Microbiology at OU

by TurnLeftSide Premium Member

Just wanted some advice. I took Microbiology at OU last fall and I got a C in it. The instructor, SW, had a thick accent and was very hard to understand. It was hard to understand what to focus on in lectures because he jumped all over the place. Just wondering if anyone took microbiology with him and would anyone recommend repeating it?

Why would you take it again with an incomprehensible Prof? Can you take the course somewhere else (and transfer it) or pick a different professor?

Nope. No other professor teaches it at the moment and I can't take it elsewhere. I'll see if there is someone else teaching micro in winter. Thanks.

I think there were a lot of people in my micro class at Macomb who were taking it there instead of OU, are you sure you can't take it at a different college?

You can take it at Wayne County Community for sure, and online, except labs are in house on Saturdays if you want......fyi.

Whoa........you must have been in class with me! I had him, too last fall. He was tough to understand, wasn't he? There is one other prof that teaches it at OU occasionally, but it's mostly SW. Personally, I think you should jump in again with him. The tests are are going to similar if not the same. You know what to expect with the questions.
Sit close to the front, and just take notes like mad.

So, must you take the class at OU? Are you getting your degree there?

I think if i retake it, it has to be taken at OU again. BLahh... You must have been in my class. Did you sit up front by that older woman who always interrupted class? It was crazy. I don't think I'm gonna retake it now. Maybe later. I just want to finish my chemistry so I can start taking the BSN courses. I'm taking an online computer class this fall. I'm gonna take Chem 104 in winter. Did you take that already? If so which prof. did you have?

Yes, I sat near the front, but on the side. That woman drove me a little cuckoo. She spoke aloud the whole time he was talking. Sometimes, we'd ask to stop, but she'd just get worse. When you take orgo/bio, try to get Jennifer Tillinger - very good prof.

I didn't take chem 104 at OU.

Ok, I'm hoping she teaches winter semester because I don't want to take the other chem professor.

When I was in Engineering school, I had an Advanced Engineering Math teacher (toughest math class in the curriculum) that had a major stutter problem. I swear to God, the first class right in the middle of it I got up and walked out, shaking my head. I wasn't the only one. I wrote a long letter to the Dean stating what a joke it was and the person that hired that instructor should be fired, along with the instructor. How do you hire a TEACHER that can't be understood? Seriously. I know there's a shortage of nursing teachers, but come on. Someone needs to draw a line somewhere.
