Winter 2022 - Do not take this class. Manson is extremely unaccommodating and his lectures are impossible to follow. He was extremely rude to his students when they requested an only version of one of the midterms (due to concerns about the pandemic, immunocompromised students, international students living in their home countries, etc). It is pretty ironic that he spends so much time studying humans considering he does not care about his students. In terms of the class material, his lectures make no sense, are organized terribly, and are even worse in person. He obviously is educated on what he is teaching but it makes no sense to students without a deep background in evolution. Overall, I would never recommend this class to anyone, ever.

He was an awesome professor. It was a small class so he knew everyone pretty well. He is extremely approachable. The reading were dense, and he knew this, but he did his best in leading the discussions in the class as smoothly as possible. He likes when you participate and give your opinion, in no way does he make you feel bad for stating something that is irrelevant. He encourages student participation as much as possible. Pop-quizes throughout course, but definitely not difficult. One research paper that he allows you to choose your own topic, not difficult at all. Got an A in the class. I recommend taking him!
