Take Professor Calkins as your Microbiology professor, you won't be disappointed. She is very compassionate about teaching and goes above and beyond for her students. She is always willing to meet after labs to explain concepts.I always look forward to going to class and it has been by far my favorite class at TCC.

Professor Calkins, was hands down my favorite science professor of all time. She is truly caring of her class and students and teaches everything to an understandable level in every way, and if not still will do everything possible to help. The class was exciting, comfortable, interesting, and fun. Take her class you won't regret it!

VERY sweet and explains all assignments thoroughly. Very hard to end up with anything less than an A in her class.

I took the blended class that had lecture online and a weekly lab. Dr. Calkins is a great professor. In person attendance is mandatory but Dr. Calkins understands that most students might not be able to attend every lab and provides lecture and lab material online.

She was amazing. Broke down the workload so that it was totally feasible and not overwhelming. Explains things so well. Has 1 group project and 1 personal powerpoint which both were so easy, and stress free . Exams are exactly what was discussed in lectures so if you listen and have powerpoints you will do fine. You have to try to fail this class.

Take Dr Calkins, she's awesome. Doesn't require attendance which was a must for me, and she has lecture videos posted in case you miss class. She gives you all the tools necessary to pass the class, take her you won't regret it.
