Hands down best prof for Micro. Micro is a hard class and he makes it an easy A! For lab he always lets you out early and youre graded on 2 open lab manual exams and His lab final is basically for you to hand in the lab manual he gives you. For lecture youre graded on 3 take home MC tests and the final is an easy project. Super nice and cares!

Comment:

Took him for microbio, did not learn much in the class and lecture was a bit boring but he tries to get you engaged. Tests are take home and final was an easy project, have him for lab too and always lets you out early. He is hilarious and always has stories, easy to talk about things with. He is one of the coolest and laid back professors I know.

I took microbiology with Dr. Weeks and I couldn't be happier that I did. He is funny, smart and a great teacher! Would recommend taking his class, he is a reasonable teacher who wants everyone to pass his class.

Comment:

He curves the grades so it's easy to pass. But the lectures are super long and he doesn't use power point so all you can study out of is your notes and book. Yes, it's easy to pass, but I don't think I learned anything in that class.

Comment:

His lab is an easy A & always ends early. But u have to try in lecture. 1st lecture test was in class & last 2 were take home. The final is an easy project instead of a test :) He's hilarious during lectures & really knows his stuff. Only complaint is he doesn't use powerpoints to teach, so u have to take notes or find the powerpoints online.

Comment:

This class was not as everyone previously stated. I think he's starting to make changes to how he does things in class, in microbiology he gave our first test in class. The other two were take home. Was kind of obnoxious when asking for specifications. He's not a terrible but not the best either.

Comment:

Had him for microbiology lab. Labs never take the whole class, which is nice. They're all straightforward and he will help you if you need it. Tests are take home and are basically just case studies and a few questions about lab safety and past labs. Take him for lab to boost your lecture grade!! I wish I had him for lecture too, he knows his stuff

As of Spring 2016, attendance is now mandatory for his Micro Lecture due to kids not showing up to class from the previous semesters. All of the tests are online. He assigns an optional final project. Don't need to buy the textbook. Lectures are a drag but they're only once a week.

Attendance is not mandatory, very distracted professor but he is intelligent and can help you. All tests, including lab exams, were take home and easy. All answers on Quizlet. No reason not to do well. Don't buy the textbook. You won't need it.
