enthusiastic about the course curriculum. This class is a LOT of work but it is relevant. He will make you love Microbiology. View your lectures before class, stay on top of your assignments and you'll be golden. He is a GEM. PLEASE take him if you actually want to learn!
This class is a lot, but if you put in the time, you should be able to get a good grade. The material is challenging but well-organized, and expectations are clear. He's intelligent, motivated, responsive, and friendly, and genuinely wants students to understand the content rather than just memorize it. Highly recommend.
