I don't know why people say this class is an easy A because you actually do need to put in the work. This class is flipped where he has you watch lecture videos before lecture. Weekly the class consisted of watching pre-class lecture videos (1hr-1 1/2 hours long), taking a pre-class lecture quiz, a weekly quiz that was based on discussion worksheets. Sometimes there were two lecture video topics a week so it'd be slightly overwhelming since assignments doubled for that week but it was doable. I felt like my discussion section wasn't that helpful but I heard there were a few good TAs. It starts off really easy but as the quarter goes on the topics start becoming harder. Lecture was mainly him doing clicker questions based off of what was talked about in the lecture video also attendance is mandatory. I will admit the midterms/final was hard but the good think is he offers EC after the exams 5pts minimum at least. Overall, he was really sweet, had tons of OHs, and drops some assignments.

I absolutely loved this class and Dr. Pham. The class was flipped (watched lectures at home and did problems in class) which was perfect for this type of class. The subject material was sometimes challenging but Dr. Pham explained it so well and it was nice having the video lectures to reference too. The class was great and really, really interesting. I would definitely recommend taking it!

Dr. Pham is absolutely amazing. Even with the fast-paced nature of the summer quarter, he made sure it was not rushed and even removed some things from the syllabus to ensure that each previous topic was covered fully. There were pre-class lectures and quizzes like the pre-major LS series, 9 quizzes, discussion worksheets, 2 midterms, and 1 final. Scores were dropped so you could easily miss a week of class and 3 quizzes were dropped as well. There are tons of practice exams provided by Dr. Pham, and he also provides a practice exam right before each exam which is very similar to the actual exam. Lectures themselves consisted of clicker questions through iClicker, which did require participation and attendance in lecture, but you could miss 3 days.

PHAM IS THE BESTTTTTT! despite taking this over the summer, the class didn't feel rushed at all and Pham is so understanding and patient with students. There are 9 quizzes throughout the class, 3(!!!) of which are dropped. There are also pre-class assignments and video quizzes w 2 attempts, like the other LS7 classes. There were also so many past exams available to study from (every quarter for the last 8 years)!! Before the 2 midterms and final, he released a practice exam that was pretty much the exact same as the actual exam which was so useful for studying. I was concerned that this class would be too much during the summer, but it's so manageable, the content is fun, and you have lots of flexibility with Pham. take this class with him you won't regret it!!! <3

SUCH A FUN CLASS AND AN AMAZING PROFESSOR! Pham was the absolute sweetest and one of the best professors I've had here. He really cares about his students and answers every question we have. His exams are very easy if you do the past exams that he posts on CCLE, because the question types are very similar. The class gets harder in the second half of the quarter, but still doable if you don't get behind. The only negative thing I have to say about this class was that we were a little behind, so we weren't able to get through all the material which I was looking forward to. But this might have just been for this quarter! Definitely recommend taking with Pham!

Pham is one of the best professors I have had. He took his time explaining topics in lecture, and the pre-lecture videos were clear and concise. He is also super approachable and is always willing to answer questions. Discussion sections were really helpful, where we would go over that week's worksheet and concepts. Between the clicker questions from lecture, weekly worksheets, and previous exams that he posts, there were never any surprises on the exams. As long as you study the material that is given, you will get the grade you want. The weekly quizzes were also really helpful to know where you need to focus more time during studying. I cannot recommend this class enough.

Dr. Pham is a very sweet man who cares a lot about his students' success. His assessments are fair and they don't trick you at all, and he takes time to make sure that we go through the important clicker questions in class. He is not always a very clear lecturer because he goes off on tangents, which can make the class a little bit tedious, but he goes over all of the important material and tells you what will be on the exam and what you should study.

The exams themselves are not terrible if you study, but you must study! Practice the clicker questions and pay special attention to the practice online exams he gives out before, because they have very, very similar questions to the exam. You must understand how to do every single question on the practice online exams (including the theory behind it and how to do it if the numbers/question was changed slightly) and you will be fine!

Very low workload, and I enjoyed learning about genetics. I feel like I came out of this class with a much better understanding of and interest in the subject.

I got an A+ in this class, so what else is there to say? Hung Pham is the goat. Take Genetics with him!

Professor Pham is soooo amazing. I love him so much. He makes the cutest jokes and feels comfortable to talk to his students about his life and he makes little silly comments that break down the formal walls between students and professors. He is an amazing professor and will answer literally every single question asked. His exams are insanely easy. I almost wish the class was a bit more challenging than it was, considering the first five weeks was just review from LS7B. But as a professor, Pham is the way to go.

Pham is incredibly sweet and humble; you can tell he's truly dedicated to every students' learning. The tests in this class are almost exactly like the worksheets, and both midterms and the final are super easy if you do enough practice problems, which he gives plenty of in the form of old exams. It is a flipped class structure with the weekly videos and quizzes, but what you absolutely need to know will be covered in lecture in the form of clickers. There's very little factual information in comparison to the LS 7 series, and it's mostly simple math and applying some key concepts here and there. Probability is a big part of the math when you're dealing with genetic linkage and pedigrees, but don't worry if you didn't understand it in 7B, because I didn't either and still got very comfortable and solid with the concepts. Easy upper div, take it with Pham!
