Comment:
I highly recommend Prof. Guss. She is one of the kindest professors I have ever had. As an example if she asks you a question and you answer wrong, she'll respond with "I'm so glad you answered that way" and then she'll correct you. Textbook reading is a bit excessive but everything is explained in detail in her lectures.

Comment:
I had Prof Guss for bio125 and genetics. She was a GREAT intro to bio prof, but genetics was miserable. Labs were super long and went over 3hrs. Her lectures were hard to follow and very boring. She tried to teach a different method for punnett squares which really didn't make sense. I would def suggest another prof for genetics.

Professor Guss is awesome! Her lectures are very thorough and she is always willing to spend extra time on a topic if the class doesn't seem to understand. It took me a week or two to get used to her style but afterward I was very happy with it! Plus her lectures are just very interesting! Labs coincide nicely with class material.

Comment:
Her class lectures are not always the most exciting in the world, but she's a great professor and clearly loves the subject. Labs can be long and sometimes require out of class work, but they're a great experience. Tests are similar to practice questions handed out, and quizzes are easy and fairly straightfoward.

Love her! I'm not a major or a minor but she really took time to help me out and guide me. Super clear and organized in class and very energentic about the material. Tests are straight forward and graded fairly. She really wants students to learn and excel. Take her take her take her. You won't regret it.

Comment:
Well definately not my one of my favorites. I think shes rather superficial. And she doesn't give people a chance to improve (which is what learning is all about, no? I mean if you do it and get it wrong the first time how are you gonna learn if you can't do it again, or at least TRY to fix your mistakes...?)

She was great. Very clear and energetic about the subject matter. Very willing to help and tried very hard to learn everyone's names. That was nice.

Guss will tell you if she doesn't know the answer to a question, which is preferable to making crap up. There are many unanswered questions in bio (hence all the research), but that doesn't reflect on her intelligence. Great professor, extremely helpful.

OH MY GOD!!! Professor Guss rocks my biological world!!! I loved biology to begin with, but she's just so engaging in her lectures and is ridiculously helpful when you need it. She's been an encouragement all the way. Go Professor Guss!!!

Love her! When I had her she was new to the school and seemed to be quite nervous but besides that she is awesome. Would be a great advisor. My one complaint is that she spend too much time on some material when a couple students dont understand it.
