The most boring class I have taken at Maryland. Stricklin is unorganized, and skipped our class 3 times but expected us to carry on and present and discuss without him. He didn't know a single student's name in our 18 person class. When he did show up he rambled and name dropped random animal ethology scientists, talking in extreme detail about things that were barely related to the class. There was no need to do any of the readings because there was no discussion, he just rambled for 75 minutes straight every class. The only reason I didn't drop this class is because there were only 3 assignments and he barely graded them so it was an easy A. |

The semester I took this class, we had a relatively large class and a co-lecturer- meaning, Stricklin wasn't in the classroom most days outside of the first week! He's quite prominent in his field so you can't blame him but often he was just in his office. The content is easy and just requires quite a bit of reading and attending lecture (graded!). The worst grade I got in this class was a B- for the group presentation but we wrote it before we even saw a rubric (needless to say you should always look for or ask for a rubric before completing an assignment). Countered by discussion grade and easy exam grades, don't sweat it. just go to class. |

Great class, very easy, with lots of discussion. Is a great idea if you are into philosophy, but as someone with not much experience in cognitive ethology, it was a good class, and was very informal. Very little work involved, beyond presenting an article, a debate, and a paper, all of which are graded pretty leniently. The professor was very knowledgeable, and Kim his TA was a dear as well. Great class that gets you thinking without being much work. |
