HORRIBLE! She is one of the worst professors at UH. Her lectures had nothing to do with the exams. She is a GPA dropper. You have been warned do not and I REPEAT, DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. A friend said it best, I think I would have a better chance of learning Genetics if I learned it from a dog.

She just doesn't how to teach. Students have no idea what to be expected in exams. She read her PPT in class, students don't understand the material. Ask her will confuse us more. I don't understand why a university will keep such professor in position? Wasting our tuition and federal grant...

That teacher knows her stuff well, but she is NOT a TEACHER.you can fall asleep in her class cuz she talks more than writes which is not helpful fr most student, you have to study hard for her class although the material is not bad. Her tests can be hard if you can read her mind. STUDY the homework problems well if you want to pass with a good grad

If the class wasn't listed under Dr. Wells she wouldnt have a single soul enrolled. I dropped her and followed both classes she tought till the end. 80% dropped her out of a couple hundred students. In largest class she had 3 A's, 10 B's, 35 C's and 15 F's. The curve which she dosn't state is calc against left cream of crop students. Shes evil!

Horrible teacher. Genetics is interesting but she totally destroys any interest you had going into the class. I wish i would have dropped cuz now my GPA is shot and i have a, or had a, 3.5, anyways dont sign up for Dr. Wells cause she teaches half the semester. I highly recommend if you want to learn something TAKE SOMEONE ELSE!!!

worst teacher ever. she's rude. she doesnt like it when you ask questions in class. her material is so much harder than it should be. she incorporates high level stats and calculus into her lectures. EVEN HER GRADING SYSTEM REQUIRES YOU TO FIND A STATS BOOK TO UNDERSTAND!!!

Over she is a cool profesor. She knows her information BUT her test are hard if you take her class you must buy the book, read her notes and give atleast four hours a day to study!!! HARD CLASS! Even though you desserve an A, the way she grades can mess you up in the end .... she grades using the Standard Z score. NOT FAIR!

She is not a very effective communicator. Although she is very intelligent, she thinks that all her students are at her Ph.D level and can understand her. I would recommend not taking her unless you want to learn everything yourself and take a lot of outside time to study.

this is my first ever post on this site throughout my entire undergraduate career. I must warn all of you from not taking this professor because you will definitely regret it. I had a sure B in this class as the teacher who taught the other half of the syllabus (Dauwalder) helped me alot.

She talks at a level only PhDs can understand. Not very helpful and hard to follow. Exams are off topic and not reflective of what was taught. Worst professor I ever had.

This is one smart woman but terrible teacher. You'll be on your own, she cant explain in simple terms to save her life. She uses complicated language for simple material. My advice, get another teacher or a tutor ASAP.

She SUCKS!!!!! And she is NOT HOT LOL.....Like i really studied my ass off for her tests but still when i got to her tests i was like WTF?!?! DO NOT TAKE HER!!

If you enjoy failing, take her. This class was called intro to genetics but it felt like she was lecturing to PHD students. Avoid her at all cost.

I read the book and took notes, went to class and took notes on her slides, did the problems w/ the solution manual, and went to tutoring. She's not helpful at all. She pulls her tests out of thin air. I didn't recognize some of the topics on the test! Terrible. Got a B cause DAN WELLS taught the second half of the class. If not, I would've failed.

Her slides were mostly pictures and graphs that DID NOT clearly explain relevant points. She has a very rude and uncompromising tone about her, and she WILL NOT provide any assistanceclarification to exam or essay questions. She might be extremely knowledgeable in her field, but her expertise is definitely not in the classroom -- POOR TEACHER.

Do not take her, literally the exams have nothing to do with any material she teaches. I read all the chapters and still got a 30 on the test. I got tutoring and still no hope. She expects the whole class to automatically understand everything. Worst experience of my college years. If you get a B let alone an A you must be Jesus.

Her tests questions literally comes from thin air, she is a Princeton graduate and expects us to all be so as well. Does not give answers for test once taken, so you kinda guess what you did wrong. Her power points are pictures, do not expect anything in the lecture nor the book to be on the test, the TA didn't understand her either.

By far one of the worst teachers I've ever had. It's almost like she wants you to fail the course. Tests & home works have NOTHING to do with the material. All her lectures are of pictures & graphs. And if you ask her a question she gives attitude. Do yourself a favor & take ANYONE else.

