Exposes students to current research topics in ecology and evolutionary biology. Students will attend the EEMB departmental seminar each week and participate in a discussion of the seminar research, critiquing the presentation and the content, and drawing parallels with topics from other courses. Students will write a term paper describing and critiquing one seminar.

EEMB113L . 17 Days Ago

You have to memorize so much, which is ridiculous. Her midterm was 100 questions, 50 field questions, and 50 lab questions. The only fun thing about this class is the field trips, but besides that, it is so much work for a 2-unit class, which I would definitely not recoomend but it is a mandatory lab for EEMB majors.

EEMB120 . 1 Year, 10 Months Ago

I took Professor Young for EEMB 120 which was taught by two teachers. I think her lectures were interesting and she really cares for the students. The class itself was rather difficult, the class average for the first midterm was rather low (taught by the other professor), but there was a huge curve and the final (Young's portion) allowed notes!

EEMB113 . Young H S 2 Years Ago

Hillary is all over the place man. We got a 10% curve on this final because she couldn't write the test properly. The first half of the class was not taught by her and was great. She ruined the second half, horrible slides, mid lectures, horrible final. Still a super easy class though.

EEMB120 . 2 Years Ago

Hilary is a great researcher, however she needs to learn that dumping three classes worth of material in 5 weeks is absurd. She covered way more than she needed to and tested on it. Not only were the number of slides ridiculous, her organization was poor and she went through material so fast. She is out of touch.

EEMB120 . 2 Years Ago

I took 113 with Hillary and her portion of the class was extremely unorganized. The slides she lectured from didn't match the slide deck she published and she lectured so fast it was impossible to keep up. Her quizzes and exam asked very detailed questions on topics she only generally explained. Way too high of expectations for a 3 credit class.

EEMB113 . Young H S 2 Years Ago

Lectures are impossible to follow and unorganized. quiz questions are poorly constricted (and tricky) and often ask about material we don't cover nearly enough
