Let me know how much you hoping to buy it for.

I had a split class. Half animal behavior (with Prof. Gorlitsky) and half ecology (with Prof. Allison Lipman)

Gorlitsky's test questions are long and require deciphering. The lectures are interesting. I went to her office hours which were very helpful especially before her exam.

The content was interesting but participation and attendance was required for every single discussion section. Exams were difficult and no answer keys were given out after receiving grades. I am selling my 80+ pages of typed-up notes for both the ecology and animal behavior sections, my email is L*************.

Chillest EEB class ever, would recommend. I don't think I ever spent more than 2-3 hours per week working outside of class and virtually everyone gets an A.

There is no exams or quizzes, all you do is a few small weekly assignments and design/perform an ecology experiment then write a paper on it. I would recommend you don't choose animals or bugs, since they are difficult to study. Considering choosing something like soil or plants to study if you want an easier time.

This is a good class if you want a chill quarter or you are already in 3 other classes and need a simple one to balance it out.

Stupidest class here a UCLA if your TA is Candace. I am sorry, she is a very nice person but she graded so incredibly harsh. All my friends were chilling with the other TAs and when I told them the grades I've been getting back from Candace they were all shocked. Example: one of the first assignments was to come up with some ideas that you may want to center your final project around. It was out of 40 points and keep in mind you can only lose about 15 points to get an A in this class. Tell me why she gave some of us 30/40... for coming up with IDEAS???? Excuse me???? IT'S A BRAINSTORM HOW ARE YOU GOING TO GIVE A C ON A BRAINSTORM?? And had the audacity to say it's because there weren't enough details and it wasn't thought out. YEAH BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN GIVEN THE DIRECTIONS WE ARE JUST COMING UP WITH IDEAS. Yeah avoid her as your TA like the plague. Other than that, you are good to go with any other TA.

Easily one of the best EEB classes I have taken at UCLA. Gorlitsky is a professor who is very charismatic, understanding, and entertaining. Her TAs during the quarter were incredibly patient, respectful, and accommodating. The outdated reviews below don't really give an accurate depiction of the class value. Tropical Ecology is an interesting course by itself, and Gorlitsky offers many extra credit opportunities to raise student grades. Overall, I would take this class again in a heartbeat. The structure, accommodation and TA input were beyond exceptional. 10/10 from me.

Dr. Gorlitsky was a very engaging and fun professor! Her lectures were filled with really interesting videos but she tends to go very fast. Lectures are not recorded and lecture attendance is measured by the pop quizzes they randomly give out that are graded based on participation. I came into the class without being as interested in animal behavior but ended up loving it even more! I feel that all the examples are very interesting. For the exam, do not memorize the examples shown in class. Study each of the theories and hypotheses and know how to apply them to various situations and animal behaviors. The animal behavior portion (first 5 weeks) was definitely a bit harder than ecology due to the sheer amount of concepts but the test was definitely a bit easier and was overall more interesting. I would definitely recommend Dr.Gorlitsky!

This class is super TA dependent and honestly those grade distributions do not seem correct considering how harshly/badly our TA grades. The work itself is not the best either.

The lectures were really fun and overall I really enjoyed the class, but the exams were a bit unfair in my opinion. A lot of questions seemed like trick questions, or the wording would just be very very weird. I was very confident before taking the final, but for so any questions it seemed like there was not a good solid answer. Not to mention that the "practice exam" was literally 9 super easy questions and nothing like the real thing.
Gorlitsky loved giving a lot of pop "quizzes" for attendance so participation really matters. Lectures aren't recorded but she never really said anything that wasn't on the slides. I really enjoyed her lectures and teaching style, my only complain for this class would be the exams and how long it took for our assignments to get graded.

Dr. Gorlitsky is probably the best teacher that I have had at UCLA. Super nice, engaging, knowledgeable, caring,.. the list goes on. If you are a biology major and genuinely care about ecology and have a general interest in conservation, you will love this class. The material is easy to understand; many biology majors already have had some exposure to the material. This class was like a culmination of all the conservation efforts that I have heard of in the past.
The tests are fairly easy as long as you put the work in; don't expect an easy A. Dr. G apparently only gives one A+ per class, but don't be discouraged! It's graded straight scale with no real curve, so everybody can do well. I definitely learned something useful for the future and hope to use what I learned to contribute to conservation.

If you need an EEB major class, I highly recommend this over any other! Best class and teacher from UCLA!
