Most Helpful Review
Spring 2022 - This class was co-taught by Laski and Cohn, but since Laski has retired, Cohn gets the review. The structure is as such: Midterm 1 100 points Midterm 2 100 points Final (6/6/22) 200 points Pre-lecture Quiz (16 quizzes x 2 pts) 32 points (lowest dropped) Clicker Questions (18 lectures x 2 pts) 36 points (two lowest dropped) Discussion Section (8 attendances x 4 pts) 32 points (two lowest dropped) Up until the first midterm, everything is pretty much a review of LS7B - lot of Punnett squares and pedigrees and the questions are straightforward probabilities/multiplying fractions. After the second midterm, bacterial genetics is introduced and it's still pretty interesting and easy to do well. The averages for both midterms with 90+. After the second midterm, however, it becomes super difficult to understand Cohn's lectures and people starting flunking the pre-lecture quizzes en masse. The final predominantly covers this latter portion of the class, so many people did poorly and their grades pre-final and post-final were significantly different. There are 4 points of EC on each exam that can help you, but overall, this class started off easy and then the final kicked out butts.
