Erin Eggleston

I would recommend eco/evo for anyone interested in biology. It was a great blanket introduction into evolutionary theory as well as ecology. The labs were relatively involved but were also very engaging.

I loved Eggleston. I definitely struggled in this course purely because I wasn’t good at keeping up with my readings. As long as you read the course is fine. The exams were complicated and long but the content is to be expected and if you're caught up in the work it is no issue.

Erin Eggleston is my favorite professor in the Biology department. She has an extremely effective teaching method and a kind heart. She has a passion for the subject and is always patient and accommodating with her students. I took this course having only taken intro biology courses and orgo I. None of the material seemed out of reach or overwhelming because of Erin's teaching methods. There was at least one assignment due each week, and a lot of it was group-based. You must complete the assigned readings before each lecture, but I found the reading easy because the content was interesting. Most of the lab revolves around the final project at the end of the semester, which she assists you a lot with and grades easy. I would say this is my favorite class I have taken at Middlebury and highly recommend.
