Comment:
Developmental and behavioural genetics as taught by Tony Parkes was one of the best, most interesting, and most valuable courses I've taken during the course of my academic career. Tony is a knowledgeable prof who engages students and encourages them to do more than regurgitate facts for a test.

Lectures are long but tests and grading are fair. He makes an otherwise boring biochemistry class very interesting by relating it to real things like the circulatory system. Can't wait for his genetics class.

I took two courses with Tony last year and I enjoyed both! The people in the class were the annoying ones! Tony is a good teacher but dont expect to get any marks back before heading into the final!

Smart guy, but a bore to listen to. I couldn't keep focused on what he was saying for the life of me. Constantly had to pull myself out of daydreams to refocus

Very knowlegeable. Does his research. Loves to give background, and application. Delivery uses technology well. Maybe writing down analogies before hand?
