Gold
Silver[BIOL C3032] Genetics
Departments: Biology & Biomedical Engineering
Professors: Martin Chalfie and Brian Morton
AVOID at ALL costs! I have always loved biology, that is until I had Morton. Among all the biology teachers/professors I have had in high school and college, he is by far the worst! He is very disorganized, so it is extremely difficult to follow his lectures. Also, his lectures are incredibly boring, it's really hard not to space out at times. Morton pretends to be nice and helpful sometimes, but i don't think he cares a lot about his students at all. If you absolutely have to take this course, then take it with Mansfield! she teaches it in the Spring.
fairly heavy, 2 midterms, 1 final. all pretty hard.
A very boring lecturer, with long and difficult tests. I feel bad saying this - he is obviously a very nice guy. Still, he spends the first half of the semester beating mendellian genetics to death and then suddenly shifts gear into an incredibly detailed section on molecular genetics. His exams cover every detail as well, requiring that you know every enzyme and every base pair sequence ("a 13 b.p. A-T rich sequence repeated three times followed by...") mentioned in either class or the book.
Two midterms, final; six problem sets
