Wow... the semester has only just begun and this is my favorite class I have taken at Tufts. Prof. McLaughlin is AMAZING. This is a lab-based class where you are really required to think about the material. She is an excellent teacher and really cares about her students. The lab activities are so much fun. I have learned so much!

Comment:

Conducted research in her lab a few years ago - she was amazing and took the time to make sure I understood complex concepts. My research experience was the best thing I did during my time at Tufts and was the reason I got into the top graduate programs after graduation. McLaughlin is what all professors should be like!

I took this class last year - and really loved it. This year I interviewed for jobs and got several offers thanks to the skills Dr. McLaughlin has us practice in her class this is by far the best class I have ever taken - and also the most useful! McLaughlin gives excellent feedback - and takes the time to work with students on practical skills!

McLaughlin is amazing. She is the best Prof I have had thus far (I am a junior). Even when she lost her voice - she still had office hours and took the time to help me figure out better ways to study... She was so patient - super smart and just awesome. Hope I can take a class with her soon.

Prof. McLaughlin is awesome. I heard this class was a weeder class - and was very nervous about taking it as a freshman. I am so glad I gave it a try. She was willing to meet with me outside of class time and was super all semester. I hope to ask her to be my advisor when I declare a bio major... I hope all of my teachers are this good!

Dr. McLaughlin is one of the nicest people I have ever met. She always finds time to meet with her students and clearly explains concepts I don't understand. She never judges - or makes me feel bad for not understanding. I would love to take another class with her next semester.

Best class I have taken at Tufts. I really got to "experience" working at the bench…and loved every week…. McL is a warm and caring teacher that knows her stuff… but isn't stuck up about it...

Her lectures are flawless and engaging. She is brilliant, but not egocentric which makes her so likeable! She wants students to succeed so she doesn't throw any curveballs. Loved the final project (creating a video)
