There's entirely way too many slides. Why is behavioural ecology I only 10 slides, while community is 73? Biomes was 85 slides and the midterm only had like 2 questions on it.

Uneven distribution is hilarious, but whatever.

Does anyone know if the Turtles guest lecture is also testable? Robert's lecture?

It's mind numbing to study this.

If I remember correctly, there were a few questions on the guest lectures on last year's exam. So try to go over those, or the main points at least.

Just curious.

I think Marvin does it every year, that, and someone mentioned it in one of the posts above

Do we have to know each and every example from the textbook? or Is it okay if we get the general idea of what the concepts are about?
Too much detail.. it's almost impossible.

I think it's also quite absurd that there isn't a single TA monitoring the discussion board to answer questions, nor have there been any extra office hours ahead of the exam :/

i don't have the textbook so i cant study from it am i missing on lots of information?

didnt read mine last year and was fine

we should post this on the discussion board on avenue so our prof does something about it!

got a 12 in this course and never used the textbook. Its simple memorization-type multiple choice from the lecture notes.

Sycoman,
The course is different now, covering more than the lecture notes, and having more slides than previous years.

oh nvm then. Hope it went well
