246-427-402 Clinical Immunology FALL 2001

Part A
Text for this class is terrified. I wish I had never read it. It just confused the class material
Part B
The inability to communicate by concepts lead to my not enjoying this class. The
instructor was very knowledgeable but needs to develop an efficient teaching style.
Exam and evaluation were graded a bit too hard. Yet instructor seems to be pain with
grading process.

Part B
I felt this course was poorly instructed. A textbook was required for this class, however
the instructor rarely used it. All diagrams came from a different source. What is the
point? The content of the course was very specific, for a one semester immunology class
information should have been presented more generally- students would probably have
gotten more on it if they didn’t spend the whole time writing notes down from overhead.
Lastly, you should be more considerate to your student. Your choice of words and action
were not always appropriates.

Part A.
The course was very hard. There was a lot of material in which the instructor presented
us with and not enough time.
Part B
The notes could have been handed out, which made us to spend a lot of time.

Part B
Exams were unfair, and there were so many note that I couldn’t follow along in class,
which made it harder to study. Professor was very energetic the subject matter

Part B
He needs to realize that this is an undergraduate course and not teach us on the level of
graduate students. The pace was too fast for the material he was teaching us.

Part B
Class always late, huge amounts of material given to us but no guidance on what was
important. Test very vague and sometimes not coseponding to material given. Not
responsible to students questions in class, almost mean when question is worked.

PART A. COMMENTS: COURSE EVALUATION

The course contained a lot of information. The subject amount was more overwhelming than the
subject matter.

The text book in no way followed the topics discussed in lecture

good course, a great amount of material to digest in short period of time

PART B. COMMENTS: INSTRUCTOR EVALUATION

Prof. Azenabor is very enthusiastic about Immunology. Lectures were never dull & very
informative.

He needs to speak slower & more clearly.

less essay

Anthony is often hard to understand due to his accent. Also, it was hard to read his hand writing
on the board at times.

PART A. COMMENTS: COURSE EVALUATION

I personally learned a lot from case studies packets. However, presentations allowed me to
practice public speaking.

Liked doing case studies but I think that concentrating on one case does not help as much as
doing multiple case studies. There were too many presentations.

PART B. COMMENTS: INSTRUCTOR EVALUATION

Dr. Azenabor gave 3x the work that was expected and I really didn’t get much out of his
sessions.

PART B. COMMENTS: INSTRUCTOR EVALUATION

• Very difficult to understand him – we spent more time trying to figure out what he was
saying than the concepts he was teaching
• Grading scale on tests = needs to be better clarified
• Exam material doesn’t reflect all materials presented

Summer 2003

PART A. COMMENTS: COURSE EVALUATION

I liked the handouts that were given to us in class, they were helpful in studying and will
be helpful to refer back to for boards. I also appreciated the review list, but it would have
been helpful to have the review list several days to a week before the test.

The course was very condensed.

Too much material in too short of a time

Too much to learn in such short time. Lectures were too fast to even understand what
was being said

The parasitology portion of the class had way too much information for a 2 week call

PART B. COMMENTS: INSTRUCTOR EVALUATION

I don’t feel this instructor teaches at an appropriate difficulty level. He is very difficult to
understand and he doesn’t clearly explain the concept. I really do not enjoy having this
professor.

Instructor was not cooperative at all with students. His lecture Presentation Notes were
extremely difficult to read and he often went too fast to copy the notes. When students
asked him to please slow down (since we had no book and our exams were written essays
taken from the notes,) he usually would not slow his pace & then would lecture us on
proper note taking techniques! It wouldn’t have been so bad, if he would have listened to
the student’s requests. It seemed as though there was a lot of unneccessary frustration
created in an already difficult course.

Not everyone is as intelligent as you are therefore being rushed made things very stressful
& tense.

Lectures were hard to understand. Overheads & notes were not very legitible.

He DID NOT! understand when we asked him to slow down so we could keep up.
Would just say ‘you don’t need to know that’ and took it off the screen. I hate going to
this class and am glad it’s over!

