Reviews of professor Denise Foley

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
She gives 25 pts extra credit, do them all. Her lectures are her just reading. But she gives you the tools to succeed; SI, weekly open tutoring sessions with her, worksheets etc. She's not the best professor ever but she gives you opportunities. You can't slip up AT ALL in this class, stay consistent. Study hard+utilize her resources. Shes nice!

Very good professor.  Lots of extra credit opportunities for lecture, lab, and exams.  Very fair grader.  Very accessible textbook and study materials.  Plenty of opportunity to succeed and she gives you everything you need.  Do the work and you will do well.

Professor Foley is one of the best science professors I have ever had and I have had quite a few. If you want a professor that actually cares (i.e. you ask for help and she makes sure you get it, gives reminders, etc), gives you plenty of opportunities to get points, and has a clear structure for the class, take Foley for Microbiology. TRUST.

Structure of the class is straightforward, and everything is given to you to succeed. Online Lecture video, Pearson Mastering(HW), and quizzes to prepare you for the exam. Watch her lecture videos multiple times, read the book, and study the mastering Q's that's covered in class and do it ahead. Students who do bad or drop; they don't study ahead.

Dr. Foley is a really knowledgeable professor that has a lot of interesting material however sometimes there is a whole lot of lecture material to go over and it takes up a lot of time but it's an interesting topic that's also relevant so it's easy to comprehend, just a good amount of it. Not knocking the amount of lecture stuff however it's doable

Dr. Foley is the best! She is incredibly committed to helping students understand the material beyond the surface level and offers numerous extra credit opportunities to give everyone the best chance at succeeding. Her morning lab section is organized and engaging, never feels like a waste of your time like some lab sections can. Highly recommend!

Terrible Prof:

Doesn't explain concepts well at all and get mad that you aren't learning

Gives tons of homework but the points don't actually help you  

She is an extremely tough grader, entire classes fail her tests and there is no curve 

 make sure the class average is a 70% at most on tests type 

few students get good grades, the rest don't

Practicum exams (skill tests), final exam lab, 4 Quizzes Lab, 2 essays, final project presentation lab, and other assignments. Overloaded homework!  Dr. Foley is nice and has good feedback. Lab class was fun to see a ton of bacteria. GO OFFICE HOUR for HELP with your LAB Project Feedback! STUDY HARD TO GET A GOOD GRADE! NOT AN EASY LAB CLASS!
