I love how she explain the concepts, it makes easy to remember it.
I like it very much ! This particular lecture is very complex and brilliant way of presenting by a doctor Vincent Racaniello.
This man has made microbiology really easy for me to revise I like him so much because he is knowledgeable and calm. I definitely don't dislike anything about him I will recommend to my colleagues medical students
so far I have been enjoying the course, would love to go back and continue when I'm not so occupied
Fantastic series on HIV/AIDS - Lectures share exactly what students need to be aware of when caring for patients with HIV and/or AIDS. Thank you, Rhonda. I always feel confident I will master the information when I see your face.
The lecture was easy to understand, very thorough and comprehensive. Appreciate this. Thank you very much!
on of the best lecture thanks to professor and lecturio also
The lectures are quite informative and clearly presented. It's like I'm attending a class for the very first time since I've taken an extended break from studying microbiology but I am confident that I will do well
Dr. Rcaniello has very good lecture, easy to understand and a pleasure to watch! The tone is calm and the explanation are so detailed and well explained! Thank you!
Rhonda was very engaging and fun. She made it very easy to learn. Information was very clear and organized. I would definitely recommend it.
The lecture was apt, the lecturer demonstrated a great understanding of the topic discussed
Great explanations ! More drugs please ! Dr. Lawes does a great job at explaining all mechanisms!
Very good explanation by Dr. Vincent Racaniello. Clear and precise language and can be well understood by laymen. Pretty impressive work. Highly recommended.
I am a student Nurse, and this program has saved my life, THank you!!
I love it that I get a clearer view of the topic. The lecture is straightforward. Yes, I would recommend to others
Super simple and short! Great introduction to bacteriology and covers the major points.
I am updating my knowledge base in microbiology as I dive into teaching the course on a more regular basis than before. The information presented in these videos is concise, delivered well by Dr. Racaniello, and given in small chunks that make it easy to stop and come back at a later time.
He explain so easy and make it fun to learn ! For me it’s better to watch videoes than read, and I like that I could watch the basics for the midterms before I start read !;)
I had a great time learning! It was short and very concise lecture series but I haven't able to keep going, I can't afford to pay the premium. Makes me sad because it helped me a lot. :(
Makes the tough subject easier to understand . This app has shown very beneficial. I think I will buy the year subscription after my 3 months are up
Excellent content, well delivered. Great review for me since it has been over a year since I took microbiology.
It's give simple explanation,easy to understand, Pharma is difficult to study but it helps us, thanks for app.
Microbiology is a founding block of all things medical. Professor Racaniello made not so easily pronounceable words sound so easy. His pace and style being so pleasant, he made it attractive for me to sit and focus start to end. I look forward to more of his lectures.
They are chunked in small amounts and presented very clearly. The visuals are excellent and the professor’s pace is terrific.
The lectures are well explained and he made it easy for understanding the microbiology concept
simplest and clear and touch the point figure help in understand
This professor is just excellent, and gives some tricks how to remember key concepts ! Plain and Simple ! Thanks.
waste of time for usmle prep highly dont recommend. thats it
high yield info, the overview is excellent and helped me towards the exams.
Coming from someone that has never taken microbiology before, I feel as if it's explained simply without All the fluff, especially for a “Ph.D.,” which, from my experience, makes things more complicated than they need to be when giving lectures and quizzes. Ex. When I take the quiz at the end of each lecture I understand what the question is asking, and I'm able to respond Accordingly. This is what's missing in the science classes that I taken at the Schools I've attended.
It reminded me of most important concepts of the microbiology.
Good explanation of the drugs side effects, also very complete
Very good information and I’m learning well knowledge which is helpful for my learning
Very easily explained, great course content. Review videos are easy to access, in case the questions were not answered correctly.
I find these lectures informative and entertaining. The lecturer has creative use of vocal inflection to help the learner remember critical information.
Thank you for this video, loved how concise and precise it was!
Thank you, dear professor for amazingly informative and interesting lectures
Great teacher. Well explained. Learning outcomes well defined and all comprehended.
