Reviews of professor Kassandra Ori-McKenney

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Super kind, caring, accommodating, understanding. Exams are mostly fair, pay attention to small details and do the optional practice. there are participation points to bump you up. lab attendance is completely mandatory. she only teaches once a year so if you can get her you should sign up. 10/10 would recommend.

Dr.O is truly a legend. Her passion for science is so strong that you can sense it every time you go to her class. Two midterms, one non-cumulative final and a group report (she is super nice about grading the report). Prior research experience can be helpful but not required. If you are curious about doing molecular biology this class is for you.

She is quite literally the best professor I've had. She is so passionate about the material and excited to teach it. She is very approachable for questions and eager to help and ensure her students' success. I'm genuinely sad this class is over; it is by far my favorite one I've taken.

She was a truly great professor who always tried to make the class interesting and engaging. Keep in mind though that almost everyone in the class is a Genetics major, so if you are a general BioSci student, you may be a bit behind at the beginning of class. However if you attend lecture and study the lab manual, you will do great.

Dr. O is one of the best professors that I ever had at UC Davis. She is caring, funny, sweet, positive, energetic, and very understanding. She made the class stress-free and enjoyable, which was surprising to me because a 5 unit class is usually very hard. she gave one easy quiz, two tests (open 24 hrs), a group project, and the final was optional.
