I took EEB 110 with this professor and I have to say this is one of the best courses I've taken here at UCLA. Dr. Van Valkenburgh is an expert in functional morphology and an amazing lecturer. If you're looking for an easy A, EEB 110 is definitely NOT what you're looking for. You have to take two lab practicals and three lecture exams (one of them final, but none of them is cumulative) for this course. You have a 5-hour lab every week and that could be kind of painful. The lab practicals take forever to study for because it's a lot of memorization, while the lecture exams are more about concepts. I really like how the lecture and lab materials come together and help you understand the concepts better. I'm usually not the kind of person who takes a class because it's "rewarding," but this course is definitely worth the time. I had Patrick Green as my TA and he's always very helpful & he knows exactly what he's talking about; I'm sure it's the same for other TA's. If you're a bio major looking to fulfill upper division requirements, definitely sign up for this class.
