I second what the other person said. Very disorganized, unnecessarily convoluted way of submitting assignments (always emailing him through elms) and no rubrics... he just copied every assignment from the previous 403 professor and didnt even take his name out of the slides, etc. but then just spends most of class sharing personal stories ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, its easy to get an A because he basically doesnt take points off unless you turned in the assignment very late. but you probably wont learn a lot about invasion ecology if thats what you wanted. but very very disorganized and he seems somewhat inept with technology/using elms, which gets genuinely frustrating |

I think I enjoyed this course overall, but it was definitely not very structured. We usually would just have discussions about a paper, but then get off topic and kind of just talk. There weren't many assignments, but the ones we did have were informative and actually kind of enjoyable. Some days, I would leave class kind of just confused and feeling like I didn't learn anything, but other days we would actually have pretty cool conversations. Dr. May is super cool and interesting. He has a lot of personal experience with a large range of environmental topics, so it was beneficial to hear first hand from someone in the field. He was very understanding with deadlines and it was clear he just wanted us to do our best and not get stressed out. Overall a very low stress environment and he was good at making everyone feel welcome and heard in class. |

Dr. May is a friendly guy and lenient grader. He is also very lenient when it comes to due dates and asking for extensions. He is a very "chill" professor, but takes it to the extreme. He is just way too disorganized and it really puts a burden on his students. He consistently shows up 5-10 minutes late to his own lecture. He does not post assignments, and expects you to email everything to him through elms. We are nearing finals week and he has yet to grade a single assignment. As well, for a lot of the big projects/assignments he does not provide a rubric to students. He is also doesn't teach at all. Most of his lecture is him scrolling through slides while rambling on about a personal story completely unrelated. Our final is coming up soon and he has not posted a study guide or an outline for what will be on the exam at all. |