Enjoyed the format for this and other Lecturio classes. Graphics are concise. Instructor is very good at explaining concepts
The content but also the Professor Vincent Racaniello, he is convincing , spacing and detailing what is needed to be captured.
Very good resume, clear and simple. Help for the revisions
good lecture explaining everything about: Anti-HIV Agents: Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NsRTIs) – Antiviral Drugs
Love the lectures and reviews and quizzes and the fact that you can repeat for more clarification.
Great explanation!! The content is explained in an effective and simplest manner
While watching this lectures I got the concepts way clearer than in my past semester, I like it is simplified, no need to explain the needless details, just what’s precise. I would recommend this course and already have
I like how simply the medications and diseases are taught. It is easier than my schooling and helps with my test grades.
better way of making it very interesting,short lectures. easily understable
Thank you for interesting and engaging lectures. (The fifth generation cephalosporin can treat MRSA, I find it very cool!)
This lecture was great! I could understand what the professor was explaining and I understood it pretty well.
Excellent, clear, interesting and informative presentation which facilitates comprehension and memory of essential material.
Your doing an amazing job explaining the course. Thank you for sharing!!!
would really like to have a quiz to take. Great job explaining the material
I like it becauser it was very helpful & simple .. I like the translate sevice it so helpful as well. Thanks a lot lecturio
The lesson plan was short, sweet, and Informative. Would recommend.
The lecture went a little fast for me, but it was OK. The problem I had was that the mobile app would interrupt the lecture with quizzes on the material before the instructor taught it. Is this intentional? I found it very frustrating.
the tone of voice and eye contact good just like in a classroom
It helps me alot to memorize the things..Thanku so much for such an amazing work ..it was really helpfull for me
The lecturer speaks clearly and is engaging. The material is presented quite well - in a logical manner. I feel the material could go in a bit more depth (but perhaps later lectures will). I would probably give this series 5 stars, however, I'm currently studying for the USMLE, and I feel half or more of the review questions are extremely low-yield. For example, there are questions about which section of a plant does a specific fungus infect. That's okay to test understanding of the lecture material presented, but I don't want to have that type of question included in my "Spaced Repetition" for memorization. It's a real waste of my limited time and brain space. Please ither remove the low-yield questions, or perhaps a better (and faster) option would be to add an option to turn off the "dumb" questions.
This classes are so much fun! I remember know thing that I though I forgot, she helps with the analogies and the fun, i really like her as a theacher. Wonderfull job, and thank you!
I llike it very much, every single class is easy, fu, and practical
Can I get a bachelor's degree in pharmacy if I have finished all the lessons?
I can't rate five stars to all the classes due to the time, eventually I will. Thank you Dr. Virtual hugs from Mexico.
Yes, I will recommend it. Very useful and easy to understand
I spent weeks reading and trying to understand from the books but these lectures made it so easy to understand, I also love the fact that it keeps on asking questions so you can remember them. Thank you so much for these lectures, I love them.
It helps me a lot to study the topic. Well covered! EXCELLENT!
I've taken classes from Dr. Racaniello previously on the coursera.org platform. He is a very engaging instructor and he is no different in this Lecturi series, at least for the free part. As a citizen scientist, the full cost is too much so for this series I can only comment on the bacteria sections that are free. The quiz questions are very relevant to the material presented and the reference material is equally good.
Its apt for 2nd yrs....simple and all main points are given.
I am a new Nursing student and with Lecturio I am learning a lot of new topics and getting a good foundation for my program. Especially in this Covid crisis, Lecturio is God sent. Thank you
The lectures as it is are very good however I wish they are more in detail and drug specific
Professor is very clear, and questions are accurate. I am learning lots of basic stuff about antibiotics
El programa ya se me acaba en dos meses, estaría muy interesada de volver a comprar si tuviesen en español y tambien como estudiante me ayudaría mucho un descuento
i chose this rating because the lecture is up to the minute, well researched. and the presentation is straight to the point.
Great lecturer. Ms. Lawes explains things clearly and concisely, while tying in concepts from other areas of study. This makes the learning experience richer and more complete. Thank you so much!!!