The instructor was presenting the material on the 1st day a little too fast and the whole
class asked him to please slow down and proceeded faster! He said we weren’t writing
fast enough! BAD – this was very discouraging. It is hard to understand the professor
because he is foreign & when he talks fast it is even harder!

He did not seem concerned at all with the classes ability to understand the material or
him. All he was concerned about was finishing the book in 2 weeks, one that we were
not required to have or even have the option to buy.

Course #: 246-427-001
Fall 2004

PART A. COMMENTS: COURSE EVALUATION

Course content was challenging, but the format of the exams made it harder. Instead of
exam essay questions being worded “Tell about this,” it would be better to be prompted
with more specific questions. Otherwise, we have to memorize whole paragraphs, and
short term memory questions like that do not help us remember the material in the long
run.

Too much information at a time. If you are going to ask questions out of a book – make
it available to the students!

I think the course is fine and the material were understandable

The lecture notes were helpful w/ the material, but the length of time we spent copying
notes was not a good use of time, it would have been easier to concentrate if taking notes
on powerpoint or outlines instead of ___(illegible). Also we were always rushed to write
everything fast & the class went over time 5-10 min. every class. The exam reflected the
lecture, but the multiple choice part of the exams was not fair- it was straight from the
book, & taken randomly from chapters – so it was hard to study for – also,the books is
necessary & the instructor told us it was not and did not have the book available in the
bookstore until a month into the course. The multiple choice questions were taken
directly from the book – so it was a disadvantage not to have the book until a month into
the course.

The course was extremely fast pased & amount of material that had to be remembered for
one exam was extremely difficult while having other classes. I feel there was too much
expected. Course was organized well.

I think that the textbook that was only “recommended” for class should have been
required since the material that was presented in class came straight from the book.

This course went way to quickly for the amount of material that was taught. You could
almost break this up into two semesters.

The detailed course content seemes to be at a graduate level instead of undergraduate in

some situations. I do not feel this level of detail will be necessary in a MED Tech
profession. This course is more appropriate for those continuing onto research or
advanced degrees.

Testing style is very good. It covers a lot of material but it is a good amount. It forms a
great basis of knowledge.
Course should be changed to reflect clinical immunology applications not research
immunology (or biochemistry)

While this course covered a lot of topics, I don’t feel like it was a whole course. It
jumped around a lot and coming out of it, I feel like I know som concepts but I don’t
have a good overall immunology understanding. The instructor picked topics he likes
instead of giving us the wide picture.

If we are to be tested & expected to memorize all the details he expected us to, I would
want the class to be 2 semesters in length.

PART B. COMMENTS: INSTRUCTOR EVALUATION

Professor sometimes tends to go a little fast.

I didn’t like the way the instructor spoke at length about a topic & then put the notes on
the overhead so we had to hurry to write them down. It would have been better to do
them simultaneously. Also, I didn’t like the format of the notes – usually in paragraph
form almost verbatim from the text book. The exams were sometimes too long. They
didn’t test our knowledge, but how fast we could write & memorize exact passages from
the notes.

Professor Azenabor was very enthusiastic about the material which is good but he would
talk for 15 minutes on a particular subject, then put up a huge page of notes and only give
you 5 minutes to write them. When some of the students asked him to put it back up, he
did not but called our class slow and made us feel rather stupid. We are here to learn; if
we knew the material already, we wouldn’t be here. Perhaps he should talk about the
notes while we write or just work on being less rude.

There were many points during the semester when he said that we needed to keep up the
pace and learn the material quickly, he probably just wanted to encourage us but it made
for a difficult learning environment. He has to realize that with his accent he is hard to
understand and he must slow down his speaking accordinetly.

Memorizing book paraphrases to be regeratate in essay format does little in teaching

applications great for mechanisms

Instructor cannot teach, cannot communicate well with students, instructor expects us to
listen to him talk while he puts 100 million pages of notes on board. That we must copy
because he does not follow a text book. But that is impossible. The only thing I learned
in this class was how to write fast

Needs to remember that students cannot write as fast as someone can talk. Slow down a
little bit. He did not leave class room for evaluation.
A suggestion is to provide the course notes on D2L and save this time in class for
interactive class discussions about the topics and how they relate to our future clinical lab
sciences professions. The instructor was always very enthusiastic. Overall, I enjoyed him
as a teacher but the class structure could have been better utilized.

