Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
3 exams that were moderately difficult and a cumulative final that was pretty easy by comparison. A lot of grades including online weekend quizzes, online lecture videos with quizzes, and in-class group worksheets. A lot of work but they are also a very good buffer if you do poorly on exams. Just study what you do in class and you will be ok

Class was fine. He seems uninterested and inconvenienced by teaching. Don't take his apathy too personally, he is a fair grader and an ok teacher. Luckily the TAs were super helpful!

Super Long and Hefty Lectures. Doesn't like answering questions. Barely emails back. 50 questions on the tests but the study guides are at least 150 terms. Only like 20 questions are actually from the study guide though. Sorry, but I don't recommend taking him.

Genetics is a tough class to begin with, but Eason is a great professor. He teaches really well, doesn't just read off slides, and offers extra credit. Nothing you do will prepare you for his exams (they're very hard). There is a heavy work load, so it balances with the almost impossible to pass exams. He is tough, but a great professor!

Four total exams plus final, you do get a study guide BUT each test is 50 questions and only about 20-30 are from the study guide. If you study really hard you can make an A but I wouldn't recommend. Not a terrible teacher just a semi-difficult testing method.

Quizzes, concept maps, group activities due weekly. pre lecture video due before every class before lectures. lots of work, but it helps your grade a lot when you do them. tests are very difficult, practice problems did not help me. Attendance isn't required, but he gives bonus points for attendance.

Smart professor but should not teach non-bio majors. He reads off of powerpoints that are hard to read from your seat and does not explain more than what is on the slides. Everyone was confused on the material. Only reason I passed was the study questions he gave us and used on the tests. Start a groupme w your class if you do take him.

There's a lot of work outside this class, but it's super helpful and can act as a grade booster if you put in effort. Most class periods you do a worksheet in class (there's some homework as well, mostly short quizzes and recorded lectures), and he's super helpful on the worksheets. I wouldn't call it an easy A, but he definitely works to help you!

To start with Dr. Easson is a great person and is willing to help after class. I have many concerns, but I'll keep it short and sweet. First, he doesn't go over basics which is so important in a hard class like this. There will be many times where you'll have to teach yourself. Finally, his lectures before class are not helpful at all! Enjoy!
