Comment:
Id say she was a fairly average teacher. I personally hate group tests, but I had a fine group. On the cumulative final we were allowed a single paper cheat sheet, and I filled it to the brim. Theres a lot of content and I think I would agree with the other comments about her lecture slides being a weak point. But overall shes a fine teacher.

Lectures were all over the place, and there were far too many group exams.

Comment:
Professor Suchman is by far the best professor I've taken with at CSU. Her teaching philosophy is the reason why I took general microbiology with her. Be prepared for a tons of group assignments as she loves having students interact with each other. I would definitely recommend taking MIP300 with her.

Comment:
AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Her style of teaching forces you into uncomfortable groups (youre stuck for an entire semester), concept maps are a joke and so are case studies and online quizzes. Info to answer online quiz and exam questions is never directly stated in lectures, rather inferred. By far the worst professor Ive had at CSU

Comment:
Dr Suchman is very knowledgeable on both microbiology and how to teach effectively, but I found her lecture slides hard to follow sometimes. Her methods are solid, but sometimes she doesn't slow down and explain. Lots of small homework components, and tests sometimes feel meant to trip you up. Still, a solid professor who cares about teaching.

Comment:
Professor Suchman is an absolute blessing to the MIP department. Her passion for microbiology and helping students learn truly makes her stand out. If you attend lecture every class, pay attention, and take notes you CAN get an A. Don't expect an A if you skip class. She allows a full (front and back) cheat sheet for EACH exam. She wants you to learn to think critically not just memorize information. Professor Suchman is by far my favorite professor at CSU. She loves what she teaches and you can definitely tell!

Comment:
Lectures are rushed, and often scattered. No time is left for discussion. Student questions answered quickly with harsh, matter-of-fact tone rather than a thoughtful response. Huge amount of busy work. No calculators allowed b/c "you should know arithmetic". She should improve on her writing by that argument. "effect" noun, "affect" verb

Comment:
Provides objectives for each lecture, clearly detailing what she wants you to know (great study tool). Extra credit available. Tests are combo of MC & short answer, more about critical thinking than memorization. Provides multiple resources to help you succeed in class. Great anecdotes during lectures. Don't need textbook.

Great professor! Records lectures in case you miss class, lots of quizzes and group tests to help understand material. Class isn't too bad if you come to class and pay attention

Great teacher has abunch of little things that break up the class so it makes he class go faster. Group tests are some easy points. Exams are pretty hard but enough studying you should receive a decent grade. Make sure you read her multiple choice questions carefully.
