Erin Eggleston

I really enjoyed this class with professor Eggleston! She is super knowledgable and would incorporate lots of images and examples onto her slides and into her lectures which made them more interesting and also made the material easier to remember. We were allowed one page of notes for the exams which was helpful to keep track of definitions and graphs to remember to include in short answers on the exams. The exams weren't hard they just required some thought and insightful answers that incorporated lecture concepts to the question/example given. I also find the content from this class super helpful in upper level biology courses! The labs for this class are also a lot of fun.

The course is largely self-taught, with small groups being formed that each research one extreme environment and its co-occurring extremophiles. Those groups then present once every other week, with Erin being available to fill in any gaps that might be difficult to explain. With it being a seminar, the workload is definitely manageable if you allot time to do the homework throughout the week.

I think this is a class that all biology majors should take! This course was so interesting to me and really changed my perspective on microbes and how they interact with our bodies and environments. I felt that Eggleston had passion for the course material, but she was not the most effective lecturer in my opinion. The workload was intense at times, but the concepts were rewarding to learn. Two oral exams and a semester-long research paper.
