Student evaluation link
Hmmm - what's your point here?? An overwhelmingly positive evaluation:
This was the most fulfilling class I have had in UT yet. They should make it mandatory!
This has been my best biology professor during my time thus far. He really portays his love for the material, while really teaching with conviction.
I really enjoyed the Eco-Poetry and your perspective on ecology and biology in general. Every Biology and even non-Biology major should take this class.
Dr. Pianka -- Passionate, articulate, inspiring, and imaginative. Nice to take a course from such a prominent scientist and come away with better understanding.
I didn't ever want the last day of class to come. This course has been more valuable to my education and to my life in general than probably any other class at UT. The passion with which Pianka teaches is inspiring. As a keeper at the Austin Zoo/Animal Sanctuary, this course has given me a new outlook and greater respect towards the environment that I help to foster there. I never skipped class, knowing if I did I might miss something fascinating. Thank you, Dr. Pianka, for finally opening my eyes and mind to the world I live in.
The guy sounds like a crazed monster, all right.
