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 mycologist

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.

Very passionate about the subject and making sure students understood the material!

Seems like a very caring person, when asked questions though was very curt and dismissive. Class was had interesting topics though.

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.

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.

Anne is one of the best professors I've had at Madison. She really listens and cares about your thoughts on the class and her teaching style. Our class ranged from Botany Grad students to non-science major Undergrads, and everyone still got a lot out of the course. I tell everyone I know to take this class

I always tell fellow science undergrads to take a class with Anne. Incredibly passionate and thoughtful teacher. Definitely would like to have her as a professor again.

Dr. Pringle taught the second semester of this course and she is a fantastic person and her lectures were well organized but her tests were absolutely ridiculous. She would ask a question about 1 sentence on one slide that would be completely irrelevant to the rest of the topic. She's a good person but terrible test maker.

Dr. Pringle taught the second half of the course, focusing on fungi, diversity of life, and plant life cycles and biomes. It was her first semester teaching any class. She can be quite out of touch with the students sometimes. The things she presents as interesting and hyped up just are not. She asks belittling questions that nobody responds to.
