Didn't study much in class and i still passed. Go to class and do your work and it is an easy class.

She explains topics very well. Good attitude and sense of humour. She likes to quiz you on models so your not surprised when it comes to Lab Tests. She is very particular when it comes to a test so be prepared to study good. So far she has been great.

Smart lady, very nice and helpful. Loves to be teaching and it is enjoyable to be in her class. Come to class and listen to the lecture, read the chapter and do the labs and you should be golden on the test.

very good teacher. she sure loves her job! good sense of humor. I really enjoyed her. Just make sure to study for the tests, they were pretty hard. Its just a lot of memorizing. Make sure you go to every lab and do the work, you'll definatly pass the class!! I'm trying to get her for my micro class too. She is a really good teacher!

Mrs Denis Arrue has been by far the best Bio teacher Ive ever had!! Very smart but doent come off that she is a know it all. Her lectures were very interesting and funny. Tests were challenging but she adds a lot of extra credit!!

Mrs. D is the best! She keeps it fun with her sense of humor and really cares about your grasp on the material. Her tests are not easy so study, but they make you learn. I had so much fun in her class & sort of wish I had more bio classes to take so I could take them with her.

I loved Mrs. D commercials. Usually they are related to the material that she is teaching. She makes the class soooooo interesting... !Loved her and learned a lot! I strongly recommed her if you are a serious student.

Mrs. D was great. She know's what she's talking about, and like someone else said, she doesn't act like a know-it-all like some teachers. I took this in summer and got a 95%. It's a lot of work, but if you do it, you'll be fine. Tests aren't that hard, but you do have to study to get an A. Fun class! Great enthusiastic teacher!

I took Mrs D's micro class and I really like her as a teacher....She is very by the book tho and doesnt let u go early EVER! Learned alot tho and shes nice, helpful, and wants you to succeed in the class. Also gives alot of extra credit to help if ur struggling on the tests!

micro is awesome! almost changed my major! teacher has an accent but everything she covers is useful 2 ur major! Everything she lectures on will be on the test. labs r so fun!

Mrs. D is a great teacher. Hard class but she is willing to help students. She does have an accent but I could understand her just fine. Absolutely recommend this teacher. She doesn't play favorites. She's strict with EVERYONE!

Fabulous teacher! Very well organized, fair, prepares her students for her exams. She is PASSIONATE about her subject!

I had feared this class from the time I started college! Everyone talked about how hard it was. Mrs. D made it fun and I really enjoyed her class. Lab tests are a little hard, but after the first one you'll get what she expects you to know. I got an A fairly easily, especially for a 5 unit class. I'd recommend her to my friends.

I don't know where to begin, Mrs. D, is a very passionate teacher, she is very likable and easy going, and most importantly very knowledgable in her subject. Her lecture exams aren't hard if you study, and her lab exams are straight up whats in the lab manual. Be warned, her MICRO class is very enjoyable but INTENSE. Be sure to take it seriously.

Nuria is great but does have a slight accent.She made everything she wanted very clear at the beginning of the semester so it was very easy 2 get a good grade.Her exams are decent;there were some type-os &grammar issues but for the most part doable.If u do take her class b sure 2 study xtra for the essay ?s, she likes detail, I even drew pictures.

Personally, I didn't think that her Microbio class was hard. If you have a good background in biology and chemistry, you'll find that it almost review with some interesting facts about bacteria. I took her class during the summer and I had a lot of fun. To succeed you must: read the book, understand terminologies and concepts and have fun.

I LOVE Mrs. D! She is an amaizing teacher, a lot of fun! She's passionate about what she does. Has an accent but you can understand her. Study and you'll do fine!

She is a really nice person! If you come outside of class for anything she's more than willing to help you. She gets off topic a bit but she's good about not testing on what she didn't go over. She's really easy on her grading. The tests are ridiculously easy. Labs are fun. Over all awesome teacher.

Great! She's awesome. She loves her chemistry so if you slipped through Chem3A without learning anything you're in for a rude awakening. This is MICRO! It's pretty much chemistry so get used to it. The tests are SO easy! Beware of the genetics exam! It's always the lowest test grade. Know WHY you're dong the things in lab, don't just do them.

