Her quizzes are online, but I suggest studying for it instead of cheating because it will definitely help you with the finals. Play Microslayers and the Crossword puzzles, that will definitely help you out in the course. She's funny, great instructor, with gory pictures to share!

I absolutly loved her. Most of the midterm questions were in the games she posts. Her class is very interesting with awesome pictures and stories. Excellent teacher!

Excellent professor, definately one of the elite at UofA. If I could, I would take it again. Don't kid yourself though the material is tough and there is a lot of it - but she makes it fun and salient.

Excellent, teaching efficiently and clearly. Grades difficult but this course is so important she needs to. Very personable and really loves her work

Excellent prof! This course contains alot of information so requires alot of studying. Very helpful lectures and she makes the class fun and intersting. She provides online games which are a very helpful study guide and she will use some of the questions on her exams. Quizzes and assignment and an easy way to boost up your mark, Great class!

Best prof I've ever had! Clear, consise... and incredibly helpful.

One of the best professors you'll meet anywhere. Her notes are fantastic and she and her TA's are very easy to contact for help. She has a great sense of humor and is always looking for ways to help her students but studying is NOT optional, its a hard course. The quizzes and assignments are great ways to boost your mark.

AMAZING TEACHER! I would take a class just to have her teach me. She is clear, has a great sense of humor is nice. An all around great person and prof. Hard course but she makes it really fun. Should be teaching other professors how to teach!

gnarpe rocks!! she really knows her stuff, is great at explaining it, marks and provides feedback really quickly and productively, provides tons of study tools like games, quizzes & online stuff, and is by far the most organized and on the ball prof i've had at the u of a. awesome!

Amazing teacher, she's passionate about what she does and provides tonnes of resources for students. Play the game, do the crosswords and prepare for quizzes. Final was pretty detailed but you'll be fine if you kept up throughout the course. Her classes are interesting and useful. Her TA, Lisa, was awesome too!

AMAZING PROF!! one of a kind - too bad they all weren't like her. Super good notes, super interesting class, awesome games and stuff to help you study...quizzes totally boost your mark. Defintely the best prof ive had!

She is one of the clearest, most fair professors I have ever had. If you keep up with the studying and assignments, you will do well. However, prepare to study harder than ever for her final, it is more detailed and intense than anything else in the class. Get ready to work hard but enjoy it.

I look forward to her classes, its a hard course but she makes it fun, i could take this class over and over, she should be training other professors, she knows her stuff and if confident... nifty sense of humour. If you have to take this class take it with her. And play the online crossword games they help

If it wasnt for Judy's MMI class I think I would have thrown in the towel in my nursing program by now! She is the only one in the after degree program who actually helps her students! She is a great prof, and I have truly enjoyed MMI because of her! If you get the chance to have her as a prof, take it!

SHE WAS GREAT!! she new her stuff and she was a great help when you talked to her. she always has games online and chat rooms for you to ask questiond and study from!! it was a great course and you learn a lot!!

This is my second degree & I found Judy to be one of the most motivating, respectful and clear profs. She made complicated material clear & easy to understand. She cared & in a class of 300 she created a sense of community. Balanced assignments, fair quizzes, well laid out clear presentations. She is one of the best, enjoy every minute of her class

Definitely one of the best profs I've ever had. She is organized and very easy to understand. It is a difficult course, but she makes it really interesting since it's an area that she is passionate about.

Great prof! She makes the class interesting and is fair. Her explainations were clear and reflected exam material.

She is an AWESOME prof. she gives great lectures, and she provides tons and tons of pictures for the slides. She is really straight forward, the quizzes and assignments are easy, exams are decent. Really into MMI so she rubs off on everyone. I really enjoyed having her as a prof.

Absolutely great Prof! Truely cares about her students, keeps lectures interesting with photos and teaches only relevant information to your degree! If you have a chance TAKE HER CLASS!!!

She is a wonderful lady! She takes an honest interest in her students and gives you every opportunity to learn in her classes. There is lots of opportunity to build on your marks as you go through the course. She makes her classes interesting. She's great!

