This class is thoroughly boring to an impressive degree, and serves as a semester-long hurdle to get into the actually interesting part of the FIRE program. For starters, this class is quite possibly one of the easiest As (and 3 credits by extension) you will ever get in your life, and that is nothing to scoff at. However, this single feature is the only positive thing I have to say about this class. From start to finish, not a single word said or a slide presented in this class is actually important; it's the class equivalent of your spam folder. The lectures involve presentations that basically amount to "this is our schedule for the rest of the semester, and here's some information about research that is puddle deep." There are readings, short discussions, and a group project you will do throughout the semester, and all of it in sum can be done within a single evening. Meeting in class on Wednesday amounts to twiddling your thumbs and hearing about future assignment information that is on ELMS anyway. There is no final and no actual test that you learned anything, which is fortunate because there wouldn't be a single thing to show. Professor Weiner tries her best to be extremely upbeat and show energy in teaching the material, but it's clear she knows this class is an easy A and doesn't try to hide it. I respect her as a professor, but the class is extremely difficult to salvage. This class is great for an easy A and 3 credits, but is a complete slog that wastes an hour of your life once per week. Take it, pass it, move on. |

Dr. Weiner is hands-down the best professor I’ve ever had. Over the course of a few semesters, I have learned research techniques that you would struggle to find in other labs, and these skills set me up for success in other courses, like microbio. She is so kind and caring, and understanding of extenuating circumstances. She treats you like a human and has a breadth of knowledge shes willing to teach you. Ill miss my time in her lab. |

Although I didn't enjoy the FIRE course, Professor Weiner helped me through the class and certainly contributed to my success. She wants her students to succeed and openly welcomes any connection or communication she can have with students. She also makes it known that she is a resource for things outside of class (ie. mental health) if students ever need anything. She gives detailed and specific feedback on work and is accommodating for many students. |

This class is soon to be extinct, but I really enjoyed it. Professor Weiner is great at teaching the subject and she tries really hard to get the students to connect with the material. Although, if you were not interested in animals at all it may have been hard to find the class interesting. Dr.Weiner is always trying to spark a conversation in class, so it is great if you are willing to discuss a lot of material. The best thing about her is she provides specific, distinct feedback on your assignments that really connected with me and helped me succeed in the class. |
