There was a lot of homework with chapter activities and reading assignments but they weren't hard. She a great professor, she makes the lectures interesting. Test weren't hard, she gives learning objectives to study which help because they are actually on the tests.
She acts like she cares about course content, but doesnt care for the students that have shown to put effort into the course. Do not recommend this course. Did everything she asked, but still didnt get any results out of it. She acts like if you do the learning objectives you will do well but tests are different than the learning obejctives.
Dr. Rhodes is exemplary, she cares about her students and is very understanding. This class is difficult and the grade you receive is directly proportional to the amount of effort that is put in. I found lab the most tedious part of the class, felt like a lot of reading and writing (not difficult), would have loved some more hands on or wet labs.
Dr. Rhodes shows abundant interest in her students abilities to learn. She actively tries to provide resources to utilize for success. Microbiology is an incredibly fun class, mainly due to Dr. Rhodes enthusiasm about microbes! If you stay ahead and put in work, you will be able to thoroughly enjoy the course without being nervous about a grade!
This class was definitely a little overwhelming at first. But once you get into the hang of things and understand how she structures her classes, this class will become fairly easy. I appreciate how up-to date Dr. Rhodes is with our generation Z lingo, which made her lectures very enthusiastic and enjoyable!
Dr. Rhodes's teaching style complemented my learning style very well. Her PowerPoints are sometimes hard to follow but they make sense once she walks through them during lecture, which is why attendance is mandatory. If you fill out the Learning Objectives in a complete and detailed manner, then you are very well prepared for the exams.
Dr. Rhodes is awesome! She gives learning objectives over each lecture and filling those out is a great way to review content for exams. Speaking of exams, some questions are pulled right off the learning objectives and test content is always something you would be able to find in her powerpoints. 10/10 would recommend.
She is by far one of the best professors I have had. She is able to speak in Layman's terms and make hard concepts very easy to understand. She gives us amazing study resources for every exam. Dr. Rhodes has amazing energy and passion for what she does. There are not many professors I can tell just love their job, but she is one of them.
The class can be very tough. However, Dr. Rhodes does a fantastic job breaking all of the content down in a way that makes much more sense than it would otherwise. One of the best courses I have taken at MSSU with one of the best professors.
Dr. Rhode's lectures are very fast and she often just reads off the slides. She fails to try things back together and doesn't review things.I personally didn't love this class. It was very test heavy and there was no assignments or quizzes to check your understanding. It's really not too hard of a class just wish I learned more.
Great professor with an obvious care for her students to learn the material. Immunology is a difficult subject, and she tries her best to drill that knowledge in. If you do the learning objectives and study them, you will do well on her exams. She's pretty funny too.
Overall, Dr. Rhodes is an outstanding professor. She never fails to make her lectures informative as well as incredibly entertaining. You must study the material as well as the textbook in order to perform well on tests, but she is always willing to help if you have any questions. I definitely recommend taking a course from Dr. Rhodes.
She is an amazing professor! She is funny and easy to understand. She is great at helping outside of class.
Dr. Rhodes is an amazing professor! She is super into what she teaches and it just pulls you in as well. Her lectures are easy to follow along, but there is a decent amount of outside work that comes along with them. She's super helpful and I would definitely take her again.
She is a great professor but im not a fan the way she does her tests. A good portion of the points on the test are written questions at the end.
Knows what she is teaching. Lectures are fun and engaging and is very open to questions. Is available outside of class and good with communication and setting up appointments to meet and I liked the use of BB Messenger. Gives multiple tests which allows for those that tank one test to still make a good overall grade in the class.
Dr. Rhodes was a great professor. She made a difficult course enjoyable. I would recommend anyone that needs Immunology, Virology, Microbiology to take those courses with her.
Dr. Rhodes is who you should take if you want a funny, personable, and quirky professor. She is super easy to communicate with and shes extremely eager to help you learn the class material AND any random curiosities you may have.
This class was not an easy one by any means but if you put forth the effort and time you should be well rewarded. She gives learning objectives for each chapter and will use those to make the exams, so there shouldn't be anything on the exam that you haven't seen before.
Dr. Rhodes class is tough you will have to do lots of studying on your own. The lecture teaching didn't work with the way I learn. However, Dr. Rhodes is always there to help.
Dr. Rhodes is by far my favorite professor so far. She is helpful, makes her lectures interesting & overall sets everyone up for success. You still have to do your part by studying, doing homework & coming to class, but her class is very enjoyable.
Dr. Rhodes is the best professor I've had. The material is difficult, but if you follow the suggestions that Dr. Rhodes gives you can succeed. You will always know what to expect and how to achieve it with this professor. If I was confused or did not understand something in the reading, when she lectured on it, I was always able to "get it".
A very organized and kind professor, who makes lectures entertaining and is hilarious. Study guides that she provides are very well representative of content on the exams.
Dr. Rhodes is by far my favorite professor. I have been in her microbiology course this past semester and she has made this class, both lecture and lab, very enjoyable. She is very knowledgable and enthusiastic about what she teaches and always uses humor to connect with the class. Highly recommend taking any of her courses!
The material for the class lecture can be difficult, but Professor Rhodes can always be reached during office hours and even by communication on blackboard. The labs are simple and easy to pass. All due dates and daily assignments are on the blackboard calendar.
Professor Rhodes explains all material and in good detail for the exams. She cares about her students and tries to do the best she can to make her class as stress free as possible while still getting things done.
I really enjoy having Dr. Rhodes as a professor! She is truly amazing and so very helpful is you ever have any questions. As long as you attend lectures and got over the learning objectives you should do fine in this course.
Immunology is a tough class, but Dr. Rhodes gives learning objectives for each chapter. If you stick to the learning objectives and fill them out thoroughly, you will do fine on the exams. Make sure to be detailed in your learning objectives or you will likely not study enough information from the lectures.
Even though Immunology is a tough class, Dr. Rhodes lectured really well to help easily digest difficult material. Her tests are spread evenly over the material and you have a enough time to complete the exams. Overall, I loved it this class and I would definitely take it again.
Dr. Rhodes is a fantastic professor. She makes the material so much easier & more enjoyable to learn. She is fun, energetic, & encouraging, & it's clear she really knows the material that she's teaching. Even on my bad days, I always look forward to going to her labs & lectures. I am definitely going to try to take more classes with her.
