reading seminar, not really teaching much.

Read and dissect a new, long research article every class that she won't give you the background on until after you're expected to read and annotate the whole thing on your own.

friendly, but doesn't explain well. Doesn't teach well. Will give very vague and unhelpful descriptions of research techniques then expect you to know all about it and how it works while reading the papers.

unless you really like amino acids, ribosomes, and DNA structures, and RESEARCH especially...do not take. you'll spend 4-6 hours a week outside of class dissecting papers that she gives little to no background on.

This class was great. I truly learned more in this class then my whole high school experience with this topic. Super manageable class, just show up!

A lot of lectures and discussions. Books and lectures are the main content, with a couple guest speakers and videos.

Professor Alberts was great! He was very kind, understanding, and easy to communicate with. Certain people in this class were disrespectful ( even one girl who literally watched TikToks every class with BOTH airpods in) but he was respectful, adn theres nothing he can really say (the studnet is paying to waste their time) but he handled these students with grace.

Good if you are a genius at math and understand his abstract crazy way of thinking. Bad if you actually want to learn anything about algorithms.

A nice person but might be time to retire from teaching. Super disorganized.

I would not take a government course with this structure again. It was very difficult to understand the material when you are only being tested on it 3 times. If you hate reading, DON'T take this professor.

Not useful. Did not really understand anything about the course afterwards.

He was very nice, but I would not take him again.

Take it with a different prof or online.
