I love Professor Rensel's lectures because her slides and lectures are engaging and easy to follow. I like how I know exactly what to pay attention to because it's clearly outlined in the learning goals in the first few slides.

Professor Rensel is the best teacher in this cluster. She teaches the science part of the course, however, makes it very clear and easy to understand. If you study her lecture slides and notes you took during the class, then you will easily get an A on her portion of the test. Just make sure to go to class and take good notes and you will be completely fine. Overall, I loved her as a professor and know you will too.

Not as cool as you think it is. Some lectures are kinda boring. Clusters are not as cool as the NSA at orientation hype them up to be. There are so many cooler classes in different areas that are so much better than this cluster. BUT THIS CLUSTER WAS NOT TERRIBLE. Its just a very okay class.

Overall, good cluster. Course topics can be NSFW at times (especially in the book we had to read and write a paper about, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous). Kinda boring sometimes. Discussion is fun.

I loved taking this cluster with Rensel. She taught it with Panofsky and Lee during my quarter and they're all great in my opinion. I took the first two quarters in person, which was very entertaining and informative. The information is very interesting and applicable to exams. If you go to class, exams are a breeze with a quick review. The class is somewhat tedious with assignments, but are most definitely manageable. They are not difficult or time-consuming. Just a lot that I often forgot about. If you keep on top of these, you'll definitely get an A. Rensel was incredibly accommodating and personable. Before classes were remote, the professors all held lunch office hours to encourage students to stop and drop by. Would definitely recommend this cluster to freshman who are interested in biotech.
