I’m here after getting a bad score on my microbiology exam

[DesiraeElaine]

This. This is what I needed. Thank you so much. This is the first video I’ve watched that actually goes into details regarding microbiology with examples instead of just a general “how I study.” This is going to help a lot this semester 😌

Hi, I am a 3rd year med student in Belgium and I just wanted to say thank you ! For your tips and for sharing your classification schemes!! It really helps and I find myself enjoying microbiology lately :)

[senioracademia]

As per your usual advice "to understand the general principles of the subject first" your video swiftly hit on the core of the subject too. On point and very well said, thank you!

[xenzif]

Here watching for tomorrows exam after realizing I cannot study everything in bacteriology in one night.

[rebecca_bracke]

those schemes are super helpful I don't need to learn everything on them but wow so generous of you !!!! :))))

[Sogenking]

Ur talking about a memory castle ..


Anyways I find drawing and taking notes helps because it’s two separate things not just one.

I love microbiology. As a medical doctor and a PhD candidate in pathobiology specializing clinical microbiology and infectious disease at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, I find this field truly amazing, offering diverse career paths."
