Comment:
Terrible professor with great arrogance and no responsibility. Explains everything unclear and would not answer any questions, unless you're a girl. His lectures weight quite some proportions in the final exam and the average in his part is only 50%, whereas our normal average is 73%. Why bother giving lecture if you don't even respect students?

This man is the superhero of the virus world! He is highly interested in the subject and delivers the material in clear and concise manner. Beware of babbling on and on in an answer to his exam questions, write less and straight to the point. On the personal level, he is fun to chat with!

So many courses are ?more of the same?. Then there?s DON. He?s the model of ?high education?. He loves what he teaches, he doesn?t care about appearances, and he gives it everything he?s got if you are willing to learn. I am glad I had Micro in 2006 and was exposed to his style (of teaching). Thanks for adding color!

Good prof.. explains things well enough. Exams are fair, but marking scheme is TOUGH! Make sure you prepare, memorize, be concise, and know everything for the exam.

Very good lecturer and a very nice guy. The kind of guy you would go out for a drink with. He loves what he does and it shows. His tests are tough, but if you know your material well and are concise with your answer (no long BS answers) you will do well. I would say more of a garden gnome appearance. Still, a very good prof and an awesome clas

Comment:
Dr. Stoltz was the worst professor I ever had. He has a huge ego. His lectures are disorganized; he never has any focus when he's speaking and there is no guidance in terms of notes. His tests seem fair at first glance, but wait for the marks. I have reason to believe Dr. Stoltz has no knowledge of the English language. He shouldn't even have a job

Stoltz is a pretty good lecturer. You need to learn how to take notes quickly, he goes fast. His marking technique is very strict, do not put extra information down, be concise. Stoltz is real, and there is no BS in this man. However, I believe he resembles a badger.

Comment:
Dr Stoltz believes in terminology folks, so memorize those definitions. Also, if you pay attention first class he told you that. He marks hard, but is an excellent teacher, and an even better co-op advisor. Yes he has long nails, to play guitar with. He's great for advice and great for extra help.

Great prof. Effective and helpful. Has high standards, and can smell BS a mile away. Disagree with previous post about personality - he has tons. Questions? Drop by his office on Friday afternoon for beer, flamenco guitar, and good advice.

Not a ton of personality in this man. He is a very tough marker, but he does make that clear to you. Lectures are okay, and you must be very good at picking the important points out of it whether he mentions it once or repeats it 4 or 5 times.

Dr. Stolz was a picky marker but he let you know this the first class. His first test was really hard but the lab exam wasn't that bad. Pay attention and take good notes in the lecture and in the lab.

Comment:
Dr. Stoltz is a good guy but his teaching leaves much to be desired. Take good notes and listen to everything even if it doesn't sounds important cause his tests are brutal, although the lab exam isn't as hard as people say. However, I did enjoy that his leactures were never more than an hour. He is pretty good in the lab too. Mici majors: be sure.

At first appearance, Dr. Stoltz is a laid back easy-goin ****. As the course progresses he reveals his true self to students as an unbeliveable, unsympathetic, particular, and anal prick. He has an weening-out process to emotionally defeat undergraduates so they drop out of micro. Pay attention!

No matter how hard you study, he'll find some way to trick you or test you on material that you did not study...

Dr. Stoltz should not be a teacher, as passionate as he is about microbiology. He cannot explain concepts clearly and every question on his tests is asking for information that has not been made clear in classes.

I don't pay big bucks to be tricked in exams, and I find that's exactly what he does. No matter how much you know the material for his exams, your mark may not reflect that. My advice is to study hard- but pay attention to detail as well (he's huge on being PRECISE).

Although I agree that I have never been more shocked by my marks, he is teaching us this material because he is passionate about it and because he has a true desire to impart his knowledge. If you're in this to actually learn something, rather than just grades, you're in luck!

He is a really tough marker but he is fair and upfront about it, I had him for MICI 2100 as well and he is like this with everything but he tries to help and he has a great interest in what he teaches which makes it easier to learn
