Reviews of professor Sean Schoville

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Sean Schoville, Russell Groves, and Ann Marsh are all AWESOME! I'm a business major, but I took this class freshman year to fill a science credit. You raise a caterpillar for the entire semester and document the process, pretty fun. If you are looking for a nice science class to knock off 3 credits, I absolutely recommend these three people. So fun

Great class! The main assignment is to raise an insect (daily observations and frequent research questions). The optional honors project is a 4-5 page paper. Also need to do 5 300-500 word essays. Prof. Schoville is very knowledgable, friendly, and caring. He seems to really enjoy interacting with students and teaching this course.

One lecture a week that acts as a discussion, with most content covered in online lecture videos. These are "mandatory," but are hardly necessary to do well in the course. Stay on top of due dates and you will be fine with an easy A or at worst an A/B and a fulfilled bio sci requirement.

He is a very nice guy but thats it. If you are an undergrad, steer AWAY from this course. The few students who got a B in his hard course are only undergrads. We were graded much lower than the average, not equitable. He does written answer, very subjective. He said himself he made the exam way to hard and will curve for undergrad but never did.

The class is pretty laid back, with a variety of different assignments. Keep up with the work and you will be fine. The lectures are generally interesting, and the instructors are very passionate and care about their students.

He's one of my favorite professors. The weekly quizzes based on lecture slides which he posts online are a pain as well as the 7 essays, but there are multiple opportunities to boost your grade. At random times, if you show up for class, he'll give you extra credit. I liked going to class.

I don't have much of an interest in Entomology, but Sean and co. still made this a great course to take. If you are able to breathe, you should be able to pass this class.

This class felt like a waste of time. Content from weekly section meetings and weekly lectures was never needed after the day of class/day of the quiz. Be prepared to raise a moth from egg to adult w daily observations; SUPER tedious and, frankly, it's not super fun to have bugs in your house. Not a hard class by any means, but not a great one.

Prof Schoville and the other profs gave very entertaining and interesting lectures. The Manduca log was a decent amount of work, but not too bad. My advice for the class is to write as many essays as you can so you can get the best grade possible.
