She made ecology seem so dry to me, and that's saying something considering I am interested in conservation. She's not bad, in fact her lectures are well put together; she's just painfully boring. ",

Some of her exam questions are tricky, and others are just poorly written.  She was nice though, and had different office hours from week to week so that everyone could make it in.",

One word can flip the whole answer. So make sure you do the reading and know whats on her study guides to be fully prepared.",

Although I have not yet taken her exam, I do not anticipate that it will be very difficult. Good professor.",

The exam was pretty easy (83% average) I don't think going to lecture is necessary..but they may help you do well on the exam a little bit.. I also hoped she had more office hours - only had 3-4 during ecology session! Overall, she was a decent lecturer! Take her!!",
