The workload was reasonable and a lot of insightful information was presented. Going to lecture is very important as Dr. Valenta relays information that may not always be present on the slides.

This course is about evolutionary human biology (basic osteology), primate ecology & traits, and the evolution of humans and other hominins.

Dr. Valenta is very passionate about the subject and is very insightful. She does not expect one to remember every little detail but wants to get the main points across.

Go to every lecture and pay attention. Participate in the labs as best as you can and go to office hours.

Very good! The TA for the Lab was awesome, Dr. Valenta was awesome. Be sure to go to class if you have Dr. Valenta, she gives more material to help on the test than what is on the slides alone. DO NOT SKIP CLASS!

The content of the class is about basic evolutionary biology, basic primate ecology and primate groups, and finally about the evolution of humans as a species.

The professor was great, very nice and explained things very well. The only con is you have to attend class to get all of the information you need for exams, but other than that you don't have to read the textbook.
