Comment:

Dr. Hamilton was an amazing teacher, her lectures are laid back ,but a little dry sometimes, she usually spices it up with a short video every now and then. The class was very easy, go to lecture and you'll pass. There are lab practical's that are a little tricky, but exams are relatively easy.

Dr. Hamilton is a great professor! Animal Biology is a lot of information, but Dr. Hamilton explains everything well. I wish there were more classes she taught! Take her!!!

Posts lecture power points online but doesn't put what she says in class about each slide and that's what she tests on so bring the slides and take good notes. Textbook is free and online and the assignments are easy. Lab is very fun.

Great professor who goes in-depth with animal biology. Her lectures are good and she shows pictures and videos that correlate with what she is teaching. If you study and learn the different phyla, classes, and orders and pay attention in class, you will do well on the tests.

Dr. Hamilton was awesome. Her lectures are interesting and she really knows her stuff. Attendance is not mandatory, but she gives a ton of important information in her lectures that you'll be asked about on the exams, so go to class. Not an easy A by any means, but definitely achievable if you put the effort in.

Comment:

Dr. Hamilton is probably one of my favorite professors yet at OSU. Go to class, pay attention, and take good notes. Fill out the study guides she provides and go to office hours if you need help. Don't study the night before, as this class has a lot of material to learn. Practicals are difficult, but not a huge part of your grade.

Comment:

The lectures were a little tedious sometimes, and the notes were a little disorganized, but other than that, she was a great professor. As long as you went to lecture and went over the lecture notes (not just the powerpoints) it was easy to pass the exams. The exam questions are very direct and involve little to no critical thinking.

Comment:

This class was not a hard one at all. There was weekly quizzes online (you could use your notes or the internet) and other than that, your grade was based off labs, lab exams, and tests. You definitely have to study your butt off for the practicals and tests, but if you do its pretty much an easy A from there. Meredith is AWESOME as well.

Dr. Hamilton is an excellent Animal Bio professor. She keeps students engaged through the lecture with videos about the topic. Some of the things on the test are things that she says in class and are not on the powerpoint slides.

Dr Hamilton is a great professor for Animal Biology. Grades well and exams arent that rough if you study a few hours. labs are a little long but not hard, I have my lab book from Fall17 semester and am looking to sell it, has answers in the back of it and a lot of the labs I did. text 8066624171 for the book.

Comment:

The first test is very easy so do really well on that one but after that they get significantly harder. Study specifics, the tests get incredibly hard to make an A on. Do not blow off lab practicals. There is a lot of info, spend time doing the study guides and know them well. Lab is fun. I didn't go to class or use the book but I studied a lot.

She's super sweet and very helpful. The class wasn't too hard but when studying for the tests don't just study the reviews. I used the textbook but not much. Doesn't take attendance but go to class most of the time because you don't know what is going to be on the test. Overall, a nice lady and would take this class again.

Class is very interesting and she is my favorite teacher so far. The class itself she makes easy as long as you pay attention and ask questions if you have any. She is very nice there were many times she would let out early jus because it was a nice day or there was break the rain. 10/10

Her presentations were not very helpful, but the class wasn't too difficult if you show up and pay attention and take notes. Not an easy A, but definitely attainable if you work at it. Having the textbook will really help supplement the PPs. Older edition works well (and is a lot cheaper).

Dr. Hamilton is a great professor! I personally enjoyed her lectures and her labs were so much fun. I had a great group, and the TA, Jared Goos, was amazing. The test were hard, but that isn't her fault. I loved this class so much more than I thought I would. She is very friendly and helpful.

super boring lectures and she is pretty scatter brained. only enjoyable part is when she shows fun videos. the lecture exams aren't too bad but you have to study for the lab practicals but they are barely weighted.. i got bored in the class but made an A without much trouble

Professor Hamilton is nice but her tests are extremely hard. Every detail in the book is needed. Study guides are a bit too broad. Her lectures do help but does not specify material that's on the tests. Again way Too much material on tests.

Very smart lady. Lots of material covered but study guides are given. Come to class and take notes! She shows cool videos in class too. Don't take lab practicals lightly.
