Seminars (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.

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.

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

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! :)

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.

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.

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'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.

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

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.

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

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

The introduction provided me with the basic concepts of genetics

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

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.

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

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 ????

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.

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

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

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?

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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’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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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!
