I love ecology, but this class made me feel so stupid. The exams are incredibly difficult, especially considering how easy the material is. Would walk out of an exam thinking I did great and knew everything, and then would end up flunking it. AVIOD, I’m sorry for those who have to take it like I did

Exam are hard, even if you know all the material. She does not have multiple multiple choice. She does have pop quizzes after videos.

Great lady, but overall the class was very difficult. Tests are not your normal 50 MP tests, theres matching, fill in the blank, multiple-multiple choice (she says its better than just plain old multiple choice but i don't agree), true false, and diagrams. I'd rather just have the multiple choice. Lab, Blogs, and if you study for the quizzes will usually boost your grade up. She doesnt curve anything until the end of the semester if she feels like the mean is too low. Final is Cumulative! If your really interested in the subject i would recommend her just because she is very enthusiastic about everything she teaches but for me i didnt like it too much.
