Comment:

Extremely hard to follow and doesn't know how to explain things without messing up and having to start over. She is sweet outside of the classroom, but her exams are super hard. The textbook was the only good part of this class... as I went to lecture everyday and was unable to understand what she was saying.

Comment:

The subject is very interesting, but if it wasn't for the textbook, many people would have failed. She's a very nice lady, but it's hard to follow anything she says in class...

Comment:

She's a nice lady...but really eccentric...a little out of touch with reality...and AWFUL lectures. However, fair tests and problem sets, class is not a complete waste of time and her antics are entertaining.

I thought the class was good, and the prof was honest... a little scattered but very interested in her work... Easy tests, if you know your stuff... don't blame her if you got a bad mark... you should have studied more

extremely smart, but extremely bad at teaching. her lectures are scattered and she tends to go off on tangents. she adds nothing to the course but confusion and frustration.

She's is ver approachable outside of class if needed. To ace her exams, do all the end of chapter questions in text. Lectures are hard to follow.

Comment:

With out question, the most incompetent professor i have ever had. She seems to know genetics well, but has absolutely no common sense. Her exams are stupid, she asks really hard questions, but gives random bonus marks everywhere just to bump up the average to where it should be.

Read ahead. If you know the basics, then lectures are easy enough to follow and very helpful.

Comment:

Easily the most scatterbrained prof you can have. Will chastise students for not knowing a specific answer, then completely forget materials for her own lecture! Tests are pretty fair, though lack of multiple choice makes you memorize instead of understand.

Horrible, nasty, bitter old woman!! Eccentric beyond clinical care, and very two faced!! Some days kind; others snappy and rude........I watched her make someone cry after she INVITED THE PERSON TO HER OFFICE to discuss a concept!!! Retire!!!!

Comment:

I really can't see why she became a prof?! She is extremely smart, very nice , very eccentric, but can't teach at all. My interest -alone- in the subject matter is what carried me through the course.

Comment:

Extremely nice and a wonderful person but does not have a good lecture format. Little to no overheads and a poorly structured flow of course material. Maybe if material was available online things would run smoother.
