Spring 2023 - The thing I like the most about her class is that she let students discuss to solve the in-class questions and present our groups’ ideas. Thanks to this, we can learn how each other uses the information she gave us in the lecture video to answer the questions. Sometimes, I feel a headache because I am scared that I answer the questions incorrectly before my classmates, but Dr. Lozano appreciates all of our ideas, so I do not feel scared anymore. When we do not know how to solve these questions, we can ask the TAs or Dr. Lozano to develop ideas. The process of discussing, presenting our ideas, and listening to our classmates’ ideas help me understand the concepts Dr. Lozano said in the lecture video much longer. I still remember the exaptation, which is the bonus feature of an evolving trait. One example is that scale, whose original function is to cover the body, changed into feathers whose function is to protect the body and fly. I also like the way Dr. Lozano handles questions asked multiple times. Instead of answering these questions time after time, she asked students who just got the answer to explain this answer to the new students when she was nearby. Dr. Lozano said she might not remember how she studied this answer, so the student just getting this answer might explain it to another student better than her. This is creative because she can evaluate how much the former student understands her explanation, and she is nearby, so she can fix any misunderstandings for us. The students explaining things to their peers also understand the concepts more clearly because they can use their own words to make their peers understand the concepts. There are many interesting things about Dr. Lozano’s class such as antibiotics resistance, misconceptions about races, the application of phylogenetic trees in vaccine prediction, and virulence trace-off,... but “too long, no read” Just remember that a high-quality professor requires high-quality students, so the exam is a little bit chill. Nevertheless, Dr. Lozano only keeps 2 highest over 3 exams, and even if you got 75% for each exam, you can still get 90% if you do all other easy activities of the class.