AMAZING prof! Her quizzes and exams are based on her notes. You just need to memorize her notes and you will be fine for the course.

Great professor. I just wish i could remember everything she taught us!

GREAT PROF !! The class is very interesting on its own and she is very enthusiastic about it. She loves showing graphic pictures of diseases which actually come in handy on exams to help you remember them. Her quizzes are fair and directly from the notes and the final was quite easy. She's a great professor, you'll love her !

LOVE HER! Always available even outside office hours. And her online chats were very helpful. Lots of work, but she makes it interesting to learn. One of the best profs I've ever had.

I have taken approximately 60 university classes and Dr. Gnarpe is the best professor I have ever had. She is brilliant, witty and teaches like a dream. Take a class with her if you have a chance. Exams are directly from her lectures. She should contract herself out to the faculty of Nursing at the U of A to show them how it is done.

She's Absolutely Brilliant! nothing else you could really say.

Best prof I've had in four years of university. She must put a ton of effort into teaching the course, and it shows! Very helpful outside of the classroom, and the quizzes/tests were very fair.

AMAZING prof! probably the best professor i've had at the u of a. she's so nice, and very helpful, and her quizzes and assignments are straight forward if you study for them. i wish she taught more of my classes!

Judy is awesome. Really awesome. I took this class as an option but I really got a lot out of it and she was the big reason. She is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I really wish she taught all of my classes because she is just that good.

SHE IS SOOOO AMAZING! I love attending her class because she is so knowlegable and always has great examples that keep you wanting more! Her exams not easy but there straight from the lecture notes but there is alot of stuff to remember but if you study hard you will do great! :)

An excellent teacher! Incredibly helpful, approachable and fair. Content isn't easy, but she makes it so interesting! All I want to study for is MMI! She is a very fair marker. I REALLY wish that she could replace some of the Faculty of Nursing professors. Thanks, Judy!

class time was used efficiently and the content was interesting! i took this class as an option and also a prereq and it completely blew my mind. I've never found a class that i've never skipped and would die to go for more! thanks judy!

Great prof! Medical Microbiology is nowhere near easy, but the way she delivers it, and gives SO MANY resources on her eClass site is fantastic. I have never wanted to skip a class, because I wanted to learn more! The assignments and iclicker boost your mark, also having the midterm broken up is GENIUS. Excellent teacher!!

LOVE this woman. Excellent prof!

She is an excellent professor that i ever met in my life. She has excellent knowledge on Medical Microbiology. She has amazing teaching capacity.

She is honestly the best teacher i have had so far ! She made the material which isn't too easy seem like we can all learn it. And all the extra material up on moodle is soooo helpful . She's AMAZING. TAKE HER CLASS !

She is definitely the best professor that I have ever had. She is so willing to help and will answer and clarify every question that you have no matter what. She tries her best to make all the subjects interesting and she also makes learning MMI fun. Love her!!!!

What can I say about Judy and this course? Wow. She puts in a lot of effort into this course, and it shows. Non-cumulative quizzes are an awesome idea. Assignments are mark boosters, and this class isn't curved! The final, written today, was soooo easy. It was essentially 90% the sample final. Amazing prof, amazing course... TAKE IT!!!!

I love Judy! I took this course as a first year as an option it was BY FAR my favourite class., although a bit heavy. She has 5 quizzes instead of a midterm, which really helps with retaining the information. Assignments and iClicker are definite grade boosters. Final was almost identical to the practice one. Tons of eclass resources. RECOMMENDED!

Great Prof! Fair grading! Do the sample final, guaranteed most of the questions and case studies will appear on your FINAL! Quite a lot of material to remember but she makes it easy with interactive games! Highly recommended!

Judy is probably the most helpful prof at U of A. Holds chat sessions and replies back very soon. She marks all the quizzes within 24 hours. Wow. A LOT of memorization, but the grading system makes it easy to get high marks. Final was mostly the sample final (lol) and got a 100% on it...Take this course! Relevant, practical and mostly fun!

