Comment:

Very enthusiastic about ecology. The class drags on sometimes because we fill in his powerpoint slides, but the tests are actually quite difficult. Lots of memorization and related material. He's hard of hearing but does his best. He's been rumored to retire since forever, but he's still here.If you are interested in ecologyor conservation,takehim

Comment:

Very nice teacher, always doing what he can to provide extra credit or whatever help students need. class is SO boring, reads off his slides, but tests are identical to slides so super easy if u actually try. easiest class ever. most BASIC class ever, any1 who can't get a B or A is just retarded.

He's somewhat hard to understand because he's hard of hearing, but he makes the topics interesting. He shows videos and other supplementary tools, and I enjoyed the class.

Comment:

He is hard of hearing and older; communication with him is difficult. Seems like a nice guy OUTSIDE OF CLASS otherwise he can be unfair in his expectations. His notes were not so great; and he seems disorganized. Overall I hated this class, he made it very very difficult. The exams are HARD. I am an A student; and i got an A but it took all of

Comment:

He's a really nice guy. However, he goes through material very quickly, but since its all posted online, it really isn't a problem. Papers are ok, but his test are very chellenging because you really don't know what he wants and he asks obscure questions on little known facts that you don't think are important while studying. Pay attention!

He just doesn't get it. He teaches to the grad students in his classes. My suggestion is to work in his lab before you have him for a class

Comment:

He's a good teacher, but his classes are very hard. His tests are the most challenging I've taken, since you aren't sure what he wants.