He is so natural , after topic explanation he then takes example of daily life, easy to understand
Dear Pravin Shukle, Thank you and thanks to Lecturio. I am writting from Turkey. Accorrding to the sistem here after 6years of medical school training we take an exam(TUS) in order to be able to continue specialization in diferent branch of medicine. Most of the questions in that exam were about points you emphasized on your lecture.
Thanks for the lecture, but I have a question regarding gram + bacterias, isn't Neisseria Gonorrhea the flora that causes gonorrhea ? to my knowledge it's a diplococcus and it's gram-negative, does it means that penicillins are also like similar in action just like cephalosporins especially the third generational ones?
Learning with Lecturio is very easy for me because it is simplified, organized and medically relevant. Thumbs up.
With the exception of the drugs my Professor chose this goes right along with our in class lecture!
Microbiology is explained very clearly in a interesting manner its no doubt an interactive method of teaching!!!
Brings together a balanced and complete picture of the usefulness and pathologies caused microorganisms.
Quick n essentials...thanx alot...????????see u in other lectures ....it is very nice that you back bone with firstaid
the reason chooses this rating regarding pop up AD, I am not ready yet. I need more time to think about what my work schedule to fit my study and payments.
great lecture there. simplified as usual. thank you. i really enjoyed it
Best class in protein synthesis inhibitors I have ever watched. Thank you!
Well-designed and informative I would recommend that the quiz questions can be more effective. For example, some answers are just memorizing names or some details that are only noted orally for few seconds.
I have greatly enjoyed watching Dr. Shukle’s lectures. They are short but with tons of info that makes the subject so much easier to understand. It cleared up so many things for me. Thank you Dr. Shukle!
I'm studying for step 1, but this professor is much more in-depth and relates the meds to possible questions. rather than just reading from a slide.
The vedios don't cover many important aspects such as cultures , serology etc. Every topic is over summarised and isn't very good for concept building
I think these videos are good enough for us to learn.
She breaks it down and I absolutely love it. I got 100% on my last pathopharm quiz bc of this video. I use it as a supplement to my textbook and PowerPoint. Can’t wait for them to add more nursing courses. Will definitely be get a subscription once it’s all available.
sir , the way you talk about microbes ,inspire me to learn more.
Really clear explanation, and really easy to understand! I’m lovin’ it
?wesome lectures, everything I need to prepare for the exams and use in my clinical practice!
Thank you. Good lecture with good content. Quite helpful for some basic information regarding this subject.
I love the lectures so much. I like trip on steroids I never have consumed lol. However. I think it would be great if they had the ten second mark or arrow so that it would rewind or fast forward the lecture. It’d Save time just like you tube videos and stuff. Thank you kindly
The Best Antimicrobial Pharmacology ever seen. IT is explained so well. I love IT.
A calm and organized lecture made in a way that is easy to recollect with the start and end saying what we are going to learn and what we have learned.
Thank you, this is helping me so much. I love these videos.
It is very audible, good sound system, analysed with pictures and really more defined
nice course, almost complete and informative. Liked the practice and case studies very much. they make you better put things in a context. i would love to have more of them. Plus, would love to help out in finding a mnemonic and strategies memorizing relevant characteristics and specifications to drugs
enjoyed the lecture, I would love one on the legalities of pharm and the laws for prescribing
This actually was an amazing lecture. Made me understand a lot of issues around Gentamycin.
Very nice lectures! Focuses on the need-to-know things that have clinical relevance.
Assalam-o-Alikum! Sir your lectures are very informative and its my humble request kindly give us access to download these lectures because lots of time taken by lecture due to internet problem plz try to understand and give us access of downloading
All lectures are brief and to the point . The lecturer uses examples to help reinforce important points about the drugs. He uses humour to keep the lecture interesting and engaging. I would recommend this to everyone as their go -to pharmacology tutorial course.
Just want to say that this lecturer is gold. He speaks clearly, does not refer to items not present on the slide (thus confusing the learner), and excellent at teaching. Really enjoying all your lectures Dr. Shukle.
