Reviews of professor Amanda Yonan

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Take Dr. Yonan for Genetics. She is an amazing professor and is clear on what is going to be tested. She curves each exam at least 10 points and is very kind and understanding. She is an amazing professor, and an even better person. I loved this class and I don't really like the "Biol" courses. Highly recommend.

Your experience is TA dependent. Mine graded HARSHLY & took off points for small details. Instructional materials contradicted each other. Dr. Yonans help was to threaten to lower my grade for bringing up class contradictions. When shown contradicting materials, she said she hadnt read her own materials. Holds class to impossible standard.

Class is very ta-dependent but this class overall has unclear grading criteria especially for the many papers. Go to the bio help center early as a. The tutors will help you understand research paper criteria/critique your writing and b. She offers extra credit for it. The final is very long and a pain to study for, so do well on your final paper

Dr. Yonan is a good instructor. Her tests have some trick questions that made it hard to get high test grades. She gives extra credit for discussion groups, which also help for tests.
