Reviews of professor Robert Unckless

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Unckless is a nice guy and a great professor. The exams are moderately challenging but definitely manageable. Does not provide the most practice, though. Side note, if you have an obsession with fruit flies/Drosophila, you will do well in the class, lol.

Lectures provide a superficial understanding of the subject matter and may lead to a false sense of security. Evaluations are much more in-depth. Do extra practice to ensure you are prepared. Seems like a very busy dude.

I thought he was a very good professor and the class was very straight forward. Everything on the exams is either discussed in lecture, discussion, or on one of the previous quizzes. There were never any surprises when it came to exams. The textbook was unnecessary and I would not bother buying it.

Hated the MC exams, and I studied hard for the exams and still got Cs on them. They really need to change up the testing system in this course now that it's all online because it's ridiculous. Also, there's no extra credit. Instead of only giving 3 exams, there should have been quizzes in between to prepare us better.

I personally found his lectures interesting and enjoyable, and useful for exams. Grading is heavily based on exams, with some homework. The exams are difficult (class average of 69% on exam 1), and you will not do well if you do not take the time to thoroughly understand the concepts of the class. Go to reviews, study hard, and you will pass.

Genetics is a tough class, but Dr. Unckless helps make it more enjoyable. He shares a lot of interesting stories during lecture that help you stay engaged. The exams are tough and he doesn't provide a ton of practice problems for studying, so make sure you take advantage of your TA for helping with certain concepts/problems.

Dr. Unckless is passionate about the subject, but his lectures lack adequate practice and explanations for solutions. If you want to do good in class go to office hours, and GTA sessions, and pay attention in lectures. Highly recommend doing really well on the first two exams, as the second half of the semester is much more difficult.