Dr. Shukle has a great tone and lays emphasis on what's considered high yield for exam. I like examination oriented lecturers who constantly open your eyes to those things that are frequently tested.
Hello! I have not finished all the course so I can not give you a proper feedback. but so far I really liked it and it has been quite useful. Thanks.
very well explain and illustrate! The information match perfectly the pictures and the speed of the expositor is flawless.
Thank you very MUCH. I learned a lot. He presents the lectures in a very understandable way. I appreciate him a lot. I became so excited while listening to his presentation. Thank you, thank you, and thank you. God bless you.
It's really helping me getting the basic understanding. And the tips for surviving medical school is worth to try.
I studied the lectures for NBME Microbiology as a supplement to the other material. It was very helpful and I strongly recommend these lectures by Dr. Shukle.
It is well presented and informative. I like that it is concise and emphasizes on what we really need to know.
Lecturio is one of the BEST online medical education website providing authentic resources for a FULL spectrum of medical specialties. The lecturers at Lecturo have full command on their subjects and make it very easy to understand even the difficult and complicated issues. Dr. Maqsood Ali MBBS, MRCGP, DTCD, FCCP
I really like the detailed lectures and how they break it down so it can be understood easily.
Need area of study in ref to Family a nurse a Practitioner for state exam
Estudié medicina hace muchos años y las cosas han cambiado enormemente desde entonces. La aproximación a la clínica se me hace cada vez más difícil sin una vuelta a las bases y en eso el Dr. Racaniello ha sido extraordinariamente clasificador.
Can you please consider including the doses and half life's of *all* the drugs
Thank you so much It was really useful and helpful
i will recommend this lecture on this topic because i was failling to undestand but after this tutorial i am confident
hello Lecturio Im from Philippines Im so happy that I came to find this very knowledgeable site where I can learn sruffs related to my course which is Pharmacy.
He is a great professor. He takes all his time to explain the topics.
That's so great! The lecture is so simple to understand. Thanks PhD!
like it very much thank you Pravin Shukle for this course
I loved the lecture so much! But sir, isn't there something called as fifth generation cephalosporins? And please please pleaaaase add more questions to each chapter. Only 3 questions per chapter is not enough. Please consider this sir.
Very clear and concise material!!! easy to understand and remember with great association with the clinical part.Really helpful for everyone who didn't want to waste their time with boring teacher in the classroom.
Very effective. All money spent is worth it. Highly recommended.
Thorough, organized, not only important for exams but also very much applicable on daily basis in patient care.
The lecturer is really good in explaining the concepts and has really great clarity. It feels so good to listen to him and understand the underlying pharmacological principles
I would like to recommend all the USMLE and other medical exam preparing candidates to go through the Lecturio because the lectures are concise and easy to understand.
This is in my opinion the perfect way of building up lectures: Starting out with introduction to all different groups. Followed by details in all groups and ending with questions, so that you are sure you can use the knowledge you have just gained.
Videos were superb able to knw the concept very well.please upload more videos of individual parasites bacteria & fungus
much more questions needed for every video, more then few in the end of every thema
Professor Racaniello is engaging. He really has made the study of microbiology enjoyable. This is the best Lecturio course I've taken to date. He has captured my interest. I'm looking forward to the more advanced microbiology course that I'll be taking in a couple of weeks. I would also love to see a Lecturio course on the microbiome, which I feel deserves a program of its own. This alone could be a 12 hour course.
Crisp and clear presentation. Easy to follow. Well organized bullet points.
It cleared my mind about bacteria and it's morphological properties & distinguishments etc. Awesome! Thank you!
Super clear lectures, covering all of the basics you need for the mcat. Speaks a little slowly, but nothing that the 1.5x button can't fix.
I'm currently taking Microbiology and Lab. It is nice to be able to catch another lecture. The Lecturio lectures are actually more informative than the classroom. I am pleased with what I have learned and I know I will get the better grade.
Everything is clearly explained and it makes it simple to learn.
I enjoy watching these lectures.. it doesn't bore me as a class lecture:P