WOW! Amazing prof. Most devoted prof I've ever had, really cares about her students and helping them do well. So helpful with chats+eclass site. This course requires some time input/lots of memorization but is extremely interesting (I am in Kinesiology and found it still relevant and most of all interesting). She really goes above and beyond!

TAs start delivering lectures instead of Prof herself, which could be dry since TA just read off the slides. Thankfully, iClicker is utilized quite a lot. Still a wonderful class for those who likes to learn st. Practical. Study the slides, try hard on the quizzes and final will be a breeze.

love her!!!!

Absolutely loved her. She is clearly so knowledgeable about everything she is teaching and I learned so much from her! She's so funny, a great lecturer, and really kept me interested in every class. Quizzes instead of a midterm, as long as you study they'll be a breeze. Only problem is when she lets the TA teach instead, but overall.. LOVE HER

Very good prof! She is extremely helpful and just all around awesome! Final was fair if you studied! Also make sure you do the practice exam.....:) overall, great class!!!!

Judy is such an amazing woman! She cares so much about her student and she makes a hard course as easy and enjoyable as possible!!! Recommend taking this course with her!!

Great prof. Very clear, notes are well organized and makes lectures fun. You'll need to study quite a bit for the quizzes and final, but they are fair and she posts lots of practice questions. She made lectures interesting and I enjoyed the use of iClickers.

Absolutely LOVE her. My favorite prof at UofA so far. She makes the heavy material very enjoyable to sit through a 3 hour lexture and assessment is fair. Plus you don't need the textbook. Definitely recommend taking this class!

Judy is awesome. Her classes are interesting, and she's extremely friendly and respectful towards her students. The class itself is a good deal of work, but not bad for a 400 level.

Judy is an awesome person and professor. The course material is heavy but interesting and she teaches it well. You need to study but her exams are fair and straight forward. You don't necessarily need the textbook but it is helpful to have. I LOVED this class!

It was a pleasure to be in Judy's class. She did a great job of integrating personal experience into the content, which actually helped me remember what she was teaching that day. The review activities that she posted on eClass were fantastic. She pulled a lot of questions on the final from there.

At the beginning of the semester, I was not a fan of Judy. The quizzes she gives are very challenging and she expects a lot from her students. However, by the end of the semester, it became clear that Judy is an incredible instructor. The assignments she gives you are grade boosters and she is very willing to provide you with additional help.

I've had Dr. G a lot over the years and she's great in every course she lectures in. Great slides, a little bit of humor, and lots of good stories. Her cartoons are also really cute!

Outstanding Professor!! Very engaging and so knowledgeable. Hands down one of the best professors I have ever had!

Judy is amazing, such a lovely woman. Never a boring lecture, she is very entertaining. She always replied to my emails and was willing to review with me before a test. The test are hard! Class participation, and the two assignments she has really helps your grade (they are really easy assignments, so make sure you put effort into them for 100%!)

Hard but a good teacher you will learn a lot.

Amazing teacher, if you put in the average work you will do very well. I was aceing the course until the final exam, but that may have been because I got cocky.

I took this class in my 5th year, and because of that it was the easiest class I have ever taken. Skimmed through the class notes before the exam, never touched the textbook and did well. The papersassignments are as hard as you make them, just choose a goodeasy topic. Judy is a really good lecturer, so the classes are relatively interesting.

Judy is amazing! She is so passionate about what she teaches, which makes it so much easier to listen in lectures and learn! She is so helpful in preparing for exams as well! Absolutely loved her, definitely take her class!

She is honestly the best professor ever - her expectations are very clear, and the class is super easy to do well in as long as you put in the effort. She is also very helpful. I wish I could take more classes with her. She also wrote the textbook and it's amazingly simple and helpful.

Judy Gnarpe has been hands down one of the best profs I've had in my three years at the U of A. She explains everything so clearly - her PowerPoints are awesome - as long as you go to lectures and add in the few extra details, you can do well in this class. Lots of material that could be boring, but she makes it interesting. Recommend her 100%.

Dr. Gnarpe doesn't let down if you've read the positive comments. She is as amazing as everyone says. She is always there to help, and for the most part it's clear what is going to be on the exam. While it isn't an easy A because of how much material there is, if you put in the time to learn it, you'll definitely do well.

