Comment:
I had Deters for BIOL 2050, he was my first college professor and was kinda boring in lectures. I went to the SI sessions and those helped me a bunch. I didnt really read the book, if you go to lectures, take notes, and attend the SI sessions youll get an A

Comment:
He used figures to explain points which was good, but many times he spent too long on one figure. I lost interest easily.

Comment:
He is extremely redundant. Spends more time talking about "what we're going to talk about" than the actual notes on the screen. He says everything he needs to say in about 6 different, yet boringly similar, ways. Rambles on until the last minute of class, having taught very little. Hint: I'm currently in his class and doing this to stay awake.

He is by no means an easy professor, but if you go to class and read your text book before exams you'll be fine. If you have questions it's a great idea to ask him. He can clarify easily. Great class!

I love Dr. Deters! He is a very nice and friendly man who wants his students to succeed. Always willing to help in office hours. However, be forewarned - he will not coddle you. You must read the material, attend the lectures, work at the labs, and learn the concepts. Microbiology isn't easy but you will learn if you apply yourself!

Difficult to understand during lecture, kind of jumps between topics. Once you pay attention and look through all of his posted notes and the book, everything makes sense. He's not completely terrible but definitely not easy.

I had to take microbiology with Deters twice. I am not highly interested in microbiology but I needed it to graduate. The first time I received a D but the second time I received a B, but not without putting a lot of effort into my grade. STUDY EVERY SINGLE LITTLE THING IN THE NOTES. The tests are awful. Good luck!

BIO 2050- Good professor. All notes are posted online and used to make the exam. Exams are difficult, to do well on them go to class and pay attention. He gives his all to make it interesting but rambles about nothing too much. Overall not a bad prof

Posts all his lecture notes for download, then uses them to write tests. Does his best to answer questions, even if they're irrelevant. All you need to do to pass a Deters class is attend and pay attention. (That means NOT spending the entire lecture on facebook pretending to be taking notes)

Microbiology- I barely passes with a C and I would consider myself 'smart'. Micro is a difficult subject so blame cannot be laid just on the prof. However, test extremely difficult. Meet in his office early for help.

Really nice. Tests were too hard for this class and what you needed to know for them was vague, but I probably should have gotten a very high C and he gave me a B. If the notes say something about e. coli --KNOW IT!

His tests are ridiculously hard! barley passed this class with a C. You'd probably be better off with ANY other teacher unless you are a super smart. if you suck at bio, like me dont take him!!

Deters is really a sweet guy and i think he tries really hard but in a lecture about biology i think it is had to make anything interesting so needless to say his lectures are boring.

Worst professor I've ever had! I've always been the good student who stays awake in class, but I find it EXTREMELY hard to stay awake. He is so boring and he makes no sense. His tests cover material he never even talks about, which is frustrating considering he said the only material on the test is in the notes. DO NOT TAKE HIM!

The head of the bio. dept. gave me the "advice" of going to another teacher to help me understand things...isn't that the job of the teacher whose class I'm attending? TERRIBLE,TERRIBLE,TERRIBLE!!!

He is a very bad professor. Good luck staying awake in his class. His class average on his exams were a 26 out of 50 and your notes/book will not help you on any of his tests. Try to do your best in your lab because it is your only chance.

Deters is horrible. I hate attending class and I don't even feel it's usefull whatever he talks about goes in one ear and out the other. His tests are ridiculous and have nothing to do with the notes or book chapters. I have to get a tutor for this class.
