Comment:

Most of her questions on quizzes and exams come straight of the study guide. For microbiology she has online quizzes and master microbiology which some professor at Salisbury don't have!!!She is very helpful during office hours. She will answer any questions you have! I would highly recommend her!!!!

Comment:

She is very unapproachable. She assumes everyone knows what she is talking about. Its a hybrid course, so the lecture you get points for the day (only if she does clicker questions and those are random) but most of the work and material you are learning outside class yourself. When you teach yourself you do a quiz after even if you're confused

Comment:

Heres how the class goes, you do a 3-4 page study guide for each class. She rarely lectures, and when she does you dont learn anything because shes so dry. Almost every class you do groupwork based off the study guide you did. I can say that I didnt learn one thing from her teaching, you do it all yourself. Exams are kinda tough.

Comment:

Professor Emmert wasn't too bad; can be a bit of a petty grader at times but she as a person is pretty chill and funny once you get her to open up to your class. I had her for lab too and her lab exams were difficult. You have to study everything from the labs. Her lecture exams are right from the study guides. She's the best choice for micro.

Like everyone says, long and dry lectures. Mediocre presentation skills. She is very organized and planned a detailed semester long schedule. The biology course was hard but it is not her fault because it was the education standard system.

Comment:

Dr. Emmert in my opinion teaches very straightforward. She does not have lecture slides, everything is on the board so taking good notes is ESSENTIAL to passing. Lecture was dry and long. My fellow peers were not too fond of her. She can be a little bit of a harsh grader. Her test were short and from the notes. I recommend Pollock but Emmert is ok!

Comment:

found the lectures to be extremely dry and long. her tests i found were extremely difficult because she only bases it off of what she writes on the board. her final exam as god awful. she gives you an exam 4 on the most recent material you learned and a cumulative final all in one sitting.

Comment:

Dr. Emmert is a very monotone teacher but she only goes over the broad topic that will be on the test. Her exams are straight from the notes and packets you get so just study those. The class doesn't go into that much detail, she just wants to get the main idea. Mostly memorization. Definitely recommend taking her for an easy A or B.

Comment:

Upper level biology class so don't think it'll be an easy A. Emmert is fantastic though. Lab is pretty easy and straightforward, weekly textbook worksheets which are decent, exams come STRAIGHT from the notes. Really understand the material and it'll be no problem doing well in this class. I learned a great deal from her, I highly recommend her!

Comment:

Dr. Emmert was my research mentor and she truly is passionate about microbiology! I had her for environmental microbiology and immunology too, and even though the classes and material were difficult, I learned a lot more than I did from my easier classes at SU. I highly recommend her classes to students who want to KNOW the material.

Comment:

She isn't the greatest teacher. It's possible to get an A in her class but it's hard to because he test are ridiculous. If you prefer a teacher with very detailed notes and PowerPoint's then don't take her. This is my first biology class that I will not get an A in and that saying a lot. I wouldn't recommend her.

Comment:

I found this course difficult, it was a teach yourself basically. Every week you have a study guide you must fill out with lots of online work, then in class you do labs. Tests have random questions that don't seem to have the big concepts in mind, asked to make sure you watch the online videos. You will work for your grade.

You will have to work for your A, but it is definitely possible. Very fair and very helpful if you go to her with questions. Just pay attention, do your work, study, and ask questions if you're confused. SHE WILL HELP YOU!

Comment:

I thought her tests were impossible. They were way too specific and I studies to learn he material, not to memorize facts, which is what her tests were. I enjoyed lab and though it was easier but I didn't have her. I would not recommend her if you plan on having any kind of life this semester.

Dr.Emmert isn't bad as people described her! Her exams are pretty straight forward. If you study your notes you should be fine! I recommend anyone taking Microbiology

Comment:

I thought that this was a really good class. There wasn't that much information on each test, and the tests were easy if you read over your notes a few times. The short answers on the end of tests were pretty darn hard though! She may not be as easy as pollock, but hey, I know I learned more and that's what college is about.

Comment:

Micro is an interesting course - I think she made it a little boring though. I got a solid B in the class, her exams are definitely challenging though. I would have EVERY detail memorized of her 20 page long (front and back) lecture notes, but still get about an 83% or 84% on every exam. She definitely seems nice though, just very challenging. Dont be scared to take her, just be ready to work

Comment:

Really interesting class and material but honestly she is not a fair grader at all. Takes points off for misspelling hard bio terms. If your short answers arnt exactly how she wants them you get no partial credit at all for the other correct and relevant info you did take the time to write. Don't take the class if she's teaching it.

Not alot of points available in the class. Many classmates of mine expected A's and got C's. However, she was extremely knowledgeable and its an interesting class. If your a good student you'll do fine. I learned a bunch and got an A :)
