The first quarter of the class focuses so. much. on GMOs (I should've known, considering the GMO game is a big part of the class). The game made the class super fun :) You got to be in a big group project and schedule meetings yourselves.

The workload is manageable, but there'd be reading like every other day. + There would be extra credit readings, too! The tests were what lowered my grade in the class, and I wish I had studied more :( However, Professor Rensel is SUPER ACCOMMODATING, so nothing was her fault, LOL!

Rensel was one of the best professors in the cluster. Simply it is because she totally knows what she is doing and she totally knows what she is saying. She is direct and to the point without the need to give extra unnecessary information. This makes her lectures quick and easy to follow. She offers tons of office hours, but didn't find myself going simply because I had no questions to ask since she explained everything nicely and clearly. Her readings that she assigns are quick and easy to follow.

For the Biotech & Society cluster, Rensel's lectures are the best because she completely goes over all the readings and makes them super easy to understand. She also holds tons of office hours if needed and is overall a super efficient, engaging and easy to understand prof.
