She is clear and gets to the point without pulling any punches. She makes complex concepts easy to understand.

Microbiology - EXTREMELY EASY CLASS!!! Michelle is pretty cool too.

Ms Perchez was a very good professor, she made the class easier than I thought, made the class fun

Ms. Perchez is the perfect entry-level Microbiology teacher. She gives lots of info in an easy-to-understand, concise manner and makes studying easy with comprehensive study guides for each exam. If you don't do well in this class you didn't bother to study.

Michelle is a great instructor.She is right to the point, and she gives you exactly what you need for the tests. If you don't do well in this class you probably have bad study habits?

If you have to take this class you should consider Michelle as your choice. This class was easier than I thought it would be.If you fail then you should probably consider another major.

Easiest 5 unit class ever - especially if you have any science background. If you need micro. - take Michelle. Very straight forward teaching style. Class material is interesting and relavent.

good lecture and lab teacher. intresting class

Lecture class was very easy. All tests all from lecture. Drops lower test score. Final is open book.

Michelle tells you what see wants you to study. You dont need the textbook. You buy the classnotes and fill-in the blanks during lecture. It makes it easy to follow along and stay focused. I wish all teachers had this system. She make Par. Microbio. easy to understand. I do not have her for Lab.

Michelle is very down to earth and lets you know exactly what you need to know to do well on the exams. She did not have any tricks up her sleeves, and was very knowledgeable on the subject matter. She was very patient as well, and believe me, she needed to be with some of the stupid questions that were asked!

Retarded much? The people below are dumb. Michelle makes this class so freaking easy, it is unbelievable. The labs are fun and she hand feeds you instructions AND for lecture, she hand feeds you all the answers AND THEN plays review games? The tests are easy. She's funny, but I do agree she can be snotty...and I wish she'd tell Brian to shut up

ROFL! Yes, Brian, shut up! You ask so many stupid questions and then try to answer them yourself LOL

She is a great teacher! All assignments are required alot of time and efforts, but it what BIO152 is(not her). She knows which students are put alot of effort to accomplish all assignments. So, her way to grade is very fair to all students. Also Her class is fun.

Study regularly and stay on top of your unknowns in lab and you'll be fine. I loved Michelle as a teacher and marvelled at her patience as she calmly navigated a treacherous semester beset by retarded and/or self-serving questions in lecture and clumsy students spilling their TSB in lab. Highly recommended.

Yes it's a hard class. Michele hands out a note taking manual, and an extensive study guide, know them both inside and out, do what she expects, and you will be fine. Yes she is moody, and can be snippy. but mind your own business, and keep on top of things; study study study. She is better than the other chioces for micro at Grossmont.

Everything needed to know, is basically handed to you. If you study and memorize the info you will do fine. Stay on top of the notes and the study guide/questions. For lab, be prepared to put in some extra hours on your unknowns. If your not sure about something , ask Michele. Somedays she can be moody, but dont take it to heart. Its just a class

Michelle is a good teacher she knows the material. This class is NOT EASY but you will do well if you understand the material. She gives you everthing you will need to study within the first week. But BEWARE in the definitions write them exactly how she has them she will mark points down. She does have favorites but what teacher doesn't.

very impersonal.knows her stuff. gives you study guides. everything very straight foward. spend a lot of outside-class time for bacteria unknowns.test:70 multiple choice, 15-20 definitons, 3 written questions.moody.ask and she'll tell unless its a gimme or u don't put effort into it. takes roll.

Perchez keeps it professional, but personable. Four books are listed for her class, all of which she calls "supplemental reading." (As in, she doesn't test you on any of it.) Tests are straight out of the packet you work with all semester. Lab quizes are strictly based on what you do in lab. Lecture counts for 2/3 of total grade.

Michelle is an awesome teacher. Yes her class is hard and there is a lot of work but I did it. She does not require you to buy the textbook which is good because it is like a million dollars. Study, Study, Study and ask for help when you need it and SHE WILL HELP YOU and you will do just fine.

This class is straightforward. Notes are printed out with fill in spaces for you to write in during lecture. Boring class to sit through. No textbook required. Study and you'll do fine. Good luck trying to pay attention!

Michelle is a really sweet lady. You have a study guide for lecture which is what will be on the test, if you have any questions go to her office hours and she will clarify so you can do well. For lab you have to come alot outside of class. Michelle is very straight forward about what she wants and there is no tricky questions on tests. shes great.

Microbiology lecture and lab are well designed and challenging. Michele is very helpful and projects professionalism during lecture and lab. Use her office hours to better understand the concepts of each lecture and do not be afraid to ask questions. She is instrumental in making you successful and pass the course. Highly recommend this professor.

Michele is a phenomenal teacher. She provides everything you need to know for tests in her lecture booklet, buying the textbook is not mandatory. She is incredibly intelligent and makes learning fun. She does care about her student?s success and is always willing to help you out during office hours. Her study guides for lecture exams and lab quizze

I would highly recommend taking Michele for lecture and lab, she is amazing!

