Comment:

I love Dr. Lackey. When I first began zoo, I thought I was going to die...but I worked and worked and worked, and I truly believe he recognized my efforts, and through hard study and thorough use of the textbook, I wound up doing quite well :-). He is a very fair grader, so don't hesitate to ask him to look over a test!

He is the best professor, and vert zoo is the best class I have ever taken! He explains everything and anything very well. He also has a great sense of humor and ya...I think he's quite handsome. But more importantly, he's always willing to help.

Very tough course and tough teacher. Has a nice curve though. Has chicken scratch for writing but in the end it isn't bad at all.

Dr. Lackey is a great person and he is INCREDIBLY patient and has a cool sense of humor and personality. BUT, his class is hard, so really read your book and stay up to date on the syllabus and assignments. He will work with you with anything! nice guy!

EXTREMELY hard teacher! Tests are excessive. The amount of material required to be memorized is obsene. Wasn't organized or helpful. Sent me to another teacher in the department for equipment for HIS assignment, which she did not end up having. Avoid!

Extremely kind and helpful, really knows his stuff,but not afraid to say when he doesn't, and welcomes new information. Take the field course, I learned more there than in most of my lectures combined.

His class is very hard, make sure you're on top of the work from the beginning. I'm planning on crying in his office some time this week.
