Fall 2023 - Professor Schlinger taught the more traditional biology elements for the cluster, so his slides were the easiest to understand imo. It was a lot of basics in difference in anatomy, hormones, and development, with a lot of emphasis on humans and then some atypical presentation in animals. He was very clear in lectures and in his wording of quiz questions. He also bird watches, so if you're into that maybe you can strike up a conversation with him about it. Class: You take three quizzes that cover material from each professor that taught within those three weeks (ex. quiz 1 = weeks 1-3) that are 16 questions. The best 2/3 scores are used for your final grade. The rest of your grade comes from participation during your discussion section (nothing crazy happens here, we almost always left early and was pretty chill) and two papers you write. The topics are related to what you learned in class and usually you have to relate that to other species, humans, and your personal life and these are graded by your TA out of 100, so it depends on how tough your TA is with grading. There's also a roundtable discussion that happen before you take the quiz where you basically ask questions about a topic (ex. is chivalry dead) to the panel of profs, but you don't have to participate, just listen to others if you want.

His material was interesting, and he's a good lecturer. That being said, I thought his exam was too focused; the majority of the points coming from only two questions is fairly ridiculous (and I'm not simply being bitter, I actually did pretty well). And he didn't seem to care about students. At all.

I like the way he lectures although he does mumble alot . I studied really hard for his test because I heard how he is nit picky. He asks some really vague questions which could have been answered multiple ways but just try to write everything you know. And some that focused on info we barely went over in class, but its a physci class sooo its gonna be hard

Everyone "likes" his lectures, but if you take a minute to think about it, its terribly inefficient. Moves at a snail pace because he has to write everything down and draw all the pictures. What could be covered in 30 min is covered in 1 hour. discussions are mandatory and smell like turd. his midterm suck the round things between my legs (i'm a guy). his entire exam is free response, and because they are standardized tests for 150 some students, they TAs look for key words and give points accordingly. spend hours memorizing details and forget about concepts to ace his tests.
