Reviews of professor Justin Ledogar

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
My first class on primates or anatomy and I learned alot. Definitely alot of material but he does review sessions before the exams (make sure you go to those) and will walk through whatever you need in office hours. I work as a personal trainer and I thinking learning more about primate muscles will help me in my career.

Dr. Ledogar is a nice man; I like his sense of humor. His lectures are difficult to follow. A lot of information is thrown at you quickly, with little warning in topic transitions. It's overwhelming. It's difficult to get straight answers from him, like when asking for study tips. Nice man. Can be vague. I recommend relying on slides.

There is a lot of material and you def need to study but it was a fun class and he was a good teacher.

Tough material but Justin is good at breaking down complex concepts so they are easier to understand. He holds review sessions and has really detailed powerpoints. Grade is based on tests. Overall good class.

I enjoyed this class. I plan to attend vet school next year, so it was really interesting learning about the anatomy of primates. The online labs were fun and consisted mainly of measuring different parts of anatomy using virtual models and then usually relating it to some aspect of primates lives.

I enjoyed this class and learned a ton about human evolution. There are a lot of readings though. I'd maybe hold off on this one if you already have a heavy courseload. Dr. Ledogar is fun and pretty accessible. Office hours are helpful if you have trouble with the readings.

He is a very tough grader and requires a lot of memorization on his exams. He was very plain and presented nothing special. He was also at some points rude and condescending towards his students. I thought that he was very arrogant and would not take him again for any course.

While some of his tests were doable, they required lots of memorization and specifics in a course with incredible amounts of information. He took off points for parts of questions which weren't asked. I would ask for regrades but he is stubborn and I am just glad to be done with his course.

As an evolutionary anthro major, I thought this class presented just the right amount of material, though some of the biochem students may have disagreed. Not sure about the sloppy lecture comment below. The slides were detailed & aesthetically pleasing. Justin was super helpful in office hours and always responded to emails promptly. Recommended!

Classes were long and material was often rushed through. There were also a lot of points where it was pretty obvious that he had only a surface level understanding of something and would contradict himself answering questions rather than just admit he didn't know.
