Dr. Dunston
First, I would like to say that while I do not wish to disrespect Dr. Dunston, her teaching methods, or the material she presented. Secondly, I would like to say that her lectures was one of the least captivating that I have ever been to. I really wish that I could have gotten a more enriching experience from this lecture. I do not blame Dr. Dunston; I believe that this problem has more to do with the size of the class. The large class sizes do not allow the students to become involved enough in the class. This poses another problem; it becomes very hard for me to become enveloped in the topic that is being discussed.
Now that that topic has been addressed, I want to talk about genomes. I found it very interesting that Howard University has its own gene research lab. It allows scientists to research the differences and similarities between African-American genomes and African genomes. I wish that the lecture had not been as crowded as it was. Perhaps if it were not, I would have gotten a bit more from this one. I had to sit on the floor due to overcrowding from the cancelled Labor Day class. That contributed to me not having a lot to say about this lecture or lecturer. However, I greatly appreciate the efforts put forth by Dr. Dunston and the Freshman seminar teaching staff to try and impart some knowledge on us.
