Dr.Krishnan displays a lot of things I admire. I first took her course last semester and saw how difficult the work was, but how great of an instructor she is for such a tough course. She is the only professor for Molecular and genetics but manages to personally get to know each individual and how to better break things down even if no one says anything, she simply will look and see any sign of confusion and will further break it down. She does this for several classes. I had her for molecular, with almost 30 students, including a blind student they put in her full class. I watched her instruct us, (with toys, songs and even Star Wars analogy’s sometimes) and still stop and personally take the hand of the blind student and guide his hand along a cell model she slaughtered after to teach him.