Makes learning interesting. Is hilarious and enjoyable to listen to.
I would hands down take this class again! Dr. Rhodes is the best professor that I have ever had at Southern. She is so caring about her students and is extremely understanding!
Dr. Rhodes is very knowledgeable and her material is very well organized. Her lectures are pretty long, but she gives you learning objectives to answer for each chapter to study for the exam. If you answer these and pay attention in class, you should be fine. She's always willing to help and is very approachable! I recommend taking her courses.
Dr. Rhodes will help you if you need it. She cares for her student's ability to learn in her class.
I would not say that this course was easy, it was a challenging course, but with Dr. Rhodes, she makes it a lot easier to learn the material. If I ever needed help with something she would always be willing to help! I would definitely take this class again!!
great prof, had her for medical micro, made a tough class not only do-able, but actively tried to help you succeed. one of the best profs i've ever had.
Dr. Rhodes is very knowledgeable about immunology and does a great job teaching this course. She is very funny and livens up the lectures so that they are not so dense. The course is difficult, as it should be, but Dr. Rhodes makes it all very clear and her exams are based on the study guides exactly as promised, but you have to know a lot.
Dr. Rhodes is a great professor. She does assignment a decent amount of homework, but it is all intentional not just busy work. Also you almost always get full credit on the homework as long as you actually do it. There was an exam every other week or every week. As long as you use the learning objectives she gives, you will be fine.
She makes a difficult subject really fun to learn! Dr. Rhodes makes it very clear what is expected and never asks questions that she has not taught students, which I appriciate. I would take another class with her.
Dr. Rhodes knows everything she teaches and is a very helpful professor. All exams are based on the learning objectives and her lectures.
Please take this professor! She is hilarious and explains everything in a way that makes sense and is also easy to get a hold of. Make sure to remember to do your lecture warm ups and heavily study the objective study guides she provides. They are literally verbatim to all of her lecture and lab exams. Literally one of the best there at MSSU.
She is an amazing professor! Truly one of the best here at MSSU. I would recommend her to everyone. She truly cares about your learning and wants to understand every single topic covered. She is willing to meet with you to help and makes class engaging and fun. If you can, I recommend you take her for every class you can! One of the best!!
Truly, Dr. Rhodes is a great professor. She always has an upbeat attitude and is easy to get along with. She clearly outlines the important material in her lectures that you need to know for the exams and is always willing to give extra help whenever needed.
Dr. Rhodes is simply an amazing professor. She was enthusiastic while giving lectures and made them extra interesting and easy to digest. She was hilarious and always made my day in class. She's always there to help you and she always takes extra care of that. I'd love to have her again as a professor.
Professor Rhodes is a wonderful professor who makes her lectures fun and exciting to listen to. She strives to help any student succeed and is willing to help with anything. Outstanding professor!
Truly a fantastic professor. Her lectures are structured in a way that you will remember the information. She provides many opportunities for supplemental points, including extra credit, pre-class work, and comprehension checks. She also provides a study guide. She's animated, fun, quirky, and brilliant.
Absolutely enjoyed how well structured the course is. Everything is planned out ahead of time and one can always knows what to expect in class and when everything is due.
Professor Rhodes gave a very clear outline of what the class would look like at the beginning. If anything changed she made sure we were all aware. She offers an online calendar for due dates. She is very easy to contact and makes her office a welcoming place.
Dr. Rhodes is preparation heavy so make sure to always be prepared for consistent homework, videos, and exams. This class was really fun and really great to learn about microbiology.
Be prepared to do a good bit of work (mostly studying) outside of classes and labs. As long as you make sure to do the work and study for exams you should do just fine. Also, Dr. Rhodes is available for assistance in her office hours in case you need help or a double check. Overall, a good professor and an enjoyable class.
Dr. Rhodes is a caring professor. Molecular biology is a hard subject and if you get behind it can be difficult to keep up with the schedule. Communicating is key, there's a lot of information packed into this class and if you don't put in the effort required to learn the material... You're not going to have a fun semester.
Dr. Rhodes is an extremely kind professor. She does her best to be accessible to students and help those who are falling behind. That being said, don't expect to breeze through this class. Follow the 1 hour in class 2 hours EXPECTED outside of class. If you stay organized, do your best, attend class you will be okay.
Sometimes her lecture outlines (study guides) do not match the test. She lectures over powerpoints which I like. When she grades test she gives a lot of half credit and points back.
Dr. R. gives great lectures and a lot of extra credit. Our labs were a rundown of fundamental, modern lab techniques. She canceled our big lab report at the end of the semester. This class requires a ton of outside work if you want to score high. Fill out your Learning Objectives for each section, and learn the PowerPoint slides, and you're set.
Dr. Rhodes tries to make lecture fun. She is very smart and knows a lot about this course. I would highly recommend filling out the learning objectives as you go through lecture everyday. This class definitely takes a lot of extra time and you can't be lazy in it. I really enjoyed the labs, they are fun and she brings great energy every day.
Dr. Rhodes is absolutely amazing. There is a lot of homework, but the assignments are small and super easy to complete. Dr. Rhodes provides learning objectives for each exam and if you go to class, do the assignments, and follow the learning objectives, you'll do just fine. She's fun, friendly, and always open to answering questions. 100% recommend
Just make sure you stay caught up with lectures and learning objectives
I have taken multiple classes with Dr. Rhodes, and each one has been amazing. She is a great lecturer and a great person. There is a lot of material in this course, but very manageable.
This class is a tough one. Viruses are no joke. But Dr. Rhodes has done a great job of breaking them down and explaining them. I took this class specifically because Dr. Rhodes taught it because I knew she would help me succeed. There are very few other professors that I could say the same about.
Dr. Rhodes is a wonderful professor! She makes learning biology fun and interesting. She has a great personality and is very funny, as well. It is very evident that Dr. Rhodes knows her material and that she is willing to help her students in a manner that is beneficial and approachable. She's a gem!
