Comment:

The passionate teachers are always the best ones and this Prof is def one of them. I took him during Covid so everything was online and I wish I would have taken him in person because I would have loved to have been more engaged with him. His test are long and heavy so def put in the work but if you study and review you will do well.

He is an amazing professor, his lectures are very heavy but all you really need to do is make sure your write down the jounral entrys and he gives you the powerpoints so dont bother writting down all the lecture its a waste of time. Listen for the answers for the journal entries, you dont really need to read the book, only the questions on the SG.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE INDEPENDENT STUDY WITH HIM. You do not receive proper feedback on the proposal, progress report, or final. He only grades for grammar errors and your APA formating. I LOST SEVERAL POINTS IN JUST THE REFERENCES. After doing a 16-page research paper, I was graded solely on APA format and my references???? Take any other class!!!

Comment:

Do not and I repeat DO NOT take PHAP Independent Study with Wambuguh. He literally gave me my only B in this program and ruined my gpa. Literally take any other class. He didn't give us any guidance as to what was expected and was not understanding at all considering we're in a pandemic and have recently shifted to an online modality.

Let me start by saying that his class is not one bit easy. Yes, he makes receiving an A achievable for his students. He also makes himself available for office hours. PLEASE REACH OUT TO HIM IF YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE! Also please team up in groups, as it makes the class much easier. The more you talk about the knowledge, the better you will perform

Comment:

Dr. Wambuguh is such a great person. He's everything you want in a professor--understanding, funny, and enthusiastic. His stories always made the class laugh. The class itself is easy--I highly suggest doing it for your B6 requirement. Online quizzes and exams. TONS of extra credit. There really is no way you shouldn't get an A in the class.

Comment:

Dr. Wambuguh is an amazing professor. He is really helpful and assures you that you will pass. He knows that genetics is a very tough subject, but he makes about half of the classes assignments extra credit so that a majority of his students can pass with an A. Remember to do all the online quizzes! Half of them are extra credit!

Professor Wambuguh is so nice! He explains exactly what we need to know for our assignments, and is incredibly helpful when any of us has questions. It was a bit stressful taking 4700 in only 4 weeks, but professor wambuguh made it a pleasant experience. I would definitely recommend his class. I'm just bummed I didn't take classes with him sooner!

Oscar is an amazing professor! I took him for Environmental Health a couple quarters back and I decided to take him again for 4700 because he is a gem. He gives clear instructions on assignments and provides feedback and help whenever asked. He also replies very quickly when you email him, which is a plus. Highly recommend taking Oscar for sure!

Comment:

Oscar is an incredibly fun and talented professor. Show up to class or you'll never understand the content, as genetics is a tough subject. The PowerPoints alone won't be enough without his commentary. Gives a TON of extra credit, and two chances on every single exam, including the midterm! One of the best professors I've ever had.

Great lecturer and very personable professor. He wants students to succeed and is a very fair grader. I failed every exam, but still got an A in the class. DO THE WEEKLY QUIZZES. He counts these quizzes as extra credit at the end. He also has extra credit opportunities. Exams are long and quite hard. 1 minute per question.

Professor is a solid choice! Powerpoint Lectures with Journal Entries, Weekly Quizzes. Weekly EXTRA CREDIT Quizzes. 2 online Midterms, 1 TakeHome Midterm & 1 Final. As long as you keep up with the weekly quizzes, attend class, keep up with the journal entries, you will definitely pass the class! Study groups are strongly recommended!

I'm so glad I took him for this course. You will learn a lot from his class. My only suggestion is to do all the quizzes cause most of them are extra credits. I strongly recommend. GL :)

Oscar is a good teacher. He is upbeat and he knows his stuff. His lectures are on power points on BB. His tests & quizzes however, they're online and hard. He gives you a time limit, 1 minute per question. I often find myself guessing.. but he gives a lot of extra credit and made 85% of the quizzes extra credit. Answers questions thoroughly. Nice!

Comment:

I absolutely hate how he does things. His lectures are fine and relatively entertaining (school isn't entertaining). However, for exams, you're forced to sit there answer 150 questions and you don't get enough time to answer them so you're forced to just guess if the time is running out. Exam errors, long exams, posts assignment right before due

All student expectations were crystal clear. He grades all assignments within 3 days max so you will always know what your grade is in the class. If I ever had a question he would give me a response within 24 hours. One of the few classes I truly enjoyed at CSUEB because of this professor. Thank you.

Take him for 4700, you won't regret it! You do have weekly HW but it is all manageable. Grant test is kinda hard but it is definitely passable. Need to study for sure. He lets you miss so many questions so you can keep your A.

I am so glad I decided to take this class with Professor W. Well structured course that enables learning. I actually liked to do the assignments and he posted inspirational comments to each of my assignments that motivated me to do well on the next one. 5 Case Scenarios, 5 Article Summaries, Portfolio, and Grant Test, EC opportunity as well.
