Dr. Stanley is an excellent professor and wants to see her students succeed but I have several problems with her teaching methods. 1) Memorizing study guides does not prove that you are smart, 2) Make labs harder lab should not be an easy A 3.) Most real colleges do not give out study guides your notes are your study guide and learn the material!!

If you have the option to take her, DO IT! She is very quick to respond to emails and is very understanding. She is very hands-on and gives a study guide before every test; study it, it will be what's on the test. Be sure to go to every class, attendance is graded. The best class I've taken at Gordon!

She really cares about her students. She will do everything she can to help her students succeed. She is easy to talk to and reach outside of class. She went above and beyond when switching to online material because of COVID 19. I enjoyed her lectures prior to that, she is very funny and makes the material fun to learn.

Best professor ever. Prepared me for nursing school. Her tests are questions directly from the study guide and she even tells you which ones are. Super funny and caring. Would take her for every class if she'd do it.

MY favorite professor at Gordon State. I excelled in Microbiology because of Dr. Stanley. She made class easy, fun, and exciting! I would 10/10 recommend her. I wish I could have her as my professor again, but she prepared us well for the future. Thank you Dr. Stanley

Dr. Stanley is an amazing professor. Everything she teaches in lecture will be on the test. 4 exams, open note and open book. Make sure to take good notes and write everything she writes on the board. Open to any questions you have and is always available via email, office hours, text, etc. 10/10 recommend!

Dr. Stanley is an AMAZING professor! Her class is not an easy A, but she makes you understand the topics discussed. There are 4 exams and attendance is her main concern. I highly recommend and would take her for every single class if it was available!

Amazing teacher. If you do the work she will help you pass. She teaches in a way that makes you understand. Her test are hard, only because they are open book/notes so be ready to write. She gives clear lectures and if you have a question she will help you understand it better. Take this class and you will not regret it.

Dr. Stanley is a top-notch professor that focuses more on the actual content and making it engaging as opposed to getting a ridiculous amount of information for the test. Her labs are also less focused on more PCR or gel electrophoresis, and instead focuses on making an actual discovery. Best professor I've ever had!

Dr. Stanley is amazing at breaking down complicated concepts and making sure you understand for the test. She is incredibly accessible outside of class & responds to emails almost immediately most of the time. She is willing to help any way she can to make sure you succeed. Show up to class, put in the work! You'll do fine.

Dr. Stantley was such a great professor and does not bore you with having to learn PAMPS AND PRRS. The study guides help tremendously and it really helped do them as she goes through slide shows.

Dr.Stanley is the absolute be professor I have ever had. Although her test are heavy, she gives you everything you need to make an A on every assignment. The key to making a good grade is attendance. She does not use a book therefore, she gives all notes in lecture. She makes class interesting and fun. She makes everything relate to real life.

Makes study guides similar to exams Exams are take home and open for a week (download a word doc and do it on your own time) Everything she says in class answers the questions; if you can't find an answer it is directly in the textbook You do not have to understand microbiology to make an A Didn't have to take final if happy with your grade

Dr. Stanley is the BEST. Her lectures are interesting and not too long and you do such fun things in lab. You're always learning about something interesting and never boring. Dr. Stanley gives credit where credit is due and if you do not necessarily get a question on the test right, she will give partial credit. I loved taking Dr. Stanley.

Dr. Stanley is GREAT! She actually makes learning fun. There are so many parts of my daily life where I think "Hey! I just learned about that in Stanley's class." 10/10, if you want to take an easy micro class with a fun professor, take HERS! And all her exams are take home and open note

Dr. Stanley is AMAZING! She is genuinely hilarious, her lectures are engaging, and all of her Exams are open-note/take-home. She hates Essays, so her class projects are really fun (non-essays). As long as you take the notes she writes on the board, you can pass with an EASY A+. More professors should be like her! I actually LEARNED in her class!
