I took it during fall 2024, I liked the professor, lots of the material was already covered in eemb2/3. Exams were open response in person, not too bad, just read her notes, and do the practice exams (super similar), lecture not recorded. professor was nice and gave snacks when people participated in class. She was sweet and passionate about topic.

Test is all free response which seems daunting but is not too bad. GO TO LECTURE, just reading the slides isn't enough and she doesn't record. You have to put in the time to memorize, but not a hard class. Sometimes, hints at what will be on the exam during class, so make sure to pay attention. Section mandatory and the presentation is not bad

HIGHLY RECOMMEND EEMB 120! Her lectures are super easy to follow and if you go to class she'll give hints on what will be on the midterm. Midterms and final are mostly free response, but she offers extra credit at the end of every test so it's possible to score over 100. The professor also gave out snacks during lecture making class more enjoyable.

Professor pulls all material straight from the textbook. What I thought was going to be a very interesting class turned out to me not wanting to go to lecture. Wouldn't recommend.

She doesn't care about her students. At all. She scheduled office hours during a TA's discussion section and when asked would not schedule secondary office hours. Don't try talking to her after class or she will blow you off and probably won't even remember your name! Her lectures are decent but I don't think she likes students.

slides are not organized and are all over the place. Lectures are boring, even though the subject is interesting. Just read the textbook, honestly. Halfway through the quarter, I just stopped going because the lecture wasn't helping me learn. Read the textbook or just take another ecology at the same time, and you'll do fine for exams.
