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.

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)

The first half of this class has a different professor, Dr. Even jokes and kind of rambles then loads a lot of vocabulary quickly in lectures. Tests used lecture concepts but also had to understand specifics a person could google for vocabulary matching questions
