Emily Putnam

Professor Putnam is amazing. She is super sweet and very passionate about the material. She really cares about her students and is very helpful if you reach out to her. I personally liked her teaching style because I was able to recall what we learned. Her exams were quite easy, if you pay attention in class, take notes and understand the big picture you are chilling.

If you want to enjoy cellular biology and not be stressed out of your mind, Professor Emily Putnam is the solution. She's a "get-the-big-idea" person, so studying for the course is centered around the large and central concepts, instead of all the nitty-gritty details, like memorizing the amino acid names (which I've heard is part of Professor Spritzer's class). She's also really nice and chill, as long as you show up to class. This isn't the kind of class you can skip, as one day missed is half a letter grade deducted from your final grade, unless you do make up work. Also don't show up late, respect her, and she'll respect you!

Professor Putnam was an amazing professor! Super caring about her students and very passionate and knowledgable about the material. She taught us a lot of material and was great about incorporating student questions in the next class's lecture to make sure students understood the material.
