He is a very nice guy and a good teacher. His lectures were a little boring, but short and clear. Good class overall.

ugh. i wanted to die. cold, boring, lame.

The "Age of the Dinos" class is not what many of us expected because he covers the material based on an Evolutionary perspective. His lecturing style is a bit unclear with slides mostly of pictures and few readily outlined info; and you have to be quick with taking notes, since everything isn't spoonfed for you. The curve helps you and labs are eas

He tries to make it interesting and i give him credit for effort. Yet, somehow he was able to bore me out of my mind in this class. Lectures are so random and have very little tying them together. I didnt know what to write down and what to just let pass by.

Really interesting class and pretty easy for the most part IF YOU GO TO LECTURE. I made the mistake of not going, and my grade suffered. Everything you need to know is in lecture and try not to fall asleep. Andy is awesome and is really into the material but he has a very soft voice that can make you tired. Good class though!

Wyss is very very clear in his lectures. Take notes on what he says and study those for the tests (which are hard but graded very easily). Don't worry about your grade. Don't buy the text, its a waste of money and you don't need it...

I agree with the above except I thought the clss was interesting. It's basically a bunch of pretty colorful slides and u just take note on what he says. Tests are practically only based on notes, so you don't really need a textbook which cost me 75 bucks cause I didn't know I wouldn't need it!

Clear lectures, but simply boring as hell. I think I stayed awake in 2 lectures the whole quarters and that was with help from my carmel latte. Good luck.

The lectures are really boring and unfortunatly your text is only helpful for the labs- which are easy. There is a big curve- so dont worry that much