LOTS OF CONTENT VERY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ON TEST

Her class was literally the only thing that I look forward to. Loved every single bit of it and she also gives you assignments (we only had 2) that could help bump up or maintain your mark. I have to admit that her quizzes can be tough sometimes and nerve wracking (especially when she starts that 25 minute timer)

Dr. Gnarpe is by far the best professor/teacher I have ever had (I haven't had many but still). As a first year nursing student, I was overwhelmed already and MMI 133 on top was a nightmare, but Judy made it so you could succeed. Judy was very clear, empathetic, and passionate, and the assignments brought my mark up a ton. AMAZING prof.

Judy is an amazing prof! She is incredibly knowledgeable and it is very clear what you will need to know for quizzes and the final. The best part of this class is that Judy gives opportunities such as 2 paper assignments and Iclicker participation marks to help boost your average! Studying is a must, but you will learn a ton of interesting info!

LOVED HER! Her classes were very interesting and her exams are ok as long as you study really hard for them. There is so much memorizing though so be prepared but Dr. Gnarpe is always there to help. The assignment are heaven, they boost up your average so much so work hard on them! Do the practice final exam she gives, some question appear on final

Super interesting course-- and Dr. Gnarpe makes it even more fun. Spent more time on this class than my 300 level chem classes but it was so informational. If you want to do well on the exams, play Brainspan like it's your life.

Dr. Gnarpe is honestly such an amazing professor. She transformed a class that could be devastatingly boring (lots of stuff to remember) into a class I actually look forward to. Super helpful and clear with what you are to remember, overall I loved this class.

I found the content of this course incredibly interesting and very real-world applicable. The tests could be a little tricky but the papers are easy and Judy provides feedback with the opportunity to make corrections. Her background and stories were a great asset. She is truly a lovely person if you approach her with questions.

Dr. Gnarpe is an inspirational lecturer, but this class was absolute hell. The topics were interesting in some extent, but overall most were quite dull. Half the class was based on presentations which was filled with students poorly grading other students to help themselves, and 100% written tests with only 1 way of seeing a right answer. Avoid.

Dr. Gnarpe is the best professor I have ever had. Her lectures are interesting and her powerpoint notes were great. She is very clear in letting you know what to expect on exams and she has tons of resources on eclass to practice for the exams. Exams were fair, lots of memorization so if you put the time in you will do well. Highly recommend!

She was an amazing prof/person. I really enjoyed her lectures, and I found her class very, very interesting. I was getting an A in the class, but the final was very hard (I had a limited time to study), but you will do well if you put in the effort for her class. Readings aren't necessary.

Great prof! Loves her job, as long as you read the powerpoint slides you're good. Easy marker, just have to follow guidelines for your assignments and you'll get an A. You do have to know your stuff for quizzes though as she tests on the details. Overall she's amazing, would take this class again in a heartbeat!

Goes out of her way to give those willing to participate extra chances to earn marks, which is much appreciated! As someone who may not have the best memory but is always willing to try as hard as I need to, the marks I've earned through sheer time commitment are so incredibly helpful. Judy keeps her lectures interesting and to-the-point.

This was the best class I have taken in many years of university. Judy makes the material so interesting and you really want to learn it and do well. She's organized and cares about students. For those of you in the Nursing program, this is the best it's gonna be - all downhill from here. Nursing profs really need to be more like Judy!

One of the best professor's i have had. Skipping class is not an option, but her lectures are also interesting so you won't want to skip anyway.

Judy was by far my favourite first-year prof. She explained everything clearly, her powerpoints gave tons of detail, and she was really good at answering questions. She also gives feedback on major assignments before the due date, and gives you a heads up on what you need to know for the final.

In my opinion the material is quite heavy- you either know it or you don't. But although some of the questions on the quizzes were tricky, the class was very interesting. Judy is a very good prof and would recommend her.

