The exams are all take-home but the readings are very important for them. The questions are impossible to answer without doing all the readings and understanding the material. Class was self graded, but you set your own goals you have to meet to do well. I learned a great deal in lecture, and got to try out independent research in the lab component. Great class.

Professor Eggleston is an enthusiastic and highly knowledgeable instructor whose passion for biology makes the course engaging and enjoyable. The class offers a thorough introduction to key biological concepts and covers a wide range of foundational topics. While the lectures are clear and informative, students should be aware that the exams are notably challenging; even with a solid understanding of the material, the testing format can make it difficult to perform well. The assessments often emphasize critical thinking and application over simple recall, which can catch some students off guard. Overall, it’s a valuable and well-structured course, especially for those willing to put in the effort, but success on exams may require more than just knowing the content.

I love Erin, she is a great professor with a lot of enthusiasm for everything she teaches. This class provided a deeper look into the microbial side of life and I found it very interesting. You will be reading many scientific papers, you will be conducting your own research on microbial data Erin has collected. Her, ungrading approach was very nice as I felt as if I could focus on learning rather than trying for a good grade.
