Cons: Hard, Purposely tries to make you fail.
I've never met a teacher who does everything in her power to make her students fail. Worst teacher I've ever had.

 Cons: lectures bounce around randomly in co-ordination with the textbook, tests are extremely difficult and answers are very opinionated(multiple choice test and the answers are all plausible but you ahve to pick out the best one)
i was lucky and had an extremely helpful TA, without him i probably wouldve left the class with 0% knowledge on the subject

 Pros: She's a nerdy type of cute
Cons: Not a very good teacher. I learned about 95% of the stuff from the TA in our section lab. On the exams it seems like she is actively trying to trick you.
In my opinion the genetics part fucking blows, but when you get passed that the primatology stuff is pretty cool

 Cons: Terrible teacher, does not explain material very well at all, lectures are useless and, if anything, detrimental to my learning of the subject matter, poorly structured sections, she repeatedly exibits a lack of knowledge regarding a bulk of the subject matter, she should probably be a Primatology T.A. but not a professor.
