Mr. Tolar was a good professor. He taught the material very well and was fair with everything. However this is a tough class and you better be prepared to work for it if you want a good. Read the chapter before lecture, ask questions, and stick to the notes ( ESPECIALLY HIGHLIGHTED AND FILL IN BLANK) and study hard and you'll probally get an A.

Mr. Tolar was an amazing teacher to have this semester and I would definitely recommend taking him for Microbiology at Wallace. He relates all of the material we learn to real life situations, which really help you better comprehend what is being taught. If you want an A in this class, you must study ALL of the highlighted material in his lectures.

Mr. Tolar is one of the best instructors I have had at WCC. This class was online, but he still held weekly meets to discuss material. He is very knowledgeable and explains material in an understandable way; however, you must put in the work yourself and study the material he gives you in order to be successful.

This class covers a lot of content; however, if you come to class, study, and put in the effort, you will be completely fine. The labs in this class are very hands on. I highly recommend Mr. Tolar for any class.

Professor Tolar is amazing - very helpful and works to ensure students succeed. The course is challenging but worthwhile. Unstuckstudy AI was a lifesaver for study prep.

He's funny but he talks way to much and get off track too easily. Barely talks about what's on the test

Lots of homework
So many papers

He talks a lot and gets off track easily and some his jokes are questionable but his class is easy to pass.

Class is very difficult a lot of information in a short period of time has a lot of fill in the blank without any word bank or multiple choice so beware YOU WILL HAVE TO LEARN AND APPLY and spell correctly! Unless your ALBERT EINSTEIN I 10/10 wouldn't recommend taking this class online or him at all

Tough grader
