  DONT get me wrong Dr. Wilson makes microbio better with Dr. A. They also both constantly try and trick you. Dr. Wilson also refused to go over my final for this class and my unknowns project.

  She truly cares about her students! Her lectures are well-formatted and explained in an clear manner regardless of the subject. She also offers post lecture quizzes that can contribute to replacing a case study grade, and will sometimes post extra credit assignments. All her tests are simple as long as you studied the powerpoints thoroughly.

  Literally could not have asked for a better teacher. Microbiology is a pretty bulky course with a lottt of information, but she teaches it passionately and makes it interesting. She makes the test questions pretty straightforward and probably as easy as a class like microbiology can be. Put in the time and you will do good!

  This professor is insanely smart and fluent in the content. The only thing keeping me from giving perfect scores was the amount of technological issues present. While they werent always her fault, she made up for it, giving the students the benefit of the doubt and alternatives. The content is decently hard, the tests are super fair. She is great

  By far my favorite professor I've ever had. She's the nicest and most caring and only wants what's best for her students. If she makes an error on a test or case study she'll give you points back. extra credit is offered. I highly recommend going to her lectures, but even if you can't make it she posts her lectures on canvas. amazing!!!

  I encourage you to go to class. What needs to know for the exam is in PowerPoint and she will repeat information multiple times. Before the exam, binge-listening to recorded lectures is helpful. Although she has RBF, she is SUPER nice and funny. Don't sleep on post-lecture quizzes! It is a big help when you did not do so well on a case study.

  Professor Wilson knows hers stuff and made lecture interesting each time. If you have questions make sure to ask them during class because she is hard to reach outside of class. She offers lots of extra credit so take advantage of every opportunity. She doesn't create study guides for exams so you have to review each chapter. No final though!

  She teaches the lab portion of micro and I wish she was the main lecturer. TAs ran my lab so I never saw her. Only downside is if you have any problems with your lab material, make sure you say something and fight for it cause the TAs and her are known to not fix the problem and it will drop your grade. She also doesn't answer her emails.

  Nicest lady ever. I wish she taught the main class instead of Ambivrio. She was very clear with what she wanted from your work. I understood all the lab results as soon as she explained them. She and her TAs were wonderful. Made lab easier and fun. 10/10.

  Mrs. Wilson a great lecturer and professor. Unlike her counterpart, Dr. A, I felt like Mrs. Wilson genuinely cared about helping her students do well in the course. The work is fair as are the exams. There are built in curves. Just study and put in some effort and you will do well.

  I absolutly love Mrs. Wilson. Her work is straight forward and she is always willing to help. Her lectures are pre-recorded videos that are 10-20min each. Just watch the lecture and do a 5 question quiz, simple. 1 midterm and a 2-part practical that helped my lec grade. DO WELL ON THE MIDTERM! It will help your lecture grade.

  The class overall not bad, there was hw, an exam per section and case studies. It was very frustrating due to her personal life interfering with our grades, assignments, ect. I know if it was ran better many of us would have done better. Study on your own theres no guarantee she will be there or publish in a timely manner. DOESNT ROUND.

  Absolutely fantastic professor that cares a lot about her students. Lab is mandatory attendance but the lectures are via zoom or in person (although I'd always recommend going in person). Her lectures are incredibly engaging and the material is very interesting and not particularly difficult if you have semi-regular study habits. Great professor!

  As a lab instructor is very average, would participate in some sort of a few times but most if not, almost all work was made by the TA's. Also, the TAs for this semester were quite un-motivated in my opinion, went lucky with one TA but the rest simply were as doing their stuff and then want to leave. Very average in my opinion, bad mix with lecture

  had her in summer a for 3 weeks. test questions are directly from ppts, so listen to her recordings and pay attention during lecture. her case studies are harder than ambivero's, so be prepared! don't slack off in lab! read the book beforehand bc the quizzes are easy points. lab midterm & final are similar (curved w/ 4 points). TAs are great.

  Prof. Wilson is the BEST! I took her in summer A for 3 weeks. She is so passionate about what she does and makes it interesting for her students. During lectures she'll emphasize stuff that you should know for exams. Once you study, you'll definitely pass! 100% recommend. Take her in fall or spring though. Plus, lab is super easy and fun.

  She is a good professor if you already know the material - she teaches as if you know what she is talking about. Doesn't go into a lot of detail and I find myself using a lot of outside resources and watching her lectures at least 3 times each. She does hint at exam questions but there are no study guides which makes it extremely difficult.

  The lab and this lecture were both interesting due to Ms. Wilson and her awesome TA's. The tests and lab test/ quizzes were very straightforward and Ms. Wilson usually hints at what questions will be on the exam. Flashcards are very helpful in this class.

  The lab was amazing! Mrs. Wilson records lectures before each lab about what will be tested on that particular day, so as long as you go over those before youre tested, youll be solid! On the practical skills test, you get multiple attempts and only the best is graded. This was the most interesting *and* the most fun lab I think Ive ever taken.