Dr. Rhodes has a great passion for the subject, and although the topic at hand can get lost in class discussion, it is always veered back on to the subject at hand. The overall course experience was incredible, and the amount of time Dr. Rhodes puts into ensuring her students understand the subject inside and outside of class hours is immense.
Dr. Rhodes is awesome! She was very understanding during the (too many) times something happened and I needed to take a test on a different day, and I loved that rather than having 5 assignments due at the end of the week, there were smaller 30-minute-ish assignments due each day, with the ability to turn in late work in dire circumstances. 200/10
She is a very good teacher, and provides everything needed to get a good grade in the class. Make sure to study the powerpoints and understand the material well, her tests can be pretty hard.
If you are a student who works and pays your own way through college the workload in this class is ridiculous. There are multiple assignments that are assigned that day and due that night at midnight. When you have a full time job and work from the time you get out of school till you go to sleep it is impossible to turn things in on time.
Dr. Rhodes has extensive knowledge in biology and passion for her job. I enjoy going to her class everyday. Bio is hard you just have to try to get the desired grade!
I really liked her class and the way she answered questions. Definitely go to her office hours because 1-on-1 with her going over the learning objectives is one of the best ways to get a good grade.
Dr. Rhodes is an amazing professor. She made her exams easy to study for with her learning objectives. She also offers plenty of extra credit opportunities. Lectures were easy to understand and she would always take the time to explain further in class if somebody was confused.
Dr. Rhodes was a highly organized professor who set forth clear expectations and made it easy to succeed if you put forth the effort.
The class is very structured. When given the syllabus, it contains a schedule for the semester and due dates of assignments. If there is any change to the schedule Dr. Rhodes informs her students via email and in class of changes. The syllabus also clearly indicates where points for the course are obtained and the total possible.
Dr. Rhodes is one of the best professors I've had at MSSU. She is really good at working with students until they know the course materials, and her labs are always enjoyable. I definitely recommend everyone take one of her classes before they graduate. You won't regret it!
Dr. Rhodes is a great professor who cares about the success of her students. She makes her lectures interesting and is open to answering questions. She does a good job of mixing fun information in as she teaches.
Dr. Rhodes is a great teacher for everyone. Her labs are engaging, she makes the content enjoyable, and she truly cares that she makes the content applicable to your life and your chosen career path. I would recommend her for any class you can take with her.
This class was very challenging, however, I am very glad that I was able to take it with Dr. Rhodes. Her labs are engaging, she makes the content enjoyable, and she truly cares that she makes the content applicable to your life and your chosen career path. I would recommend her for any class you can take with her, ESPECIALLY molecular.
All of the rumors that she is amazing are TRUE! As a senior and transfer student, I have been able to have many different experiences with a variety of professors, and I have never had a teacher so invested in her students and her work. Her enthusiasm is unmatched to any other professor, yet she is so knowledgeable. I looked forward to class daily.
Overall I really enjoyed Dr. Rhodes class and I was never bored with the class! There is a lot of lecture material so if you do not like cramming for exams, start studying for your tests a day or two in advance. Even with that said, her tests come straight from the learning objectives so if you know those, you'll do just fine!
By far the best teacher I have ever had! She is very interested and passionate in what she is teaching which makes it easier to learn the topic. Also she is very outgoing and funny which makes the class not boring.
Dr. Rhodes is an amazing professor and you will never be bored in class. She is very caring and passionate about what she teaches, and she does an amazing job of explaining concepts and procedures. As a student athlete I'm very thankful to have had such a caring and flexible professor. Very respectful to each and everyone!
This class is very straightforward and contains a lot of material. Although it might seem intimidating, Dr. Rhodes is an exceptional professor and paves a clear path for her student's success. For example, she lectures very clearly, answers questions thoroughly, and makes learning objectives nearly identical to her tests. Overall, an amazing class.
Dr. Rhodes is a very caring and awesome professor. She is always accessible outside of class and willing to answer any questions students may have. I definitely enjoyed having her in class and would take another class that she teaches. I loved how understanding she is, and how she offered plenty of opportunities for extra credit.
Dr. Rhodes is an amazing, caring and animated professor. Her lectures are clear and concise. There are 6 exams, but it easy to get an A if you study the power point. You do have to buy the textbook because she assigns pre lecture assignments before every lecture. Overall, Dr. Rhodes's class does take effort, but it is not hard to get an A.
Rhodes gives great lectures explaining the material and provides thorough powerpoints and study guides. If you study the learning objectives, you will do well on the tests.
Dr. Rhodes is extremely helpful outside of class. She will offer to study with you and review learning objectives if you go to her during office hours. Although the multiple choice on her exams can be very difficult, she grades the short answer questions with grace. There are many points in her class that can boost poor test grades.
Dr. Rhodes is an amazing professor. She is very knowledgeable about her subject. She has good lectures and is willing to help if needed. Her tests are pretty hard though.
Dr. Rhodes made this class very informational and smooth. She is one of the most organized professors I have had at MSSU. She always finds ways to involve us (the students). Always is willing to help and answer questions, even rephrase them for better understanding. Take her classes you will not regret it.
Dr. Rhodes does a great job presenting the material and makes herself available outside of class if you need extra help! Very understanding if you cannot make it to lecture/lab and has alternative material online that she makes available to you so you do not fall behind. Dr. Rhodes makes learning enjoyable and is very knowledgeable.
Dr. Rhodes did a great job in education the class on Molecular Cell Biology. Her lectures were clear and to the point and really prepared the class for her exams. She makes these chapter objectives that was optional to fill out, but I think there was a loot of extra information on it.
She is awesome! I loved her class and it was super easy to keep up in the class. A lot of your grade comes from exams, however, she prepares you super well in lecture. Every lecture she gives you learning objectives for you to look at the material one more time before the next lecture. She connects well with the students and lets us know who she is
Dr. Rhodes is an awesome professor! She is hilarious, and it is evident that she genuinely cares about her students. She is also very accessible outside of class if you ever need help.
By far one of the best professors I have had at MSSU! She cares about her students and is willing to help them with whatever they need. Would take any class with her again without hesitation.
Dr. Rhodes is an awesome professor and is very understanding of what her students are going through.
I LOVE Dr. Rhodes. One of the best professors in Moso's science dept. Lectures were easy to understand and she never read directly off of the slides. She does talk fast sometimes during lecture so it can be hard to keep up, but she will gladly go back over topics for you!