Dr. Gnarpe is an amazing prof who cares about her students doing well. She gives iClicker marks, provides bonus questions on the final, uses our best 3 quiz marks (out of 4 quizzes), hosts chat rooms before tests, and much more. The content is a lot of memorization, but it's interesting and her lectures are enjoyable. One of my favourite classes!

Good lectures, all powerpoint are posted online day one so if you miss a class not worries. She gives great feedback on the project and responds usually within 20 minutes of you e-mailing her.

Judy is a great professor. The class is entirely memorization and the final was quite a bit harder than the midterm. However, Judy provides a ton of course material to help with studying and memorization. This course is extremely useful not only in the health field, but in everyday experience as well.

the best prof so caring and so knowledgeable

Everything is in the textbook, but she does count participation marks. Cumulative final is memorization heavy. Her humor makes the lectures enjoyable.

I absolutely loved Judy. Although the course was lecture heavy and difficult at some times, she made the lectures interesting which helped to gain a better understanding of the material. The course does have participation marks but they become very helpful in the end for boosting my mark! Textbook was also useful for better understanding.

Judy was amazing. Her tests were fair and her final was beyond fair. There was no curveballs, she was straight to the point and tested on the most important material. She truly does care about her students and to be quite honest is just the cutest and nicest lady to ever walk the earth. 11 out of 10, amazing prof & amazing course <3

Amazing prof! Course is content heavy but you can survive. To be honest, I didn't really study for the final but still did well so no worries. Just show up to class and listen, the content is interesting and Dr. Gnarpe makes it even better! Tests are fair enough and her assignments aren't hard to do well on. She has extra resources for studying too

Judy is excellent, I would highly recommend. At the start of the course I was a bit confused, but she reached out to me, because she thought I could use a hand and I figured out how to study and it became my favourite course. The classes are interesting, she is very enthusiastic and she has plenty of resources for studying.

Judy is the best prof Ive ever had. Her lectures were always interesting, and she great with answering questions both in class and over email. Her exams are tough, you need to know everything, but theyre out of a lot and have bonus questions. She provides amazing study materials, and you can get easy marks with the assignments and epoll. Awesome!

Judy is an amazing professor with the biggest heart. She wants you to succeed and she does anything she can to help you. She provides many resources to do well in her class. The class itself requires a lot effort as it is mostly memorizing. My advice is to study after every class because there is a lot to remember by the time of the midterm.

Judy is amazing! Very memorization heavy course, but she makes the information interesting and she genuinely cares about having her students succeed. With the proper amount of studying and time dedicated to the course you can do very well.

She is clear and concise. Quizzes are fair if you have studied (lol yikes) and assignments aren't too bad. The course isn't super work heavy but you are expected to know your stuff and know it well for the final. Judy is very knowledgable and seems to genuinely care about the success of her students.

Judy was an amazing professor. She responded to emails very quickly, was accessible outside of class and was as transparent as she could be when it came to what would be on quizzes. The material is not very hard but the course is very memorization heavy. Quizzes were fair but often tested specific details which Judy highlights in class.

Class was great! A lot of the information from the powerpoints was straight out of the textbook and then Judy would expand on it. Not a difficult class if you pay attention and study for tests. Got marks for doing little questions throughout each class but didnt matter if you got it right or wrong. One of my fav classes.

Despite the gruesome nature of MMI, Judy's great sense of humor really makes the lectures enjoyable (which is more evident at the end of the course). The textbook is available if you need further clarification from the lectures, but only a small portion is tested. Attendance (ePolls) will contribute to grades. Also, SUPER heavy on memorization.

Judy was quite a good prof. She was very knowledgable, portrayed concepts well, and marked efficiently and fairly. The only thing for me was that sometimes when I would email her she would respond sassily and come off as quite rude. Other than this she was a good prof and I would recommend her.

So funny, so nice, fairly easy.

She is fantastic. She is easy to understand and she really knows her stuff. She will help you to answer any questions. Go to class it will make a difference in your grade and the way she does her lectures it helps you remember the info for later. I wish she taught all my classes.

Judy is one of the best profs I've had. Her lectures are interesting and it's important to pay attention because she mentions small details that can be tested. She has a good sense of humour and genuinely cares for her students. Textbook was used for readings on topics not taught in class.

