PUMS - MD Medical Genetics

Dr. Georgina turns difficult topics in genetics into clear and simple concepts that are easy to digest! For the first time I feel like am starting to understand the Central Dogma and related subjects better thanks to her. She's also greatly commited to student success by answering to students questions and concerns about the subject.

I like how she breaks down the information in small and easy to understand pieces. There's no need to overcomplicate things like other science teachers love to do.

Inclusion of the "gender identity" update was unscientific and does not belong in a medical lecture.

Helpful vik of birth and postpartum doula of birth of a few days to get the best of

The analogy of the central dogma is the best explanation I've ever heard!!

I appreciate the approach to clear concepts and road map to the subject matter.

This subject was amazing to learn, and Georgina makes it easy to understand, so I could say that really loved this course, thank you.

Well structured and comprehensible. Ms Georgina Cornwall makes pleasant pauses between sentences, speaks clearly and explains so that it is easy to follow. The questions afterwards are also very helpful.

I understand that medical genetics is a difficult course to review but improvements are definitely needed in the following areas: 1. State and simplify definitions. Too often i need to refer to Google for a more basic explanation. 2. Please stop assuming basic knowledge is still fresh. I haven't study genetics in 7 years and i have forgotten EVERYTHING! So, along the way and with each new concept please give some foundational information.

Topic is not comparing the topics from previous topics in the table form. Then students will remembered

Ms Cornwall presentations hard to understand with no clear imaging and orientation of the slides

Literally worst professor ever, she seems so desoriented and feels like she haven't even prepared the class

It is too simple like introductory biology. We need more advanced molecular biology

Great way to remember the three portions of the ribosome!

I, really, liked ALL of Dr. Cornwall's lectures, but did NOT find time to rate them! I am, still, trying to put it all together because molecular biology is my most difficult subject, but Dr. Cornwall put together much that I knew -- and I am far better off than beforehand! I, definitely, now understand as much as any medical student ought to about molecular biology -- and thus, I am glad that I made notes the whole way, giving me paperwork to re-think all that Dr. Cornwall taught me! Thus, I wish Dr. Cornwall the best and am grateful! :)

It is very useful although the explanations can be more in-depth.

Georgia Cornwall has done a conscientious job at teaching molecular and cellular biology -- and I enjoy it daily! :)

The explanation are cleared. However, they are not included many scientific terms and scientific details that necessary to well understand the content and to do well in the MCAT exam. In other words the content of that lecture are too simple for MCAT students.

I appreciate how both processes were explained and the difference between the two because I always seem to confuse them.

Thoroughly explained what is essential for test takers like me

Very nice professor Nice material So benefits substitute and easy to gain

How can the process of charging of tRNA be explained if the concept of tRNA has not been presented? What tRNA does and then how it's charged. I am loosing too much time googling stuff. Maybe it has been presented, but it's not part of this playlist, which should be complete.

This explanation was not clear at all. I had to research a lot of information elsewhere to understand the concepts presented. This is the exact opposite of what is to be expected of something that should make students life easier.

yummye yummy yumme yom? yommer yom yom yom; yom yom yom.

Dr. Ahem explained a complex concept in a very interesting and simple way. Straight to the point and informative. Thank you

very good knowledge gained. Learnt a lot about RNA and DNA and messenger RNA

The concepts mentioned in this lecture are very confusing and poorly explained. She made no effort to clarify the meaning of homeodomain, homeoprotein, and other such concepts. Also, she seems very unsure of what she is teaching and the speed is too fast to properly retain the information.

It was very comprehensive and I loved how easy it was to understand

I liked the course ,but a little more explination is needed in each of the clases

in depth knowledge on DNA splicing, ecor 1 and so the base pairs want to stick together and then ligase comes along to stick together the backbones, the phosphate-sugar backbones. Here you can see how the two pieces come together and now we have a recombinant DNA molecule. Again, we are generally looking at a circular chromosome and a foreign piece of DNA being inserted into that circular chromosome and so we'll see two ends of sticky ends and insertion of that sequence.

This lecture gave me a brief knowledge on how rDNA is made.

Easy to understand I like that subject Clear explanations relevant for my dream job

I liked the lecture. It was clear and concise. I liked it better if the lecturer used more visuals of techniques.

Very clear explanation, I understood everything quite well. Key concepts.

