Professor very helpful and friendly. Study guides and Exams were wonderful. We were able to convince her to teach Bio II (normally she teaches I). I received a B and an A (HATE SCIENCE, but she made class fun).

good and helpful teacher. tests are take home except final and lab exams. don't be fulled by the take home tests, her lab exams are difficult while the final is memorization. you should at least make a B in her class.

If you are looking for an easy A, take her. And you'll still manage to learn something. She helps you in your lab if you ask. She gives take home test, which is great. Its no way to fail her class. Her lectures are broken down into everyday language. She uses great examples to explain concepts.

Dr. Amaku is an excellent professor. She takes the time to explain issues that students may not understand. When it comes to lab she makes the learning process fun. Her exams are fair & she uses her powerpoint lectures & text for the 4 exams given throughout the semester. I would hightly recommend this professor for this course.

Excellent, very knowledge, former assistant of a legend Dr Phillip E. Swartz. She is one of the best Biology professors in HCCS. She is easy, but you need to willing to put a lot of effort to get a good grade. Take all BIOL 2401, 2402, and 2420 from her, and get all A. Highly recommended.

Dr. Amaku is a very nice professor and explains everything to you. She is very helpful and looking forward to have her again in the summmer. Attendance is mandatory, but she is pretty laid back person. Adore her:)

She is very knowledgeable about her facts. She is GOOD!!!

Excellent

Dr. Amaku is great! She make learning biology fun with the labs. The summer session was a lot of work since it was only five weeks long. Come to class and follow her notes and you should get an A!

I ALSO TOOK MICRO BIO WITH AMAKU. SHE IS A VERY NICE TEACHER AND EASY. IT'S EASIER IF YOU WORK IN A STUDY GROUP IN CLASS SO BE FRIENDLY WITH CLASSMATES.

SHE WAS TOUGH BUT STRAIGHT TO THE POINT

Ms. Amaku is very nice and so much fun. I enjoyed her class. Im planning to take her again in fall. Very easy.

Dr. Amaku was a cool professor, but sorta to laid back. Kinda Lazy...will just read from the powerpoints from the textbook site. But overall ok. I made a B....barely because of the xtra credit. She wasnt organized at all. Good luck.

SUPER EASY!!! All the tests are online,which means you can Google;) Lab exam is in class,i studied for 1 hr before the exam and made a 73%. Got an EASY A!:) Gives tons of extra credit....

u can make an A in micro by taking her!do all quizzes online,completion grade for labmanual,4tests(google it),final:same as the review,dontmiss assignments,it all helps to get a 90 because labexam is hardest of all.ask her to open up any assignments that u missed.discussions are completion grade.do the reviews before exams.be wise and use Google.

very easy, teacher is super nice. hybrid class with homework and test online. lab was very easy also. final was in class but average not hard at all. read powerpoints and chapter you will do fine. i got an A. also gives extra credit for every test. class is straight forward. i highly recommend this teacher.

you can easily get an A in her class. She lets you know exactly what you need to know for lab exam. All her tests are online except the final. You have to study for that one since its departmental her review was only 25% helpful.

Dr. Amaku was Great! Always straight forward. 75% of exam came from review and 25% from the reading material (powerpoint). Just do the work and you will come out wonderfully.

Wonderful professor. Amaku gives bonus points for in-class participation. Be there. Also, get the text book and READ IT! The course is hard but Amaku makes it interesting.

Take this class if you really want to learn Microbiology. Tests are challenging, but if you study enough, you should be able to do well in this class. Professor Amaku is great and has a sense of humor.

In the beginning it seemed hard however if you study do all assignments given you will pass homework assignments were online and the presentations we had to do were easy. She will help you if you help yourself i made a B lecture exams were breeze if you studied

She is a good instructor, and very funny. She will want you come to her lecture if you cannot understand in your hybrid class. I took her class, she is very good to her students. Everyone loves her class.I encourage you to take her if you want to make an easy A.

Professor Amaku is a wonderful lecturer. Very lively and good at explaining tough concepts. Don't let her name fool you, she speaks clear and fluent English (unlike some of her colleagues). 5 exams and a final (one dropped), 20 homeworks due at end of class, 1 "group" project, and a lot of extra credit opportunities. Very informative, and not hard.

Dr. Amaku is honestly one of the best instructors that I have ever taken. Her scientific acumen is out of this world. She is so mart! I love how she would connect concepts from chem into our micro course. She never made you feel unintelligent if you did not know a concept. She would always take her time to break it down. She's quite funny too!

I took this class in the summer 5 weeks, it was a lot of reading and homework. Which is expected in a mini semester. She always answered emails back in a timely manner. Be prepared for lots of reading and studying.

Pretty much just show up and do the labs and you'll be just fine. Only 2 tests throughout the semester.