Michele is a great teacher and a wonderfully smart, very nice woman. I really enjoyed her class and learned a lot. She is extremely helpful if you come to her with questions. Prepares you well for all tests. I would highly recommend her for lecture and lab.

If you study her guides you will get an A. Classes are a bit dry as she just reads directly from her power point, but if you study the guide you should get an easy A.

Michele is an amazing Micro professor. She is very knowledgeable, and she is very willing to answer questions. The only students she is "moody" with are the slackers who miss class half the time. Put forth the effort in this class, and you will be fine. No skating here.

Her lectures are not that entertaining, but EVERYTHING needed for exam success is on her study guide. Just match the guide to the printed notes she provides & you will be prepared for an A. Work the guide before review day so you can ask Q's & she will tell you the exact info for the short answer portion & clarifies anything. Just Ask!

Perchez is a good professor who has a passion about what she does. Yes the class is difficult but what science class is not. She gives you the tools to succeed so it is up to you. I recommend forming study groups as it helped me. Follow her study guide don't miss any classes and study early. Her class is not one you can cram for..Good luck.

Like any other bio class, if you study, you will pass. Michele is easy to talk to and very helpful. No need to purchase the textbook though. All the info is in her power points and study guides. But you do need the lab manual.

Michele is a great teacher. This class is HARD and takes a LOT of time for studying and extra hours in lab. But she is always available to help her students. She calls every student by name by the 2nd week of class,really cares and wants you to succeed.Go to her office hours with your study guide and she will go over anything and everything with u

She is one of the best teachers I have ever had. The class is time consuming so study early. The lab is easy as long as you know how to use a microscope well but if not she will help you. The lecture info is not that excited but her format makes it easy to learn. Use her office hours and email any questions to her and you will do well. JUST STUDY!

She is an ok teacher, on the scale 1-10, I give her a 7.5.

Michelle is a nice person but a super hard teacher and grader. She tries to trick you on quizzes and her tests are really difficult. She gives little to no extra points. Take another teacher if possible.

Mrs. Perchez was a very great teacher, yah she makes you work for your grade but I don't think nursing school will be any easier, she is extreamly helpful and very nice when you approach her, don't be scared to take her!!!!! just expect alot of work and the lab is real fun!

Tough class...YES! Professor Perchez is very clear on what she expects from her students. She is extremely approachable, organized, straight forward, and helpful. She's not for the faint of heart. So, if mommy still holds your hand, I recommend finding another professor to baby you. Michele, you rock!! :)

Prof Perchez provides plenty of opportunity to get a good grade. She does not use the textbook. She gives 4 exams plus an optional exam (grade can only help and not hinder) and final. The final is 60 questions & open note. You will have to study hard if bio doesn't come easy to you. Recommend you take her w/Valtierra.

She was very nice! Her class made me love microbiology... If you are lazy, do not take this class... you would have to spend hours and hours in open lab to get your unknowns! It is so much fun though... lecture is easy but boring.DO UR STUDY GUIDE!!!Lab quizzes are hard.. Lab Study guides are not helpful

she is a great teacher and she is very smart. ahe can teach you how to study academically, and she wants you to be accurate when you use the biological terms I learned a lot from her and I wish everyone takes her class.I got an A and I think if you study well before each class you will get it too.

Perchez is an awesome teacher. She makes things interesting and shes very interactive. Class is very difficult, but she is always there to help. Upon a request and getting to know her, she wrote me an amazing heart felt letter of recommendation to graduate school. I recommend her to anyone that needs/or wants to take microbiology.

She's great. No text is required only lab manual. Get ready to put in lots of hours. she's clear on what she needs from her students. Helpful during her off hrs. Be ahead of your studying although its hard to make it. All the notes from her book is on the exam. Study, study, study... Lab is fun, quiz is always hard.

This teach is very hard but she is very GOOD! I passed her class with a B while working 40+ hours a week. For sure be read to study! a lot of information. She is an amazing teacher, very helpful if you have questions, and her lectures are clear. There is no homework. Class just consists of Tests, Quizzes, and UNKs. Take this teacher. she's AMAZING!

She is an excellent instructor. Expect to wok for your grade.

Gives out study guides that coincide with tests, Essay Qs are hard but straight from the study guide. Do ANY and all extra credit, will only get 2 points, but that saved my grade from a B to an A. Homework is 1x a week, and worth barely any credit 0_0 but you'll need those points. It's hard but an A is possible, with office hours and study guide!

She is by far the best science professor I've ever had. Very clear on what she wants. Exams are straight out of study guide. Will help you if you ask. Lab quizzes were hard. Use the office hours for checking your essay questions. She likes her students to follow the rules and show discipline especially in the lab. work hard and A will be yours.

Definitely one of the hardest classes I've taken for my nursing prereq. Perchez is tough but fair. You will have to earn an A. They key is to study as much as you can. Perchez is the only teacher I felt pushed me to become better. I highly recomend if you want the best education. Utilize office hours for any questions and work hard.

Perchez is the best teacher I've ever had. She is very dedicated and passionate about teaching her students. An A in this class will be challenging but is achievable with lots of studying. Verify your essay questions during office hours to make sure youve gotten everything. Don't miss any labs. Highly recommend those serious about nursing.

