Comment:
You need to attend class to get lecture notes, but class is usually pretty interesting. She is a smart professor and the the class is pretty good. Exams are fair, just make sure you study. Lab is pretty fun but you have to do a project which can be a hassle many would rather not deal with. She offers grade raise exams if you do bad, which is nice.

Clear, engaging classes on fascinating subjects. She is available for help if you ask. Be prepared though that it is a difficult class, she's a picky grader, and she is intimidating. The type of teacher that will just stare at you without saying a word if you do poorly. But she is VERY knowledgeable- top in her field. No one better to learn from.

GREAT professor. She knows a ton about Animal Behavior, and it definitely shows. The class is fair -- if you come to class and do the review questions she assigns you will do well in the class. One of my favorite classes at UMASS>

Comment:
Initimidating woman, but I enjoyed the class. Lots of interesting material. Her tests are fair and based on her "review questions" and notes, so there is quite a bit of reading. Her class is worth taking if you're interested in animal behavior and don't want the dumbied Dr. Howe version.