In the beginning it seemed hard however if you study do all assignments given you will pass . Theres a lot of quizzes and about 5 lecture exams

This lecturer is Amazing. I like even though I use to ask too many questions in her class but I bet you she is a good lecturer. You need to be ready to read to pass this class, but she made materials available for you to read and pass. She is not struck about attendance and she doesnt waste time in class. She goes straight to the point with the le

Took her 5 wk mini for A&P lab. She didnt lecture, she tells you when HW is due and you just work on that and study during class. She reviews before test. No surprises everything on the test is on the lab manual. She is very caring!!! She will make sure you pass. drops lower exam grade. TAKE HER! learn all the models she shows you and you will pass

professor is a caring person, she always try to make sure you understand thoroughly her lecture. She reply email fast and give good feedback. The only problem is exam required L.D.B; however, the exam questions relates to what in lecture, study study study. She would be the best if you want to learn something.

Very simple class to take and clear schedule on labs and when they are due. As long as you stay on top of the labs Easy A. Very sweet Professor no textbook needed, provided in McGraw-Hill Connect.

I took professor's Amaku Lecture and Lab class for 10 weeks in the Summer. Microbiology is not an easy subject, but she provided a lot of great material, and she is very responsive and helpful. Her LAB was extremely fun, we had a simulator like you're really in the class. Each exam has 2 attempts.

Dr. Amaku is very knowlegeable. She is eager to see that her students understand the material. Her tests are not too easy even though she gives two attempts. She gives exra credit opportunities and grades in a curve.

I didnt attend many lectures, but completed my labs on time & gave a half assed effort overall & ended up with a B. Recommended to those who want to coast through with little effort.

Dr. Amaku sure knows her stuff! I took her class in the summer. She makes learning biology digestible and interactive. Despite the time crunch, I managed to do so well and retain a lot of information. Pay attention to her lectures and you'll do fine!

Great Teacher if your taking her online. very easy work load. at home labs that are fun, very easy grader, you cant fail this class if u do the work. if you need an easy A take her. also replies to emails fast

She was my best professor for fall 22. I took her for bio lab and I wish she taught lecture. I learned more in her lab than I did lecture, she's super thorough and gives plenty of resources to help understand the material. She can be a bit disorganized at times but she's still human.

Absolutely take professor Amaku! she is fun and caring to her students as long as you complete her work. Her tests are challenging but doable. Not much homework besides the standard pre lab and post lab quiz.

Professor Amaku was a great teacher! She made you work for the grade but she was also understanding. I took the microbiology lab with professor Amaku. There were 2 exams that were slightly challenging, but if you study and participate in class you will not fail. There was also an optional final that you could take to bump up your grade.

I took a summer class! Dr. Amaku is well respected & passionate about her lectures. This woman is so intelligent! Unfortunately we were under some weird circumstances because of Hurricane Baryl, but she helped us get to our desired grades. It's a challenge! Be prepared to STUDY/READ, DO NOT give up and see it through! You'll be happy that you did.

I just took her for a second start, and she's super caring and responds to emails quickly and lab; she seems intimidating at first, but she's super sweet and always helpful. She grades the pre-labs and labs, and there are 3 tests, one final exam and 2 tests for the first half of the labs, and then the second one for the final couple of labs.

prof amaku was good! great instructor and lectures were interesting. not a lot of busy work but a lot of studying, 5 exams online browser lockdown few assignments 1 discussion

Prof Amaku was very understanding , there's 4 exams the fourth is optional, all her exas contain labeling and question but they are all from the Mcgrall hill labs reports. The last 2 exams are online. She did give us a word bank for the second one. she also drops your lowest grade. Shes low-key nice and funny. Not a rude person at all.

Very laid back, just make sure you're actually doing the work in/out of class. The lab had 3-4 partners, that you pick, and you would focus on 1 lab per class. There were pre-labs and a "lab reports" which is just a couple questions about the lab. If you're not at her home campus, some labs would not happen or take longer to set up.

Dr. Amaku is passionate and absolutely cares for her students, and encourages teamwork when needed. You must understand what you're learning and create a solid foundation of it. PPTs are provided before class. Download them and study the book with it, then enter class by comparing your notes to her lectures. You will fail if you don't study.

Great professor and great class. Very kind and always eager to answer questions or clear up any doubts. Gives a reasonable amount of time between exams to study well. The assignment load isn't overbearing as long as you prepare ahead of the due dates. Definitely recommend!

She's nice, but the lab reviews weren't very helpful for me. I honestly got an A mainly because she gives a lot of extra points, especially if mean is low and EGL survey. 3 Exams=60% are different (stations, online with webcam, and paper multiple choice), and she drops the lowest exam, which is the best part. The third exam is basically optional.