Firstly, he did NOT leave the room as I filled out this evaluation, lending itself to a bad
situation. I would also suggest having Dr. Azenabor put his notes onto D2L or
someplace where they are accessible, he goes way to fast and makes it impossible to
really comprehend what is going on because all you’re doing is rushing to get the notes.
The exams were challenging and fair, but the grading was a bit questionable as he
stressed things in his grading that he didn’t really stress in class.

I appreciate the material more when Dr. Azenabor lectures on important material and
then allows us to take notes. A lot of times, it seems we go through the material too fast
and are expected to keep pace. Dr. Azenabor is in the room during this evaluation. A
postitive point is that he is very energetic & enthusiastic.

Instructor showed enthusiasm for the topic & knew the subject very well. Moved
through materials so fast it was hard to undertand it and I could never listen to what was
being said because I was too busy writing. Also, instructor said students were too slow or
weren’t going fast enough while we were all writing our arms off!

The instructor had the ability to explain the material clearly and in an effective way

Overall, he was a decent instructor, but with regards to writing/taking notes, I thought he
was a little demanding. He would talk about the notes & put them up on the board
expecting us to copy them “quickly” and would complain sometimes that we were not
fast enough. I think the notes should be on the overhead when he’s talking. It would
make writing easier.

He was difficult to understand at times. I feel he talked down to the students and made
questions & comments unwelcomed because student were always wrong in answering.
The note taking was excessive & very fast paced – there was not time to digest the
material before he would continue to the next topic. I feel it inhibited a lot of learning
that could have been done during class time…when you give evaluations out, LEAVE
THE ROOM!

The instructor had enthusiasm for the material, but otherwise he was very
unapproachable and it was very frustrating to try to talk to him talking about grades or
course material. It was a very frustrating course due to the instructors attitude and the
note taking (fast pace) in class, also the exams were not clear. The questions were very
general – yet he wanted specific answers – so it was hard to study & answer the questions
w/out knowing what he was looking for. I learned a lot about immunology, but it was not
a good learning experience, I would not recommend this course to other students.

PART A. COMMENTS: COURSE EVALUATION

Need clear objectives, points of true importance/things that need to be learned in order to excel.

Content didn’t reflect the material we should have learned about.

Material didn’t seem relevant.

The handouts were good. Reading assignments might help. A couple of short quizzes
throughout the semester might encourage students to review the materials more often.

PART B. COMMENTS: INSTRUCTOR EVALUATION

Needs to learn how to emphasis and make known points he considers important. Needs to
clarify his expectations or question and answers he finds acceptable. Needs to become a better
presenter – consisting his power points and once again – emphasizing the thing or ideas he
finds important.

Maybe his exams would go over better if the words “diagram your answer” were included with
each question.

Explanation of what your expectation are on exams would be helpful. Paragraphs of information
was hard to decipher what info. went with what info.

He knew his stuff but it would be nice for him to also refer a book in which he get his material.

It would be helpful to have power point slides available.

Instructor was very organized and challenging. Presented material in a way which makes the
class think and learn.

Expects us to take too many notes in not enough time. Handouts would be nice.

Title: Medical Parasitology and Mycology
Summer 2005

PART A. COMMENTS: COURSE EVALUATION

I would like to see you take a little more effort to write exam questions. Just writing
down topics does not make it an exam.

There was too much material to cover in a 2 week course.

Lots of info to learn, stressful.

OK

Interesting topic

This course was very frustrating (the lecture) and a waste of time.

PART B. COMMENTS: INSTRUCTOR EVALUATION

He wouldn’t give us any feedback on our grades. I had no idea if I passed or failed.

Instructor was much more confident and excited about Parasitology. He was not as
confident and I don’t think he enjoyed mycology and thus it was less interesting to listen
to him talk about Mycology.