This is a gem of a 400 level class. No presentation. 1 easy assignment worth 10% and 3 exams worth 30%. Judy only lectured 3 times and the rest were guest lectures but they were very interesting and given by people currently working in the provincial lab. If you still need a 400 bio I highly recommend this one. Lots of info to know but it's doable!

Highly recommend this professor. Though you will have to be on top of your material constantly, Professory Gnarpe does a wonderful job of helping you and explaining the content.

Judy is the best prof I have ever had. Her class made me change my career path to microbiology THATS how good she is. Her lectures are awesome she makes pathogens so much fun and her tests are VERY fair! one midterm 2 assignments and a final and her marking is very fair as well. Judy is the best, highly recommend taking her class if you can!!!

One of my favourite profs. tests and assignments were very reasonable and fair. it was the one lecture in the semester I didn't get bored and actually learned and listened in. Never thought I would like the material but now I love it because of her and going to take more. I wish I could have her for all my classes honestly.

MMI is a hard class but Judy makes it really interesting because she really knows what she's talking about. She wrote the textbook so you technically don't need to go to class but there are parts in the textbook more for interest and not tested on so if you go to class you'll have a better understanding and not worry about the extra stuff.

Judy is an AMAZING prof! She's super knowledgeable and explains the concepts very well. Her quizzes are fairly good if you study enough and the assignments are not too difficult. I honestly thought I was going to hate this class, as I've never enjoyed microbiology, but with Judy it became one of my favourite classes!

Judy Is An Icon. Its a 400 level medical micro class so it's a lot of work. She is on the students side and will do everything to help the class succeed. Very knowledgable and endearing. Notes tell you exactly what you need to know. she mentioned she is trying to get more MMI profs to add learning objectives to their notes, so lets celebrate that

Awesome professor! She is very helpful and her lectures are direct. Her quizzes are fair but this is a class that you definitely have to study hard for. Judy is one of the best professors I have ever had. I highly recommend taking her class!

The course is memorization heavy and has a lot of picky details you'll get tested on; study smart not hard. Prof is generally nice and gives good feedback on drafts 100% on the final writing assignments (which aren't that hard). Attend class as she has epolls and those are a free 5% of your grade.

This class is a roller coaster! Lectures skip around between viruses, bacteria and random diseases. Very interesting info to know but was quite stressful with the way content was organized and very memorization heavy. I recommend making a table with each bacteria, virus and parasite for the final. Judy is also sweet and caring:)

I was a little nervous coming into this class but by the first lecture that quickly disappeared. Judy is an outstanding professor. She would tell us stories to keep us engaged, did interactive Epoll questions ( easy 5% mark) and her assessments were MORE THAN fair! If you have the chance to take this course I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT

Dr. Gnarpe was genuinely one of my favourite profs I've ever had. Her lectures are incredibly interesting, and she makes a quite memorization heavy course enjoyable! She textbook is clear and to the point, and as long as you show up to class and put in the effort, you'll do just fine.

Judy is so caring and put in so much work to help us succeed. She gave helpful suggestions in class and online to help with studying. I was nervous for this class as I do not have a strong biology background but I really enjoyed it!

Judy is one of the best professors I have ever had. She is approachable and her lectures are very interesting. I recommend reading the textbook and writing lots of notes (diagrams, flashcards, tables). Beware- her final exams are quite hard.

Great professor! The best Iv ever had actually! Love her. Every class should be structured like this.

I really enjoyed Dr. Gnarpe's lectures and it is an interesting course. My only issue is that while she made the midterm and final open book because of COVID, she made them more difficult on a tight time constraint which was a struggle for me.

Judy was the best thing about Fall 2020 for me. She prerecorded all her lectures over summer and Zoom sessions were used to ask questions and do ePoll. You can tell she loves her job and made a content heavy course so much more enjoyable. Textbook not required. Tests are more than fair, study hard.

