Comment:

Dr. Lisa cares so much about her students. She really wants to see you succeed in your future careers, and takes it upon herself to prepare you. She is super accessible, and gives great study tips. Her tests were difficult, but there are multiple ways to make up points--especially in the lab. She's very clear about what you need to know.

Dr. Lisa is an amazing professor! Not going to lie, this class requires HARD WORK and time, you can NOT be slacking off for this class. Her lectures can go a bit fast, but you can print the powerpoints ahead of time. Dr. Lisa may seem harsh and intimidating, but she does it out of care and honestly wants the best for us.

She will always quiz you on your metrics so defanitely practice those and disease cards were difficult but helpful in the end. She made the labs fun. She got to know all of us as students and as people which i really appreciated.

Awful teacher, condisending, intemitating and hard to approach with concerns. Just a horrible experience, teaching style is terrible and inhibits learning.

Dr. Lisa is one of the best professors at RCC. If you want to prepare properly, if you are going into the nursing program or something that it is going to actually matter that you apply yourself- take her! If you cannot handle Dr. Lisa then you probably, hate to say, aren't cut out for a science based career. NUDGE SHEETS ARE GOLD! #metrics #groups

Loathed this class and kind of didn't like her. I thought she made everything harder than it really was. She was a little condescending. BUT she does have the material in order for you to pass. I did cry because of this class but I survived! (But I don't recommend taking her. Take micro somewhere else if you had a choice tbh)

I just finished taking Dr. Lisa's micro class of spring 2017, at first i was very nervous because all i have ever heard from peers is that her class is the toughest thing they've ever taken. Let me tell you the class is challenging BUT she gives you everything you need to pass. Do not slack off! be sure to study and you'll be fine.

Dr. Lisa is a phenomenal professor and person. The material covered is tough, but she provides students with everything necessary to succeed in her course. She has tons of office hours if you need extra help and truly cares about her students, but she will not let you pass if you don't give your all. Fun/interesting lecture and lab to boot!

Dr. Lisa was an incredible professor and really cares about her students and their learning outcomes. She not only teaches you the material that you need to succeed, but also emphasizes how to go about studying it so that you retain it, especially important if you are going into the allied health field. Hard class, but with a great instructor!

Dr. Lisa is by far one of the best professors I have ever had at RCC. This class was not easy, but it was honestly a fun class to study for. She is super helpful if you're having any trouble at all. Make sure to study long and hard, and learn your disease cards early! I highly recommend taking this class!

I have been taking college courses on and off for four years. I have only had to drop three classes ever. Microbiology with this professor was one of them. She can be very rude, all over the place, makes things much more difficult than they NEED be. I'm an A student and she was jus awful, only science teacher at RCC that I would say to AVOID!!

Dr. Lisa is one of the best professors I have taken! I took her for Mic1 spring 2016 and plan to take her human genetics class as well. She is passionate and knowledgeable; she will take time to help with questions outside of class as well. She also gave me a lot of advice when I changed my major this last semester. I can't rate her highly enough!

One of the best proffesors in RCC. I took her class in spring& I really missed her how she was passionate for her job. You'll learn a lot in her class but you have to work hard . She really cares for her students so she is there when u need help. Even if micro is a hard class & i am not a native, I succeed with her help. Recommended for everyone!

I took Dr. Lisa's class SPRG 16. I absolutely loved her class. She expects you to put in the work and will tell you how to study. Her tests can be hard but she makes herself available to students. She is very helpful! Don't study the night before the class, you won't pass. Study a little after every lecture and start the disease cards early!

She's passionate about this subject but needs to remember she's teaching an intro class, She made this class much harder than it should be. She's all over the place, very confusing & comes off as rude and acknowledges it. She's not very helpful even during office hours, she rushes you while you're asking questions. Big mistake taking her

Dr. Lisa is honestly one of the best professors I have taken. I have attended schools in both Riverside and Los Angeles and she is great!! Know your metrics.. she pushes metrics because most of her students are in the nursing filed and its essential. Do your work and study hard and you will pass. She cares about her students and their success!! :)

I, personally, managed to fail her class, however, this was due to my apathetic nature when it came to the assigned homework, which also aided in the decline of my quiz and test scores, however, Doctor Lisa never ceased to make it a strong point that she was there to help me. She was incredibly kindhearted, personable and all around approachable.

I absolutely loved Dr. Lisa! There was never a dull moment in class, and her expectations were very clear from the start. You earned the grade you got! Your level of input and participation showed in your exam scores. The class was very educational and she helped you if you needed it! She even had small extra credit opportunities! Take her!-Maranda

Comment:

Was one of the hardest, most challenging, professor i've had. She includes all the powerpoints on her website prior to the semester beginning. Her quizes are hard if you're group doesn't do their disease cards correctly. She offers optional extra credit at the end which can boost your final exam by 10%. Definitely feel more confident for rn program
