Comment:
Great lecturer and very helpful if you have any questions outside of class. There's a lot of ways to earn points in the class including take home and in class tests, assignments, attendance, seminars, and a paper. Attendance is mandatory because she writes a lot of the notes on the board. Difficulty was standard for a 300-400 level class.

Comment:
Dr. G is extremely knowledgable, and does her best to make the material understandable for students. Her powerpoints are somewhat vague, but if you attend class, she will go into plenty of detail explaining them. She offers optional weekly review sessions, which are great for asking questions in a smaller group setting.

Genetics with her was awesome. Her lectures are hilarious, and she is incredibly helpful during office hours. Her notes on the board can be a little difficult to read sometimes. Exams are tough, but fair, and she will go over them with you if you have questions. Would definitely take her again!

Capstone is pretty standard no matter who teaches it, she did fine though, we almost always got out early and she's available to go over questions you might have.

Comment:
She's alright, grades are based mostly on tests, which are fairly standard. Gives the equations on tests so you don't need to memorize them, but also has some trivial things on tests that aren't really applicable to real world scenarios. Still a fine teacher though.

Comment:
Dr. Galbraith uses inappropriate, unnecessary humor to try and get students to like her. She uses PowerPoint slides with no words, which would be okay, if it weren't for the fact that everything she talks about in class is vague. Exam prep is unclear. I ended up reading the textbook and it helped a bit. Dr. G is inflexible with personal conflicts.

Dr. G was GREAT! She really cares that you do well in her class, and lets you know exactly what to study to do your absolute best. She really wants you to learn the material, but in a way that you'll remember even after her class, so she makes it fun with great examples and corny jokes. The homework really helps your understanding. Would take again

Comment:
If you're a visual learner, do NOT take. She lectures the material, so if you can't keep up, that information is lost. The only thing on her powerpoints are examples from the book, no actual notes or definitions. Practice problems are unhelpful or unrelated to lecture content. Basically expects you to teach yourself.

Takes attendance, 10 homework assignments graded on completion. One pass/fail creative writing paper on a given genetic disorder. 3 take home exams and an in-class comprehensive final. She kept lecture interesting, but be ready to put in work on the exams.

Professor Galbraith is the shiz. Genetics is a tough class & she makes it so much better. I do not mind going to her lectures at all because she is fricken hilarious. The whole class is laughing multiple times throughout lecture. She's a genius who is good at teaching too, which isn't always the case. She uses good examples & explains things well.

For the most part a great lab professor. Very friendly, fun to listen/talk to and engaging. often in her office for help as well. That being said, she is not always a fair grader. marked points off of an assignment and then told me I had no way to know the correct way to do it, yet would not give points back. would take her again though.

Review sessions every week, review sheets that clearly outline what to study. Tests are hard, so you have to work.

She is a fun teacher but that only goes so far. Terrible notes and leaves you very clueless when thinking what to expect on her exams. Iv'e had much better professors.

Comment:
Most of genetics is rather boring material (IMO), but Anne did her best to liven the classroom. She is funny and witty. You will find no problems approaching her for concepts you may not understand and get reasonable explanations. Tests in this class are very difficult with a rather high grading curve.

Great professor! She is extremely helpful and happy to help too! The tests are hard, but it's a tough class. My only complaint is her use of the board - she's all over the place which made my notes unorganized. Overall, definitely take!

Really funny! Likes what she does and can explain it pretty well. The class is still hard, and the tests are tricky..some more than others, but she's a really good teacher. I'd recommend taking her! And you don't really need to read out of the book
