I am taking microbiology at the moment for nursing school. I understand this class can be difficult. Glad I found your channel. Instantly subscribed. Thanks Dr. Wells

I’m taking Microbiology this fall and I’m preparing myself for it. This is very helpful in getting a head start in this world of microorganisms. I work full time as a nurse and I’m trying to advance my degree. Not a lot of time and very busy. I just want to say thank you and to please keep making more videos like this. I appreciate this well thought out and well explained video especially for a non traditional student like me.

I´m introducing myself in the microbiology because i found out that this is what i wanna study, and this is just a blessing. thanks yo so much professor

Dr. Wells, when I’m in doubt during my general classes, I look at your lecture to remind me the direction I’m going towards.

I finally understood chapter 1. I wish we have more teachers like Dr. Wells

This was a fun video to watch and brought back many great memories. I obtained my medical microbiology degree just over 40 years ago. There have been many new advances in the field since I graduated. For any student pursuing a microbiology degree, just remember that several chemistry courses are a requirement. I took 3.5 years of chemistry for graduation. I ended up with a minor in chemistry and if I would have pursued a few extra classes I would have had a double major. Best wishes & good luck to all the students!

@Dr. Wells
Thank you so much for this! I am taking microbiology right now, my professor doesn't have any video for lectures. We basically are on our own, I felt so lost until I saw this video! I have my first exam for micro Saturday morning, so I feel a little better now that I found this video! Please, please make more.

Doc, you r the shizzzt. I'm starting Micro Bio in May, just took Chem 1033 and Lab for the first time in life, that was tough as a mother, but I knocked them out with A's. I need another two A's for Micro bio and lab. Hopefully this will give me a great head start, thankyou for dedicating the time to make this👍✌

I watched the entire two hours and enjoyed it. Thank you very much!

[breadcrumms]

I was studying microbiology because I'm a science nerd and this is just what I needed thanks

[nigyarsinan]

I enjoyed the whole lecture. Thank you for making it available for us!

[sandraavee]

I’m currently taking microbiology this semester. This video is easy to understand and I’m hooked. I watched the whole video.Thank you!!!!🙏🏻

[dwicandrapratiwi]

I'm your biggest fan, Dr. Wells!
Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for the video Doctor. I'm getting into microscopy and need to relearn (had some community college in the late 80s) some microbiology & a bit more on botany, bugs (to cover all the insect like critters).

The worst thing about learning on your own is the gaps in knowledge, but the good thing is you can switch to other fields. Thankfully people like you are helping people like me be able to get evidence based science classes/lectures.

EDIT: just peeked at some of the other lab and bio stuff you have have. I'm sitting here drooling like Homer over a donut.

It’s a great lecture I found on YouTube. I’m planing to take micro this summer 2022 I’m preparing myself, now I’m taking Chemistry and history study micro at same time.Thank you!!!!

This video introduced all the microbiology detailedly and fundamentally, which is suitable for the beginning learner.

[jerichocarena]

Thank you for this! I have a microbio subject this sem and I had a hard time looking for a good lecture video.

[kurezekiel]

Dr. Juliet you are absolutely an amazing lecturer. Thank you very much for your owesome microbiology lecture 🙏🙏

[mvsoma]

Poor Semmelweis, rest in peace. Just wanted to say I'm really enjoying your lecture! Thank you for bringing clarity to Microbiology.

[haileycrawford]

Thank you. I learned more from this video than what my class provided me.
