“After taking this course, I want to participate in more lab work in the future. The professors in this course are really nice and our TAs are friendly and helpful as well!”

“This is a very well–designed course in fly genetics, with a good mix of lecture–/reading–based instruction and real experimental work. The instructors are helpful and are dedicated to helping students learn.”

“I loved hands–on learning and experimentation in the lab! Having most coursework done within the class rather than outside gave me more time to explore and also was a helpful aspect of the course for my learning. Organized resources such as videos and articles helped me grasp and learn about new concepts. The guest speakers were also wonderful and inspired me in many ways. I'm glad to have met everyone and proud of the community we built this summer!”

“This course is a fantastic choice if students are hesitating in working in a lab.”

“I wanted to be a biological researcher in the future, and this course was able to strengthen my dream and desire. This course was very inspiring, especially due to the fact that the professors also work in labs. The TAs were able to provide information on universities/career paths. Best course ever.”

“This course allowed me to gain lab experience in working with flies and gave me the necessary knowledge to understanding fly genetics and genetics as a whole. This experience opened up new opportunities that will guide my work as a scientist in the future.”
