Amazing teacher!! Go to class and take notes (he doesn't go fast so it'll be easy to write everything important). No need for textbook because he's so clear in class. Study from your notes and it's an easy A. Enjoyable class as well.

the written portion of his tests are impossible to get all the marks...if you leave out 1 specific word he deducts points like crazy. also, his multiple choice are quite tricky.

Dr. Jans is an amazing professor. He made me laugh in class so many times. He makes classes intersting. Although as an advisor he did not impress me.

Fundamentals of animal behaviour was the BEST class i have ever taken. Yes, it's at 8:45am but totally worth it. Dr. Jans explains so well that if you take really great notes in class and skim the text book, you'll understand everything. His impression of a preying mantis made my life. Super Funny, really interesting class, you HAVE to take it.

Awesome prof. Pay attention to examples in the class lectures and read about them in the text, you'll be fine. Great teaching style, throws in some humour too. Good class.

I did not know what to expect from an Animal Behaviour class, but I LOVE taking Dr. Jans' class. He is clear, funny and knows his stuff. Despite the class being at 8 in the a.m., I look forward to going to class, and am never bored. Exams are fair- no surprises, but you have to do the readings. Overall he is fantastic- and his videos are hilarious.

He is one of the most amazing professors I've ever met!! His explanation was so clear I understood everything what he said. Although his exams are required a lot of reading, three of them are not extremely hard. I really enjoyed attending his class. If you want to find entertainment in studying, I highly recommend you taking his class!!

He is a great teacher, very funny and interesting but his exams are very hard. You must go to class and read the book in order to pass...but still, he's one of the best teachers I've had.

Very good, corny jokes aside he made it very easy to get a good mark. Just show up and do the readings. He also puts all the slides online, as well as the answers for quizes after you do them.

AMAZING teacher. Really cheesy jokes but they keep people awake for a three hr class... Very approachable and extremely interesting. Great anecdotes! Read the book, use the study guide because the exams aren't easy, at all! A quiz every Wednesday worth 2%. Don't miss classes, you WILL fall behind. Overall, great teacher! :)

Don't be fool by his long beard, he is not one of those "old school". Difficult mid-term, educative weekly quiz and easy final, could gain good grade if you do the reading. Very interesting lectures, helpful manner and resourceful.

Amazing teacher, funny, interesting and helpful. But as much as his classes are fun, and the materiel is not boring, if you don't study hard, really hard your gonna fail. Very hard exams.

Great class! Teacher is hilarious in his teaching method - never a dull moment. Immediate feedback (same day) on tests and exams and students may keep the questions for reference. But you MUST do the readings ;)

Amazing Teacher! If anyone has the chance I really recommend taking him. He enjoys what he teaches & is very enthusiastic! Tests are fair - although his short answers are impossible to get more than 90% on. All & all, a great teacher!

FANTASTIC PROFESSOR! He really knows his stuff and is all about sharing what he knows. Makes excellent references to the real world, and has tons of stories to share. He really dives into the material and knows it inside out. Has an awesome sense of humour and is also a photographer. He loves what he's doing, and it shows. He's also into animal ps