Professor Perchez is an amazing and inspirational teacher. She really challenges her students because she wants them to be the best, and wants them to be well prepared for their future carriers. Her exams are challenging, but she provides you with lecture notes and study guides that tell you exactly what's going to be on the test.

Lots of work, but she makes it fun and easy. She keeps lecture interesting. Perfect her study guides and you will be prepared for each quiz and test. Lab is fun, but be prepared to schedule time to come in on other days to work on unknowns. Overall, I learned a lot and had more fun than I expected. Perchez is easy to talk to and will help you.

She is so matter-of-fact and by far the most organized professor I have ever encountered. I received a B, but only because I barely studied for all of her exams. She makes micro enjoyable and easy to learn. I definitely recommend taking her class, especially her lab.

Professor Perchez was great! I only had her for lecture, not lab. If you start studying early and study a lot , you will pass. This is a tough class with lots of information, but it is totally doable. All of her exams come right out of the study guide and she will go over your notes with you outside of class to make sure you have the correct info.

Perchez was an amazing micro teacher! Not an easy A, but you will do well if you PUT IN THE EFFORT! I was 10 points away from an A with endless hours of studying. Her lecture exams are straight from the study guide. Take your short answers to her office hours for her to check. Lab quizzes are tough- STUDY! Unknowns are worth a lot, so try!

Extremely organized. Exam and quiz study guides are extremely straightforward. Take advantage of office hours- ask any questions you might have. She wants to help you and she wants you to do well but she also wants to see you put in the time and effort. Returns graded material quickly. Not super nice but extremely respectable. Take her.

When reading these comments know that microbiology is not going to be easy no matter who you take. She gives you all the information and makes herself availabe for office hours to go over your study guide so take advantage of that from the start. Getting an A is possible but you will definitely have to work for it.

I had her for both lab/lecture and I loved that class! It was extremely fun- BUT you really have to do your work in there. Everything on the study guides are on the test so come into her office hours and do it! Shell take the time to look over it and correct it. She wants you to succeed. However, make sure you KNOW your stuff! Tests are tricky.

Don't be discouraged by other reviews. She is amazing. I enjoyed her lab and lectures. Very knowledgeable. Lectures are not boring and love her style of teaching. Her study guides for quizzes and exams are hers unlike other profs. Do the study guides and have her check then during office hours. Know what's in the study guide and you should be good

Michele Perchez is a tough teacher that pushes u in a way that totally prepares u for nursing school. I took her for lecture only but her study guides are literally completely on point for the exams. U need to go to her office hours and she will go over it with you. What she wont do is baby u or coddle your hand. U need to be ready to be pushed.

Yes BIO 152 is not the easiest course, but it shouldn't be. It's a tough topic, and Professor Perchez does a great job of teaching it. The class is structured in such a way that you really do learn the material well. She's not, you know, the super sweetest lady ever, but she's whip smart, fair, and someone I definitely admire. Highly recommend.

These science classes are never going to be easy. I think she made the class easier to understand with simple language. She never picked on anyone to just answer. Put the time into study, watch her lecture videos, turn in all the work on time, every point counts.

Overall this professor was really sweet. I took her online class and participation to lecture/lab was completely optional. She was laid-back! The only thing that I would say is that I personally found it kind of hard to pay attention during our zoom lectures. I just felt like she wasn't very thorough or I guess I just found it hard to understand.

Professor Perchez makes a class as difficult as microbiology very doable. She is very fair and very supportive of her students. Be sure to go to her office hours!! :)

I took Professor Perchez in Spring of 2023 while also attending HS and she's honestly the best Biology professor at Grossmont College. She inspired me to do my best and because of her, I've chosen Biology as my major. If you don't study you'll fail this class, she wants you to learn the material she teaches and she'll help you too. 10/10 Prof

Professor Perchez is a great professor. Do the study guides and attend class and you are guaranteed to get a good grade. Micro is a difficult subject but she made it easy to understand. She replies to emails quickly, always accessible outside of class, and is understanding of others' circumstances.

She is an amazing microbiology professor. She encourages the student to think and solve the problem by themselves first.Then she will provide great feedback to help you figure out the issues. Be prepared about the classes, and study guides definitely will help you understand important concepts. She is caring and hope her student succeed.

Professor Perchez's class can be challenging, but engaging with her teaching style and using resources like Unstuckstudy for study prep can really help. She's caring, though strict, and will support you if you put in the effort.

Professor Perchez is fantastic! Replies and posts grades almost instantly, keeps great office hours, and turns a tough course into something genuinely engaging. Grades rest entirely on quizzes and exams, but if you complete her study guides (she will check them prior to tests) and you'll nail every quiz and pull A/Bs on tests. Absolutely take her!

Perchez is great, smart, and cool! She's pretty serious in the first 10 weeks, but becomes really chill/sweet in the last month or so. Her class is quite quiz/exam heavy, so you must do well on those. No practical exams, only TWO unknowns, and you must study if you want an A. Always DO WHAT SHE ADVISES YOU TO DO!! And go to office hours.
