1.

1. Not being too technical in the lectures and keeping it interesting. Sometimes stumping us on quizzes to keep us on the ball. The tests + quizzes overall were very fair and most of the time covered a lot of what was covered in class.

2. The lectures were really straight forward and clear; the last topics involving DNA synthesis and its applications were really interesting.

3. I liked the fact that most of the test and quiz material was from lecture material.

4. Discussion of issues, gene therapy for example that are current pieces of interest.

5. The thing I liked the most was the topics on mendelian genetics, because they largely have to deal with probability/stats which I excel at.

6. Genetic inheritance, pedigree charts. Predicting disease is critical to modern medicine

7. The section population genetics- this was the area that you seemed to be most knowledgeable and excited about & it was easy to pass that on.

8. Good overview of what was happening in the field; seemed very up-to-date

9. I liked the most controversial topic covered, which was recombinant DNA, because it deals with not only possible cures for aliments, but also ethical and moral decisions.

10. I enjoyed talking about present research + findings on genetics-i.e. gene theory. I liked this because it really hits home.

11. I just thought it was all interesting.

12. I really enjoyed the subject of Genetics. I feel we covered some interesting topics relating to Genetics.

13. The lectures were very informative.

14. Tests were fair and not tricky. Every other professor in the science dept. of Loyola, except for Dr. Hauber only tries to trick us, + not just make us think.

15. Population genetics was interesting because I like the problems. DNA fingerprinting was good too.

16. I liked the fact that the Dr. Hauber was available when students needed extra assistance

17. It was very interesting. I like that the lecture covered all topics relevant to the course. I also thought that having quizzes on a schedule + getting the answers and getting the answers to them helped a lot.

19. The thing I liked most was the speed of the course, I don't think we were put under nay abnormal strain.

20 .Learning about new genetic engineering technology.

21 .Learning about Population Genetics.

22. Mitosis & meiosis because I could use the knowledge I already had & it was cool.

2.

1. Some of the rude students, some of which should be enrolled in a respect for propriety class. Have some more videos

2. The course was all right for the most part but sometimes the class got really boring; ,maybe it was the topics treated I can't really tell.

4. I never know when you wanted specifics, or not. Sometimes questions were specific. I struggled and other times they were so vague I struggled. Always having quizzes after holidays- do you do that on purpose?

5. The part that I least liked was the topics on biochemistry since I had most of that already in MCDB.

6. The Tues/Thurs classes have a way of dragging on forever. I hate to wake up early to get here.

7. The fact that there were so many things that still could be covered- perhaps Genetics II could be an elective- more in depth into all of the topics- not just the electives that specialize into modern genetics.

8. Not enough practice work, problems; though the quizzes did help me keep up with information.

10. Too much lecturing - it gets old/doesn't keep the students' interest.

12. It was unfortunate that we had to skip some of the material because I find Genetics extremely interesting.

15. I did not like the translation & transcription.

18. The time it starts.

19. I wish there was another form of getting a grade like extra credit for an assignment.

20. Lectures were somewhat disorganized at times & too lazy, should be taught MWF.

21. The way the tests were graded. Test were never out of a definite # (100 points) they ranged from out of 74-86 + the average received from that fraction is counted as being out of 100 points. Not fair.

22. I hated the tests because I failed two of them (RNA was a bitch too).

3.

1. I will remember: composition of DNA + RNA, genetic disorder + diseases, how hard it is to completely remember the steps to RNA synthesis.

2. Application of gene manipulation.

3. I learned a lot about basic genetics that gave me a firm foundation on genes.

4. Topics on Gene Therapy, recombinant DNA-cloning.

5. Genetic Diseases that were covered will give me some insight into my profession, medicine.

6. I think it is valuable to learn genetic inheritance so I can predict/prevent disease in myself and family in the future.

7. The gene therapy possibilities.

8. Genetic technology and practical applications.

9. Techniques in recombination is probably the most valuable aspect learned in this course because I intend to further my genetic research.

10. I learned a lot of the topics we cover are related and tie together.

11. How things are passed down to generations.

12. I feel gene therapy and what the future of biology has in store for us.

13. The gene therapy information.

14. Learned a lot about Laboratory staff + now I am interested in working in a genetics lab.

15. This was an interesting class & everything was interesting and being a Biology major, I think I will need it in the future

16. Everything in this class will be helpful in future pre med course b/c this is the foundation to many upper class Bio courses.

18. If I ever have a child w/a genetics problem it may be cures.

19. DNA information, what happens during birth (chromosomes, inherited genes)

20. Gene scrounge.

21. I learn about genes + genetic technology which may be useful if i become a doctor.

22. Nothing really will actually. I thought that it helped one form a better opinion on genetic experiments.

4.

1. Yes, but as for translation it would help if their was a nice detailed diagram of the steps just like the one they have for RNA syn.

2. Yes

3. I think the textbook was very helpful and was a good complement to the lectures.

4. Yes- we didn't really use the book. It's a lot of money for a little use.

5. Yes.

6. The textbook is fine, we just never use it. Classroom facilities are fine.

7. Yes, but I rarely used the textbook- the lecture was sufficient.

8. The textbook was probably too technical, are there others that cover just what we talked about w/o all the extra stuff? Working- too confusing.

9. Yes.

10. Yes - but the textbook wasn't that helpful other than the figures. Maybe if there is a topic that the professor doesn't know that much about he can give specific supplementary procedure.

11. Yes. More videos.

12. I found the textbook a very good source to refer to when the notes were not enough.

13. The textbook was not arranged to fit the lectures. There was a lot of jumping around.

14. Couldn't afford the textbook; classroom was cool.

15. Yes.

16. They were but they sometimes are not very clear.

17. Yes.

18. Yes.

19. No, the textbook was fine but went a lot deeper than needed for the tests.

20. Textbook was decent. Classroom fine except for construction.

21. Yes.

22. Textbook was a little difficult to read. No suggestions.

5.

1. Keep up the good work and thank you for teaching us.

2. Old tests were really helpful.

4. More information. More questions on the test, a test totaling 100 pts.

7. I think it should always be taught w/a lab to reinforce some of the experiments that we just talked about.

10. More class interaction + less just sitting listening to the lecture.

11. ?

14. Nothing at all.

17. Make answers available to practice tests, at least multiple choice.

19. Extra credit.

21. None.

22. It could possibly be made more interesting.