Judy was by far my favourite prof in my first semester. She was SO NICE and truly cared about her students. The course would be difficult (memorization heavy), but I had it online so she made everything open book to accommodate. She really tried to make it interesting. There was a small participation mark (attend at least 50% of classes to get 5%)

Judy was a great professor! She was so nice and you could really tell she cared about her students and wanted them to succeed. The exams were moderately difficult but not the worst. There's lots of content and lots of specific details that are important to know for this course. Easy to get full marks on assignments if you follow the rubrics.

Judy is an excellent prof. I had her for online mmi133 and she was by far my favourite professor. She is very organized and made her expectations clear. You dont really need the textbook for this class. I had it but really barely used it as her powerpoints are excellent.

Judy was my favourite prof this semester. It's clear she cares about her students and wants you to succeed. A very memorization-heavy course but with a mix of your own flashcards, her puzzles, and her practice quizzes - you will do just fine. Tests are hard but study lots and utilize your time well and you will pass with flying colours.

Judy is an amazing professor! She is so caring and respectful towards her students. This class was definitely hard and was very time-consuming. Regardless, she made the class very enjoyable despite being online. She replies quickly to email which was very useful especially learning online. Her exams were not too easy and not too difficult.

One of the best profs I had this semester. Gives you many opportunities to get extra marks, and is an overall gem. As the course was online, tests are harder as it was open book, but if you study and keep up with lectures you're set. Also for future students taking her course, show up to the lecture, helped a lot for the upcoming final.

You can tell that Dr. Gnarpe is passionate about what she teaches. I found the ePoll questions (around 10-20 per lecture) extremely helpful, some of the case studies closely emulated quiz and exam questions. Overall memorization heavy course, but if you study a bit everyday and attend ePoll sessions you will do just fine.

She was so amazing and cared about her students. If you are in nursing she is an absolute gem for your first semester courses. Graded fairly easily on the written assignments. Tests are tough as the content is very memorization heavy but closely emulated the e-poll questions. Very enjoyable class and professor.

This was my favourite class of the entire semester. Judy is an amazing teacher and very well respected by her students. She has a gift of explaining things in a way that is easy to understand which was so amazing. Her online structure was really great too.

Judy was an amazing prof for online learning. Her lectures were always very interesting and never super long. She does an excellent job of providing real life examples. If you study off of the lecture slides then you will ace the exams. She also provides lots of opportunities for feedback on written assignments.

Dr. Gnarpes lectures were a bit disorganized but shes very passionate and this course is super interesting! 3 exams, 1 easy A assignment. Tests were a bit tricky and mostly written, but also open book during COVID: I recommend focusing on large concepts for memorization and knowing where to find details in your notes. All instructors were great!

Judy is a very kind-hearted professor and you can tell she is a good person. By far my favourite professor yet. Even though the course was online her lecture videos and slides were amazing.

Judy was a truly excellent professor who wants only for her students to succeed. She is incredibly caring, humorous and engaging. While we did not use the textbook as much, it was still very helpful to have. She does a flipped classroom concept which is not for everyone but i personally loved. She is a very fair marker.

Lots of this course is being able to quickly find small details. Dont rely on your notes to get you through the open book teststhey have pretty tight time limits but are definitely fair if you studied. Wait to buy the textbook, it wasnt used a ton this semester but I found it helpful for the final. Such a fun class, I wish I could take it again!

Wonderful professor! I found the material difficult but she's very good at explaining concepts and making the information comprehensible. Responds promptly to emails and is very willing to help students with questions. Her exams were challenging but very fair if you studied hard enough. Don't go into this class thinking it will be easy - it is not!

She provides extra resources as many as she could. She wishes us to succeed and she's one of the best professors. But her exams contained so many questions compared to the time we get. The textbook was not needed because some couldn't get textbooks due to shortage(covid) but example questions in her textbook were helpful

She's a good professor and knows what she is teaching, but her tests are hard. Since they are online she'll make them harder and give you a very short time limit for the amount of questions to prevent cheating, so unless you're a god at MMI then ur gonna be running out of time on the tests.

Judy was my favourite professor.Passionate about what she taught + so knowledgeable outside of her lecture slides which helped making specific notes. Everything tested on is fair, really requires you to learn all of her material even though things are open book. I even ran into her at my place of work and she was very kind, and insightful.

