Dr. Sork was a good teacher on the field trips we went on, and I like her overall ideas for the class and its goals. She does not have sufficient knowledge of plants to lead the field visits though, and I wish she was more proficient so we could actually learn plant identification. Additionally, the lectures were poorly planned, felt scattered, and not always relevant to field trips. The transect data collection was disorganized throughout the whole quarter. We should've gone over how to do transects in class before starting. We should've been given the Excel table to input our transects after the first field trip, so we had a template as we collected data over the rest of the quarter. It made the end of the quarter more difficult because we never knew what the final format of our data needed to be. She waited for Diego to figure things out for her instead of leading the class. The final exam about ecosystems is extremely long and tedious, at least we had it early in the quarter. The final data transect report should've been a group paper. If our data within our group was always the same, we should've been able to collaborate on the paper. I overall thought the idea of this class was amazing. It has the potential to teach practical field skills, allow students to gain a deeper understanding of plants and their ecosystems, and create an enjoyable field class. I think tweaks to instruction could make this the best class students take at UCLA.
