Spring 2020 - I loved this class so much! Took it during spring 2020/covid-19 quarter. This class seems to be really great for people with a preexisting interest in dinosaurs. Personally, I love Jurassic Park/World and this class satisfied all my dinosaur curiosities. Well administered, tests and quizzes are easy, labs are easy, no homework other than reading (which you don't really have to do imo). Lectures are engaging. I highly recommend this as a science GE. Learning about deep time/evolution really helped me understand humans' place in the universe.

The information in this class is interesting and it is definitely an easy GE, however I felt that the lectures were not as focused as they could have been. Instead of just covering the Jurassic period, Eagle quickly went through the entire history of life on Earth from the first life forms to just thousands of years ago. I really learned a lot, but it was hard to retain all of the information presented to us. Overall interesting subject and an easy lab component.

Took this class as my LS GE, and it wasn't hard at all. I went to lectures, some of which i fell asleep in, but they are funny lectures. Good to stay awake and watch. If you read the reader for this class and understand what you need to know, this class is cake. Definately recommended as a GE filler, it's fun and easy, what else could you want?
