Prof. Guerrero is a great teacher. You will learn a lot, & its an interesting class. However, she does give weekly quizzes and her exams are difficult. Plus there are tons of assignments which can be overbearing. If you have the time you can get an A (the final is easy) but you will have to study a lot.

She is a great professor, I love her lecture, and she is very knowledgeable. I can tell you the tests are kind of hard, but she gives 10 points extra credit if you do an extra homework. You got to be on top on the material all the time, but at the same time you learn a lot about microbes and for a medical career this is very important.

She is a really good professor. To be honest I was kind of scared to take the class with her but I don't regret it. I would take more classes with her if it was possible. Do your homework and read chapters. This class will be a piece of cake if you love microbiology. Good LUCK! Try to get As in the first 3 tests and you won't need to do the final

This is my second time taking this class and I wish I could've taken professor Guerrero the first time. She is organized, knows the subject very well, and she's very nice. This class itself is not easy but if you do all assignments, homeworks, write notes in class, review the powerpoints you'll do great in her class.

This professor is one of the best professors u have taken so far, she explains everything so well and in a way that makes you want to learn more. Every question you have she will give you an answer. If you need to see her outside class she will be available. Her homeworks are not too long. Study reviews that will be good for test. Take her!

Good professor, explains well and knows the subject however she thinks this class is the only thing you have to do. I'm taking the blended class & pretty much we have to teach ourselves before the class. Way too much homework and very short deadlines.

She is very detailed and lets you know what her expectations are from the first day of class. Microbiology is not an easy class. However, if you read the chapters, take lots of notes, and do the homework, you will make it in her class. This is no easy A but it is an achievable A. I got an A and you can get one too. I recommend her you will learn!
