He is deffinitely one of my favorite profesors i have had at UMASS! He really wants people to do well and works really hard to help students. The tests are not easy but they are fair. As long as you go to lecture you will be fine. He is a GREAT guy!
Aww Wilmore...What a nice guy. He is by far, one of the best professors I have had so far. He really wants students to understand the material and if you dont, he will try his best to help you. His tests arent bad at all, and hes a very fair grader. I definitely recommend his class!
WILMORE!! I LOVE THIS GUY!!!!! VERY VERY VERY helpful, smart, test arent bad at all. Very interesting, he loves what he does and knows his stuff. he has ALOT of cute stories :)! Guys take note..... He knows how to treat a woman.... a well raised Jamaican man! I recomend this class 100%!!!!!!!
Best professor I've had thus far. Good material, slides are awesome and the exams aren't too challenging. He also gave us an assignment adding 5 points to our overall grade. Take this class to get your bio gened out of the way!
Professor Webley is one of UMASS' finest. His lecture slides are professional and easy to understand. He is an excellent lecturer and is one of those professors who is passionate and earnest in his desire to teach others. The subject matter is interesting and although this class isn't a breeze Webley gives you all the necessary tools for success
excellent
Dr. Webley is a fantastic teacher. If people show up to class and follow the slides, it's difficult not to succeed. Any student who still needs to fill the BS requirement should definitely consider taking this course, it's incredibly relavent information, and a fabulous teacher doens't hurt!
He was a really nice guy, really easy to understand. show up to class, and listen to what he has to say, and you'll be just fine. he does reviews (helpful) and the tests aren't bad if you study for them... class was good.
I loved this class! You will learn so much, and the prof. is amazing. He's so helpful and you can tell he wants to be teaching. Just go to class and you will do fine. I highly recommend this class, it will really open your eyes.
Webley is very passionate about what he teaches and wants his students to succeed. the course material is very interesting, i'd recommend this class
EXTREMELY passionate about subject, and very helpful when it comes to extenuating circumstances, very accomodating. Good class, but requires paying attention. Tests can be a little hard, and grading can some a little unfair, but is balanced fairly in the end. I would recommend this class, excellent for a Gen-Ed.
Webley is the best professor I have ever had! If you are even considering taking this class DO IT. He's so intellegent and makes it so easy and interesting. I never opened the textbook once and I got an A.
MICROBIO 160 - I LOVED this class!! It is by far the best class I have ever taken. If Professor Webley taught any other undergraduate classes, I would take them all! He is the best professor I have ever had. He makes the material so clear and makes it so everyone can understand what he is talking about. I highly recommend this class to anyone.
best professor i ever had. loves what he teaches and makes the class interesting, other professors should sit in his class and learn from him. the name of the class seems scary but even if you suck at science, you will love this class...take it for a gen ed, its sooo worth it
is obviously an expert in his field, very personable, love the accent ;)
AMAZING! all his lectures are online, and if you go to class he gives you answers to the tests. best 3 out of 4 tests are your grade, and even gives 4 points extra credit to your final grade. very easy multiple choice tests if you go to class and read over the lectures. Plus an overall very nice guy that cares alot
He is the best prof I have ever had! He does absolutely everything he can to make the material easy to understand, and he's funny and interesting. He makes you want to go to class. I seriously love this guy!
No Comments
Great teacher, Very clear, interesting, and funny. I don't want to miss the class because I know I'll learn something intersting and have fun. A class really worth taking for everyone on campus!
Great professor! My only concern is that 3 tests and an optional final is not enough to base a grade on.There are many other classes this size in which attendance is taken, there are quizzes, some homework. I found it hard to stay on top of the material when there was not practice in between esp. as an English major.
