Comment:
The class before each test, he gives you all the questions that will be on it and most of the answers, so as long as you write down what he says and attend all the field trips and 90% of classes, you'll get an easy A. No homework. Class is boring, but as long as you go to the review, you don't need to pay attention. Very knowledgeable and funny guy

Professor is hands down the best professor EVER. He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. Field trips are so much fun and you become friends with your classmates. Don't miss the field trip and always stay for the exam review. Best class ever.

One of the most knowledgable teachers I have ver had. He knows almost every plant out there. A great guy. Field trips are actually quite fun. Field trips can be as far as Coachella valley, so make sure you are able to get there. It is a lecture heavy class but with all the field trips it feels as if we are never in class. If you like nature take it

Best Science professor I've EVER had! Would definitely take again! Lectures are long and boring. No homework. 3 tests and 1 project. 2 extra credit opportunities. Field trips are fun! Participation determines your grade. You could fail all the tests and still end up with an A or B. Don't slack and pay attention!! EASY CLASS

Zembal is awesome and so funny! As long as you show that you are interested in the environment and go on all the field trips, you will be fine. The exam reviews, usually after field trips, are a must, and he pretty much gives you the answers for the test. I surprisingly learned a lot about a subject I don't particularly enjoy.

Great teacher and you can easily sense his passion toward nature in every class (especially on the field trips). The saturday field trips do feel reallllly long but in my opinion it was better than the other 'science with a lab' courses.

Loved this class! Zembal ROCKS! very laid back & even funny! field trips kind of dragged because a few were on saturdays, and kind of far, but cool places to check out. His reviews before a test are a MUST (very very informative) Plant project seemed tough but super easy if you dont do it last min. Bird id's difficult but he gives tons Ex Crdt.TAKE

Easy Class. A lot of fun. Don't buy the book, just the 2 field guides on plants and birds. Go to the field trips and don't miss the review session's before each test, you will know EXACTLY what to study for each exam, Plant and bird identification is a little tough. Dont put off the plant collection assignment and it will be an easy A.

Comment:
This Natural History of California class can be compared to the epic Lord of the Rings and Star Trek. The teaching style and experience this class provides is essential for everyday life. The field trips are awesome, very meaningful as this professor knows a lot about the enviornment and after the day ends it leaves you wanting more!
