Reviews of professor John Schacke

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Definitely a great professor, and a really interesting person. His ECOL 3220 Maymester is a super fun, and a great chance to make some connections if you're into want to get into marine mammal conservation. Also a great credit for BIOL majors, plus you get to go to Charleston and Savannah. Highly recommend this course.

Hands down the best professor I have taken at UGA. Professor Schacke made learning about marine mammals very interesting and fun. I recommend him to anyone interested in sciences. Also, if you take the class during May, there is a week-long trip to Charleston and Savannah.

I took his class during COVID in the summer so meetings were over zoom. VERY straightforward class. What was on the lectures was on the exams. Theres also a final project thats super easy: you can do anything you want as long as you can relate it to marine biology/mammals. Weekly posts to a blog were easy grades. Highly recommend!

Amazing professor who truly just wants you to learn more about marine mammals rather than focus on grades. only graded on a couple exams (quizzes), blogs (uploading links to new marine mammals articles), and easy project at the end of the semester. Exams are straight from the ppt and he tells you what's on the exam in class

Dr. Schacke is definitely one of the best professors I've had at UGA. The class is super interesting and easy. Attendance isn't necessary (elective class). Three quizzes for the whole semester. All answers are on the powerpoints he posts to ELC. He handled COVID19 great, but we weren't able to do the debates which seemed fun. Reasonable, nice guy!
