Tufts University: BIO010 - PLANTS & HUMANITY - Biology - Professor ratings, reviews and much more | JumboAccessReview:
AVOID BIO 10 at all costs. The class is a complete waste of time for both majors and non- majors, and Prof. Ellmore does not care about his students or how they do on exams or anything other than how some obscure plant group relates to whatever he decides to relate it to. This class and teacher frustrated me beyond belief and ruined my GPA.
Workload:
Theres no reading and no homework, and no textbook to study from, which makes the 3 tests very difficult. You have to go to every class, but even if you do go, be prepared to have no idea what to focus on for exams

Tufts University: BIO010 - PLANTS & HUMANITY - Biology - Professor ratings, reviews and much more | JumboAccessReview:
Ellmore is certainly entertaining, and everyone else is right: he makes plants interesting. But, he could care less about students' progress and gives extremely difficult tests and grades them unfairly. If you are a non-science major looking for an easy science class, avoid this one.
Workload:
No work until the exams, and there are three of them. Studying for them is based entirely on lecture notes, but don't spend too much time on it: I studied 20 hours and got the same grades as people who studied the night before for a few hours...
