If you are going to take microbial physiology, do NOT take Battista. This class was far from being an introductory class. The exams were essay only, some of which were worth 30 points. STAY AWAY.

Dr. Battista's lectures are very intertaining but do not pretain to the tests. There is no book for the class and he changes the format of the test in the middle of the semester.

The material in this class is very interesting, and Battista makes sure that you need to have a deep understanding of the material in order to do well. You won't make it by just memorizing the notes

His tests are way too hard for an introductory virology course. He gives his "lab" workers special treatment if they're in his class by giving them test Q's bank, which is unprofessional.He's disrespectful to students.A fat mofo.
