Comment:
Professor Zook is one of the best professors that I have had at Boston University. He wants you to not only absorb the material but also to think about the material. His course requires work but if you put in the time you will learn a great deal. Being in his class was a terrific experience. He is an inspiring teacher.

Comment:
This dude is the man. Brilliant, digestible, engaging lectures. If you pay attention and have a genuine interest in ecology/biology you will consider this one of the best/ most valuable classes you ever took. It can be challenging and requires a bit of reading and prior knowledge to fully appreciate. I wouldn't recommend this to the non-scientist.

Comment:
completely agree with the person below me. the discussion is consecutive with the lecture and you have to listen to him for 2 and a half hours! i couldn't stay awake and i had to drop the class or else i would have failed it. THIS IS NOT AN EASY SCIENCE CLASS TO FILL YOUR REQUIREMENT

Comment:
If you're in COM and thinking about taking this class for an easy science/math requirement, think again. This class requires a lot of reading and note-taking and 2 1/2 lectures in Tuesdays KILL, especially if you're not a bio-major. Take Nutrition like everyone else.

Comment:
not a fun class. understand before you take this course that zook teaches the discussion too, and it is consecutive with the tuesday lecture. the thing is, there is no discussion. he just makes it a 2 and a half hour lecture. His tests are hard and the class moves too fast. be prepared to take endless notes. this is not an easy science for req.

Comment:
A hillarious professor. I am constantly laughing in class. He really knows his stuff regarding symbiosis and mycorrhizae. He won't shut up about them - but it is really interesting. He doesn't lecture much. Most of class is group projects.

Prof Zook is one of the most engaging professors here! He makes mycorrhizae interesting! The course moves quickly, but powerpoint slides help! Moderately difficult exams, but a fair grader. He's awesome!

lectures in this class can get very tedious, because zook goes into great detail about funghi and corral. he's helpful though, and is understanding that most people in the class aren't science majors.

Comment:
He's a nice guy and all, but he's not right for this class. The class is basically AP Environmental Studies, but Zook shifts it toward the two things he actually knows really well: mycorrhizae and archeans. Spouts false hippie rhetoric,yet is nice

Interesting, to put it best. Gets the job done and prepares you for teaching. Classes are not always captivating.
