  • Didn't learn much during the lectures. You'll be good as long as you read the books. Overall, it's a good bird course!

  • Worst class ever. Seems interesting from the course description, but is actually a flop. Anne-Marie is so boring and sucks the life out of the class. I literally only went to class because she takes attendance. Do not take this course if you don't like to write papers. We wrote three papers and had a final exam that only consists of 10 short answers and 1 essay question. Did not learn one useful thing from this class.