This teacher is very good working with you and helping you. She is very clear on what will be on exams and provides materials that with help.
Be prepared to listen to lectures. Lectures and learning objectives are what she tests on - if you listen to and fill those out thoroughly, you will do well on tests. She is a very engaging instructor that can explain very complicated subjects so that everyone can understand them.
Very enthusiastic instructor who loves what she does. A quality that always makes a teacher great
Dr. Rhodes is an amazing professor. She makes complex topics easy to grasp and prepares you well for the lecture exams. As long as you go over the PowerPoints and fill in the learning objectives, you will do well on her exams. Also, her labs are fun and interesting. Overall, I really enjoyed this class.
Dr. Rhodes is one of the best professors I've had. The class is difficult but she makes it easy to understand the material. She also gives study guides for her tests which is helpful.
This class was very interesting and in depth, the professor is good at holding your attention during lectures and she is fun to learn from.
Worked to make the material understandable and applicable. Clear expectations for assignments and exams make it easy to work for a good grade. She's just plain fun to be around.
She's just plain fun to be around. Clear expectations make assignments and exams accomplishable.
Dr Rhodes has very well-organized lectures and follows the plan of her syllabus very well.
She makes her expectations clear and material that is difficult understandable and easy to grasp.
Fun, entertaining lectures. Great personality, sense of humor, and ability to connect with students. Knowledgeable and cares about students and their success. Makes information easy to learn by being exposed to it multiple times in different formats. You know what to expect for exams from learning objectives.
Dr. Rhodes is one of the best professors I have had here at southern! She is caring and very passionate about making sure students succeed and understand the material. I would definitely recommend taking her summer micro class- it was very informative and interesting while also being low stress. I felt like I learned so much!
Very down to earth professor. Believe could have gotten better grade if taken over 16 weeks. However great professionalism and communication.
Love this teacher, she is so fun! Great teacher and has good class set up.
Dr.Rhodes has been the best professor I have had so far. Her exams are heavily built around her lectures and learning objectives she provides. Her lectures are always engaging, you laugh every lecture, and she relates the subjects to our everyday lives. I had her for both Immunology and Molecular Cell and I can not recommend her enough.
Go to class and study well. Do the learning objectives and you'll be fine.
One of the best professors ever, can't recommend her enough. Very clear grading criteria and exams are based directly on the PPTs. Good grades are not hard if you just try. Showing up to lectures will tell you everything you need. Mol cell bio is a hard class but she makes it easier. Also very funny and very caring. Will respond to emails quickly.
Great professor, makes it easy to prepare for each test and gives you everything you need to get a good grade.
Dr. Rhodes is a great professor. I highly recommend taking her class. She keeps students engaged and helps students learn and understand things.
Dr. Rhodes is a very engaging lecturer, and she is always excited to teach, which makes the class fun. There are a lot of tests in the class, but she provides learning objectives, which have majority of the information that will be on the test. She gives extra credit opportunities and there's lots of points available besides tests.
There are a lot of small assignments, but they are all manageable and actually pertain to the class. Dr. Rhodes makes it very clear what information is pertinent to the class and what to study to succeed.
She was a great teacher! Her class was very organized and informative!
Dr. Rhodes was the best teacher I have ever had. She is funny, personal, and makes you feel welcome. She made it fun to go to class. I felt like if I watched lectures online like she offers I would not have had such a great time in her class.
I always felt very prepared for the exams. The learning objectives followed the tests very well, and Dr. Rhodes did a great job of making those clear.
- The lectures were made available online so you didn't have to show up in person. - Gave study guides that explained exactly what would be on the test. - Made lectures funny so that they were not as terrible as they could have been. - Provides several extra credit opportunities.
Look, anyone who hates on Dr. Rhodes must just be petty about a low grade. She is enthusiastic about each subject she teaches, she is inspiring, and she will HELP YOU outside of class. Microbio is a lot of information, if you do not take the time to study and put the work in you will fail. She does everything in her power to help though. LOVE HER.
Dr. Rhodes is super enthusiastic when it comes to her lectures and the subject she is teaching. She is always willing to help outside of class and is very accommodating. The content was difficult for me and I did feel that there were a lot of "all or none" questions rather than partial credit which I struggled with but overall a good experience!
Dr. Rhodes was an excellent professor. I enjoyed having in Microbiology. The class was enjoyable so were the labs. Pay attention in class and do the learning objectives and the test will be good.
Dr. Rhodes is a very smart teacher AND knows how to pass the information on to students. She cares about her students and she makes lecture fun! Her exams are EXAMS not tests, but they're not horrible and she lays out learning objectives at the beginning of semester. Lab is just extremely interesting; she has it worked out nicely.
She is the nicest teacher. She invites everyone to her office where she has a couch, candy, and it smells good. She will respond to your emails and doesn't require you to come to class. She records each lecture & sends them to you and you just have to do your understanding checks every other day. She does offer extra credit opportunities as well.
Really enjoyed this course. She is by far one of my favorite teachers I've had at this university.
Interesting course. Fill out the learning objectives in depth and you'll be fine. Dr. Rhodes wants her students to succeed and is very good at explaining topics and explaining in a different way that sticks in your mind. Also, a decent amount of extra credit is given which is very helpful.
Dr. Rhodes is a great professor and wants all of her students to be successful in her classes. If you show up to class and fill out the learning objectives in depth and study them for the exams you will do just fine in this class. Her labs are always fun and very interesting. She also does a few extra credit opportunities that help you in the class
Dr. Rhodes is extremely passionate about the material she is teaching. Although some of the material went right over my head and was hard for me to grasp, extra credit opportunities are provided. The lab and lecture exams are very similar and laid out exactly the same. Lab exams are nothing like a lab exam in an A&P class though ;)
Dr. Rhodes knows her stuff. You do need to attend class as filling out & studying her objectives will help a lot. She wants her students to succeed and teaches in a way that is easy for everyone to understand.
I think she did a great job teaching Microbio, she gives learning objectives that you can fill out (or don't, but they are a huge help) that the exams are based on, making studying for the exams easier. Would take this class again from her!