VERY good classyou learn something new everyday, he is one of the best professors i have had yet here because he genuinely cares about the topic.the tests are hard but if you go to lectures and do the readings youll be fine and it pays off in the end. i recommend this course for anyone majoring in anything.
great teacher if you pay attention should be easy class
Amazing class and professor. Every lecture is posted online and all of his exams are based on them. I highly recommend going to class because it is so interesting but I'm sure you can get by without going. Extra credit and optional final is a chance to redeem yourself after bad grades. STUDY for exams, and go to all of the extra reviews. Love him!
he's AWSOME!!! Wilmore is the best professor i've had thus far. he's very passionate about this subject n wants nothing but the best for his students. he does everything in his power to make sure his students pass w/ good grades so if u fail u can't blame it on him.
Very Knowledgable. If you work hard, very hard you should be okay but he expects the best from you. As a result you will find you push yourself harder.
Wilmore was one of the greatest teachers i've ever had. Its a pretty tough class but if you're willing to here him out, he'll make everything easy to understand. A great gened filler and fun class to go to
GO TO CLASS!! It's interesting and Wilmore is awesome! TA's give away the questions from the exam that they think are hard, but Wilmore's probably already given the answer in class. Best class I've taken at UMASS...barely used the text book, optional final - TAKE IT!
If you somewhat understand science, this is a good class for you. If you dont get it at all, like me, you will struggle through it. I thought it woudl be interesting, but I fell asleep most of the time. I struggled to get a B. The only good thing is that he helps you a ton for the final.
two words: the man. Wilmore is extremely caring and puts so much effort into helping his students succeed on an educational and personal level. I highly highly recommend this class, or any class taught by him.
LOVE HIM. He is awesome. During Friday lectures he would give some exam questions word for word. He really made me interested in the class. I recommend him 100%. He is very dedicated and spends so much time preparing his lectures. He puts the lectures online, and you just print them out and bring them to class.
Awesome Teacher. Very passionate abou this work, very smart, keeps class interesting and makes you want to go to class. I enjoy showing up.
AWESOME class. its a lot of fun and really informative. It was my favorite by far this semester.
All I have to say is, that this was an awesome class. Professor Webley is an awesome professor who really cares about how well his students do in the class. I loved every minute of this class. He was by far the best professor I have had so far.
he's a GREAT teacher. yes you will prob fail the first test, but that only makes you work harder for the next ..three. he's real into what he teaches, he cares that you learn...go to class..read the slides study and youll be fine! dont let failing one test make you drop..STICK to it!
THIS GUY IS AMAZING! The class topic in interesting and you gain alot from it. MOST IMPORTANTLY:HE CARES! Thats something many teachers forget to do. Attendence is mandatory. He keeps you awake in class and he cracks the BEST jokes! This was one of the greatest class room experiences I ever had. I recommend this course to anyone who likes to learn.
If you can only take one class in college, Bio of Cancer & Aids with Professor Webley must be it. This is the most amazingly influential class. His lectures had the power to change the smoking habits of hundreds of students. Even with a class of 500 kids, he makes it seem like he cares about every individual just as if it were a 10 person class.
This class is great, I learned a ton, it is very interesting. There is a lot to learn, there are three tests and a final, and if you take all of them the lowest grade is dropped. He tries to make it so that everyone can succeed and get the grade they want and earned. This is a must take class, esp. for a gened
This guy is great. It's a tough class (immunology lab) but put the effort in. it's worth it. He IS an expert, and the TA's are cool too. Most enjoyable lab i've ever had. If you go to his office hours he's very helpful. Picks favorites, but luckily i was one of them
Most amazing teacher I have ever had. Very helpful during office hours or after class; however he is so clear and helpful during class, extra help is not needed! This was a great class!!
Amazing! He is the best GenEd teacher! The materials are very interesting and informative. Only 3 tests and Definitely go to his last review session! VERY easy class! DEFINITELY TAKE HIM for a non-lab science class!!!!!
He tries to be all helpful in class but when it comes down to it he is not a very good professor. His tests are not really related to the topics that he presents in class. He fails at his attempts to inspire learning and in return causes people to feel bad about their intelligence level.
this professor is awesome! best one ive had. If you dont get an A in the class youre doing something severely wrong.
Pretty clear, if you have any questions he would be happy to answer them. Very fair, willing to help those who want to learn.
love it!!!!!
