Summary

1 / 6

Past student reviews · Kate McCulloh

The course demanded plenty of memorization for the botany portion, while lectures were noted to be dense in content.

What you’ll be able to do

  • Explain the key mechanisms underlying biological evolution and identify those that drive diverse adaptations and key transitions in the history of life on Earth.

  • Relate cellular, tissue, and organ structures and processes to their physiological functions in the plant life cycle to explain how plants acquire and use energy and material resources and respond to environmental stimuli.

  • Describe the structure and function of ecological systems at different spatial and temporal scales and how abiotic and biotic factors affect the distribution of species.

  • Assess how humans impact biological systems through habitat fragmentation and loss, climate change, overexploitation, invasive species, and pollution.

  • Apply vocabulary, concepts, and theories of plant physiology, evolution, and ecology to problems across the biological sciences.

  • Identify and investigate scientific problems by interpreting the results of prior research, developing hypotheses, designing and conducting experiments, analyzing data,and planning future experiments.

  • Demonstrate skills necessary for biological research, including effective teamwork, data collection methods, and scientific communication.

  • Integrate concepts and content from biology and other scientific disciplines to explore current global and societal issues.

Student experience

the class

Past student reviews · Kate McCulloh

Students described lectures as dense but clearly explained with frequent pauses for questions. The botany section required significant memorization of material.

Recent recorded grades — Spring 2025: 3.38 GPA, 57.9% A/AB (n=991 letter grades); Fall 2025: 3.36 GPA, 54.8% A/AB (n=606 letter grades); Spring 2026: 3.52 GPA, 66.1% A/AB (n=1152 letter grades).

difficulty & workload

Past student reviews · Kate McCulloh

The course demanded plenty of memorization for the botany portion, while lectures were noted to be dense in content.

Past student reviews · Kate McCulloh

Reviewers appreciated the instructor's clear, slow explanations and occasional jokes, which helped make the dense material accessible.

Approximate 80% prediction interval

About this estimate

The course’s semester-average GPA, not an individual student’s grade. The center uses 5 same-season terms, weighted toward recent results.

The range uses the finite-sample 80th-percentile rank of absolute errors from earlier same-season forecasts. Each forecast uses only records from earlier terms. At least four forecasts are required; bounds are rounded outward and limited to 0–4. This is an empirical estimate: changing instructors or grading policies can reduce its coverage.

About this comparison

1280 courses over the same term, each with at least 30 recorded letter grades. Cross-listed courses count once. GPA is not a measure of difficulty or teaching quality. The typical course is the median by recorded grade count; tied values are not counted as lower. Grade counts describe course scale, not unique students or typical section size.

Descriptions compare GPA with this group’s average: at least 0.20 higher or lower; otherwise close to average. Section size uses median recorded enrollment: small up to 30, mid-sized 31–99, large 100+. Lectures and discussion/lab sections are described separately.