Love Judy and her lectures. Actually made a very hard and specific course super entertaining and enjoyable. Her assignments were easily achievable and were always willing to help or explain things when needed.

She was a good professor and was very passionate about her lectures, however, her quizzes and exams often did not give enough time to provide a confident answer. Although they were open book, it was still difficult to navigate the information in such a short amount of time.

In spite of the tough material, her explanations are amazingly clear. She really cares about our wellbeing and will be honest with you. However, don't go into the course thinking it's easy! It requires a lot of work and the online exams are VERY time constraint, so do not be baited by the words "open book." Definitely study everything beforehand.

So long as you attend the lecture you'll do fine in the class, we did use the textbook but to a very small degree, also do all the extra practice given on the class site as some questions on the tests are just straight up copied off the practice.

Enjoyable teacher and fairly easy tests (open book) but with HIGH averages (e.g. final exam had 91% average) so the curve is somewhat high.

Took this hybrid class mostly online. Lecture recordings were clear and complete. Testable information was highlighted in red and tests are open-book. Wrote one paper for the course and was able to receive feedback. Would recommend 100%.

The professor has online recordings of the classes, so if you want to do asynchronous learning it is totally possible. If you do show up to the classes, she can have interesting stories that can break the tensions of the class. She's a great professor.

She was a really and funny good professor! The course itself isn't hard because the midterms and assignments are open book and you can use anything. She recommends doing the self-studies and they are very helpful for her assessments however they're not mandatory. There are lecture recordings that have pretty much identical content to the lectures!

Dr. Gnarpe was soo funny and a good educator! Personally, the course itself wasn't the most exciting for me, she made the concepts being taught understandable and clear. I only used the textbook to complete the assignment, her tests are about 98 % all from the lecture so just attend lectures and you will be fine! She is an icon!

Dr. Gnarpe is a caring instructor who makes this course a breeze. Lectures are all recorded beforehand, so you have the option of taking this as a hybrid or fully online course. ALL exams are online and open book, and are easy with minimal prep. Her textbook is required for the assignment, though she did mention an alternate quiz was available.

the kindest woman I've ever met. her lectures are all posted so if you miss one that's okay but you shouldn't because she teaches so well. so much extra content is posted for you to use for practice including fun puzzle games. she's the absolute best

Genuinely enjoyed this class.

Such a sweet and kind lady

Professor Judy is fantastic - her lectures are clear, and the open-book exams are a breeze with some prep. Definitely use unstuckstudy for extra practice questions to nail the assessments.

Judy was a great prof! exams are open book, non-proctored, and she grades assignments really easy. would def take again!

She has weekly office hours online which are so helpful! If you attend, she makes the effort to try to get to know you! All lectures are also prerecorded and posted which is sooo helpful!

Judy Gnarpe was a great prof! Her lectures were engaging. If you couldn't make the lecture, you have access to watching her pre-recorded lectures. The only thing that sucked was since her exams are non-proctored all the averages for her tests are SUPER high. If you want an A in this class, you basically have to get 100 on all the tests.

Dr. Gnarpe was a great prof. She had good lectures, office hours were made available for students especially around midterm and final season, and grading was clear for assignments. She clearly is passionate about her field, and as someone who was not interested in microbiology, I was engaged throughout the semester.

Taken fall 2023:All exams are open book, meaning if you make a chart with the microorganisms, you are set for all exams and the final to CTRL F. Judy is a fan-favourite; she is carelessly funny without trying and an amazing professor. Her lectures are insightful and very interesting,and her exams are more than fair highly recommend.

Judy is so lovely and her lectures are great online or in person. Attendance is not mandatory and neither is textbook. The content is super interesting as well. Thank you Judy!

Judy is amazing! she does lectures in person, but has videos posted if you don't want to attend her class. 2 midterms (25%) and final (40%) with one individual assignment. Her exams are difficult but doable as long as you go to her lectures and study a bit. It's all online and not proctored so I would say it's an easy A for most people!
