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.

The final was way harder than the midterms, but the rest of the class was pretty easy in my opinion. We got a cheatsheet on all tests + labs are easy. He's a chill guy and passionate about the subject, but beware he has a pretty monotone and quiet voice so lectures will be boring. Sit in the front if you can and study the cladogram!

Cheat sheet allowed for midterm and final. Tests aren't too difficult as long as you put your cladograms on your cheat sheet and are familiar with evolutionary novelties. First few weeks are mostly about rocks, takes a bit to get to dinosaurs. Enjoyed this class and now I know a lot of stuff about dinosaurs and birds.
