Comment:

I disagree with the student saying never take Ecosystems. It's an easy A and he's a great guy, just very theoretical and not at all precise. Not a hard marker, gives exam questions prior to exam, does not require much studying.

Comment:

Never take ecosystems. He's a good teacher, but this is a horrible class. Many of us in the class think that this is the worst class we've ever taken.

Comment:

Okay so the class was boring (which in all fairness he does warn you of on the first day) but Dr. Cone is pretty cool. He tries to make things interesting and I actually didn't mind the class in the end.

Doctor Cone was very nice, and warned us the class would be incredibly boring but I found it quite interesting. He was willing to help you if you asked, and he told a bunch of really funny stories and jokes in class.

Cone is a below average prof who could take a few lessons on how to teach. Stay away from class and read the book, you probably get more from the course.
