Fall 2021 - I am writing this review of Gregory Grether's portion of the class, after taking the final. The class average was 78 (like 10 points lower than the midterm with Lipman). Test questions were definitely ambiguous in this section (animal behavior), as there is more memorization of concepts and hypotheticals. I got an A on the final, but that's only because I studied my ass off and looked over the lectures at least a dozen times right before and during my time taking the test (the exam was open-note and open-book). Since this class was on a straight scale, a lot of people didn't feel like it was achievable to get an A in this class. I feel like most of my classmates were B+/A- range. I personally feel like I underestimated this class and the rigor that it actually has, because the ecology section was fairly easy. If you take this class with him, my advice would be to ask questions like "what do you mean by that?" or "What are examples of this?" when he gives hypotheses or theories, because holy shit, that would have helped a TON if someone asked that in class/if he touched on it. There were a lot of things on the exam that fried my brain to a crisp, because I feel like we didn't touch on certain concepts as much as we could have, so I wound up throwing shit on the wall and seeing what stuck. The test was only 30 questions too, so if you missed one question you'll drop about half a letter grade. Also... DO THE FUCKING EXTRA CREDIT!!! That shit saved me from an A-. The class was 430 points total, as follows: Ecology Exam (Midterm): 100 points Behavior Exam (Final): 100 points Discussion: 150 points Quizzes: 80 points Total: 430 points Extra Credit: 10 points Good luck Bruins and don't take this class thinking it'll be an easy A.... it whooped my ass

Fall 2023 - Janine was a great TA. The class scared me a lot at first because I was one of the many many many folk to absolutely hate EE BIOL 100. This class was the opposite. No poorly worded multiple choice exams… just projects and writing. I recommend going to your TA and asking lots of questions and getting help because they can basically guide you to an A in the class. Make sure you have a good group. TAs will always knock off stupid points on the small assignments but that honestly doesn’t end up making a difference because the final project is worth a lot of points and they usually grade that fairly! This class was actually a lot of work but just don’t get lazy with anything and you’ll do fine