I liked this lecture and I also like this teacher. I just sometimes find the explanations a little be confusing.

A student could do this lecture and it would be easier to understand. we expect better lectures from professors.

I completed this course 100 % . I also got all answers and I want to certificate

I'm really enjoying Dr. Cornwall lectures, I love the way she explains things!

Clearly presented talks and material. Very useful for undergraduate students.

This topic is OVERLY simplified. It needs more in-depth explaination, which she claimed to offer later. But this brief section creates even more confusion... Maybe it is better to do a PROPER introduction, or just cut this one out... Also, she herself seems to be unsure and confused. I am not sure what her profession is, but DNA doesn't seem to be a topic, which she should lecture on... In the middle of the video she just blanked, and kind of skipped on some points... (That's not the first time or first lecture that she does that...) P.S. The powerpoint is also not accurate... The coding strand around 0:52 is indicated as template strand... This lecture is quite disappointing, and frankly, a very low quality compare to other Lecturio's lectures.

I like the explanation of the surgical and non-surgical treatments

More organization is needed to explain this lecture because is an important part of the DNA synthesis.

It's well presented and relatively easy to understand. It has helped me understand various concepts

Content is spot on. And quizzes at the end of each videos are very helpful. Hope Georgina used a cursor or infra red light to point exactly what she was talking similar to other lecturers from other videos. An animated video clip of how each or some of the topics would be very useful.

Hello, I love supporting women in science and education, etc. I also will share my honest opinion to improve the educational site. This lecturer, while alright, is not the best you could get for Lecturio students. Her constant glancing over her notes is distracting and she is not very well articulated. Even though she is Ph.D., she has not digested her lecturing materials to the master's level. It is very unfortunate that she lectures on one of the most important subjects within your platform. Why you chose her? For the sake of diversity and involvement? I am sure there are much better and knowledgeable lady lecturers. Did not you see the disengagement and flaw after a couple of her lectures? Was she so cheap?

Biochemistry by Georgina Cornwall is not good at all, she reads all the time and she doesn't even know what to talk about.

She didn't talk about the template strand. the prof fumbled with the coding strand and im actually confused if the coding strand, or the tremplate strand matches the sequence of the mRNA. She definitely seems disorganized. It didn't flow at all.

Excellent lecture. This is one of the key general pediatrics topic. So it's important to have some knowledge about it. Thank you.

I learned many things in this short and excellent lecture that I was not taught after 2 years of residency in pediatrics. Now I feel more confident regarding this topic.

Very condensed, but a well-taught lecture. I love the teacher´s style.

This lecture has helped me a lot thank you so much!!

SHE IS NOT CONFIDENT IN TEACHING AND RUINS THE MOOD OF LEARNING

Good lecture, all aspects of the diseases are explained in a clear manner.

i like but the fomr like the professor express can distract a little

Awesome! I like how fluent the Dr. is. Keep the hard work.

I use Emery’s Elements of Medical Genetics 15th edition as primary study material, which i recommend for anyone to use. I decided to take this course as a supplement and ended up confused and annoyed. Simple learning objectives of this course lectures are harder to understand due to poor explanation and as far as i can tell the professor seems stressed, disoriented and confused herself. Lectures need a rework. Despite that, the articles are pretty good and helpful, PowerPoint slides are useful to an extend.

The introduction provided me with the basic concepts of genetics

he is the only lecturer who helped me to understand the embryology!!! he is gold!!!

Good summary of the disease. Easy to remember. Good to have the risk-factors! Thank you!

i liked the details and visualization. should have been there more mobility in the slides tho.

Need to explain better as it is very complicated and confuses us even more than we were before

Lesson was so fast and not understandable .Lecturer should have gone from easy points to harder points.She could not make it easier this topic for me .She did not use her hand at all during the lesson.This is so lazy way for giving a lesson and unproffesional.

she reads from her notes too much, strikes me as someone who does not have a firm grasp on what she is teaching.

Very clear and succinct. May have gone a bit too fast, but that's always manageable

Basic topics which i had difficulties in understanding has been well explained and now I have fixed the knowledge :) Suggestion: it's hard to cover the extremely fast growing biotechnology topic but I guess "omics" would be good to add

He takes into consideration the most important points. One of the greatest teachers in this platform.

