Reviews of professor Alonso Ramirez

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
SOOOO much reading. In order to do well, you need to do the reading, learn the vocab, and memorize the quizlets. Easy tests but a lot of reading. Also, the labs are sort of over the top. Chem labs wishes they were as extra as this. However, the lab is 33% of your final grade so its not too bad. This class is also APPLIED ecology so labs are needed.

Dr. Ramirez is very knowledgeable and approachable. The class isn't very difficult but reading the textbook is essential, as everything is based from it. The lab is fun and the tests aren't worth much, plus they're take home/open note. His lectures aren't super detailed and be prepared to hear about his research in Puerto Rico. Enjoyable class.

Dr. Ramirez is a great professor. His slides may only have 2 sentences, but he elaborates on them in lecture so it is important to pay attention to what he is saying. The structure of the course is very organized and the lectures line up with the textbook readings. The tests aren't too bad, and it's important to study vocabulary.

He was really clear that tests are only based on the textbook, which made lectures feel pointless and the class fairly boring. He's really knowledgeable on research, but otherwise did not act like he wanted to be in class. Lectures are recorded and attendance is not mandatory.

Great lectures! Attendance isn't required but I would recommend attending because it makes quizzes and tests a lot easier. The lab is very engaging. Homework assignments aren't difficult if you begin in advance. I really enjoyed this class and learned a lot, would recommend to those who enjoy environmental sciences!
