Reviews of professor Joseph Brewoo

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Avoid taking this class with him at all cost. His grading scale is different than any other teacher at MATC, with a 76 being what you need to get a C. The final exam took over 3 hrs and we all bombed it, even w/ it being open book/open notes. Take advantage of any extra credit he offers, it may be the only way you pass.

I took Microbiology with Joe and let me tell you... His grading scale is different then every other teacher you have to get a 76% for a C. Every person in our class bombed the final and it dropped everyone a full letter grade. We would have discussions in class and then the test would be completely different and be on nothing we talked about.

I took his General Chemistry class in the spring of 2018. He was nearly impossible to understand in lecture. His tests were very difficult even though they were open book. I dropped the class halfway through and decided to take it at a different school and am passing with an A. Take any other teacher than him.

Joe was an excellent instructor, he likes to joke around. There was a lot of lecture and lab material. We are required to do a presentation as well, lot of research goes into that. In my class we were able to do labs together and there was online homeowork/tests. I really enjoyed his Microbiology- University Medical class! Highly recommended!

Participation is not optional in Joe's class. He lectures from the textbook powerpoints (which can be pretty dry), but all of the exams except the midterm and final are take home. The midterm and final are completely open-note but are still quite challenging. I never read the textbook but did reference it during exams. Ask lots of questions!