I really liked it and enjoyed Dr Cornwall'ss explanation. The only issue was that the video slowed at some point.

Despite the mishaps, I thought the information was understandable. Especially the ending when she connected Trp and Lac operons with repressible and inducible.

Important topic for neonatal medicine. All the information to suspect the disease is contained within the lecture. Thank you!

Most of it was good and understandable but towards the end, it became quite confusing to follow along.

this app is amazing thank you doctor, for helping me

this is a good lecture i really understand a lot of thing i haven't know before tysm

simply explained so well understood, very well done. lots of info but concise

i understand it though, you just need to concentrate on what the prof is saying and correlate well with the diagram then youll understand

Great concise videos covering salient points in biotech. Most of material is well presented though some concepts I've had to supplement with other sources to fully understand. Overall, great useful series. Thank-you Dr. Cornwall!

It is a good introduction for the following classes. It's not confusing, but more information could be added

Liked it too much as it's so easy to understand ????...but cannot afford premium ????

This video is very helpful and high yield! Keep it up!

Dr. Cornwall is awesome! Her lecture are clear and concise. She makes the material so much more digestible.

Dr. Cornwall is fantastic! The biotechnology series helped me SO MUCH going into lecture.

She keeps it short and simple. Great work in this video. It's great prep before going into a lecture!

Interesting and informative! Expounded well on complex concepts and gave a riveting lecture.

I enjoyed the overview and the clear explanations of the different diseases. I would have liked more details concerning the clinical exam. However this lecture does serve the purpose of giving the student a clear view of the most common paediatric diseases.

TOO SIMPLIFIED AND IT SEEMS LIKE THE LECTURER WASN'T WELL-PREPARED FOR THE LECTURE KEEP SAYING NONSENSICAL WORDS. I AM REALLY FURIOUS AND FRUSTRATED LISTENING TO HER LECTURE.

I suppose it depends on your learning style. That is, most of the medical students I've spoken to, appreciate concise and coherent lectures - Unfortunately, in my personal opinion, this micro-lecture lacked the fundamental high concentration of information that most of us are looking for - to take notes, and practice the spaced repetition model. Instead, her speaking pace, and vocal expression are slightly too fast and the way in which she attempts to outline a basic idea isn't linear in nature which leads the viewer wanting to know more, while simultaneously trying to ignore the off-topic rants. Note: Clearly, she's qualified to teach - however, valid of a point that may be, doesn't mean she has the practical communication skills to do so. Therefore, this is not a question of intelligence, rather - communication and linguistic expression. There will certainly people who prefer this method, I however, can not recommend.

I had many doubts but with the lection, I improved much better

The lectures seem to cover all the necessary contents, but it’s often difficult to understand the topic until I go over the video again for several times.

This lecture clearly points out the differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells in protein synthesis. It would be helpful for those who wish to briefly know how proteins are formed in each type of cell.

As I stated in prior lessons, Dr. Cornwall is such of an amazing instructor!!! She makes easy to understand heavy contents

I would like to inform you that from 3:54 onwards there is neither the transcription nor the translation in other languages. I hope you will solve it as soon as possible because some concepts I cannot translate from English into Italian. Thank you in advance

very didactic I really enjoy Dr. Cornwall lectures, definitely Lecturio was the best addition to my preparation

Those lectures were very organized, very rich of very important information , and simple to understand them

Well explained and easy to understand the concept. I'm on the right track and enjoying the course.

the explanation is complicated it could be simplified more better

Very well explained. Would have appreciated had the lecture been a bit more comprehensive on certain topics, like in DNA replication and also a dynamic step by step diagram of the process would have been better to understand.

It is very concise but it provides enough information. I am very satisfied with Lecturio because this course and Biochemistry are exactly what i was looking for.

Great Great great great great great great great great great

Ggghh hhjj hjkkllj jjkpppo hjk hjkk hukkk huiook hhjkk hhjjj jkkkkk uikkkkkk hkkkj

VERY clear explanation of how this works, I love Ahern's lectures.

It is an xcellent explication! I understend it at all. Thank you

This class was really hard to memorize for me, and to answer the questions even more. But the explanation was very clear thanks. After 3 times of repetition i was abble to answer the questions.

Each RNA should be shown in the picture like above

It is a good course but the content here is not really high yield.Do we need to spend so much time on it?

