Reviews of professor Dwayne Roach

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Roach focuses more on how students would understand the concept of the topic, not the very specific terminologies. He makes the topics less complicated and uses fun analogies for better understanding. He prioritizes review sessions and does not give heavy workload, but expect to spend more time studying the lectures.

Overall a solid lecturer and good class organization. Extra credit is available randomly if you attend in person. Exams weigh heavy on grade.

His lectures were clear and straightforward. The course was mostly composed of 3 exams, 2 quizzes, 3 study guides, a 2-page paper, and sometimes extra credit for attendance. Overall, he's quite a good and chill professor.

Loved this course, learned lots of topics that are applicable to my future and quite interesting. Extra credit is offered randomly throughout the semester to those who are present at lecture. Prof emphasizes understanding the patterns of microbio instead of memorizing everything. 3 exams, 2 quizzes, diy study guides (20pt ea) and a summary (100pts)

Dr. Roach runs a straightforward class. It is challenging material, but he is clear about the information that will be tested on. Dives into research while focusing on overarching themes across different modules. Communicates if there is a deviation from the syllabus. Although lectures are recorded, go to class it is for your own benefit.

One of the few professors I've ever had at SDSU that genuinely seemed to care about student outcomes. His lectures were straightforward, the material was easy to comprehend, and there was ample opportunity for extra credit.

Dr Roach lectures in a very clear manner and makes it easy for students to understand the key points of each class. Come to class and you will be rewarded with extra credit possibly. The grade is largely based on 3 exams and a few quizzes. Make sure to read all questions thoroughly, they can be tricky if you rush through them.

Dr. Roach is a great professor by helping his students understand the concepts of lecture beyond just memorization. Even though lectures are recorded showing up and being a part of the discussion really helps and might earn you some extra credit. Exams are a bit tricky but if you put the time in you'll do just fine.

Lectures are discussion-based which gives you more of a chance to make connections to daily life/ clinical experience than a traditional lecture style. Course is graded test heavy which requires making connections between the lectures particularly even when not outwardly discussed in class. Not an easy A but definitely a great learning opportunity
