Nice professor, and interesting class. Takes attendance every day. Checking Gauchospace is a must because there will be assignments he may not tell you about. Midterm and final weren't too bad, and were take home. Highly recommend having him read drafts of your final paper, because he does not grade easy on it. Cool guest lectures and field trips.

Interested in a career as a conservationist? Then DO NOT take this class. Talks about parrots EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Takes roll every day. Reading summaries weekly, maybe, if he feels like it. 20 page research paper. Exams made up of student forum questions, plus really OBSCURE facts nobody remembers. waits til last min. to postpone important things
