The course is interesting and has a lot of material to cover. Lecture consists of chapter readings before class, small group work, small group presentation. Lab is the most time consuming. You must keep a well organized lab notebook that is graded throughout the semester. Labs often require you to return to lab 24 hours after to complete the homework. There is a mid-term exam and lab practical and final exam and practical. While the course is heavy, the assignments give you time to reflect and learn the material.

I took this class for major hoping it would be really fun, but I was a bit disappointed. I think it was the overall content of the course that was boring. Lots of reading, individual homework and group work. The exams were not too difficult but just a lot, however, the professor did grade fairly.
I found Eco Evo with Prof Eggleston to be a really fun course! As other reviews have said, there is one weekly homework assignment with usually 5-6 questions from the textbook. If you leave this assignment until the night before, it can certainly be a bit overwhelming but if you manage your time correctly, the homework is super doable. Tests can be graded somewhat harshly, but the participation and completion points from homework balance out the test grades pretty nicely. Lab is, in my opinion, the more time-intensive part in the class, but going to TA hours was very helpful for me and overall I was never overly worried about lab!
