Grade consists of online quizzes, hw, and 3 exams, so lots of assignments to boost your grade (+extra credit). I almost never went to class but lecture slides are posted online and reading the textbook helped a lot. Not super difficult but LOTS of content so make sure you put in the work and you should be fine. Utilize key terms and practice qs!!!!
I took it during fall 2024, I liked the professor, lots of the material was already covered in eemb2/3. Exams were open response in person, not too bad, just read her notes, and do the practice exams (super similar), lecture not recorded. professor was nice and gave snacks when people participated in class. She was sweet and passionate about topic.
treats us like children a lot of the time but is super nice. always brings snacks for her students and is very open to explaining things over again is clarification is needed. her exams were very difficult however, and brought the grade down a lot. would not personally take her again but she is not a bad professor
Test is all free response which seems daunting but is not too bad. GO TO LECTURE, just reading the slides isn't enough and she doesn't record. You have to put in the time to memorize, but not a hard class. Sometimes, hints at what will be on the exam during class, so make sure to pay attention. Section mandatory and the presentation is not bad
HIGHLY RECOMMEND EEMB 120! Her lectures are super easy to follow and if you go to class she'll give hints on what will be on the midterm. Midterms and final are mostly free response, but she offers extra credit at the end of every test so it's possible to score over 100. The professor also gave out snacks during lecture making class more enjoyable.
Professor pulls all material straight from the textbook. What I thought was going to be a very interesting class turned out to me not wanting to go to lecture. Wouldn't recommend.
She doesn't care about her students. At all. She scheduled office hours during a TA's discussion section and when asked would not schedule secondary office hours. Don't try talking to her after class or she will blow you off and probably won't even remember your name! Her lectures are decent but I don't think she likes students.
slides are not organized and are all over the place. Lectures are boring, even though the subject is interesting. Just read the textbook, honestly. Halfway through the quarter, I just stopped going because the lecture wasn't helping me learn. Read the textbook or just take another ecology at the same time, and you'll do fine for exams.
She is very very kind and takes feedback seriously. The content itself I found very intuitive and easy- and a lot of review from lower division eemb courses. The midterms were more than fair, and the final was not cumulative. She also gives lots of hints during lecture about what exactly is going to be on the test. Study, and you'll def get an A
I highly recommend this class for anyone needing upper division bio credits. The class is really manageable and the workload is not bad at all. The tests are very straightforward and all the info needed is on the slides. Go to lecture because she always drops hints about exactly what she will test on and its been consistent every time. Love her
This class can be a bit boring and there is a decent amount of material. She is an alright lecturer and can be a tad annoying at times. The class is graded based off three non-cumulative exams which are decently easy if you study, online quizzes, and homework. Make sure to pay attention in lecture and reading is helpful for a better understanding.
Amazing and funny professor! Her grading criteria was straightforward with hw assignments being 40% of the grade and exams (3) being 60%. Her lectures emphasized what would be on the tests so I suggest paying attention. I found exams to be based on lecture slides but reading should still be done to solidify info. Practice exams are super helpful!
