Midterm and Final had a failing average, people should not take this class as an easy GE.

Andy is the definition of a girlboss.Not only does he support the right of students to go on strike, he also singlehandedly took over labs when the TAs striked, going above and beyond his professor duties.Also after the midterm, he curved it&offered test corrections which gave back half credit if you pay attention in class, he's pretty funny too.

Lectures are boring and the professor can't teach. Goes off on tangents and talks about irrelevant things. Just watch classes online, go to your section, and pray for a good TA because they're the ones who are helping you pass this class.

Took EARTH7 as a GE and would probably not take it again. There was a lot of content to memorize so don't consider this an easy A class. Professor was also dry in lecture. Section was good though, TA was helpful and you can easily get As on the labs if you ask for help. If the topic is something you're interested in though, it's not that bad.

Andy seems like a nice guy but I am not rockin with his teaching skills. His lectures were a confusing array of slides and anecdotes. There is a disturbing amount of material that is expected to be memorized. I relied heavily on my TA explaining the material during our weekly section.

This class was awful. I took it because I had to get more units in and thought it wouldnt be that hard but I was wrong. The labs and homework are the only reason I passed and that was because I got a good TA. However, he had no set grading procedures and gave a midterm and final that he made worth 50% at the last minute. DO NOT TAKE!!

Lectures are fairly interesting and you can tell he really enjoys what he's talking about. It's a good class if you want to fill your GE. Labs and homework are really easy, midterm and final questions are a little confusing but you can get by. You have to show up to lecture in person, it is impossible to understand him through zoom bc of low voice.

When writing papers, Andy doesn't grade you on your content, he grades you on your writing skills (which is completely bogus). His lectures are super heavy with a lot of material that seems to get clustered in his exams. This class was the first and only class to give me an anxiety attack over all the stress it caused me. AVOID HIS CLASSES!

Andy cares a lot about his students so sometimes he seems offended when we don't put in 100%. He really just wants to help although he might be a tough grader with the writing assignments. I really enjoyed the field trips though!!

This class is pretty easy. They mark fairly easily in labs and the content isn't hard to understand. For the final, memorise the cladograms and it will get you most of the way there. After that you just have to remember some interesting stuff he mentions in lecture.

This a great guy and an awesome professor.It's hard but you need to stay awake in lecture. He has a very low voice but he does have interesting things to say. Do your best to keep up on the reading(it's not essential but it definitely helps. And know the cladograms.

Best professor ever! Lectures are very organized and clear. He posts all lectures and lecture notes online. The professor is very helpful,kind,and enjoys teaching the subject.Attendance in lecture is not mandatory but section is(cool labs). This class is easy if you use the tools he provides on gauchospace. Also he's kinda cute and very funny.
