Poor
Doctor Blakey is very kind. She's knowledgeable about genetics. However, her lectures are really hard to follow and can be confusing. I suggest you try to take good notes and ask lots of questions. Also, she will remember whether you are working hard and improving during the semester and can help you at the end of the semester if necessary. Her laboratories were easy too.