Run away! Her lecture is monotone and fast. Slides change rapidly with no time to absorb what is happening. Exams are ludacrisly difficult to even understand what the question is asking more the less solving. Recitation was helpful, however I wish they would do it after class instead of a random time schedule. Her TA ignores emails also.

By far the worst professor I have taken at UH, & I've had some awful professors. She's not a bad lecturer, don't get me wrong. But her exams are insanely difficult & quantitative. Average of both her tests were a 40/41, that speaks for itself tbh. I did everything I could do & couldn't make an A on either test. SAVE YOUR GPA & DO NOT TAKE HER.

Horrible!!! Worst teacher I have taken in my entire undergraduate studies. Her tests and homework are hard! She is hard overall not just for genetics. Her lectures are boring and she does not even teach half of the stuff that will be on the exam. Concept is understandable but she just makes it hard. Class average for one of the exams was a 20.

When she teaches, the textbook is useless. She is very smart but don't know how to dumb down the material or she likes giving us a hard time. Her Lectures are PPT with only pictures. Record her lectures if you take her. Exam 1 and 2 AVG was 40 ish. If it weren't for Lin in the second half I would not have made it thru the course. DO NOT TAKE HER.

Honestly, there's no sugar coating it. This professor is awful. Her powerpoints have no words or explanations, her lecturing doesn't make sense for the level we were learning at. If you can, take this class with another professor. It's passable bc of the huge curves, but you wont learn anything. I made a 43 on a test and somehow passed w a B-

Professor Wiernasz is very intelligent within her field but her lectures are so fast paced and dense that its hard to keep up from the very beginning. Her tests were extremely difficult. I ended up dropping the course and taking the class with different professors (Dauwalder & Meisel) the next semester and am doing perfectly fine.

She is the WORST teacher at University of Houston! Avoid her at all costs! She doesn't care about student success, and makes all of her classes 10x more difficult than they need to be. Students try to ask her questions and she becomes extremely annoyed and impatient. Please save yourself and save your GPA and do not take this professor for anything

AWFUL!! She basically puts people to sleep and then expects the students to be attentive. Gave everybody a 2.5 on the essay portion as they were similar in her opinion, ofcourse they are as we all used the book to write our answers duh.. Save yourself from this trauma and wait for a semester to take it with another professor. Save your GPA

Do not take this professor! Her tests are awful, there is no information in the slides, she is not flexible at all, argues with students, and I could go on forever. I was taking significantly harder classes at the same time but did the worst in this one. You can get your answers directly from the textbook and she'll still count it wrong. BEWARE.

She is a very odd person. Her lectures are so boring I had to be sure to drink a coffee right before each one. Her exams are worded extremely hard and im usually a very fast exam taker but I always used the whole time for her exams. If you don't pay attention to every word she says and understand it thoroughly, be ready to rely on textbook problems

Terrible professor, end of story.

Hardest and most unfair class I've taken, Practice exams are a joke and in no way a good indicator of the difficulty of the actual exams, no grades dropped. Unclear lectures, they accused MANY students of plagiarism for ONE HW QUESTION possibly ruining their chances of getting into grad school, absolutely brutal and cruel professor. RUN AWAY!!

she single handedly made me hate evolution. she knows her stuff and i learned a good amount but i never got to show that because the exams are extremely difficult, you can study her lectures and other things so much and still do bad. Class avgs were 50s and she does not curve. Shes a very tough grader and this class made me depressed. DO NOT TAKE

If you can, do not take this class with this professor. This class was unnecessarily hard and very unfair. She does not care about the success of her students. Lectures are unclear. Practice exams and homework that were given did not adequately prepare students for the exams. All of the exam averages were very low due to poor teaching.

This prof does not care for her students. Speaks in a monotone voice that even she is not excited about her own material. Doesn't answer student questions in a clear manner. her exams do not make sense! and she won't go over them either. Homework doesn't make sense. Nothing from her lectures. Its impossible to do well in this course

This professor tests her students based off of random things that may have been mentioned once in class. There is no review given to focus on certain topics for the exam. It doesn't help that she has a very monotone and soft in class, so adjusting to her teaching style halfway through the semester will be a very tough task. Take another professor!

This professor has extremely unclear and BORING lectures. Her test questions are often times very hard to understand and obscure. Do NOT take this class if you care about your GPA, she will not fail in ruining it.
