Reviews of professor Laura Prugh

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Unclear feedback and disconnected test questions affected my grades despite dedicated studying. Subjective grading on assignments, especially the final paper, was disappointing. Lecture reliance on slides limited engagement and hindered understanding, impacting my overall learning satisfaction.

SO MUCH FUN! An interesting, engaging class about wildlife that was a great break from my other more difficult classes. Had 2 non cumulative midterms and a paper, it's pretty easy to cram and do good on midterms since they were multiple choice. Loved her case studies and guest lecturers (especially the shark one)! Just go to class and ur good :)

ESRM 150 is a great class. Consistently interesting and engaging lectures. I was usually always excited to attend lecture. Dr. Prugh is obviously super passionate, and incredibly approachable and responsive. Course-load is manageable, content is easy, and never stressful. Tests do require some real studying. Quiz sections were useless however.

Class was good overall just lecture heavy. Quiz sections are required and big part of grade for online. One final paper which wasnt too hard. Daily quizzes after lectures worth around 3 points each. Lectures/Quizzes need to be watched/completed within 24 hours of scheduled class time. Good course, lot of good information, easy to get 3.5+

Laura is amazing! She is amazing at what she does and makes lectures very interesting. Attendance is important, because she has mini quizzes at the end of each lecture, but if you pay attention they aren't difficult at all. Definitely one of my favorite classes taken at UW. Almost made me want to switch majors.

Pretty easy class especially if you're not a science-oriented person. You need to attend the lectures or else you will miss important info. Not a lot of homework or work outside of class other than the end of the quarter group project which was pretty useless. I'd recommend this class for a GPA boost.

While I thoroughly enjoyed the class at the beginning of the quarter, she showed me her true colors after our final paper. I was threatened with a 0 because quoting from a source while also citing it is considered "plagiarism" to her. Her comments left on my essay were unnecessarily hostile and disrespectful, especially toward a student.

Loved Laura's class! She is super sweet and a fun lecturer. Tests were challenging but not impossible, and she gives chances for extra credit. You can tell she really cares about her field and has a lot of experience that is cool to hear about.

Prugh is a solid option to get some NW credits. Assignments/quizzes/tests all aren't too hard, basically just busy work and easy as long as you keep up with the work. Tests are multiple choice, late assignments are accepted with points taken off. I skipped a lot of class and still passed.
