BIOL 3010

I took this class when only Cronmiller is teaching it. It's a very challenging class!!!! Dont take it unless you want to major in biology!!! Cronmiller is fun and acessible. She tries to make her lecture interesting and engaging, but she is not very fair in her exams. The tests are supposed to focus on the chapters that she covers in class, but they do ask about the previous chapter. You have to really keep up with the reading, and make sure you do back of the book problems.

cronmiller was awful. She made a potentially interesting subject extremely painful

necessary evil if you're a bio major. biochem: stick to 300

Cronmiller is terrible. She has no idea how to teach complicated genetics and instead of just making the class easier akin to her ability to teach, she makes it even harder. Her tests are absurd. As stated above, she's also incredibly condescending. The TAs are mean and useless. Enjoy.

I hate to admit that Cronmiller is actually a pretty good teacher when it comes to lectures. I thought she explained things pretty well in class and tried to keep it interesting. That being said, she is not only condescending, she is just plain mean. If you email her a question she will send out an answer to the entire class but complain about how if you were paying attention you would have known the answer. In class she always yelled at all of us for not knowing the answers to her clicker questions. I actually thought the material was pretty interesting but I absolutely hated Claire Cronmiller.

It's actually a very good course if your interesting in genetics. Mrs. Cronmiller uses lots of interesting examples in class, incorporating both human and animal genetic variation and diseases into discussion. She also takes interesting breaks for humorous videos and songs (with much more humor lying in the videos). The work is conceptual challenging, but fair. Tests are not bad if you understand what is going on in class. Overall, not as bad as everyone makes it seems.

Cronmiller was a pretty good lecturer. Tests were fair, although I felt that she liked to get creative sometimes. The reading isn't too bad. Some of the topics she talks about isn't always in the book so I would strongly recommend you attend her lectures.

great class, great professor. pretty tricky though so watch out for her exams

This class was so difficult...I would go to office hours and meet the TAs as much as you can.

wasn't as bad as I thought. Cronmiller was pretty approachable when I didn't understand any of the material. the key to doing well in this class is doing all the practice problems you can.
