Reviews of professor Guy Shani

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Ive had many professors & hes by far one of my favs & most impactful. Hes everything you could ask for in a professor. Lectures are very clear, the labs were very fun, & he is very wholesome & funny. His Extra Credit is fun & works with you to learn the material. +He understands student's lives. He makes me want to take up Microbiology as a major!

Professor Shani is the best professor I've ever had. He is very patient, passionate, kind, and hilarious. His lectures are very entertaining. He provides numerous opportunities for extra credit. Any microbiology class you take is going to challenge you, but he makes learning very fun and doable. Study for your exams and you'll be fine!

Pros: Extremely friendly, willing to help if needed.  Very passionate about his field.  Drops one exam.

Cons: TONS of studying, don't use learning objectives as a study guide, make sure you know and understand EACH and EVERY single slide.  Tests are extremely difficult.  Prepare for a very big study and workload with him.  Tough grader.  Beware.

This class was incredibly disappointing, with the professor expecting students to already be experts in microbiology. There's little to no help outside of class, as office hours are unhelpful and emails go unanswered. Overall, I would not recommend this class!!

Professor Shani is very knowledgeable! He teaches really well, gives extra credit, and is a fun professor to be around! His tests are very straightforward, as long as you study the slides front and back, you will get an A. Microbio itself is not easy at all, but Shani makes the class an engaging, rewarding experience! Good luck:)

Very wholesome and kind professor for such a hard class. But he's very passionate about the subject and it shows through his lectures. Don't worry about needing the textbook because he bases all of his exams from his lecture slides, so be sure to know, master, & manifest each slide front/back. Drops lowest exam score &fun extra credit opportunities

This is a HARD class. I am an A student, but I had to work extra hard for this one. Lots of info and the hardest tests I have ever taken. However, Dr. Shabi is GREAT and funny. Makes the lecture entertaining & gives a lot of opportunities for extra credit (just by making memes) Study EVERY DETAIL from the slides & know how to apply that knowledge.

You're better off taking another teacher who at least stands by his word and honors their own syllabus. This guy does not help you in any way whatsoever, and the jokes are terrible, to say the least. Go elsewhere for micro trust me it's not worth your time.