Took Microbiology with Dr. Rhodes. Professor is amazing she makes it easy to understand and if you dont understand she explains it again. If not she has open door policy on her office hours. Very sweet and very knowledgeable on her science.100% recommend. If I had to retake or if she gave another science classes I needed I would take her again!
Dr. Rhodes is a great professor to take for a microbiology course since she explains everything in a greatly manner and provides a study guide for one to look over and succeed in this course. It is all about studying and providing well enough information on the learning objectives for one to study. Overall, this course was great to take and succeed
Dr. Rhodes is an amazing professor. She is not only clearly very knowledgeable about the information she teaches but she also finds ways to make it entertaining. She interacts with her students and shows how she cares about each person as in individual. She clearly explains what she wants students to know for tests. I learn a lot in her classes.
If you can take a class with Dr. Rhodes, do it. She makes lectures fun and interesting and is super understanding about students outside classes and lives.
Very fun and makes learning very interesting
She was an excellent teacher. There is just alot of material to learn in the class. You will enjoy her labs. Overall 10/10 professor.
I loved Dr. Rhodes for immunology. She truly cares about students not only just learning the information but also understanding it. I will be taking virology with her as well next semester!
Dr. Rhodes is an excellent professor. She really cares about her students and finds ways to learn complex information better. I like how she reviews the concepts from the previous class before explaining the next topic. Her learning objectives are really helpful when studying for exams. Overall, I really enjoyed her class.
Dr. Rhodes was extremely invested in the class, not only academically, but mentally as she was very flexible with exams so students wouldn't have to suffer coming to class on a Monday and taking not only an immune exam, but also a genetics exam. I appreciate her a lot.
If you use the learning objectives she gives you and are thorough filling them out, there should be no reason not to get the grade you want. Tests are based exactly on them, so use them to your advantage.
Dr. Rhodes is an amazing professor. I've had her for several classes and I've always enjoyed having her as a professor. She really works well with students and other class exams to make sure you won't have the exams on the same day. She uses learning objectives and power points and you shouldn't have any surprises when exam day comes.
Dr.Rhodes is amazing!! If I could take all of my classes with her I would. She is so funny, and is very passionate about what she teaches. She cares about her job and her students! She is very quick to return an email and she is always available to meet in her office if you have to make up a test or if you have questions. Love her!!
Dr. Rhodes is a phenomenal professor! In fact, she could teach a masterclass to the rest of the department on the art of being an educator. She's always willing to lend a guiding hand and is very organized with her content. Her learning objectives are great exam guides and give you an idea of what questions to expect come test day.
Dr. Rhodes is a very balanced professor. Tests are well-balanced with quizzes and assignments, lecture information is well-balanced with the material on the slides, and difficult course content is balanced by Dr. Rhodes accessibility and straightforward lecture style. She is highly organized but still very gracious. Highly recommend this class
Dr. Rhodes lectures toward her exams. I found the learning objectives very helpful. While I learned a lot in this class I would say it is one of the hardest ones I've ever taken. This is due to the amount of exams and how fast-paced the class is. Overall, Dr. Rhodes is an amazing teacher.
Dr. Rhodes isn't a pushover, but she isn't too hard on you either. She gives us access to every PowerPoint/lecture used in class and provides an in-depth study guide that can be filled out during lectures. If you fill out the study guide well and use it to study, you should be able to ace every test or at least come close. Dr Rhodes is a great prof
Dr. Rhodes is a very good professor especially for the difficult classes she teaches. She makes it manageable and attainable! I would definitely recommend her class to peers.
Great professor!
Dr. Rhodes is a great teacher! I like that she has an open door policy. She is always willing to help. She boosts your confidence. As long as you follow along and pay attention to lecture you should do fine.
I like how she has an open door policy and is willing to help her students succeed. She offers study guides that follows along with her lectures, which getting professor's that provide that are few and far between it seems. If you fill out the study guides and really study them you should do just fine in the class.
AWESOME professor. Yes, the class is hard, its Microbiology. Dr. Rhodes is a phenomenal teacher though. Always makes it interesting and is super sweet. if you ever need anything she responds to emails crazy fast and is always open to meet outside of class. 10/10 professor.
This is my second semester having Dr. Rhodes and I definitely enjoyed Microbiology more then Molecular, but that's just personal preference. She truly cares about the content she teaches and that students are understanding and not left behind. The labs are very interactive and interesting!
This professor makes class very enjoyable, I highly recommend her to others.
Dr. Rhodes truly wants you to do well, but you have to put in the work on the learning objectives. Going to class is super important and she takes attendance in a fun way. She is also super understanding IF YOU COMMUNICATE WITH HER. Don't be afraid to ask for help because she will help you.
This is my second time taking a class from Dr. Rhodes, and I would take another class from her if I could. The content she teaches is tough, but she will do everything she can to help you learn it. I cannot say enough awesome things about her, and I would highly recommend her as a professor!
Very personable professor! One of my favorites!
Awesome person and awesome teacher! I enjoyed the class even though I am not huge on microbiology.
She is truly one of the best teacher at Missouri Southern. I had a hard time in her class, but she was very helpful in helping me finish strong.
Highly recomended taking Dr.Rhodes class, she is one very funny and keeps lectures and labs entertaining, as well as explains information very clearly and makes it easy to understand. She also is available outside of office hours and is very welcoming when going to her office, it also very cute in there. Overall she has been my favorite professor.
The coursework can be a bit difficult, but Rhodes makes sure she hits all the major points in order to be well-prepared for the lecture tests. She is definitely a professor who is invested in her students!
She is very knowledgeable about the subject matter. She had a well laid out course plan. She made it very clear that she was open for anybody could ask for help, even after class.
She gives you learning objectives to fill out and she makes the test from the learning objectives, so if you fill those out and study them you will be fine
Dr. Rhodes is by far my favorite professor in the biology department! She is extremely passionate about her lectures, and she loves helping students. I go to her all the time outside of class for help and she never disappoints. Molecular is content-heavy, and her exams are not easy. However, not impossible! Study hard and ask for help!
Amazing teacher had her for both micro and molecular. 10/10 best professor at Southern.
This is an amazing professor, this was my first time taking a course by her through MSSU and it was amazing. She made everything we did and learn fun.
