Very funny guy, makes lectures fun and enjoyable. Weekly quizzes. lowest quiz dropped. A midterm and a final. Provides power points to all his lectures. I would recommend to supplement studying with the lab manual. No book required. 1st half can be difficult because of microscope use and staining techniques.

Great professor, super kind and funny. Sends out emailed ppts after every class, lets class out early if everyone seems to be done. Make sure you really real the lab manual if you're having issues with the powerpoint. His quizzes test on them and he does try to trick you sometimes. Tests are a little on the tough side. Great guy overall.

Joseph is a really nice, fun guy. With that being said the first half of lab was challegening. Be ready to study. Most of his questions for the quizzes come from his powerpoints, a few from the lab manual. The second half of lab I found to be much easier. He is great at responding to emails and very easy to talk to and get along with.

Professor Thrower is super funny!He gives entertaining lectures that you can relate to as well as clear instructions for the lab assignments. He pretty much lets you work at your own pace and lets you go when you're done. Quiz at the beginning of class about the previous lab. Gives short powerpoints and hints for the test. I highly recommend him.

Took him for 251, and I might as well of not taken a lab class at all. He rushes through power points, then rushes through labs and tries to get out of class as quickly as possible. He doesn't want to be there the entire class. My grade is my fault for not studying, but he could have taught more. Nice guy, but I don't feel like he wants to teach.

Comment:
Inspirational lab teacher he has worked for the CDC. Attendance is mandatory even after the quiz. He follows that by handing out a power point to each student on the information he will be lecturing and covering. Sometimes he emphasizes on something, that something will most likely be on the quiz practical so listen follow directions. Cool guy!

Thrower is the best. He's really funny and down to earth. Everything he quizzes on is in the previous slideshowhandout, so you know what to expect. I would take his class again in a heartbeat. It's kind of sad that he only taught two sections this semester.

Joe is a great educator! He is extremely knowledgeable and very clear during experiments and class exercises. He will do them 1st to show you & walk around offering help. He prints out ppts for you every class that you will need to pass quizzes. Quizzes are straight forward, if you study, or look at them at all, you will pass. Also nice & funny guy