He is the man. Easy class, has study sessions before test which are very helpful, an easy A if you attend classes, this class is a life changer.
Not only is this a great class to take, but the professor is like no other. He really does care about the students and wants everyone to learn. By far my favorite professor. Its an easy A if you go to his lectures and the review sessions before a test. I highly reccomend taking this class, you wont regret it.
This guy is great. He is funny , his class is interesting, and you don't need the books so long as you go to class and study the slides the night before the exams. Go to a couple study sessions and you will be fine. The class can be a little scary but it is information you should know regardless of your major. Definitely take this class!
Professor Webley is awesome! This class honestly changed my life.
Literally one of the best classes I have ever taken in my life. I absolutely love this man!!
Great teacher, always dressed fresh as hell. Go to the review sessions, you learn so much. Katir (TA) should be on House. The class was always interesting and I actually enjoyed going.
Great guy. Gives so many hints to what are on the exams. Interesting Material. Go to class. Easy A.
this class is amazing. although its not mandatory to go to class, it will really do you well. over the course of the classes he hints at exam questions and when it gets close to a test he actually gives out exam questions. you never leave the class confused because he makes sure that everything it perfectly clear in his slides and explanations.
Definitely one of the best classes here. Easy A, he does everything he can to make sure you learn the material and do really well. Barely read the book because the lectures are so much easier to understand and he explains it a lot better. Go to class - it's so much easier than studying from the book and he gives a lot of hints if you show up.
Awesome professor! One of the best classes I have ever taken. He had a passion for learning and wanted all to succeed. Would reccomend this class to anyone. If you go to the review sessions, you are all set.
Great professor. Definitely loves what he teaches and does everything he can to make sure you get an A. Go to class and attend all of the review sessions and you will definitely do well. Never really used the textbook, but the AIDS book he wrote was pretty good. Also gives extra credit, so make sure you do that to add to your grade as well.
Professor Webley genuinely wants students to learn the material and does everything in his power to help you get a good great on test. He hints at all questions on test and I never even bought the book. Makes class interesting and easy. Easy A as long as you go to the review sessions
Awesome class. Webley has a passion for this subject and therefore wants everyone in his class to do well and understand the information.
Great class, awesome professor! Not too much biology. He's really nice & helpful if you go to his office hours. Go to class - lectures are interesting & he shows videos that are on the exam. He gives exact exam questions in class with the answers. Go to the review sessions - he gives you every exam question with every answer! It was an easy A.
This teacher was great!! He brought his own passion to the class that made you interested in the class. I absolutely recommend him
Great Teacher I learned a lot about cancer and AIDS. This guy has a passion for teaching and his lectures are really understandable. Go to class and pay attention, show up to the review sessions and you'll get an A
Amazing teacher.
Incredibly inspirational teacher. Professor Webley has an obvious passion for cancer and aids. He is very knowledgeable in both areas and he makes the class fun and interesting. Any class with him is worth it!
Wilmore Webley is a God. Best class ever, just make sure you go to class and the review sessions and there is no reason you shouldn't get an A. Also, the information is actually interesting so it is nice to listen to his lectures.
This is definitely a great class. The professor is extremely smart and he wants his students to do well. Definitely take this class it will change your life
Professor Webley cares a lot about the subject matter and makes it very easy to learn. He makes you actually want to come to class so you don't miss anything.
Best class I have ever taken, hands down. He's an incredible professor, truly inspirational. Although I've always been interested in cancer and AIDS, this class provided me with more knowledge than I could have asked for, and it was presented in an incredibly easy-to-understand manner. TAKE THIS CLASS
Best Professor ever at Umass, you will learn so much in this class, and some of it will truly be life changing. I would recommend this class to everyone! Go to class and print out the lectures before, you will do great! Review sessions are very helpful. He truly wants you to succeed. Defiantly take this class!!
Professor Webley is the best! He is an amazing professor and is more concerned with you understanding the material rather than finishing his lectures. He is a really nice guy as well and he is so passionate about what he teaches. This class really will change your life! Such a cool guy! You will learn a lot in this class with him as the professor.
