Reviews of professor Lindsey Swierk

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
One of my favorite classes here at Bing!! Swierk is incredibly nice and is always willing to answer any ?s you might have. The tests were fair & the lecture content was really interesting. Not a huge fan of the lab (or the grad TA) but she's stuck with the lab design from the previous professor who taught behavior so she's not to blame.

This is my favorite class at Binghamton! If I had to retake this class I would retake this class. She makes ecology entertaining.

While professor Swierk cares about her students and wants them to succeed, it's hard to succeed in a class where all you do is listen to her talk on and on about the most boring topics of your life. Her test questions are tricky and her quizzes, while easy, are not representative of exam material. No exams drop, so good luck. Offers extra credit.

I highly recommend Swierk for Ecology as she is very straightforward and has tests that are easy to understand and are exactly the content taught. There are a few things graded, however (3 exams, lecture quizzes, and a presentation). The presentation is very chill and graded by the discussion TAs who are very understanding. Read the textbook!!

Dr. Swierk is an amazing teacher who is clearly passionate and knows what she is talking about. If you can take ecology with her I highly recommend it! I did not get the textbook. There are 4 exams (one is dropped), 5 pop quizzes throughout the semester, and one presentation grade in the discussion section.

Dr. Swierk is one of the kindest professors in Binghamton! She really cares for her students and will take the time to help you if you are struggling with certain concepts. Majority of your grade is the group research project which takes the entire semester. The only thing that brought my grade down was the two lecture exams which were very tough

Love Dr. Swierk! She's a great lecturer and she is amazing at answering any sort of questions you have. Class is easy if you pay attention and read the textbook alongside it, and if you do that you should do fine on the tests. She also gives us this excel spreadsheet so you can calculate your grade yourself!

The class was pretty easy. The tests were straightforward. The other section had different exams and was way harder,
