Lecture notes are very detailed but she likes to ask ridiculous questions on the test that are very picky. Beware: she has multiple choice options such as "All the above, none of the above, two of the above". Memorize those notes back and forth. Lab is fun and easy. Lecture exams are difficult. This class broke my 4.0 :(

Sullivan wasnt too bad. If your taking micro its because it is required. For her tests you dont have to read the book. I know all of her reviews say to memorize the notes, and they are right you literally have to memorize the notes, the lab isnt too bad, way better than biol 1208 or 1209 just study a lot for mid term and final because they arent messing around. But yah straight memorize sullivans notes word for word, make notecards whatever but know her notes.

Dr. Sullivan was a great instructor and BIOL 3116 was by far the funnest and easiest upper level class I've taken so far. If youre a Microbiology major, this course is required but I would recommend it to biol majors also. Loved it.

You don't need the textbook. Just memorize the notes word-for-word. Know every detail (even the seemingly unimportant ones). You can get the notes off Noteswap. I never even read a paragraph in my textbook.
The tests have tricky wording, and sometimes require you to remember details. You must memorize all the details in the notes (eg what bacteria causes what disease). You must study very hard 3-4 days before the test. I suggest studying the weekend before. If you cram the night before, it will be hard to get an A.

Sullivan is great. Know the material inside and out for the tests (which is fair since she gives you EVERYTHING you need in her notes). She gives a 5 bonus opportunity for each test.

Hands down the easiest class I've ever taken at LSU. Virtually no outside time required. Review the notes once the night before the test and you have a guarenteed A. Sullivan is also hot.

Class moves so fast that you just find yourself filling in blanks rather than learning material. If you don't have time to study regularly like me, prepare to pull 8-10 hours studying the day before a test if you want an A.

In this class, i learned to take notes at light speed. I learned next to nothing. She taught nothing, only read lecture notes. Outside of class she is very nice though. Probably the worst professor i have ever had as far as TEACHING goes.

The exam questions are so much trickier than they need to be for this course. You can think you know the material well, but it ends up being a measure of whether or not you're a good test taker...kinda sucks if you're hoping for an A.
