Winter 2022 - Dr. Prunier is a wonderful human being who cares so much about her students. She worked to create an equitable hybrid classroom and was very understanding. Her lectures cover the basics of genetics and relates them to broader fields in biology like evolution, as well as contemporary subjects like GMOs. Exams for this quarter were open note and internet, but they were tricky in that they required you to synthesize your knowledge and tackle novel situations. However, they were very fair. Take her class, or any class she teaches!
