Pros: Great prof, took Biol 357, a seminar in biogeography, and traveled to Costa Rica for study abroad over the summer. He's very passionate about organismal biology, systematics, and ecology. I'd take another class with him if I could.
Cons: There are a couple of tricky question on his tests, but everything is doable.

Pros: Professor Baumgardner's Ecology class is great. While I didn't really listen all that much (and neither did most people I think) I still managed to make an A. He values attendance and will decide on curves at the end of the semester based on it. I made an 86 but it was bumped up to an A.
Cons: He teaches using a PowerPoint which is fine except that he uses it only to summarize the book. On the test there will be examples that will expect a more detailed understanding than the PowerPoints explain. The book is EXTREMELY helpful when studying for tests as he pulls major phrases straight out of the book.

Everything on the exams comes from the powerpoint, but powerpoint is highly bulleted so the book helps clarify what he was trying to outline. 3 exams and 1 dropped, then a cumulative final. Class attendance needed because of some blank powerpoint slides you need to fill in during lecture.
