"I didn't realize how much I would like microbiology until I took this course." (Anonymous student feedback from 2019)

I always left the classroom curious and ready to return and learn some more." (Anonymous student feedback from 2020)
"There was a lot of material to be learned in one semester, but I believe that the workload was perfect. The lessons flowed throughout the semester, so it was super easy to take previously learned material and apply it to the material that we were learning." (Anonymous student feedback from 2020)

"Dr. Cabeen is by far the best professor I have ever had. He is so passionate about what he does that it makes the class so enjoyable and a great environment. I love how he uses analogies to help clarify different processes." (Anonymous student feedback from 2022)
"Cabeen made coming to class fun. He was always super enthusiastic to teach, and he knew a lot of information about the course material. Out of my 13 years of education, Cabeen is my favorite educator that I have ever had. He is extremely nice, and whenever anyone had a question, he was eager to answer it. It was obvious that he knew what he was talking about. He made the assignments and tests to cover only what was taught in lecture which was a wonderful aspect of the class. I will definitely take another course with him." (Anonymous student feedback from 2019)
