  Nice lady but a terrible teacher. Avoid her at all cost. She is extremely unclear and makes everything more difficult than it is.

  Sandi was helpful and tried to help us out during the course. The course material was pretty difficult to understand the first time around, so it takes some further questioning and studying to really understand what the hell you're doing in this lab. I'm glad I took this class though, the lab techniques learned are valuable and informative.

  Dr. Clement is really kind and understanding but she is not a good teacher. Her inexperience at teaching really shows in lecture when she does not clearly explain topics and just moves onto the next powerpoint slide. The textbook really helps to clarify alot of what she tries to teach. She also writes difficult tests and homework assignments so studying alot is necessary for her classes. Her office hours are really helpful especially since most of the other students struggle with similar concepts. I would recommend her for lab but not for lecture.

  Dr. Clement was a very good teacher for genetics. Her exams were on the long side, you will need to take the full time, but they were fair. If you keep up with the reading and focus on the learning objectives, you will do well. She is helpful and approachable during her office hours. She presented the material clearly and kept us engaged and participating during the class. I would suggest taking her for genetics.

  I would recommend this professor for lab. Sometimes she takes a while to explain things before starting a lab and can get annoying but I didn't find this to be a huge deal. She was very approachable and will help you during lab. She knows the material that is being taught and is better than some student teachers I have heard horror stories about. You will get credit for attempting the pre-labs and make sure to go into office hours for your lab report. I am not sure what the class average is, but keep in mind that the final lab grades will be weighted so that they stay in average with all the other labs. So an A could turn into a B.