I don't get what the other students are complaining about. She is an excellent teacher. I laughed at the oine student that complained about an exam on 4 chapters. That isn't much at all. Mrs. D is very helpful and is willing to do what she can to help you - IF you make an effort as well. No hand holding here. It's real school.

Very Nice Teacher, but this class was very overwhelming. You really have to be dedicated and do the work and actually study and focus if you want to pass. If you take this class prepare yourself to take 7 exams and do a lot of homework.

I loved this class. Mrs.A is a very good teacher who is always willing to help. The labs are fun and make the time fly by. Pay attention, do all the reading and homework and you should do fine. she offers to help students that are struggling. Do the online homework it helps with the tests.

Microbiology is a subject the instructor is passionate about so she makes it interesting. Like any 5 unit science class it requires studying to do well. If you use the outlines she has and pay attention to what she emphasizes in lecture you will do well. Put in the time and you should get an A and learn a lot from the course.

This instructor is passionate about what she does. She's one of my favorite teacher at Fresno City College.

I love Mrs. D! Very nice lady and is very helpful in teaching you the material. It is a 5 unit class so get ready to study!!!! I do NOT recommend taking this class in summer, you can pass but micro will be your life for 6 weeks. Labs are super fun,tests are hard but not if you study. Hw online and in labs. Also love her accent!

One of the best instructors I have had at Fresno City College. She almost converted me into a microbiologist, but I decided to continue with the same major because I already took so many prerequisites already. Labs was fun and lectures was interesting.

Took the summer session of micro, worked close to full time and got an A. She is passionate and that makes it more fun. If you test well you will do fine. If you have trouble with tests, you will have a hard time with this class. I mean what are you going to do in the real world google everything while your patient is bleeding out?

So far, u need to study to pass the test. No study guide. There were some questions on the test that wasn't cover in lecture, so u need to read ur textbook&take considered all the handout she post up when taken the test. She's very nice&give extra credit here& there. She do let you lose on lab considering it's only her. So don't worry& ask her

This class has a quiz once in a while on lab information (so far 2 this sms). She is very kind-hearted but other than that her class is not to be fool with. Do your work and study!!! Take my words. 2 lab exams. 4 lecture including final. She is unclear sometimes so ask her for any due assignments!!! she'll accept note for EC for some chs.

There are not enough good words I can give about Mrs. D. Hands down the BEST professor I have ever had. She is so patient, cares about her students, and really is there for you when you need her. Class was VERY tough, but show up, have a good attitude, participate and STUDY STUDY STUDY and you will be fine!! Im gonna miss her!!

Gives lecture notes, but exams include material outside of those notes. Study guide is "know everything." Lab is fun, but like others have said, no joke. Expects more from students than is in the actual textbook and lab manual, so listen to everything she says and try to keep up. She's got an open door office policy for questions. Tough grader.

Amazing Professor, almost changed to Microbiology but continued with Nursing. Highly recommended.

Mrs. D is by far one of the best instructors I have had. I took this course over the summer and it was awesome. Having lab everyday really helps with remembering what is going on and what is being tested. It is a demanding class, especially if taken over the summer, but it is a science class. She was very thorough with her lectures and lab.

Her lecture tests are difficult in a sense that it covers a lot of chapters (usually 5 to 6 chapters). Lab tests are doable if you understand the concept. There are a lot of memorizations involve, so beware. There are three lect exams, 2 lab exams, and one final lect exam. Read the chapters and do the study guide in order to pass the test. GL!!

Shes a good professor if you honestly try in the class and put the effort in. She isnt very bad its definitely not a breeze by class you have to pay attention and put in work. She is a little unclear with things and does take a while to put grades in it was very rushed at the end of the semester. Bio tutoring helped me a lot in the class.

Mrs. D is an amazing professor! She cares about her students' success and is willing to give help to those who ask for it. You have to pay attention in class if you want to do well on her exams because not everything is written in her notes. She provides opportunities for extra credit. Her exams are multiple choice, free response, and matching.

Such a great professor and I cant wait to take her for microbiology

Sweet and caring professor. Talks a lot but just wants to make sure that you are understanding the material. Very unorganized, falls behind a lot with grading but this is helpful because you can convince her to push back tests and she is gracious with late work. Little opportunities for extra credit from lab. Work hard and you'll succeed.

the only problem is her accent. Everything else is good. make sure to study for the tests. Offers rare extra credit and is willing to help you out.

