Hey all,
I just wanted to post a quick thread and am hoping for just a couple of replies at best and then it can be buried. Basically, I'm worried. I'm taking Genetics this quarter and our professor was recently hired so no one knows her testing style. She's a great teacher, but I'm worried because as we were asking questions about our exam she said to know the main concepts but to not worry about calculations. We haven't done any calculations in class and she advised us to not spend our time going through the problems in the book because it wouldn't be useful on the test. When someone in the class asked if we should bring a calculator to the exam she said no. I've talked to other people at my school who have taken it before and they have had a very different experience. Has anyone here had a really heavy theory based genetics class with maybe one calculation a test? To be fair she did say to know the theory of Chi-square analysis. Basically, should I be worried? I've always thought (and heard) that Genetics was more number heavy and am stressing out because it doesn't seem like this is the norm.
