He is very enthusiastic about teaching this class and is very helpful when answering questions. Overall I really enjoyed having him as my professor for this class!

Professor Pham is soooo amazing. I love him so much. He makes the cutest jokes and feels comfortable to talk to his students about his life and he makes little silly comments that break down the formal walls between students and professors. He is an amazing professor and will answer literally every single question asked. His exams are insanely easy. I almost wish the class was a bit more challenging than it was, considering the first five weeks was just review from LS7B. But as a professor, Pham is the way to go.

Dr. Pham is very nice and does a good job covering the material! He always sent us emails reminding us of assignment due dates (which saved me multiple times). the labs for 7b kind of suck and are long and annoying, but that isn't Dr. Pham's fault since he isn't really in charge of course design.
He does a good job covering the material, but he ran out of time for slides every week. We kind of got stuck in this awful cycle: He'd run out of time, so he'd post a recording of the remaining slides. But then in class next week, he'd go over those slides anyways in class. But honestly, I prefer that to him rushing through slides, since he always explained the clickers and concepts well.
(and Gabi is an awesome TA)

The material covered is very interesting, but the pacing and the flipped classroom model is very tough with no A-levels/AP background in biology. I would highly recommended trying to get Maloy he is very composed and engaging as a lecturer I would sometimes do the Pham clicker questions then attend Maloy's lecture and found it clearer. Pham is a very nice person but not the clearest teacher even if he insists you stop him to ask questions that obviouslt doesn't quite fit the format of a 400 person lecture. Overall the lecture is porbably the least important part of this class, try not to fall behind on launchpad (easier said) and attend discussions and you should be fine regardless of who you get.

I got an A+ in this class, so what else is there to say? Hung Pham is the goat. Take Genetics with him!

I felt like this was a lot of review from AP Bio, and there is so much LaunchPad work. You do learn a lot of material, and the pace is pretty quick. That said, if you're reading this you probably have to take LS7A, and the curriculum is all the same for every class. Professor Pham is nice and helpful, and he sends out reminders when assignments are due which has saved me a couple times. His explanations of clicker questions are crucial for the exams. I liked this class, but it probably doesn't matter too much which professor you get.

Dr. Pham is a fantastic professor who cares deeply about his students and their success. His lectures are engaging and complete with cute anecdotes about his wife, and he is more than accommodating when the need arises. Whenever students have questions during lectures, Dr. Pham will answer the question in depth or invite others in the class to try to help, but makes sure that the student who asked the question understood before moving on. He offers many extra credit opportunities to boost your grade, and the group portions of the exams are very helpful. The tests are heavily concept-based, but with the lectures, discussion sections and launchpad assignments, students are usually very prepared. I enjoyed the class with Dr. Pham and highly encourage others to take LS7A with him.

Dr. Pham is a very sweet man who cares a lot about his students' success. His assessments are fair and they don't trick you at all, and he takes time to make sure that we go through the important clicker questions in class. He is not always a very clear lecturer because he goes off on tangents, which can make the class a little bit tedious, but he goes over all of the important material and tells you what will be on the exam and what you should study.

The exams themselves are not terrible if you study, but you must study! Practice the clicker questions and pay special attention to the practice online exams he gives out before, because they have very, very similar questions to the exam. You must understand how to do every single question on the practice online exams (including the theory behind it and how to do it if the numbers/question was changed slightly) and you will be fine!

Very low workload, and I enjoyed learning about genetics. I feel like I came out of this class with a much better understanding of and interest in the subject.

Pham is one of the best professors I have had. He took his time explaining topics in lecture, and the pre-lecture videos were clear and concise. He is also super approachable and is always willing to answer questions. Discussion sections were really helpful, where we would go over that week's worksheet and concepts. Between the clicker questions from lecture, weekly worksheets, and previous exams that he posts, there were never any surprises on the exams. As long as you study the material that is given, you will get the grade you want. The weekly quizzes were also really helpful to know where you need to focus more time during studying. I cannot recommend this class enough.

This class is def very content-heavy, and focuses on cell and molecular bio and can get confusing and difficult if you don't have a strong foothold in it from high school + don't consistently study and figure out your weak spots. Exams have individual and group phases and your final grade for those are the averages, so that should def help your grade if your group is good (mine was and I ended up getting very close to perfect on the group section). Pham is amazing and super nice and responsive to emails. To succeed in this class: DO NO FALL BEHIND. It's really hard to get back on track and there's so much content to learn. The grading scheme for this class makes it easier to get an A, so as long as you understand the Launchpad + Launchpad quiz/exams, Clickers, Discussion, and PLF sheets, you are more than prepared to do really well in this class. Good luck!