She will speak until your ears fall off and you will have no idea what she is talking about unless you are extremely knowledgeable in microbiology in the first place. BUT she is sweet and has a great personality always looking out for students no matter how idiotic we can be in class and get micros all over the floor and everywhere haha. TOUGH

She is a good professor. Do all the assignments and study the material. She sometimes gives study guides use them, they are the same as the exams. The lectures like the exams. Take notes study them you are good.

She provides a moderate workload. She is very kind and understanding. Her lectures are very interesting and only required a ZOOM meeting once a week. She tries her best to make the material understandable for students. She loves participation and hearing that students understand what she is teaching. Great professor and easy class. Loved her!

I enjoyed Professor Nuria Denis-Arrue's class. She's so sweet, understanding of her students and wants them to succeed. I took her class during the pandemic so everything was online. Easy class to follow, plenty of reading, weekly learning concepts/hw assignments, and weekly zoom sessions, but it's a bio class after all so expect to learn a lot.

I took her class in 2020. She's a very nice and kind professor and really enjoys teaching the subject. There was an online book. It starts off just like any regular class but then it can get a bit tough with the subject. Online labs are easy and can be done multiple times. Decent amount of quizzes but based on book. Takes a while to respond emails.

Shes an awesome professor, caring, makes you work for your grade, she wants you to know and learn the material, bit of a tough grader. Just make sure you pay attention to lectures and labs, the she gives study guides, theyre very helpful.

I took this class as a hybrid class. For the online portion, she had recorded lectures and the homework assignments were on Pearson. For the labs, make sure to bring the lab manuals and take any notes during the lab onto it (will come in handy later). Exams were great, attend study sessions and pay attention to labs and homework assignments

Great instructor learned well in the class and understood all the material being taught. this class was a hybrid so the majority of the work was done online but would meet once a week for a lab. Expect to have very long connect assignments, test and quiz were very straight forward and based off all the labs and lectures.

I can't say enough good things about this prof. I genuinely looked forward to our synchronous lectures, and she inserted bits of micro knowledge where ever she could. She was just SO enthusiastic about her subject matter, it was infectious.

Professor D. is so kind! She is however extremely unorganized and leaves you unsure of what to study for the test. Her class is enjoyable and I learned so much from her! If you are able to bear with her bad organization then I highly recommend taking her for Microbiology! She is so passionate about what she teaches and is very kind!

I took her Bio5 class for summer and it was manageable. She is a little quirky and super lenient. Very sweet and genuine in her instructions. You can tell she really loves what she does. She is invested in our success but can be a bit rushed. Overall, I would take her again.

Overal, she was an amazing teacher. Her clear directions and gave multiple attempts to get the correct answers as well as offering help for every assignment.

Although this class was hard, the professor was very understanding and caring as she opened study sessions and was readily available during office hours. However, yes the course is demanding, but so is any Microbiology class you encounter. It will require you to be very organized with your time. There are weekly chapters, quizzes, and many exams!

Overall, this professor's class was amazing. This is a 5 credit course so of course there will be plenty amount of work. There is opportunities for extra credit and her exams are easy as long as you follow the weekly study guides and course objectives.

Professor Arrue is passionate about her lectures, and I really enjoyed them. While the assignments were a bit semi a lot, I got used to it. Make sure to do your homework, as it makes a difference in your grade, and if you miss her labs, you'll also miss the pop-up quizzes, which she always gives full credit for participation.

Super passionate about Microbiology, very funny and caring professor! Good lectures and great labs.

Prepare for heavy work, lots of studying, turn in your work in time that's all I can say! To get the most full credit and pass her class is get as must as get your assignment done. My Pearson mastering is worth 100 points take advantage don't procrastinate.

I loved taking this class with Mrs. D! It's easy to tell how passionate she is about the material she teaches. The class has multiple tests, all with essay questions that are expected to be answered in detail. However, she provided plenty of resources to help me study as well as opportunities for extra credit. I would definitely take her again!

Those rating Nuria negatively did not put in the work. What are they expecting, an easy class? LOL. Although difficult, this course was extremely interesting. As long as you study, participate, and ask questions, you'll be good.