Love the details but mainly high yield information. Great recap.

Very clear and useful for me to finally get a grip on this topic.

i can't understand why a lot of amazing videos have 1star points

The lecturer tripping up make it a little difficult to follow but it is made clear in the end.

Talking about things that aren't on the slide https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/ShowRatings.jsp?tid=833581

This is incredibly difficult to follow with the lecturer mis-speaking constantly

need another resource for this topic as these lectures have confused me more

if the professor says she gets it confused when lecturing she should not be teaching it.

This is one of the few videos in this video series where the video cuts before the lecturer is done talking or before she's done with the material for the section. For example, in this one she only discusses E site and video cuts... what about the other 2 sites on the ribosome?

The instructor reading off the podium is not appreciated. It doesn't entice the viewer to keep watching.

I like a lot both the explanations and illustrations to the topic.

Didn't explain clearly and concisely which each type of RNA was as well as providing its clear function. Additionally, it is best to provide the correct definition thus, followed by an analogy. Starting with an analogy of how the different RNA types can make the lesson hard to follow as well as, causing confusion in the actual definition of the term. This particular video was hard to gather information from.

4/5 also add on the replication bubble but as far as the other information well done i understood the concept

The lecturer is very thorough and makes the series interesting

Great lecture, Dr Georgina explains clearly what we are required to know

she was understandable! i liked her! i am so prepared for the next test we will be doing

The professor did not do a good job explaining concepts clearly, went too fast, covered little material

there wasn't enough details at some points. The topics, for me, are a little tough and the techer wasn't seems to be confident with the material. although the slides are very helpful to understand the topic.

Excellent ! I finally understand the topic after forgetting it many times ! Much better than First Aid !

Thank you for making this topic easy to understand. This makes revision straightforward.

Very confusing lecture. Need to explain the terms more in detail.

Gives you the basis and covers the necessary topics for a good understanding .

As you mention words/features, would be nice if the words on the screen were highlighted on the images. Hard to find them in the midst of listening.

I thought that this was very thorough and went over lots of the material that my current professor is going over. Some of the questions were either a little simple but reiterated take home points, or were left-field as the material was not covered in the specific video I just watched. Overall I would recommend this course to anyone struggling in genetics + read the comments because she does a great job in answering and clarifying questions you may not know that you had.

This particular class video is not very helpful at all. I feel like genomic imprinting can be explained more efficiently and more clearly than what is portrayed in the video.

Thank you sir for keeping it simple and easy to understand!

AMAZING LECTURER I UNDERSTOOD QUITE WELL. TAUGHT KEY CONCEPTS. STRAIGHT TO THE POINT

she looked like she was reading from a script and not focused or natural.

Well done! Very targeted information. For those that say it’s not as deep as their classroom lecture, it is not designed to be. Again,what we are supposed to get out of this course is the high yield information...and we are getting it. Thank you so much Dr. Cornwall.

i rated this presentation because it is well prepared and well summarised medical students and residents should go through it.

Easy to understand...high yield information....great graphics,well done!

Easier to comprehend with the use of great illustrations. concise and crisp presentations

Clear explanations but the lack of diagrams and images for the explanations is very problematic. Add that then it would be really helpful

explained so well and understandable, informations needed about this topic is all covered successfully and made clear.

Excellent timeline with very clear outline of important events, names, and features.

Great succinct overview of oogenesis. It's a great overview for revision.

Good succinct intro to spermatogenesis; covers all the basics upon which to build a foundation.

You do a wonderful job of clearly and concisely breaking down concepts.

Genetics generally is a very confusing part, I think she made it quite interesting and I grabbed a whole lot

The explanation of concepts were precise and focused. I like the pictoral representations I'll recommend the lecture to my friends, who are taking USMLE Step 1

I needed an update on genetic like this one, i like the way is shown every part and all the details within, i recomend this article to everybody.

"... and we know that the DNA was taken up because the plant grows tumors OR NOT..." Taking the term "tentative scientific language" to another level!! LMFAO >D

Great explanation, very clear and detailing the most important facts.

lectures are very exciting and informative provided someone have basic knowledge of genetics. With reference to USMLE, I am afraid to say that is it is helping.

She talks too fast. Additionally, she reads from her notes too much, strikes me as someone who does not have a firm grasp on what she is teaching.

