Winter 2020 - Look, the professor is nice, but...the class sucks. The tests are hard, the papers are difficult to read, and even though I've gone to office hours and discussion. Nothing about my grade change. The only way I even had a chance to pass was that the coronavirus shut down the school and the final became take home. Even then, I don't know if that was enough to save my grade. The only reason I took this this class was because a different class I was enrolled in said I was under qualified to take it. I wish I stayed in the other class. Look, if you really, really want to learn about genetics, if you have a passion for it, take the class. If you're just taking it to fulfill a requirement, DO NOT take the class. It is not worth it. Especially if you don't like the topic and don't want to wake up at 8AM to do it.
