Reviews of professor Denise Foley

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
You're better off taking any other teacher but Foley. I can truly say she is the worst instructor. She reads straight off her lectures but does not teach. You'll end up teaching yourself. She is a tough grader, but does give extra credit. Do not waste your money buying the lab manual either, you'll never use it. The book can be found online also.

4 quizzes (lecture), 3 exams (lecture) part 1, 3 essay exam lecture (3-5 questions) part 2, Cumulative final exam, learning catalytic and mastering microbiology homework assignments must participate for your grade. 1 (Project Group final review) (Lecture). Overloaded homework! Dr. Foley is very friendly and nice. (Lecture class)

Dr. Foley made me fall in love with microbiology. This is a HARD class that is very demanding. Two days of labs, plus lectures. It was not an easy class and the lab was intense. Dr. Foley will take her time and explain the concepts but you need to make an effort and try. SI was a part of our course and I would always recommend any extra help.

While this is a 5 unit class that takes up a good deal of time/effort, I felt able to follow the whole semester through because of Dr. Foley. There are many extra credit assignments and homework assignments that boost your grade. The mastering pearson she uses is actually extremely useful. Would definitely take her again!!

OVER ALL JUST HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. SHE CHANGED THE SYLLABUS MID SEMESTER AND MADE IT SO THE EXAMS AND QUIZZES WERE A TOTAL OF 55% OF YOUR GRADE. 22 PAGES OF HOMEWORK EVERY WEEK, WHICH WERE ONLY WORTH 4% OF YOUR GRADE WHICH WAS RIDICULOUS. MICRO IS ALREADY CHALLENGING AND THERE WAS JUST NO GOOD INSTRUCTION. BEWARE OF THIS CLASS.

Only take this class from this professor if you're ready to be miserable everyday and be consistently confused with 50 different unnecessary assignments due every week. I really wish I chose a different professor.

this was actually the hardest class I've ever taken in my college career. I loved lab (it was also in person this semester) but oh my gosh were lectures EXTREMELY heavy. definitely come into this class mentally prepared and be ready to study day in and out.

I have nothing bad to say about this professor. She is an amazing teacher and has so many materials to help you pass the class. Utilize the video lectures she posts they will help you majorly. She is super caring and I wish I could take her for another class. Use the SI instructor as a tutor they will help you succeed even more.