Will is a great guy. The first two exams are tough, but he is extremely helpful in the reviews. Go to them!! Easy A.
WILMORE WEBLEY IS AMAZING. TAKE THE CLASS.
Great teacher, always clear and helpful. Really interesting class, totally worth taking! Most interesting course I've taken at UMass, never dull!
He is the best professor that I've ever had. He cares about the students and he's passionate to teach to everything. It is a life changing class, i really learnt a lot. A MUST TAKE CLASS!!!!
AMAZING! he is so intelligent and really cares about his students.
very intelligent, and funny. class is entertaining, sunday night reviews sessions were absolutely incredible.
He is an excellent teacher. I really recommend taking this class, you will learn a lot, and it's not too hard.
Best professor I've had so far at UMASS.
If the class didn't understand something the prof. would go back over it to make sure that we did. That was very helpful.
Wonderful! very interested in helping students learn. Take this class... it will probably change your life!
awesome class, prof. webley is probably the best overall prof. i have had so far. take the class very interesting
very good, will tell you the answers for the exams the day before so u can get an A. just go to the class its interesting and you can actually learn things. Take The Class!!!
Professor Webley is extremly passionate about what he teachs. Take the class, it will change you're life without having to work to do so. No homework, just listen to lectures and you'll absorb the info.
You know when you get that science or math teacher that has no idea why the class doesn't "get it" and has no clue as to explain? Well, Prof. Webley isn't like that. I can tell that he really knows a lot about the material he's teaching but is capable of explaining the basics in a clear way. He's just a really good teacher. Also he has a nice bum.
Micro Bio 160....best class...loved him....awesome teacher really helpful...makes class interesting...exams not hard if you go to the review sessions....would recommend this class to anyone
This is one of the best classes you will ever take. He gives you every opportunity to get and A and his reviews are really helpful so GO TO THEM ALL!
Very clear, enthusiastic, helpful teacher.
Wilmore is the man! He actually wants you to learn not just to be tested. This is one of the best classes ever! TAKE THIS MAN'S COURSE!
I hate bio, i'm a math person, but i LOVED this class. Professor Webley obviously loves what he does and you can't ask for more from a teacher. Whenever i would go to class, i would just feel this great vibe and just feel great. If i could take another GenEd class with him i would in a second!! Definitely take this class!!
to the comment below-considering HIV acquired through unprotected sex is a major route of transmission, i'd say its probably a good thing he spent so much time on the topic considering half the class is about AIDS. ANYWAYS this man is a genious and he is willing to teach everyone. take this class, you will not regret it. best prof ive ever had.
This professor is awesome! He's very helpful and you actually learn the material in his class. He's also real funny and entertaining! If you go to the exam review sessions you won't be disappointed! They REALLY help!
Great Class, Really Helpful, Easy to get a good grade if you attend lectures
Good passionate Teacher with mostly fair methods.
One of the best classes i ever took. The professor was very helpful and i ended pullin up my grade from a D to an A.
He teaches so you learn the material. He really wants you to know it for you own sake, not just for a class. There was about a month where he was very preachy about his views on smoking, His tests are easy if you go to the review sessions the day before because he gives all the answers. Boring at times but useful information. Lectures are online
By far one of the best professors I have had. I would highly recommend this or any other class he teaches to anyone else.
While my grade is not going to be where I would have liked/needed it to be. Dr. Webley is a professor who cares about his students and their lives. I recommend going to speak to him, hes not one of those professors who puts you down or does not care(I have had them). Wish I had him as a freshman or sophmore. Take this class.
Professor Webley was a great instructor. The Microbiology Study of Cancer and Aids class was my best class, thanks to Professor Webley. He is a great teacher, very efficient, and well spoken. he has a great interest in his job, which makes his classes very enjoyable.
This was a great course! The lectures were very informative and you walk away with a lot of interesting, important information. The tests are simple if you go to the review sessions and pay attention to what he highlights in the lectures. But mainly, you'll do well because the class is interesting.