I really enjoyed having this professor. Dr. Rhodes does a really good job of helping you out and answering all of your questions.
Important to pay attention and read through PowerPoints. An easy course if you stay on top of things.
Dr.Rhodes is an amazing professor, this is the second class I have taken with her. I wish she taught all the classes. She helps students if they need help and her labs are actually fun. Her tests can be tough sometimes but if you do the learning objectives and study them you will at least pass the exams.
Do the learning objectives!!!!! They really help.
Dr. Rhodes is a very great professor and is always willing to help and answer questions outside of class. Definitely do the learning objectives as they help a lot.
I absolutely love Dr. Rhodes.
Dr. Rhodes has been a great professor to have. She has made the material engaging and I would gladly take another class with her.

This is a teacher that I would take classes with again.
She is a truly phenomenal professor who is fair and reasonable. I have loved every course I have taken with her so far, and I truly recommend her as a professor!
Dr. Rhodes explains concepts throughly and ensures that students are keeping up with the material.
Great teacher. Pick her
Great Professor! She really cares for her students and is quick to respond to emails. Chapter objectives are a great study tool!
Dr. Rhodes truly makes this course exceptional. She makes her lab extremely informative and fun while not making lab hours long. Her online lectures are easy to follow along with and her tests very much follow the topics she stresses on understanding. The class is well structured and organized. I definitely recommend taking her.
I have loved every class I've taken with Dr. Rhodes, and she really is an amazing professor. She genuinely cares for each of her students and does her absolute best to help anyone struggling. All of her teaching is clear, concise, and intriguing. I recommend her to anyone looking to take biology classes at MSSU.
She is very quick at responding and overall is willing to help!
Dr. Rhodes is a great professor. She makes her classes interesting, and the material is easy to understand since it connects directly to the labs.
Great class! Dr. Rhodes is a quick marker and always there if you need help. She showed us how even the smallest things have an impact on our everyday class.
Dr. Rhodes is a great professor, and one of my favorites I have taken through MSSU. She really knows her stuff and keeps labs/lectures interesting and inviting!
Very cool teacher, but very crammed into an 8 week summer semester!!! hard having a test every week but good material and taught well just time crunching.
Dr. Rhodes knows a lot about microbes. She's clearly an expert in microbiology and is very good at making you an expert too. I took her class online and she was very accommodating whenever I needed to take an exam on a different day or if I didn't understand the material. Her exams are hard though, beware and study like your life depends on it.
Great professor, summer class is fast paced
She is honestly the best professor at MOSO. I know people have pushed off classes for semesters to take it with her. Creative lectures embedded with jokes and beautiful slideshows. Follow the learning objectives and you shouldn't receive lower than an A on any exam. The class itself is difficult but she makes it fun and easier to learn. Love her!
She is a great professor and I would love to take her again. Her teaching style is very specific but also she tells you exactly what you need to know through the learning objectives. Stay ahead on studying and you'll be fine. Over summer you have an exam every week pretty much so its fast paced but like I said very clear on what you need to know.
Very on top of her stuff, just be good at filtering her slides; they can be rather long.
Dr. Rhodes is very helpful and answers questions and emails really well. I recommend doing the learning objectives as they are super useful for understanding the concepts.
I absolutely love her.
Dr. Rhodes is always open to meeting outside of class which is great if you are struggling with the content. She is also very supportive and cares for her students.
Rhodes is a fantastic professor who makes the course material engaging. While the work can be challenging, she provides clear guidance and is always willing to help. unstuckstudy ai was a game-changer for my study prep.
I really enjoyed having Dr. Rhodes as a professor. This class I would say is pretty test heavy, with 6 lecture exams and 2 lab exams, so prepare to be studying almost every week for one of Dr. Rhode's exams. Other than that, I thought Dr. Rhodes was very caring and accommodating for her students and I felt I was able to learn a lot!
Great professor! She is very organized and gives you all the material you need to study for her test. She even gives outlined study guides for you to fill out to help study. I always fill them out during lectures. Very down to earth and fun.
Dr. Rhodes made a class I had been dreading one of my favorites. She clearly enjoys the subject matter and does well at explaining difficult concepts. She makes the class relatable to real world experiences and uses. So glad I got to take this class!
Overall I really enjoyed this class and having Dr. Rhodes as a professor. It is pretty test heavy, with 6 lecture exams and 8 lab exams, but it is manageable. Dr. Rhodes is very caring and accommodating for her students and that's something I really appreciate!
Dr. Rhodes is an excellent professor! She is always there when help is needed, her lectures are interesting and always have fun little pictures that put a smile on my face. She offers learning objectives to help prepare for tests like a study guide, which are useful but it can be easy to fall behind so fill them out as you go. Overall, the best!
Dr. Rhodes' teaching style was very clear and understandable. Along with amazing professionalism, Dr. Rhodes has an answer for any questions her students may have and she is very kind with explanations!
I loved Dr. Rhodes! This was one of my favorite Bio classes I have ever taken. Her lectures are entertaining. Show up and pay attention and you will be just fine. :)
Dr. Rhodes tried to make all of the material fun to learn about even when that was not the easiest thing to do. If you asked her a question she would explain it to you until you completely understood, even if that did take a while. She was also available after class quite often which is very nice for students who have busy lives!
Dr. Rhodes is very good at explaining things when you don't understand them. She is also available outside of class which is great for those with busy schedules! The class has a lot of exams so prepare for a lot of studying!
Dr. Rhodes is a great professor that cares for each student and how they do. The lectures were straight forward with not a lot of information shared that couldn't be found on the lecture slides. Her exams pull information straight from the lectures and the information found in them. I would definitely take Dr. Rhodes for any future classes!
Dr Rhodes is awesome! She gives really good lectures that are both funny and informative. Labs are efficient and never run over or make you feel rushed to get finished. The homework quizzes are a great way to help the info from the lecture sink in that much better, and it's nice that there's no pressure to get 100% on them. Excellent professor!
Dr. Rhodes is one of the best biology professors that I have ever had! She is passionate about the content that she teaches. She is additionally great at explaining topics clearly and is always willing to answer questions when they arise. Dr. Rhodes is an excellent instructor!
