This course is nearly impossible to do well in.

Ben's ecology lectures were actually fairly interesting to listen to. The issue was he didn't follow the textbook, and often times referenced his own research instead of more suited examples. The tests are RIDICULOUSLY hard. They don't test your knowledge of the main idea or even key concepts, its entirely multiple choice of the most random overly-specific examples, that were mentioned once in the whole course.
