Clinton Cave

Professor Cave is the best professor at Middlebury. His lectures are extremely interesting, and he is always willing to answer students questions. He does an amazing job of fostering an environment for curiosity and learning without excessive stress.

I loved this course with Dr. Cave. This was my third class with him and I just think he is one of the best professors I have ever had. Lectures are a large part of his class, and he is a very clear and engaging lecturer and always takes questions and wants us to love the material as much as he does. This was BY FAR the most interesting class I have ever taken at Midd- I found the topics to be so fascinating and I wanted to keep knowing more about them. While his exams are difficult, they are reasonable and you can do well if you pay attention in class and go talk to him about the stuff you don't understand. There are weekly homework questions to aid the lectures. The labs with this class are also so fun, you get to do a lot of experiments involving mice and rats and using things we learn in lecture towards the experiments. I have so many positive things to say about this class and while it has to do with the material, it mainly has to do with Dr. Cave and his awesome teaching.

Very nice professor, accommodating, interested in his students and just a wonderful human. He always stops to answer questions and make sure everyone understands the material. He also is really helpful with things outside of the course and provides helpful feedback on assignments. Group presentations, weekly problem set, 3 exams!
