Guidelines are filtering me. I studied for the exam, and it was still difficult. If you do badly on midterm one, there's a low chance of your grade rising again, exams made up almost ALL of your grade, and there was barely a curve. So many people had to drop.

His personality and lectures are so good but the exam was wack for no reason. Genuinely studied as much as I could to do just okay on it, average was 66%. Lectures are recorded. No iClicker grade. The 2 exams make up 90% of the grade (although there is a decent curve). He genuinely made me enjoy ecology however, and I'm really grateful for that.

Great professor and person. He covers material in a very simplistic but good way. Honestly a great lecturer, very cool material covered alongside him being a great lecturer. However, tests were kinda hard and not totally what we learned in class and I did a bit better than avg in the class, still got a C+, so idk

He is a very good lecturer and makes students participate in the lecture, which is very helpful. The only reason I am not giving him a 5 is because his grading system is sooooo weird. Unlike every other teacher who has a 80-82.5% (B-), 83-86.5% (B), and 87-89.5% (B+) grading scale, his scores are B-=(80-81), B=82-88, and B+= 89.

He's an amazing lecturer, his tests are awful. I took him in the summer, and the class itself was amazing and he makes learning information fun. Dude his tests tho... They were full of synthesis questions, which really makes you learn the material, the issue was THERE WAS TOO MUCH. Fun class and great prof, but oh god

While this course is test heavy with 90% of your grade relying on two multiple choice, online tests, the course is still enjoyable. The first test was on ecology (I got a 78%), and the final was on evolution (I got an 89%). Class averages were high so there was minimal rounding. He tells you exactly what to expect on tests (45 questions each)