Awesome! This guy cares about his students like no other. He is an awesome teacher, inspires a lot of interest in the matter and yet never forces you to attend or be interested or anything. You can get an A in his class without ever even going to class. JUST REMEMBER TO GO TO HIS PRE-EXAM REVIEWS THOUGH!!
Microbiology of cancer and aids was one of the best remembered classes in my college career! he was an amazing teacher and i didnt even mind going to class! AMAZINGLY caring prof and really wanted us to enjoy the class as well as learn a lot from it. ill never forget helicobactor pylori ;)
Absolutely loved this class and Webley. One of the only courses I've ever taken in my life where I actually remembered and could take so much knowledge gained from the course and apply it to daily life. You never have to go to class but you should since the lectures are always interesting and he makes them entertaining. He cares about his students!
Very nice guy, and interesting class!
Wilmore is a great guy. He wants everyone to do well. Holds great review sessions, and presents the information clearly in class. It's still not a very easy class, but if you attend and pay attention you should get a B with no problem, and an A if you study well. Interesting class too, definitely recommend.
There are 3 tests and an optional final along with several really easy writing assignments. Class is relatively easy if you attend all the classes and review sessions. You do have to study for the tests and they can be hard if you don't go to class. It's all about the effort you put into it and that's what Wilmore's all about. Really nice guy.
Fantastic professor. Truly knows his stuff and wants to help his students in more ways than the obvious.
I LOVED this class! It was so interesting and the professor is really entertaining! It also was not hard to pass at all! Go to class, do your readings/assignments (they're never that hard or long), and go to the review sessions and you should have an easy A.
Fantastic teacher! Love him! He really wants to teach his students, and wants them to do well. Review sessions for tests are helpful. I wish he taught another class so I could have him again!
Easily thr best professor at UMASS. He really knows his stuff and shows an incredible interest in the lives of his students. Do the assignments and attend study sessions before the exams and you will do fine! You'll love having him as a professor!
My favorite professor and favorite class! If you attend all lectures and review sessions, you will get an A! He is very interested in helping students understand the material. He is extremely smart and very interesting. Lecture power points are also available online!
Wilmore is an outstanding professor. If you have the chance to take his class, definitely do it! He truly cares about his students and tries to help everyone succeed. He's funny and a great lecturer.
Great class and great professor! Really interesting subject matter. He really cares about the students and wants them to do well. Attendance is not required but I guarantee you will go to every class anyway. Take this class!!
Great teacher! If you go to class you will do well on the tests, if you need a Gen Ed i highly recommend this class!
By all accounts, a fantastic professor. You can really tell he loves what he does, and he does it very well. Uses class time better than any other professor I've had so far, and has a great rapport with his students. Tests are fair, though the questions related to cancer/AIDS statistics can be quite frustrating.
One of the nicest guys you will ever meet. Has students best interests in mind. Wants to see you succeed. He is really funny and makes the class very interesting!
This is such a great class, you learn so much and it's fun and interesting. Webley really cares about his students and wants you to do the best in his class. Take this class you'll not only get a good grade but you'll learn so much!!
He's nice and very passionate about the subject. But his tests are very annoying as they try to trick you. So for someone who isn't a science guy this is not the ideal gened class. I definitely had some trouble in this class.
BEST PROFESSOR ON CAMPUS! Webley is an amazing man with a strong passion for what he does. The class is very interesting (you'll actually enjoy going to class). If you make an effort in class you cannot leave without an A! Webley is extremely friendly and tries to get to know his students. You will not regret taking this course!
Awesome professor. Explains everything really clearly, grades fairly, and tries to help students and keep them interested as much as possible. I never missed a lecture because I liked the class so much.
He is an amazing professor. So intelligent and really cares about the subject matter and his students. Take this class for a gen-ed! It will change your life!
Awesome proffesor! He loves what he teaches and he gives so many opportunitys for students to get good grades. His lectures are very interesting and he is easy to understand! One of the best professors iv ever had! Take this class!
He is very passionate about the class. This class is not very hard if you go to class and study the slides. He makes it easy to do well.
