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.

Eco-evo is a major requirment for me, which is why I took it, but it was incredibly slow-paced. The material is not difficult to understand, but you must be able to remember 99% of the material by heart to do well on the exams. They are relatively easy and open-book, but the prompts are vague and are expected to be answered in a "blurt everything you can" fashion, with points deducted when you miss any of the key words they are looking for. Even if your answer is 100% correct, they will still deduct points for not including all of the keywords. Homework and reading is also simple and will not be too much to worry about. Professor Moody is kind and really passionate about his work so it is an interesting class nonetheless.
