Favorite Biotech Class and Why: From MCC: I would say Advanced techniques was my favorite class. The reason why this was my favorite is because this class provided me with many hands-on techniques and skills that I would have not gotten in any other school or by any other professor. Thanks to Dr. Bladon and Professor Patev. From NEU: My favorite class so far was Ethical Issues in Communication taught by Dr. Mackiewicz. The reason why this was my favorite class is because by far she has been one of the most supporting professors I have ever had. Dr. Mack made sure we all understood every little piece of information while lecturing class. I never wanted to miss any of her classes because they were fun while learning very well the material.
Fun Fact: I’m a Yankees fan 🙂