Dr. Rhodes is a great professor and would recommend anyone take her if given the opportunity. Gen. and Medical Micro was a tough course but not impossible. Attendance is not mandatory but success is strongly correlated to attendance IMO. Course work was interesting and related strongly to the course description.
Dr. Rhodes was a great professor! Unfortunately, as a transfer student, my Microbiology class wouldn't transfer forcing me to retake it. I was really upset, however, taking it with her was awesome and I'm glad I did. She is a great professor and is always willing to help!
Wish I showed up more it was a good class learned a lot it was good
Dr. Rhodes was a good professor. It was kind of hard to receive help from her because she tends to fall back and ask you questions rather than answering and helping with yours. Sometimes I felt like she would push me away quickly when I was trying to talk to her. Overall her class was a good class and she was a good professor.
Dr. Rhodes is the kindest, most fun, and respectable professor! You can tell she cares about each one of her students AND about what she is teaching you. She has fun, interactive lectures that keep you engaged. She also gives multiple forms of homework and pre-lab assignments that help buffer your grade, but they also give you a way to study. Love!
Dr. Rhodes is a great professor! She's very accessible, tech-savvy, and makes lectures fun with jokes and interesting facts. The class is test-heavy but fair, with curved exams and helpful study guides. The lab is hands-on and enjoyable, and she offers extra credit too!
Dr Rhode's micro class covers a lot of useful material for anyone going into a medical field. Even though the class covers a lot of content and is very information heavy she lectures in a way that makes it entertaining. She also has very clearly outlined expectations for what you need to study for exams which allows you to study very efficiently.
Long as you keep up on the learning objectives that Dr.Rhodes provides you'll get the grade you deserve.
Dr. Rhodes is funny and very helpful.
Dr. Rhodes is an amazing professor. She explains material very well and is always ready to help if you have questions! The tests are very straight forward if you put effort into studying which is very nice!
She creates well outlined learning objectives for each chapter that set up an easy foundation for Lecture and Lab Exams. Everything in this class is well outlined, and if you pay attention in class you will more than likely have a successful grade!
Good professor. One of the best i've ever taken
Dr. Rhodes made class very enjoyable. I never dreaded going to lecture because she kept it interesting and made it easy to follow along. She kept class exciting, and also created Learning Objectives that you can fill out during or after class. The learning objectives can be used as a study guide later for the exams. Beware, there's a lot of exams!!
Dr. Rhodes is an excellent professor to work with, both as a professor and as a human being. She makes every lecture into something interesting and answers questions gladly. She gives extra credit freely and gives students every opportunity to pass her classes, while still challenging them and helping them learn. Definitely take classes with her.
Lectures are informative, and great for any pre-health related student. Dr. Rhodes does a great job at helping students understand complex information by breaking things down and using humor or funny quips to help everyone remember key points. Her tests are a bit difficult, but if you listen and take good notes during lecture you'll be fine.
Attendance is not mandatory but is taken. Class starts on time, lecture heavy, at the end of every chapter theres a quiz. Before every test there is a case study. Records every lecture if you miss you can just watch it. Helps come up with fun and easy ways to remember stuff.
She is really engaging in lectures. She gives plenty of material to be successful in class and on tests. Although your attedance is not required, you should come to lecture. It will help you out for test prep.
Understands the content and is available to explain if you don't understand something.
Great professor who was very diligent and passionate about the information. She did her best to keep the content engaging when it could be boring. Make use of her office hours to ask questions and clarify things. The class is tough, and it takes a lot of time and effort outside of lectures, but everything is assigned with a purpose.
I would take this class again. Dr. Rhodes is good at answering any questions that a student may have in class. She also has accessible office hours through the week. The class has 6 lecture exams including a non-cumulative final. All lectures are recorded so you can look back on them or attend lecture virtually if you can't be in person.
Dr. Rhodes has been one of my favorite science teachers since I've been at MSSU. She makes sure you understand the material being learned and if you have questions she is very understanding and you can see that she wants to help you and make sure you understand the material.
Like having Ms. Frizzle as a college professor. Her passion for the subject matter is genuine and more contagious than the bacteria she has us working with. 10/10
Dr. Rhodes is amazing! She is very funny and kind and gets everyone engaged in lecture. She goes in depth and has great tips for memorization. I took microbiology and while it was very content and test heavy she made it manageable and fair.
The professor of this course makes sure you feel comfortable and aware of what is going on in class.
I took Microbiology with Professor Rhodes, and I really enjoyed the class. There are 6 exams for lecture, but the final is NOT cumulative!! Defiantly would take a course from her again because she made learning this topic a lot of fun. If you need help outside of class, she is almost always accessible, and you can tell she cares about students.
I took Microbiology with Dr. Rhodes and I have really liked this class! Dr. Rhodes is easy to get in touch with and really cares about her students. Her lectures are always really interesting and she makes sure to relate everything back to the real world. Go to class and study and you will be fine! I would definitely take this class again.
Overall the class was fun. It is very heavy weighted with lecture and lab. Your defiantly gonna need to study and work hard. She does give out extra credit which I loved. She is very good with responding back to emails and having plenty of time outside of class for questions. You can tell she really cares for her students and wants us to succeed.
Excellent lecturing skills with positivity! Be prepared to put forth a lot of work, but it is well worth it in the end! If I could take all of my classes with Dr. Rhodes, I would! One of the best professors I have ever had, and I always recommend her over any other professor on campus.
Awesome professor. Hard class, but if you work hard and study you'll do just fine. Dr. Rhodes explains things very well and even records the lectures for you to go back and listen to.
Dr. Rhodes is a great professor who makes hard concepts easy to understand.
Great personality and made coming to class fun. Really enjoyed this course and would gladly take again.
Provides really great study material via the learning objectives she provides with every lecture. Very friendly, funny, and down to earth
Dr. Rhodes was a delight to have as a professor; she cares about engaging the class in the material and uses real-world applications of the information. Overall, I loved this class, and I am planning to take immunology with her next semester.
Very easy going, fair, and has a great sense of humor! It's clear she chose the right profession.
Dr. Rhodes is an amazing professor who makes hard concepts easier to understand. This course is rigorous, but if you attend class, follow the learning objectives, and listen to her helpful tips, you will do great!
