Spring 2023 - Dr. Rigueur is an outstanding professor whose passion for research and biology shines through in every lecture. I have taken her MCDB 144, MCDB 180A, and MCDB 180B courses, and she has significantly enriched my learning experience by fostering an engaging, supportive, and enriching learning environment. From the beginning, she made me feel welcomed by ensuring that every student, including myself, was recognized and included during class discussions. Dr. Rigueur's lecture style emphasizes collaboration and teamwork, particularly through peer-editing papers, which encouraged us to voice our honest feedback to improve. As a result, I have seen significant growth in my communication and scientific writing skills. The material assigned outside of class was thoughtfully designed. It was rigorous, but manageable which allowed me to growth as both a student and researcher without feeling overwhelmed. Under Dr. Rigueur's guidance, I improved my ability to read and comprehend primary literature which built confidence, and prepared me for graduate school. Overall, I greatly enjoyed this class due to Dr. Rigueur's enthusiasm, passion, and expertise across multiple fields of biology. Not only did she teach the material effectively, but she also cultivated a supportive community that inspired growth and enthusiasm for science.
