Reviews of professor Douglas Dedera

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I have taken Microbio before with a bad professor it was a total nightmare. Professor Dedra was able to teach Microbiology in a way that was simple, and made it fun to learn! He has so many years of experience and shares real life examples from when he worked in the field which made for great lessons/knowledge you cannot receive from a textbook.

Don't miss a class. Be prepared to review material outside of class. He's brilliant, but chemistry isn't his passion and it shows. Not a bad guy though. He's willing to give extra help/assistance if you need it, but you have to ask. Don't wait until last minute to do so.

Professor Dedera is a great scientist, but his lectures consist of him reading directly from slides each class. His final covers topics not learned in his class. The way he teaches makes it hard to understand the information so be prepared to teach yourself. Never used the books once. Mandatory attendance.

Keep up with the homework and Labster assignments or you'll fall behind. Topics/concepts are dense and a lot. I really appreciated that the professor provided lecture slides and study guides that were very helpful for our exams. Plus he has years of experience making his lectures pretty interesting. To be honest I enjoyed his class.
