About this rating

Raw average: 4.23/5 from 13 quality ratings. The adjusted rating blends this with the UW review average (3.66/5), weighted as 20 additional ratings. Smaller samples stay closer to that average. Each captured review is counted once in the prior; this does not correct who chooses to leave a review.

He is very straight-forward in lecture. Exams reflect that. Best of the 3! book is not necessary!

Clear and engaging lecturer, I enjoyed going to his lectures. He wants everyone to love genetics like he does. If you do the readings before class his lectures are very easy to follow.

Good, clear lectures. Tested on a lot of little concepts, so beware of that.

I really enjoyed learning from Dr. Wolman! You could tell that he really has a passion for genetics and that he wants to see his students succeed.

Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
He explains difficult concepts so well, and helps solidify content with a little review before lecture (still study up). He goes a little fast through content, but comfortable enough where you can keep up in class. Very organized, well spoken, and my favorite of the 151 professors.

Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
One of the best professors (and classes) I have had at UW. The exams are short answer which requires you to have a good understanding of the material so I feel like I learned a lot from. Take good notes in class - exams are open note! Always willing to meet outside of class to answer questions and chat about his research. Best professor ever!
