TAKE MICRO IN THE SUMMER! her class is interesting and Bocchino does the lab which will make your life easier. the material isn't difficult to understand but it is the AMOUNT OF MATERIAL YOU HAVE TO MEMORIZE that is difficult.

Comment:

With all honesty. Sister Mary is very nice. She requires you to know all of the material. Don't buy the book because she gives you handouts. Study all of those and her notes. Record her if you can because she talks very fast. Do not take her with other science courses. Her class requires a lot of time and dedication. Take her in the summer.

Comment:

Sr. Mary is completely inconsiderate of her students,her test are up to 140 questions or more..and expects you to finish in exactly 60 mins. Then after the test she teaches what was on it.. She gives out "handouts" to help you but it is actually more to memorize. She says she is pro-student but she fails to show it in any way.

The coolest Professor in the world. yes, this is a hard class but trust me its all worth it if your going into the nursing and or biology field. I suggest you take her. And for being a Sister of Charity she had a great scence of humor.

Comment:

Does not cover what's on the test. Misleads students by telling them that certain things will not be on the test and she does put it on the test. Not helpful at all, in other words when you take this class make it clear "YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN".

Sister Mary Edward is so dedicated and loving to her students. She wants to see everyone succeed. She gives a great curve because she knows that her students need that confidence to continue on. I recommend her highly as a professor of choice for microbio. She is a great prof. and a great friend.

Microbiology with Sister Zipf was very much Interesting class but it was hard to get help from her, especially in lab and she never finishes her chapters and a student is left confused when a test comes around. Very confusing teacher, although very talented.

She seems hard cause she gives you a lot of material, but she's honestly not that bad. She gives a HUGE curve, since each one of her tests are appx 125 questions.
