reading seminar, not really teaching much.

Read and dissect a new, long research article every class that she won't give you the background on until after you're expected to read and annotate the whole thing on your own.

friendly, but doesn't explain well. Doesn't teach well. Will give very vague and unhelpful descriptions of research techniques then expect you to know all about it and how it works while reading the papers.

unless you really like amino acids, ribosomes, and DNA structures, and RESEARCH especially...do not take. you'll spend 4-6 hours a week outside of class dissecting papers that she gives little to no background on.
