Reviews of professor Jeffery Bara

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Amazing professor. Can't say enough good things. He is extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic and passionate about micro. Hard not to love him and his wonderfully corny dad jokes. Be prepared to put a lot of work in, but it will be to your benefit to get everything you can out of this course

He's a really nice person, but he's a horrible professor. He cannot teach at all doesn't even give you all the notes required for exams. He goes on tangents about unnecessary information. He does not explain things and expects you to pretty much no everything about Microbiology before you even take the class.

Bara is a fine person, but not a good professor. Just because you love a subject does not mean you should teach it. He went on many tangents, and I felt like what we learned in class was not on the exam. Most of us came to a consensus that no matter how much you studied, you would never be prepared for the exam.

The lab was my favorite part of the class. Very hands on with the labs we did. The lectures went a bit fast but we were provided with the powerpoints. We did a lot of group work with worksheets and reading articles. The discussion assignments were a bit annoying but it wasn't hard just tedious. He also has A+ Dad jokes in the beginning of class!
