I actually took BIOL 450-Human Genetics. The class was amazing, and Dr. Yonan is a great teacher. Studying for the tests is crucial, but everything you need is in the slides. Dr. Yonan is passionate about the subject and really cares about her students.

Okay instructor. Tests are decently hard, but does give extra credit.

Dr. Yonan's lectures are very dense in information, but she is very helpful during her office hours. She is very patient and willing to review the more difficult concepts. Her tests are all conceptual. You have to know what you're doing to get a good score. Your consists of 10 HW (1 dropped), the learning catalytics, 3 exams, and a final.

Dr. Yonan's class was difficult, however she was always available outside of class and VERY helpful in office hours. Exams are problem & conceptual based, all free response/short answer. There's weekly mastering assignments and textbook homework. Discussion is extra credit and is very helpful for practicing the content learned in class.

The material itself is easy to understand, but applying it is the hard part. Her mandatory question practice lectures help alot with that, so make sure, if nothing else, you go to those and pay attention. You get extra credit for attending the discussion sections. Her tests are hard, so do the recommended questions from the book to prepare.

Okay whoever says Yonan is a bad professor is because they don't try. She is a fantastic professor and loves to teach. Homework is straightforward. Discussions are extra credit. She curved every exam by 10-14 points each. If you don't want an A then don't put in the time or the work, it's that easy. She makes it so that it is hard to fail.

do NOT take joselyn atuhairwe, PLLEAASE. she is so blatantly rude and degrading, it can honestly be dehumanizing. the grading was so strict that points were taken off for the tiniest missed details on lab reports. however, the final is nothing insanely difficult, just make sure you know what you're doing in lab.

This review is for the lab she oversees. The lab is so tedious and stressful. Each TA is different, but expect this class to take up a lot of time. Your grade doesn't balance out until the end of the semester, so I was on edge most of the time. Bio help center is useful because of 2-3 people, absolute useless with others. Gettin A is a lot of work

Bio 192 is a seemingly unnecessary class but is required for many majors. The grading criteria the TA's have to follow are EXTREMELY strict. They will mark points off for the smallest details. I suggest going to the bio help center and/or sending a draft to your TA before submitting papers. Follow the rubrics EXACTLY
