Class itself wasn't that bad. The material was fairly easy and straightforward. Leryn would just read off of her slides, but you had to go to lecture because she took attendance every week pretty much. The exams were all multiple choice and the class was graded on a straight scale, but there weren't many people who got As. Lots of B+ and B grades when I took the class. Once again, the material isn't hard, but it's not necessarily easy to get an A either.
Animal Behavior Textbook (Tenth Edition) and Elements of Ecology (Ninth Edition) [for the second half of the course] for sale, both in excellent condition

I have the ecology book I'm selling it for real cheap like 30$. Text me if you want it **********
The materials covered in this class is not hard, but it is still not an easy-A class.
I recommend reading the textbook for the animal behavior portion of the class. It really clarified the ideas presented in lecture, so I felt like the final was pretty straightforward.
I definitely recommend taking Conservation Biology with Dr. Gorlitsky in the summer! She's a young professor so I'm not surprised there aren't any reviews on her yet, but she also teaches EEB 151A and EEB 100. I'll start off by saying she is an amazing professor! Her lecture slides give the perfect amount of detail; they basically summarize everything you need to know, and she will tell you ahead of time exactly what you will be tested on for the midterm and final. Her teaching method tends to be fast-paced, making her lectures more engaging. As long as you pay attention and study your notes, it is definitely possible to get an A or a B. Dr. Gorlitsky has a way of inspiring students to make a difference in the world, and you can tell she truly cares about the well-being of our environment. Overall, she's a chill, kind, and down-to-earth person who will hopefully leave a positive impact with you like she did with me :)
Dr. Gorlitsky is my favorite professor at UCLA. I've taken 3 different classes with her and I can see she genuinely cares about her students and gives many opportunities for extra credit and easy points (i.e., attendance points). The material is pretty straightforward but since there were two professors teaching this class when I took it, I did worse on their midterm than Dr. Gorlitsky's portion. Overall a really great class.
She taught animal behavior. The workload is doable but she speaks really fast during lectures. The topics are interesting. The exam is okay but they are a bit tricky so be careful.
Highly recommend taking 100L for bio degree requirements. The a big chunk of your course grade is based on an experiment you perform with your group. Things like the prospectus of the project, the presentation of the project, and the final scientific paper of the project. There were also busy work items due in between such as individual journals or worksheets that you do in class. Overall, this course definitely balances a heavy course load because there is nothing to study for but only consistent progress in your project. My TA, Mairin, in particular was awesome. She was very chill and conducted the lab in a very casual way but at the same time induced great discussion on general lab techniques in biology. I learned very important skills, had great group members, and conducted a very cool experiment that I wouldn't have been able to do. Take this lab and don't regret it!
