Eric Moody
Eric Moody is awesome. I enjoy his approach to teaching; he is very easy-going but still gets the information across. The field labs are very chill and fun. His assignments are a bit open and kind of on-your-own, but manageable with prior knowledge in writing lab reports. I would highly recommend taking Aquatic Ecology with Moody for a chill senior year biology lab course.
I took this course because it was required for my major, though the topic itself wasn’t my favorite. Professor Moody is very enthusiastic and does a great job covering and explaining all the key points in his lectures. Each week included a group discussion session based on a problem set completed beforehand, which turned out to be an extremely useful resource when preparing for exams. Keeping up with the readings and focusing on understanding the key terms as you go along definitely makes life easier. That said, the class is very doable, and earning a good grade is realistic as long as you do the work.

Professor Moody was very enthusiastic about the content, and it was interesting learning about his research in macroinvertebrates. The content was not very challenging if you did the reading and tried to understand the lectures.
