Reviews of professor Olivier Devergne

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
His explanations are unclear and he becomes frustrated when asked questions about material. He offers Genetic Club, but is always late and appears rushed, frequently checking his watch. The organization of the class is even worse. In the lab portion you are introduced to topics that are not covered simultaneously with the lecture portion.

This class is a lot of work but Dr. Devergne does a great job in helping us to learn the material. He offers 'genetics' club to go over problems. homework is graded on completion only, but there is a LOT. there's a lot of exams too, but it's nice in case you do bad on one. Overall, be ready to do a lot of work. I liked his lab a lot too.

He makes this class difficult then it already is. The book does a better job explaining then he does. He does not respond to emails and he takes forever to grade the exams.

Olivier was a good professor, but he's new and he isn't good at clarifying things when students ask questions. He has good office hours and will answer questions over emails but he also assigned way too much homework with short deadlines. He took forever to grade assignments and return grades, so I had no idea how I was doing. Dropped the class.

He is a nice and wants you to pass, but his exam difficulty is on the level of organic chemistry. He gives out a lot homework and expects it to be turned in the next day as if he thinks his class is the only class we have. He also tends to speak very fast in lecture and reading his handwriting can be hard. The lab is also very time consuming.