Really easy class especially if you have the tests from semester's prior. If you study those, they are nearly identical to the test you will get. Homework load is light. Interesting class and Wilmore's got jokes!
He is an amazing teacher. He is very passionate about what he teaches. he is absolutely brilliant. Homework is very minimum. The tests however are extremely hard and require extensive studying. Overall it is definitely a class worth taking
This class can be challenging, it involves a lot of memorization but honestly Prof. Webley is one of the smartest people ever. Not only did he write one of the textbooks we use, but his power points are filled with useful pictures and diagrams. Study hard for the tests and do the hw and you'll get a good grade. Loved this class and great professor
Wilmore Webley's awesome! Microbio of Cancer and AIDS taught me a lot. He's really easy to follow in class but since all the lectures are online, you don't have to go regularly. Best GenEd class!
Best teacher I have ever had. Very clear in his explanations and really cares that everybody understands the concepts. TA's had the best review sessions I've been to and do a really good job. Best Gen Ed class
Excellent class and brilliant professor. Although attendance isn't mandatory, this class is worth going to. Extremely interesting and not a difficult course. Fulfills a GenEd requirement. If you don't take this course at UMass you're truly missing out.
His lectures are extremely boring and his tests are always trying to trick you. I would not recommend this class I struggled all semester to get a decent grade.
This is honestly the best class you could ever take. I went in knowing absolutely nothing about cancer and I am leaving it as practically an expert. It is very interesting because the topic relates to every persons own life, and Webley clearly shows passion for what he teaches. Class is not mandatory but is always fun to go to. He's the best!
Wilmore Webley is an awesome guy. He give you all the information that will be on each exam, and even gives answers to specific exam questions. I highly suggest going to class. Awesome teacher, awesome guy. Loved him and this class was very interesting
Best professor ever. Loves teaching the class and is very helpful. The tests can be hard if you don't study but he really wants you to do well and tells you exactly what will be on it. Very interesting class.
This was one of the best classes I have taken at umass. He is also an amazing professor and really has a passion for what he teaches. It's very eye opening and I recommend this class 100%
Attend class. Honestly, biggest mistake of mine was missing class. He posts all lectures online, check those out if you do end up missing class. There is a heavy dependance on the online part of the class, problems can happen there.
He's honestly an amazing professor. He explains everything really well and cares a lot about you actually leaving the class having learned something. The tests aren't a joke though so go to the review sessions and class.
Great Professor! Just go to class and the review sessions and you will do well.
this class was wicked interesting, Prof Webley was informative and really funny. Deff my best class so far, take it!
Prof. Webley really knows his stuff- he's extremely smart and very passionate about what he teaches. The material is difficult and so are the tests, but you will learn A LOT. 3 tests and an optional final with a few small assignments. It's a very interesting class but you have to be ready to work hard for your grade. I'm glad I took the class.
Interesting class, really nice guy, captivating lectures. I don't know what I'm going to do next semester without my weekly dose of Wilmore Webley.
Professor Webley is an amazing professor! Genuinely interested in helping students do well. He's really funny too. Tests are hard but manageable if you go to lectures and take review sessions seriously. Definitely worth taking!
Best professor i ever had hands down. lectures arent mandatory but so interesting you dont wanna miss it. tests arent hard if you attend class. homeworks are necessary for good grade, and super easy. Definitely recommend this course
Professor Webley is amazing. I absolutely adored this class; I loved coming to class each day. He has such a strong passion for the subject and he passes that onto the students. Three 50-question multiple choice exams and an optional final, and about 5 small writing assignments. The TA's were great and I loved this class! Definitely take it!
Extremely good teacher, passionate about the subject and does a good job at keeping students attention. I went to every lecture and got an A.. Tests are very difficult though, everything else is easy about the class.
if you do not have interest in micro or a strong background in biology the class WILL be hard. i attended every single lecture and still struggled on the first exam. was able to get a B in the class after study 10 hours each for last tests. was the hardest class i ever taken. the professor speaks as if you 100% know biology.
