MICHELLE RONDON

Microbio 102: Dr. Rondon grades very harshly, sometimes you would get points off because of minor differences from the answer key. I didn't feel welcomed or cared for around her. She is not someone I felt comfortable asking questions to. Wouldn't have taken this course if I didn't need it to graduate.

Exams were unnecessarily difficult; she never actually taught anything in lab, we learned everything from the lab notebook, and then got quizzed on it every lab with a pre-lab quiz. Very unhelpful when asking questions, and it made every answer seem obvious.

Professor Rondon is nice and knowledgeable; however, her quizzes and exams are way more challenging than an introductory course should be and are often unfair. There is very little additional material to help prepare you for exams which consists of a lot of fill in the blanks (with no word bank), short answers, matching, true/false, math etc.

I really enjoyed Microbiology 102, but honestly, her exams were written very unfairly. All of the questions on the exams were ambiguous, and the preparation for the exams was nonexistent. The materials given to "prepare" for lab were utterly useless and confusing. Also, she talked down to students every time anyone had a question in the lab.

Needed .7% more to keep my guaranteed spot in Pharmacy School and she refused to help me at all. I begged to do extra work, revise work etc and she said no every time. Normally I would understand this in the interest of fairness but her grading criteria is never clear and she finds any reason to take away points, do not recommend

She has clear criteria and is very straightforward about her expectations. She is very nice and answers questions in a helpful manner, just make sure to read and pay attention and stay caught up in the class and the concepts.
