I am usually tired due to the lack of sleep, but his lectures are so interesting that it's hard to fall asleep (I fell asleep in other boring classes). He sparked my passion for genetics in me, which is the only reason I chose to major in genetics!",

The class is really difficult but if you go to office hours it will help you immensely - he is also really flexible to meet whenever you need help, so that's good too. His accent is a bit tricky to understand sometimes, but overall he is a great professor and a great person.",

His lecture style is essentially an impromptu conversation with the class. as a result, concepts are unclear and many test questions go off of random and highly specific facts from slides. ",
