Reviews of professor Michael Runtz

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
This guy is such a great prof and he's so passionate about what he teaches which makes the lectures so good. He uses a bunch of photos in his lectures that he has taken himself which is really cool. Take good notes and study them well for tests and you'll do good. His lectures are always entertaining and he makes a lot of cheesy jokes.

If you have a love for the nature in Canada, take this course! Runtz is so passionate about the materials and pretty much all the photos in his slides were taken by him. The testing wasn't too difficult for me, it's just remembering the facts about plants and animals (was online so it was open book). Lots of fun and a great elective!

Take lots of notes. Notes, notes, and notes are the only way you will get through this class. A++++

pretty simple really,

not watching lectures on time/cram sessions = you won't get the grade you are aiming for.

The prof provided us TAs this term that would respond to emails in a timely manner and helped me properly understand any anything that i misunderstood along the way.

The quizzes are chatgptable and you can google some of them up.

i've never actually watched all of my lectures in a class before until prof runtz... he's hilarious and engaging in his lectures. his passion for the subject is apparent and gets you excited for the lecture. i learned a lot in this course! make sure to take good notes as the class is only test based.

I have taken both of Dr. Runtz courses for natural history and is easily one of my favourite professors. He is funny, explains things well, and the course is fun if you love nature. His courses made me contemplate getting a degree in natural history as I loved it so much. Lecture heavy and long, but they go by quick. No open book tests so study.
