Reviews of professor Ginnene DiStefano

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr.D is a great choice for genetics! She makes expectations clear from the start and her lectures are very detailed and are posted online for review. Textbook is only an additional resource, not at all necessary to do well. Overall very practical and clearly wants her students to succeed.

Nice professor and really sweet but I regret taking her. Often times she would dismiss students when asking valid questions. She was disorganized too.

The class is called "Intro to Biochemistry" but was taught in such high detail. I took Intro to Genetics with this professor and was able to easily get an A. However, taking Intro to Biochem with her was like a trip to hell. I had bad vibes by the first week and stress cried by the second week. I had to teach myself a lot, and tests are hard.

Dr. D is a fantastic lecturer. The grade is spread across 5 exams and homework. Homework is graded for completion and she gave us extra credit worth about 5% of our total grade. Intro to Biochem isn't a 101 level class. It is difficult material. Dr. D is not a difficult teacher though. Her exams come from the lectures/slides with no trick questions

Dr. D is an okay prof. I read a lot of these reviews and was terrified to take her. Frankly, I ended up teaching myself most of the class but shes always available to help or clear things up outside of class. Ngl, a lot of ppl struggled including me at some points. I worked super hard and got a B so im not too mad, just make time to study.

At first she will seem hard. But shell warm up fast. Genetics is a hard subject but she makes it all make sense and fun. She made my time with her as enjoyable as it could get. Her labs are easy to follow. Also as you get to the end of the semester she likes change up how she does her quizzes. For example we did a group quiz and jeopardy.
