Good
I've read other comments on Professor Ross and she is NOT rude at all. She will sometimes go a little fast but when she does she realizes it and will repeat. She is very understanding and super fun. She will definitely work with you if you are willing to put in the time.

Awful
Professor Ross is rude because she teaches extremely fast through the material and has a bad attitude. I do not recommend you to take her.

Resume
2009
Texas A&M Health Science Center
Institute for Biosciences and Technology
I was employed as an NIH-funded post-doctoral fellow at The Texas Children's Microbiome Center. I gained extensive experience utilizing bioinformatics and metabolomics to understand how antibiotic exposure alters the intestinal microbiota and increases susceptibility to Clostridium difficile infection. My research aimed to identify disease biomarkers as well as species of bacteria associated with disease susceptibility.
