Professor Bodenweiser is so nice, and very helpful. When you first get in her class chose your table wisely. I was in her class and two out of four of her test was group test.Thank god my group was smart.Dont sit by friends or people who dont know whatthey are doing. About 80% of your grade comes from your group(test &labs)

There is a method to her madness. You may be like wtf?! in the beginning, but she will review with you before each and every exam. There are a few lab quizzes, a lab practical as a lab final, 3 lecture exams and a final - plus a group project. She is funny and nice - and yes, all over the place. But she will prep you for your exam. Take notes!

She's super funny however because of this she gets side tracked and forgets what she's saying so be sure to listen the first time. She is all over the place good luck taking notes. On her reviews she will go over everything she didn't teach which is a lot. Know how to spell because she doesn't write names of stuff during her reviews. Good luck

This lady is amazing! if you're going to be in her class go in with an open mind and just go with the flow; she will make sure that you are prepared for exams and wants you to do good above all! Doesn't make the class harder than it has to be and is so attentive and sweet!

I had a lot of anxiety going into this class and it progressively lessened as the course went on. I HIGHLY recommend taking this class in the summer, because she grades so easily. All quizzes/tests online except for lecture and lab finals- take notes on the reviews-and youre set. You get extra credit on the final if you bring in pet food.

I loved Judy, she is probably one of my favorite professors so far. You will either laugh or be awkward because she's kind of eccentric. She made class interesting and wants you to pass! Make sure you put forth an effort in lab and she'll love you. There's a group project in lab, but it's really simple and fun. go to reviews and you will be fine!

Everyone has it down! She doesnt make it harder than it needs to be, dont panic if you feel like she isnt teaching (review days are the only important days for notes) and show up because she takes that into account in both lab and class. Oh, and RECORD for her final review! It helped me pass wih flying colors. Youll do great dont panic either!

Best micro teacher at SCF but that isn't saying much. She's a smart lady, but she singles out students in a negative way and also is very unorganized. You'll get a good grade if you do the work though. Attendance somewhat mandatory for lab and not mandatory for lecture.

Miss Bodenweiser gave some of the best lectures that I have ever attended. She kept me interested and yearning for more. She has good insight into the history of microbiology. During labs it is best to show up early to review. The steps are well written out, just listen carefully to them. I recommend making your own quizlets for studying.

Ms. Bodenweiser is an amazing teacher. She makes sure her students understand the material and goes beyond to help them understand on their level. She encourages her students to do their best. She is by far the best teacher I have ever had. She genuinely cares about all her students and the knowledge she teaches them. Thank you for a great semester

She cares more about you learning and retaining the information than your actual grade. She always does quiz and exam reviews. She is empathetic and understanding. Her lectures are a whirlwind and slightly disorganized but the time passes quickly and you'll definitely laugh. Her labs are fun and instructional.

She is hilarious, kind, and caring. She is also a bit disorganized and scatterbrained. You will feel lost in the beginning, but she doesn't make it harder than it has to be. Everything you need for this course is on canvas modules. Don't bother taking notes (kind of impossible - squirrel!) or buying the book. Pay attention to exam reviews!

Shes funny, caring and an easy grader. She doesn't complicate things and goes with the flow. The book was not needed as everything is on canvas, what is needed is a lab-coat. There is only about 1 project and a standard amount of tests and quizzes. I would take her again 100x over

This woman is THEATRICAL. If occasional crude/bluntness makes you uncomfortable then take another Professor. Shes extremely scatterbrained like you have no idea whats going on for 4 months but just follow along and youll be fine. She does give you the information you need... eventually. I would take her again because she makes it fun.

I took Microbiology with her online due to COVID. I can't begin to describe just how accommodating she was with everything going on. Very understanding and quick to answer emails & very willing to help. The lectures were long but she's very funny so it wasn't too boring. As long as you do your work she won't bother you about online attendance.

Simply Horrible, Judy doesn't know how to operator a computer. The class was so post to be live be we didn't always have class. Sometimes she would just put slides up and did not run class that day. Sounds great, but it is not. I am trying to become a nurse and had to teach myself everything. I do not recommend her

Judy has very limited technology skills and doesn't know how to operate Teams or a computer. Most of the time the entire class is confused if we are having class that day or not. I registered for a live class but we didn't always have class in a live format. Get ready to be lost

She is so sweet and truly cares for her students. The assignments are what is expected from a microbiology class. She is probably one of the only preofessors that gives exam reviews even though most of the time it wasnt as usefull. If you pay attention in lecture and put in work you are sure to pass. Highly reccomdend.

She is the most understanding and accomodating teacher I've ever had. The class & lab were online. Everything needed for success was provided. She has a passion for MCB and it shows through her teaching. She wants her students to learn AND succeed. Put in the work and you will receive an A. I was on the fence about taking her and I'm so glad I did!

She is not really straight forward but other than that she is a good professor, really understanding and allows for several attempts in most of her assignments. As long as you watch the video reviews before exams and study the highlighted material you should pass the class.