Excellent instructor. Very good at making complex topics understandable. Lectures are online if you miss anything. Very organized.
Dr. Rhodes does a great job at making the information fun for us to understand and frequently pulls a laugh out of the class. Her tests are based directly on the learning objectives but beware they are extremely hard. The tests are also worth 200 points each so they are basically the only thing that controls your grade.
Professor is very knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. Explains material clearly. There are quite a few lecture exams but professor prepares students well for each one and lets you know what material will be included on the exam.
Dr. Rhodes is a great professor and had very engaging lectures! She is great at answering questions and explaining concepts. Opposed to other courses she has taught, concepts must be understood and learning objectives cannot be memorized to do well on exams.
I took immunology and it was an amazing class. I learned a lot from lecture and other projects such as the case studies that are part of the class. I would recommend staying on top of lectures and going to class as it is pretty fast paced.
Dr. Rhodes is an AMAZING professor!!! She shows so much excitement in teaching students. She gives amazing study guides. You just need to show up and pay attention to her lectures!! Ask questions, she loves questions!!!
Dr. Rhodes is very knowledgeable and explains the course material very well. She prepares you for every exam by making learning objectives available that work perfectly as study guides. Lecture videos are also made available if a class was missed or for study use. It is very exam heavy with majority of your grade coming from exams.
I'll always take the opportunity to take a class with Dr.Rhodes. She always makes an effort to make the material exciting to learn.
Dr. Rhodes is super passionate so her lectures are really engaging. She has clear office hours and an open-door office policy. she offers extra credit as well. I would definitely take her class again.

Know the chapter objectives. If you understand these well then you will get and A in the class. Great professor and would recommend!
Dr. Rhodes was an amazing professor! You can tell that she really cares about microbiology and has a passion of teaching students this information.

Entirely engaged in the subject matter. Interest in the topic taught is always important especially for me and Dr. Rhoades is clearly incredibly invested in what she teaches. Wonderful.
Aside from her class being hard, she is a wonderful professor and will do anything to help you :)
Dr. Rhodes keeps you engaged and entertained in a professional manner. If learning something in lecture and then applying it hands-on in lab is how you learn, you'll excel in this Microbiology course. She is always more than willing to clarify and help. She brings lecture points to real world applications.
This is a great class taught by a great professor. It is challenging, but in the best way possible. I believe people with interest with this type of things or heading into medicine should take the class.
Dr. Rhodes is a passionate instructor whom is very engaging. She makes all of her lectures exciting which makes difficult material easier and more enjoyable to learn. This instructor provides many opportunities to gain assistance in understanding and is more than willing to help her students. She is one of my favorite instructors.

Thank you Dr. Rhodes for everything!
By far the best professor at Southern. She makes labs and lectures fun and interesting to be a part of. She makes a point to get to know you on a personal level. Her tests are exactly what you expect them to be. Would 100% recommend her and would take her again.
This class is difficult so it is important to put in the effort. Dr. Rhodes is a great professor who teaches well.
She is a great professor; however, the class is difficult. If you put in the work and study, you will get a good grade. Highly recommend this class!!
This is my second year of college, and Professor Rhodes has been the only instructor I've had up to this point who I can tell truly loves her job. She easily bonds with her students, is super funny, is very organized, teaches wonderfully, and has a passion for microbiology. I hope to someday be able to have a class with her as an instructor again.
Dr. Rhodes is best professor in the pre med department. She balances professionalism and understanding very well. Very fair grader.
This class was great but there a lot of long busy work assignments including essays to read and annotate. The exams are exactly like the study guides but make sure you pay attention in class as not all the answers are in the PowerPoints.
Dr. Rhodes is one of the few instructors that I have had the pleasure of meeting that truly enjoys the job that they do. If you pay attention and ask questions she will arm you with the knowledge you need to do well in her class. I cannot recommend taking a course from Dr. Rhodes enough.

10/10 would recommend
Dr. Rhodes is probably one of the best professors I have ever had. Although the class is difficult, she makes if fun and interesting. You can tell she loves her job, and she is always willing to help anyone.
Rhodes outlines exactly what information you need to know on her study guides. She also points out when information is clinically important, so pay attention to that, it will probably be brought up on the test. Go through the study guides and practice questions and actually understand the information and there will be no surprises on the tests.
Dr Rhodes does a really good job of presenting the subject material, and she is a professor that actually makes going to lecture worth it. She has fun and knows the material. With This class, you ought to be ready to work hard, as the material in general is pretty tough, but Dr. Rhodes is willing and able to help you, with plentiful office hours.
Dr. Rhodes is an amazing teacher. She really breaks down the information in a way that anyone can understand. The only thing is that there is A LOT of information that you need to know, but none of the information is hard. Just set time to the side to study and you should be fine. There are plenty of quizlets online that you can use.
Dr. Rhodes is one of the best teachers I have had at MSSU. I definitely would take her
Super great teacher! Would definitely take again.
She did well answering questions we had and making material make sense. I felt like the power points were wordy, often had unnecessary information. Her learning objectives are clear and a good study guide. The text book being mandatory is my only complaint, wasted money only to use it 2x for online labs that could have been done elsewhere.
Amazing professor, a lot of extra "busy" work.
Dr Rhodes is an amazing teacher, and I would 100% look to take more classes with her. This class had a lot of concepts we had to know for each test. However, through her providing the learning objectives, it was easy to study and be successful in her class. She also provides extra credit opportunities to boost your grade if needed.
She is very thorough and explains everything very clearly. She will give real world examples and fun scenarios. She genuinely cares about her students and wishes for them to succeed. AMAZING professor and I would recommend to anyone. I went in already thinking I would hate it, but I couldn't tell you how wrong I was!

I love this professor she takes complicated topics and turns them into fun things you remember, I didn't get the best grade but its on me for not being a good test taker not her fault at all.
I have nothing but positive feedback for Dr. Rhodes. Content is always engaging, applicable, and understandable. Lectures always hold my attention. Exams are difficult, but necessary material is always provided. Dr. Rhodes is consistently approachable and willing to help. Overall, her teaching style, organization, and dedication are commendable.
