Such a sweet professor. Very passionate about this class. A ton of material to memorize but the exams only test how much you can recall on big themes and general topics. Write down the bolded vocabulary words and list everything you know about the word. This studying strategy will mirror the exam format. Like any other class, prepare well!

The class grading scale is trash. 40% Midterm, 60% Final. Nothing else is accounted for, so you better prepare and do well on both the Midterm and the Final. Heavily based on cladograms.

Super nice guy! He's very passionate about paleontology and paleobotany. Posts complete outlines w/ full sentences for each lecture, so attendance wasn't mandatory but he's an interesting speaker. Lecture material is dense and may seem overwhelming, but exams just makes you list out all the facts that you know about big, important topics.

A wonderful person and a passionate professor that really comes alive with the subject of botany. He's very deep into the material, so if you aren't a bio major you will have to work harder to catch up, but he encourages everyone to take the chance to learn and participate. A really fun guy who wants you to succeed and enjoy plant science.

EEMB136LAB . 9 Years Ago

Very boring class but they provide notes on GS so you dont have to go to class. TAKE THE LAB, super easy class its 3 hours long but only takes 1.5 MAX. Lecture is entirely MT/Final so just prepare ahead and Answer the questions at the end of his lecture notes (MUST).

Bruce is the best teacher I have ever had. Please take his classes, and get to know him. HE is an inspiration, a great person, and one stylish cool cat (with a hat).
