Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
Ahna is a great professor! She genuinely cares about her students and is beyond helpful. In my honest opinion, probably one of the best faculty members in the genetics department. And as a bonus, she likes to bring in snacks for class. Take genetics 564, you won't regret it!
