Reviews of professor Guy Shani

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Dr.Shani is an excellent professor and is funny but also compassionate towards students and I felt like I was able to learn a lot during his class. I would recommend his class for any bio courses.

I took Dr. Shani's Summer Microbiology course and I would say he's an outstanding professor! His exams are pretty much based on slides. Lab exams were harder for me, but as long as you read and understand the lab manual, you'll be fine. The class wasn't hard in the first 6 weeks, but the last 2 weeks got REALLY hard. Don't underestimate this class!

Really great microbio professor! He really cares about his students and puts in the effort to make sure that we are prepared to do well in the class. I would just recommend studying his lectures and memorizing the lecture content and it should be an easy A.

He puts on a show, but in reality, he doesn't genuinely care. The workload is overwhelming, and I barely had time to get anything else done. Summer school was a waste of time, and he rambles on more than anything.

Microbiology is already a HARD course to begin with. If taken it with Dr. Shani, you better make sure its the only class you take during the semester. Lecture videos are straightforward and easy to follow, but make sure you know the slides in great detail for the exams. Yikes, his exams are extremely difficult!! point. blank. period.

One of my favorite bio professor at Mission! He's super friendly and works with you to make sure the content is understandable and clear.

Worst decision taking this guy, go take microbiology somewhere else!

Stunning professor. Exciting lectures, passion for the material, extremely forgiving of life situations outside of class. He tries to make a dense subject fun and easy to remember, not just for rote memorization reasons, but for clear understanding of the material and future application. Loves "gotcha" questions, but they help you learn.

Took him for summer school and I did not enjoy the way he teaches. He should've been in theater school not teach micro.

Dr. Shani is incredible! His grading is fair and everything you need is on the slides/lab manual. I really looked forward to each class and his jokes made lectures so engaging. Microbio is not easy. However, Dr. Shani always made the content easier to digest by making fun associations or storyboarding difficult concepts; I'll miss this class a lot!

Very entertaining lectures. Tough class. Not an easy A but definitely possible if you put in sincere time and energy into the work. Labs were my weak spot but I still got an A in the labs because I reached out to him whenever I needed help and he's always open to providing the right guidance.
