I really liked him as a professor. He is very clear with what is expected in the class and the tests are fair. He is super nice and you can tell he really loves what he is teaching.

Dr. Poole is such a nice guy. Go to his office hours! He loves talking about genetics and helping his students understand the material. Review the lecture slides and do practice problems from the book and you will succeed in the class. Make sure you keep up with the material because it's really easy to fall behind.

So I failed Poole's Molecular Genetics II the first time I took. I retook the class with a different professor, and with this comparison I saw that, Poole is a great teacher; the material is dry. Poole teaches in a very cohesive, comprehensible way that connects speciously disparate concepts and he is very accessible. Do as many problems as u can.

Prof Poole is not my favorite MCDB professor, but he outlines what he expects of his students pretty well. There's quizzes, practice problems/exams, and he makes all his lectures available on GauchoCast. He is iclicker heavy but it's also to gage how well we're understanding. I would've been more successful if i reviewed the slides more.

Very good professor. Explains complicated material well and gives students plenty of problems to practice, plus he's funny. Tests are very fair and pretty similar to the practice tests. Hard concepts, but if you pay attention in lecture/rewatch lectures, do the book problems, and ask him your questions, you should be fine.

His lectures can be pretty off-topic and uses iClicker, but he records for gauchocast and leaves all of his lectures online. Know how to do problem-solving like the back of your hand for exams, otherwise it's pretty fair.
