VERY passionate about fungi, incredibly knowledgable, super caring and approachable. This class was one of the best I've ever taken so TAKE IT! Not easy though, a lot of work if you take the lab section. However, you'll learn a lot. It was really cool to learn about mycology through the perspective of such an established and influential mycologistRate My Professors ↗

This course was incredibly interesting, and you can tell that you are working with a professor who knows their stuff. The tests are fine if you pay attention.Rate My Professors ↗
Very passionate about the subject and making sure students understood the material!Rate My Professors ↗
Seems like a very caring person, when asked questions though was very curt and dismissive. Class was had interesting topics though.Rate My Professors ↗
I took Anne's course as my last couple of honors credits that were required. She is one of the best Professors I've had in my three years going to UW-Madison and genuinely cares that you learn the content and come away from the semester with a better understanding of the environment and yourself. I absolutely adore her.Rate My Professors ↗
Devoted to helping her students succeed. She would stay after lecture and help students identify and look at fungal structures during lab. Anne is always willing to stop in lecture and answer questions as long as needed, never worrying about falling behind on the material. It is clear that she wants her students to truly understand the information.Rate My Professors ↗
