Comment:
Prof Stephenson is an incredible teacher. It's rare to find teachers that are able to explain concepts so thoroughly. You leave the class knowing much more than what was strictly taught in class, because you can extend the concepts learned to other areas of biology. You need to be ready to work hard to do well in the class. It's not a bird course.

Comment:
Tests are bad. Even though you think you know the material and leave the test happy, the test results will just shock you. I recommend to not take the course unless it is really mandatory. He explains really well, and his knowledge about the material is so great but as said, tests will screw you. Recorder is a must in lectures.

Comment:
Great lecturer with fair tests. Explains things relatively clearly, although sometimes he says way too much stuff so recorder is a MUST. One drawback is the essay question on the exam seems to lower people's final marks in the end. Just make sure you nail the term-tests. Best 2 out of 3 tests too (which I find quite helpful).

Great lecturer. Tests are rather difficult. Need to take a lot of notes since lecture slides are almost all diagrams/graphs. Sometimes he speaks fast, especially when he tries to finish lecture for the upcoming test.

An excellent lecturer. Engaging, sometimes funny and great to listen to. Slides are mainly diagrams, so there is a LOT of note-taking to do. Very interesting material, but the tests are NO walk in the park. Overall a great learning experience.

Great prof! One of the best I've had. His tests may be challenging, but his lectures are very clear and interesting. He also adds funny little stories sometimes.

Good, interesting section. He says points which intuitively make sense (i.e. no need to memorize because "that's the way it is"). Effectively connects concepts. Doesn't rely on PowerPoint. Very approachable. Love the accent, too. :)
