I love this man! He is an awesome teacher, he loves what he does, he gets you interested and makes lectures interesting. The TA's were great too, lab always helped to clarify things. You use a textbook for lectures that is like fill in the blank so you don't have to be constantly taking notes. highly recommend this class.

Professor Booth is a nice man but not the greatest professor. He goes out on tangents a lot. Class was entertaining, but I learned a lot more about children in Africa and genetic disorders of his past students than what was on the test. If you take this class make sure you find a good TA who can explain everything to you in lab.
