• one of my favourite courses to date. content is interesting and relevant and assessments are very fair. all the assessments are done online but attendance to lectures are mandatory bc the prof expands a lot on the slides and emphasizes what will be on the midterms (specifically calculation questions). 3 x 13.3% midterms (they are online, open book, non-cumulative and during class time but u can write it anywhere, my tip is to write all notes on a doc, format is about half mcq and half short answers/calculations, last one is run at the beginning of the exam season), 8 x 3.75% quizzes (drop lowest one, weekly except weeks where there is midterm, online and unlimited time and all answers could…

• Taken Fall 2023. Weekly Online open book quizzes 30% (best 8/9), 10% graphing assignments (2x5%), group brochure assignments 20%, and 40% non-cumulative quizzes (3x13.33%). The quizzes are fair and easy to do well on. The graphing assignment is easy marks. The brochure assignment is not as easy as expected, but it is possible to get 80+. The quizzes are approximately 50% MC and 50% short answer. This course involves reading so many graphs. Finished with a high 80 but 80+ is very possible. Great course to take if you are looking for an easy 3rd year BIOL course.

• This class is interesting and gives you a good background for different physiological processes in many different animals. In Fall 2021 it was formatted with 6 quizzes, 4 mini-midterms, a group project, and 2 small graphing assignments. It was overall easy to understand the information, and you can do well if you take good notes and review before each assessment.

• I thought this course was going to be about different animals and how their body systems/processes differ but other than respiration, it was mostly chemistry such as partial pressures and such. I found it dry and very fish focused. If you enjoy studying fish then you will probably enjoy this course. There were 2 easy graphing assignments and 1 brochure group project. The exams were fill in the blank (no word bank) and 4-6 short answers; they were very applicational. You need to study a lot for the exams in order to do decently and definitely take a LOT of notes. Dr. Craig however is a very nice and funny professor.

• Loved this course. Dr. Craig is one of the best profs I've had at UW. Would definitely recommend it. Very interesting, his tests are fair as long as you go to class and take some notes.
