ENTOM/ENVIRST 205
Quality 4/5Difficulty 1/5
Very entertaining and engaging in lectures. Didn't go super in depth about material and referenced lots of news articles, but the class was very easy and almost solely relied on Canvas discussions.

ENTOM/ENVIRST 205
Quality 3/5Difficulty 2/5
Such a friendly guy and seems to really care deeply about Global Health and Entomology. Does seem to ramble during lectures, but is generally a funny silly guy that has a good time during class -- keeps students engaged.
