Easily the worst professor to ever exist. He consistently belittles and berates students, making them feel incompetent, unworthy and unconfident. Countless classmates and I have been shut down or made insecure for asking questions. He offers no support, only judgment. I genuinely hope no other student ever has to endure him.I pray he loses his job.

Before I took this class, I had a positive outlook on my experiences and the possibility of going to grad school. Afterwards, I felt more discouraged and less competent. When I asked for advice about my GPA and current research, he told me it was not likely to get into grad school.

Seems like he is just teaching so he can do research. lectured all about the qualitative parts of genetics, but the majority of his exam was quantitative. He also has a very weird exam structure.
