Ben was a great professor who was extremely engaging and helpful during lectures and discussion. In Ben's world, there is no such thing as a stupid question or bad idea. The class was well structured with clear guidelines, and I feel the final project (Climate analysis for a species) was very helpful in practicing ecological methods.Rate My Professors ↗
Ben is equally friendly and knowledgable. He structures his lectures to have frequent discussion opportunities, and never makes a student feel like they've asked a "stupid question". He's passionate about his work and brings in recent and relevant research to his lectures. He is understanding of absences and is always willing to talk!Rate My Professors ↗
Extremely helpful professor that I actually felt like I learned something from. There is a big final project at the end that was quite a bit of work, but as long as you put effort in, he seemed pretty generous with grades.Rate My Professors ↗
