Comment:
I really liked this professor as a person. His lectures were boring 70% of the time, and I didn't like the 3 prelims or final. I didn't feel like it was super clear what we were supposed to be learning. My TA sucked. Overall the class was alright, maybe not for non-science majors.

Comment:
He dropped the lowest exam which was great; I skipped the final and went home for break early. If you study the lectures you will do well on the tests. The workload is predictable and manageable. I was afraid to take bio as a business major but ended up enjoying the class and getting an A, even though I skipped several lectures.

Fantastic professor who has an excellent grasp on the subject. Lectures filled with extremely interesting, cool examples, and although some concepts taught are complex, they are covered very lightly on exams.

You don't need the textbook. All you need to do is attend section and memorize lecture slides and you'll get a good grade on the pre-lims and final.

Comment:
Not impressed with teaching ability. Lectures are boring and disorganized. He does not treat students as though they are Ivy League intellectuals. Reads every word on every slide shown in lecture, rather than using slides as a reference or tool for discussion. We can read. We know what your slide says.

If you think ecology is hard or boring with Flecker, you should have seen the guys who taught it before him. Chabot put me to sleep every single time, and I used to really like ecology. Trust me, Flecker was the best option the ecology department had.
