Reviews of professor brian rowning

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Rowning is an amazing teacher. He genuinely cares about his students and is always nice and cheerful. Coursework is comprised of online assignments, lab reports, quizzes at the beginning of each lec/lab, a short research paper, and exams. If you do the work you'll pass.

Professor Rowning is the most caring professsor and the best one in microbiology. He cares about student's succeeding. He gives unknown project, labs are so intensive and worth more points, study for his exams and you will be fine, just do all the extra credit and you can get an A or B in the class . :)

Definitely one of the nicest Professors at Contra Costa. Great teacher, very personable. Lectures are based from powerpoint. Tests are based on lecture and powerpoint. He seems enjoys interaction with students and student participation. Enroll before you are waitlisted.

Prof. Rowning is amazing. His lectures are very overwhelming though and a bit hard to follow. He teaches the class by using a lot of PowerPoints which was extremely confusing because it made it difficult to study for a particular thing when there was so much info in the PowerPoints but I always asked him questions and made sure to do well in lab.

Wished he provided more feedback. Be prepared to do work! 19 lab reports, 2 lab practicals, 4 exams, 2 quizzes, 2 short papers, 2 math assignments & 1 big unknown project. EC is offered. Con: doesnt grade any assignments until the end of the semester & doesnt specify what to study on exams (just gives you study guides). Be warned: study, study!

I had Dr. Rowning for BIO 430 and 434 and loved having him as my professor. He cares a lot about his students, is passionate about microbiology, is incredibly informative, and gives ample extra credit opportunities. Would highly recommend him for any Microbiology classes.

Professor Rowning was a really caring guy. He was always there to talk to students that needed extra help during office hours.  This was a really hard subject. I had to study all the time so I would not fall behind. If you do all of your assignments and study then you will do fine in the class.

I took his class one year ago, till this day I always think about how kind of a professor he was to our class. Yes there is ALOT to review, he gives so much opportunity for EC, it is everywhere! Read the key points in the chapters and you will do fine. He's awesome, sweet, caring, approachable, and understanding. I would give a 10 if I could!
