Don't do it guys. Just pick a different class/prof. Unless you are OBSESSED with the topic he is teaching, you're in for a rude awakening. Not worth it. Topics are dense and tests are unrealistic for those not obsessed with the material. Essay grading? Ugh just pick a different class guys.

Grade is really dependent on ability to test take, you have to be able to read dichotomous keys but you can always have them on cheat sheets, curve really helps after tests. Otherwise very decent: hardly any homework, easy labs, just pay attention in lecture and it shouldn't be too hard if you practice what is assigned which isn't much at all.

very hard to hear him, sit in the front if u actually care. the class is pretty unorganized so it's kinda difficult to take notes. the labs are really easy though

Lectures were not mandatory and were confusing. Could never hear him. Sections were mandatory and important for grades.

Very nice guy but Dinosaurs is not an easy GE and is extremely heavy on the midterm and final. You will receive a bad grade if you do bad on the tests, doesn't matter if you turned in all the labs and got 100%. Questions on the final were not very well covered in sections, have to really pay attention in lecture.

Prof is nice and caring, labs were easy and fun (cool fossils). But very lecture heavy. Midterm was ok with cheat sheet and he curves but the final was a whole other beast. Very hard even with a cheat sheet. Def. a harder GE but sometimes fun. He has a really soft voice so don't sit in the back and def memorize cladograms, no mandatory attendance.