I highly recommend his classes, he knows how to handle the contents with great coherence and his way of explaining is impeccable

too many irelevant details about certain topics and completely forgot to mention other important topics

Its hard to pay attention on her lectures because she always pauses to read her notes.

Very clear teaching, very well explained and I liked the used of examples and the not purely reading from the screen. Thank you very much!

The lecture are awesome. It is just easy to understand Thank you very much!

I’m following this course as I’m attending this course at my university, it very helpful, but I wish it was as detailed as our class are.

Very good presentation, i understand the concepts an the time for the diagnosis, thanks!

Me encanta como se enseña! Ya quisiera tener una profesora como ella en la Universidad!

I had to try so hard to follow what lecture was teaching, subject matter is quite abstract. All the same thanks for trying.

I had to try so hard to follow what lecture was teaching, i remember i enjoyed this better in med sch. All the same thanks for trying.

this topic is quite too cumbersome and lecturer didn't seem to be in control of material presentation

Nice intro to genetics, subject that's usually scary but very well carried out. thank you

great lecturer with an incredible pitch and clarity but this subject rather fees boring and i tend to get the post lecture quizzes wrong but its all good. I need to read elsewhere but all the same keep up the good work.

I feel that the delivery is good but the content is not detailed enough, e.g. when talking about splicing, I think it would have helped to talk about what ‘snurps’ are involved and how this relates to initiation.

it is really good ,some hesitation at the beginning but the diagram is very informative ,whopple hypothesis needs more explanation.

Well-structured, with emphasis on high-yield pieces of info. Saves time for memorization

excellent she is a very good teacher, the grafhics are didactical she explains in a very simple way, i like it

The course was well explained. It is confusing subject matter, but she did her best to make it understandable. She is funny, energetic and lively

This is course is still challenging me but i can understand how abstract the concepts are i think i need an in-depth review of course

Thank you Dr. Cornwall, I really think genetics is quite a difficult concept so you are doing your very best, i must admit its very confusing at times i will need go over the concepts again.

Unveiled the key points, without the need to make so many detours

Good content, I like this course, but this particular class could be a bit clearer

I am having my genetics exam soon and this course was extremely helpful to better understand the information. Thank you !

very fast, please slow down . and we need more detailed lectures

Education is a performing art; less reading more personality. She has great potential.

These lectures are good , but it needs improvement it should be more in details , and the actions are not mentioned in its orders for example first of all initiation then elongation finally termination ..

Dr. Cornwall hesitates a lot, and seems unprepared and unsure. Make people feel like she is reading the material and even not familiar with the reading materials. It is really confusing.

I liked that she really knows what she is talking about and is able to explain complicated things with examples from everyday life.

I really could understand this lecture easily. Even the mid time of lecture gives questions are more helpful for interacting with it.

Great Job, I really enjoyed the lectures! very easy to follow!

This lecture and the one before are not so well explained. The clamp loader part and the process of semi discontinuous replication need more in depth explanation

it was really helpful,but a bit fast, good details and nice explaining

Structurally complete, however, relatively outdated. Enough for medical study purposes.

great lecture! I still feel the need to fill in the gaps but it has given me an overview of gene regulation

Dr Georgina is amazing. Thank you for making all these difficult concepts easier for us.

I like the Lecture it explain many things but there are very important thinks haven't been explained like how to knockout some genes by using shRNA or siRNA. I know that you explain CRSPR which is the greatest method ever . But I think is necessary to talk about shRNA, siRNA and what the advantage and disadvantag because everyday in school we here about them and I think they need to coverd in this lecture. Thanks

Don't replace her. Good OVERVIEW/REVIEW of the material at hand. Her pace is good. Her voice and expression and everything else is dynamic and engaging.

Please replace her. Explanation is very poor, she hesitate a lot, and seems unprepared and unsure. It is confusing and in comparison to a lot of lecturers you have here, the standard is incredibly low!

Though it was good. Be patient w/ Imprinting the slides in Prader Willi/Angelman give a good visual of what it is.

The course didn't deliver the main message I was searching for. I hoped to find a more concise and direct material for each topic. The Genetic Course did not help at all for what I was searching. I was hoping for high-yield topics and a more direct delivery of the material. We have too little time.
