Comment:
Do not come into this class thinking that it will be easy. Many people in this class are retaking it because they failed it the first time around, but Dr. Feminella is the best Ecology professor. He has extra credit opportunities and he knows what he is talking about. The labs are 10x harder than the class itself.

Comment:
Dr. Feminella is a very nice guy with a strangely difficult class. He grades harshly to the point it is sometimes ridiculous and the labs are an actual nightmare. It is an interesting subject and there are only 2 tests, but accept the fact that you 99% for sure will not receive an A. Also, he does not put grades in so keep on top of your work!!

He uses the textbook quizzes as grades and extra credit which really can help, he has clicker quizzes every day of class but they're not hard if you took notes. His tests are hard and his study guides are his entire notes from class, he grades tough but if you study you can do really well. Always look over your tests for places to get points back.

Comment:
He makes fill in the blank and short answer large portions on his tests, and is then super nitpicky about the answers. He also usually only said/wrote the answer once in class, and uses extremely similar phrasing for ideas. You will not get partial credit with him either. No books, all from his head. Better be a mind reader to get that A.

I had him for ecology. DO NOT under estimate this class, it will kick your butt. Pay attention in class bc he will say stuff and you won't realize it's important until it's too late. Lab sucks, the papers are pretty hard but don't feel too bad if the TAs rip you a new one on them. Clicker quizzes graded for correctness in lecture.

Comment:
Material is interesting and Dr. Feminella is a nice guy, but lecture could get really boring at times, and add to that it was a Tuesday-Thursday class at 8 A.M. with mandatory attendance, going to class really became a chore. Exams are really particular so make sure you know definitions exactly as he tells them to you. Half of the labs are a drag.

STAYING AWAKE AND LOOKING FORWARD TO LAB OR CLASS IS THE HARDEST THING. READ THE BOOK, YOU GET MORE CREDIT AND UNDERSTAND BETTER. I FELL ASLEEP IN CLASS BUT READ THE BOOK, STILL FAILED BUT HIGHER GRADE THAN MOST OF THE LISTENING CLASS.

Tests are very tricky. Lectures are boring, but that could just be the material. I got an A but alot of my friends got C's. My advice, take Folkerts.

Take VERY good notes, and read the book. Pay extra attention to topics that he bearly goes over, b/c it will be on the test. Test really try to confuse you, and our class avg. was a D.

Very good teacher. Tests can be a bit tricky, so be sure to read the questions carefully and study the material well. Don't buy the book (unless you want to waste your money) because everything is from the book or the lab manual. :)
