Comment:
Mr. Steve is great. I had him for cell bio/genetics lab, and really hated the class. I took this class as kind of as a last resort, but wow, Mr. Steve truly cares about his students, loves what he teaches, and student interaction/participation. He is super understanding if you ever need to talk to him, so caring, and funny in a very Mr. Steve way

Comment:
His lab safety in a lab methods class is very poor and he comes of as condescending when interacting with students. He isn't clear in his procedure or what he expects, meaning that everyone is pretty confused unless they ask questions very frequently, which isn't how lab should be operated. For a lab methods class this was a waste of time.

Comment:
He is without a doubt one of the worst teachers I have ever had. He is mean and super unhelpful. He is not accessible at all. He is super unclear in terms of what he wants and then is condescending when you do ask him questions. If I could have taken this class with anyone else I would have but unfortunately he will be here until he dies.

Maybe the worst teacher that I have met at Macalester. Mean and unhelpful. He is also rarely available outside of class.

Comment:
Mr. Steve's microbiology course is my favorite. You may not realize it because it's quite subtle, but everything he is going to test you on is mentioned in class. Take good notes and you'll do great, learn lots, and love bacteria. Lab sucks up a lot of time though...

Comment:
I chose to take Microbiology exclusively because I had Steve for my Cell Bio/Gen lab instructor, and he was good then. My interest was average, but Mr Steve's enthusiasm's infectious and I grew to love the subject. Take a course with him; very friendly, and cracks lots of Monty Python jokes. Go for it! Head's up: his Microbio is challenging!

Take lab with Mr. Steve. He is a really nice person who will give you extensions if you need help. That being said, he does expect a lot from you but he teaches you very well. My skills have improved dramatically. He is humorous and a great guy. I loved this class, even though it was 3h 20 mins.

Steve is super awesome and I hope they're paying him a lot of money. I graduated more than 10 years ago and I still think of him as one of my best profs at Mac.

Comment:
Steve is incredibly inspiring and fun as a professor, but watch out for the phrase "type of thing" as it tends to get overused and he can be confusing as to what exactly you need to learn. But still... noone is more excited about the microworld than Steve!

Steve is a wonderful man. I think of him as a father who makes me plate bacteria and write huge papers.

Micro was one of the best classes I ever took. I spent like my entire life that semester in the lab, but I loved my unknown microbes dearly.
