Professor Lynch was an excellent instructor. Her lectures were clear and thought provoking. Her attentive teaching style and ability to engage her class was really inspiring. I felt I learned a lot from her class and I would love to take her again. If anyone is wondering, Dr. Lynch most definitely deserves a hotness rating.

I would definitely take Dr. Lynch again. Her teaching style is great and I felt I got a lot out of the course. Her willingness to help me one on one with some tough problem sets really gave me the confidence to to make it through the course. Professor Lynch is great!

Comment:
Professor Lynch wasn't terrible, but her tests focused far too much on tiny details she had only mentioned once in class - in other words, it's easy to get a B in this class, but to get an A, I would recommend recording her lectures and writing down everything she says. Her tests are absolutely based off of her lectures.

Comment:
Professor Lynch, while not being the most exciting teacher ever, gives relatively clear lectures. She will attempt to answer any questions you throw at her, although lectures go at a rapid pace due to the large amount of material she needs to cover. Be prepared to memorize a lot of materical that most people would find boring.

Comment:
Lynch falls somewhere in between decent and mediocre. She knows her stuff, but I did not find her lectures particularly engaging, and she didn't always explain things very well. bio 3 is okay, worth taking if you are planning to do something involving biology and want to avoid bio 13, but I wouldn't go out of your way to take it.

she focuses too much on the details. pay CLOSE attention in class and take good notes, and basically memorize the text book.

Comment:
This class was a major disappointment. Her tests were incredibly detailed - to the point where they required you to memorize useless information. She went way to fast in lecture and often did not explain thing well. Ultimately if you want to do well in this course you have to memorize every word of the text book .

Lectures were very clear, and she cares very much about her students. However I did find the exam questions to be on occasion a bit ambiguous. Overall a great professor otherwise.

She couldn't have made the material and her notes any clearer. I got an A and all I had to do was show up to every class and take good notes (and look over the notes every once in a while). Exams weren't easy but fair.

Prof Lynch is a great bio lecturer... She's very clear and her lectures are always interesting and she tries to incorporate current research in the field.
