One of the sweetest professors I've had while being at UMD. She is very approachable in office hours and always encourages us to ask questions. She provides resources such as study guides, additional textbook problems, practice exams, and she posts all the slides on canvas. I believe that some reviews are too harsh. Yes, it is true the average on our 2nd exam was in the 50s, but she gave everyone multiple points back in addition to a 10 point test correction assignment. She is one of the first professors I've had that admitted to failure when the class didn't perform well on the exam which I appreciate. Also, the average for the first exam was in the 80s. Overall, genetics is a hard course and requires time and studying. No matter who the professor is, it is going to be difficult. |

Harsh professor. Worst professor I've had at UMD. Gave us a really hard 2nd exam where the average was in the 40s. If you make a small mistake on your test she marks the entire question wrong. She acts like she'd rather die than curve. Her accent bothers some people, but not me, but the way she explains things is even more confusing. Doesn't post the slides, or give answers to the homeworks. Very little practice. Extremely strict and unforgiving. Take any other professor than her. ANY professor. If you can only take genetics if you take her, wait a semester where you can re-register early, or take it over the summer. Do what you can to avoid this class with her. Unless you actually like to gamble with your financial aid money. |
