She doesn't explain things the most clearly during lectures and sometimes skips content due to time constraints, but you can just read the textbooks after lectures. They're recorded but there are iclickers. Weekly quizzes are not made by her, but you can access past quarter exams for practice.

Simpson is knowledgable and the course is interesting. But, the material is very hard and she tends to skip over important concepts, as they are trying to fit in SO much material into a 10 week course. I felt like I never learned anything well. The tests are also really fast which is weird for an upper division course.

I have never loved a class more. I took her 101BH section too and felt like it helped contextualize everything. She has so much passion for what she does and has a great way of organizing her lectures. I have wanted to go to medical school my whole life, but she made me consider going to graduate school for genetics. Take her if you have the chance

Genetics is a very challenging course. She brings in real life examples to keep her students motivated. It was one of the hardest classes I have ever taken, nonetheless, she is an amazing professor and is willing to go above and beyond to help students succeed. But if you don't need to take the class, I recommend not taking. It was really hard.

Lecture covers general concepts but not how to apply them to problems. This is the biggest issue with this class since the exams are entirely problem based. You’re given the bare minimum and expected to answer complex genetics problems. Also not given anywhere near enough time on exams to solve these complex problems. Unrealistic expectations
