    I don't think the textbook was all that helpful, but Prof. Pinter-Wollerman is a very nice person and likes to give a lot of examples. UNDERSTAND THE EXAMPLES. They often come back on the exams.

    Quarter Taken: Winter 2023 In-Person
    Grade: A+

    There is no homework other than a big group research project you work on during discussion section and present in week 9. The lectures were a little slow sometimes but overall easy to follow and well put together. Their material is interesting and a lot of review if you took EEB 100. The exams are straightforward and based on lecture material.
