Reviews of professor Lisa Erwin

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Erwin is hands down just amazing. By far my favorite college professor. She has a great sense of humor, shes passionate about what she lectures and really tries to engage the class. Shes very direct with what she expects from you. Listen to the lectures and do the exam reviews and youll be golden.

This class was one of the most frustrating classes I've ever taken. The online textbook was required for 15% of the grade and it cost about $90. As well, weekly Discussion posts that require 3 posts on separate days and she always finds something to take points off for (She's more strict on grammar than any English professor).

Erwin is amazing, she knows her stuff & gets down to the point. Micro is a heavy subject within itself .. you cannot finesse this class without studying .. period. She tells you what you need to know, reviews for every test,practical. Needed lab manual for labs & lab quiz before every lab. She loves what she does and she shows it, truly. TAKE HER!

I don't suggest this professor's class. I met all requirements but was dropped without explanation. Despite many emails and no response I took it up with the dean. The professor seemed patronizing, and overly picky in the discussions about wording, and previous reviews validate concerns about her strict teaching style and attitude towards students.

I took professor Erwin during the summer and it was my first time taking an online course. I was terrified but she was amazing. She always answered any question I had and she made the class interesting even tough it was online. She would also participate in discussions which I found helpful.

Quiz every week to help keep you on track, 4 exams, 2 lab practicals & a final. Micro was challenging but she makes it hard for you NOT to pass. Professor Erwin is incredibly hilarious & knows her stuff. She provides chapter outlines that you fill in as she lectures. Study those & you'll do solid.

Professor Erwin is a great teacher, she is funny which keeps the class entertaining, and she gives students room to grow with extra credit opportunities and some slight independence when doing labs. The exam reviews + the notes she provides will be your best friend, use them! It's a lot of info but it's all very interesting.

This had to be one of the hardest courses I have ever taken! It is so so much to memorize so make sure you have TIME if your taking this class. You need a lot of time to study if you want to get a good grade. It's a lot to memorize in a short span. She gives you all the resources you need to study and a lot of at-home assignments and quizzes.
