Professor Pask was an excellent professor who was very clear about his teaching style from the start. The class was well organized and there were unique projects throughout that kept me engaged, even though I hadn't take a science class at Middlebury before. He grades everything on completion and brought awesome sourdough biscuts. There was lots of in class groupwork but also 3 in-class TAs for all courses.

Classes with Greg are the best, and this class was no exception. His classes are ungraded, so entirely effort based. As long as you participate in discussion and come prepared with the (few) readings for each class, you'll have a great time. One of those classes where you get out what you put in.

A classic Biology course for a reason! Pask is endlessly entertaining and friendly and made me feel excited for the course material (plus brought in baked goods and tea all the time to lecture). All assignments have some sort of creative component which make them pretty fun to complete, grading is effort-based and very fair, and learning is clearly the goal for the course as opposed to memorization. There's a independent lab research project on insects and a big community-wide presentation at the end of the semester, and otherwise assignments are well-spaced and the primary text for the course is really REALLY interesting and fun to read. Highly recommend!