I cannot believe you would not give us feedback on the first exam! How are we
supposed to know how to prepare for the next exam. It was a rotten rotten thing to do!
You are the worst instructor I have ever had at three major universities.

Lecture word for word from textbook made class very boring. I could have read the book
and learned more than coming to class.

Good job keeping class interested.

Dr. Azenabor has very high expectations for his students. He grades his exams in a very
difficult way.

Terrible teacher, keep him in the lab.

I do not thin Prof. Azenabor should be allowed to teach students. He is too arrogant and
close-minded. He does not listen to students and would not allow us to know the grades
on exams or look at the exams. His attitude was disrespectful to students and even
threatening at times when arguing over exams. He even threatened to penalize 30 points
for arguing over subjects on an exam. (The students were and inconvenience to him) He
would not admit mistakes like not telling us about an exam questions and the students
lost the points. Also, the lecture was a complete waste of time. He photocopied the book
and read it word for word on the overhead. He did not appear knowledgeable at all and I
would have learned more by reading the text instead of attending lectures. His exams
were also unfair and did not show understanding of the material. It was how much one
could memorize his notes word for word and regurgitate them. I do not recommend this
course because of the instructor and would tell future students to take it at another
university – or any course he taught to take it at another university.

COMMENTS – PART A

It was very good course to understand immunology.

Good sometimes went too fast…

Less time focused on details & more time spent on the big picture would be very
beneficial. So much time is spent copying the notes that it is difficult to take time to
listen in class. There should also be more room to interpret & rephrase notes on tests
instead having to repeat them almost verbatim on exams.

Information was not always s totally clear.

The course covers all aspects of immunology. After attending all lectures, I now have a
good knowledge of many concepts of immunology. Which are going to be very useful in
my present and future research.

A lot of information in this course & writing! But the course was manageable and
concepts were brought together well.

COMMENTS – PART B

I hated the notes it was so much really fast that I spent all of lecture tying to get it all
down and not really listening to the professor. And its just bad to read everything off the
power point as an instructor in my opinion. Then gain more may have been added and I
just didn’t hear it. Also the exams were very long for the time allotted it was a fight to
get finished each time.

Excellent! It took him some time to reach a point of intereacting/being more laid back
with students. About ½ into the semester he ended up being my favorite instructor & I
was happy to attend all classes! Keep it up!

Much of the information given is speech was over powering by the amount of info on
screen.

The instructor demonstrated mastery of the subject. He presented lectures in a very

simplified manner and devoted enough time to explain the concepts to the understanding
of students. He has been very willing to receive questions from students even after
lectures.
Mostly good, only thing, professor went past class time a few times, when other students
had to leave to get to other classes, yet he still tested on these ideas that were presented
after class time was up, and sometimes it was 10-15 minutes after class time that
presentation continued.

The instructor was ineffective at communicating course material effectively.

I think you do an excellent job of teaching and maintaining interest, however, I feel I
could get more from you when you’re talking if a basic outline was provided to each of
us.

Dr. Azenabor tends to get excited and starts to rush through material a bit too fast.

He delivered the subject matter with a better excellence.

PART B. COMMENTS: COURSE EVALUATION

Timing if the presentations ended up well.

I did not appreciate that you were overbooked and our class overlapped w/ another class
you teach. We could have completed all case studies and presentations on thurs. if you
did not have to leave our class time for anothers.

I hate you for making me hate school. You may be a good researcher but you are the
worst instructor! You don’t teach, you grade unfairly and you don’t give feedback or test
results. If I had one wish, I would fire your ass and ban you from ever teaching again, so
you can’t ever put another student thru the hell you put me thru!!!

I really enjoyed the graduate students presenting their own lectures. It was interesting.

Course was very interesting and informative.

The course was informative and have both clinical and (illegible) blanace.

Excellent class!

A good review of virology.

With a topic as broad as virology I think that class time would be better utilized if the
power points contained information in a more concise form. The course should focus
more on viruses and less on chylamida.

COMMENTS – PART B
Instructor very good.

We needed handouts to keep up with the speed of the lecture.

Extremely knowledgeable on subject matter, always son point! Pleasure to come to class
