Pros: Great guy
No homework
Easy quizzes
If you need an elective, take this course. Espelie is a cool guy and everyday he wears a tshirt with a picture of what you'll be learning about that day. I have no interest in bugs or anything but he makes the class interesting. You watch A LOT of videos. There are 14 pop quizzes but they are only 5 questions each and are open note, and are only over what you went over that day. I made a 100 on every single one. As long as you're in class they're nothing to worry about. The tests are pretty easy too. If you show up for the quizzes and go over the material for the tests then this class should be a pretty easy A.

Pros: Easy Quizzes. He Tells you what is on the exams and what to study. Encourages using old tests.
Cons: No elc. Doesn't post notes online obviously if no ELC.
Dr. Espelie is probably the most self less professor you will ever encounter at UGA. He is extremely approachable and willing to advise you in what courses to take even if you aren't supposed to be advised by him. He genuinely cares about his students. Take him for an easy A and the opportunity to study under such an awesome professor!

Pros: Quizzes are open-note, he tells you what is on the tests, very interesting, not too many notes.
Cons: A couple questions on the final were unexpected, but not impossible.
Extremely interesting professor who obviously loves the subject. Enthusiastic and uses great visual aids including live specimens. Quizzes and tests are for the most part easy. 17 unannounced, 5-question quizzes that cover what was taught that day and are open-note. Great class!

Pros: Shows lots of videos in class. Tells you what will be on the exams. He has a wry sense of humor, which I enjoyed.
Cons: Class is nothing special. Come to class to take notes and take pop quizzes(17 total) as a way of attendance.
He like to show many videos, some of which aren't all that relevant. This wasn't always such a bad thing though. Class is easy, most people make As. He doesn't care if you're on your laptop doing whatever.

Pros: Espelie is really fun and makes the material interesting. We always watch videos that correspond to our lectures. There are two tests and a final and 14 random quizzes (open note).
Cons: There are 14 quizzes are random so you need to attend often. Two get dropped though, so there is some leeway.

Cons: No cons. Good choice for an elective.
