Hores

2 or less hrs/week

interesting content, but the class is only 3 30-question MC exams so you have very little room to fail. lectures were somewhat disorganized and some of the test questions felt pretty random.

Dr. Hores is one of the kindest professors I have worked with at WashU. She takes time to prepare course materials and is knowledgeable, but the content was a bit dull at times. The grading standards were very reasonable, and most students landed in the A range if they put effort into their work.

Easy class to fulfill artsci requirements. Attendance graded lectures. The tests are just memorizing terms

Very funny and personable, just pay attention to lectures and you'll do fine.

Incredibly boring. Reads off the slides. Takes forever to speak. Always says "you know". Avoid classes with her at all costs

Her love for primatology is somewhat permeating. Her love for the material kinda makes you want to learn about them yourself. If you treat the class as one large connected story tracing the evolution of humans, it'll be easier.

I really liked this class and Dr. Hores. The content was interesting and I think Hores did a great job showing her passion for it. There is a lot of memorization though, and the slides can be very disorganized, with ideas sort of mismatched together.

While Rose is a great professor there is little motivating you to attend lectures. Lectures are heavily slides based and the slides are posted. There are only 3 MC exams the entire semester . Tons of memorization (species names, dates etc.) some MC questions can be extremely specific. If memorization isn't your jam prepare for a lot of work.

Graded on three exams. Exams are relatively easy, just need to memorize. There is a textbook, but you aren't required to read it. Posts lecture notes so that you can review them after class. Knows and cares about what she's teaching, lecture can get a little dull sometimes though. Gave everyone a 100% on the exam once due to a grading error.

I really enjoyed taking Evolution of the Human Diet with Dr. Hores. She is a great lecturer and seems to be really passionate about what she is teaching. The class seemed a little bit disorganized at times but if deadlines were changed it was always clear so I really did not mind it that much.