I LOVE WILMORE WEBLEY!!!!!!
I took microbiology of cancer and aids last semester. Webley was nice enough, and very very helpful with the final exam, but can be very tricky on his other tests with his wording of the questions. It messed me up more than once on tests. Also make sure to get down those notes in class as best you can! The man talks very fast.
Awesome teacher!
Hands down the best professor I had while at UMass. Webley is truly invested and passionate about his work and helping others. I never had an issue with going to class, in fact, I would be upset if I had to miss it! Do yourself a favor and take this course... Get to know him. And be inspired to make positive changes in your life and that of others.
Dr. Webley is very intelligent and very good at getting information across. He always happily answers any questions you may have and will set aside time to talk to you about the subject, whether it's directly related to the coursework or not. All in all, best professor I've had since starting college. Don't be fooled though, the material isn't easy
Webley is a tough grader but the class is so incredibly interesting you'll actually want to pay attention in lecture and study. Grades consist of exams, case studies and online quizzes. There is an extra credit quiz at the end of the semester so there are plenty of opportunities to bring your grade up!
Love Webley as a person, but this is a 100 level course. I'm a senior bio major, and I think this is class is way too hard, especially for freshman with a light science background. I was thrown off at how difficult the first exam was, and I honestly really studied for it! 65 average I think is what he said, which is horrible. yikes.
I took this as a Bio Gen Ed and for an Intro Microbio class this is hard. Genera Education requirements should not be this hard. The first exam was surprisingly really hard, the average was a 63. His expectations are way too high for this class. Exams are 80% of your grade. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!
Took this class for a Biological Science Gened, and attended every lecture and review session and found the exam ridiculously hard. Coming from taking several Bio classes prior, I find the content he is testing too be at much too high a level for an introductory course. When the class average on the first exam was a 63 he didn't curve.
Webley is an extremely good professor, one of the best I've ever had. I learned a lot in his portion of the class, and he was very understanding when it came to extenuating circumstances concerning how I was doing in the class. He cares about his students and gives exam questions to those that come to class as a thank you for attendance. Wonderful!
Webley is tough but truly cares about microbiology and his students. The class was much more difficult than I expected it to be so showing up to class is necessary even though he doesn't check attendance. He is soft spoken and very passionate, and also very accommodating, but don't expect to get a good grade without putting in effort and studying!
Amazing professor. If you are on the fence about taking his class, TAKE IT. You will not be dissapointred. You get out of this course what you put in but its an amazing course.
Amazing class, and amazing professor. I learned so much over the course of the semester, and I had fun doing so. Would absolutely take again.
Great guy and amazing teacher. Extremely insightful and intelligent
This is the most genuine and caring professor I have ever met in my life. This man truly is very inspirational and makes everyone in class feel special and important, and he has taught me so much about how to be a good student and person as well. The best professor I have ever had. If you're on the fence, TAKE HIS CLASSES
Webley is one of the best professors I have ever had. He cares a lot about the topics he discusses and clearly loves to teach it. There are no quizzes or exams, however there are two group presentations and a few online assignments that are pretty easy. Every Friday the class discusses new outbreaks. Participation is a major part of your grade.
Dr. Webley is so intelligent and truly cares about students. The class was discussion based yet he made the small lectures very interesting with relevant facts. There were lots of speakers and he encouraged participation in the class. There were a few papers and projects/presentations, but the grading was fair.
Wilmore is the best professor in the Microbiology department. He is kind, loves teaching and does it well, and accommodating. I discussed my issues with public speaking with him and he helped me find different ways to evaluate my learning in this class. I would stay after class just to talk with him every day. He is amazing, and dripped out too lol
He is the goat.
Easiest A ever, also learned a lot because its very low stakes and he is very encouraging. Show up, participate in discussions every now and then, do the easy 6 assignments = A. Such a great, understanding, and inspirational professor. Not much more to say, take the class!!
Hands down best class I've taken. Low stakes, learned a lot more than I expected. His lectures are actually engaging and truly makes you want to go to class. Participate in lecture every once in a while and you're all set.
