You can tell he's really interested in what he teaches. The class can be boring sometimes but it's not his fault, it's the material. He tries to make things less dull by showing interesting videos. He is very helpful and will make sure you understand something when you ask him. His tests were hard but he is so genuinely nice and very handsome.

Pretty funny professor! I also enjoy those little animations he presents in the slides too. His exams are fair but you need to attend lectures or listen to his recordings and pay attention to what he points out. The only negative is that it can be a little difficult to understand him because he's french.

Found him disorganized with regards to covering course content, he seemed to brush over many of the important topics and focus a lot on some very obscure details. Also tended to go on long tangents. We ended up spending 6 lectures on one chapter and completely skipping a few others that should have been covered.

He is a good professor and knows his stuff. My issue is more with the course than it is with the professor. The course is way out of my field of interest and I don't like it. However, one benefit of this course is learning how to read scientific articles and research papers. Similarly to chemistry, it is conceptual based so study hard.

Actually convinced these profs are rating themselves cause I don't get why anyone thinks he's a great (probably cause everyones a first year and haven't had any better profs for comparison). 5% of ur grade are these bs worksheets he randomly hands out as an "incentive" for students to go to class. Maybe we wouldn't need one if you were an enjoyable

Nice and interesting class, Dr. Bulte made our grade very easy to get high. Test can all be shifted if the test were lower than exam. Also very polite and helpful. PS: also a tall and handsome man

Labs are overkill of small useless assignments but not his fault. lectures are ok as long as you don't mind a French accent. He's not easy to reach outside of class and would discuss test mistakes.

Great prof! He's a great lecturer and I would 100% take him again for future bio courses. Just make sure you're showing up to every lecture and taking notes on what he's saying. The tests are online which is nice but don't slack off because of that. You'll get a great mark if you actually study. The labs are also very easy.

I feel like I would have enjoyed this class way more if it was an in person class. His quizzes are all about specific examples mentioned in lectures, rather than the concepts & understanding of them, so you really have to know all kinds of different animals and their specifics. 3 tests worth 15%, weekly quizzes, and the final is 50%.

funny guy! His lectures are really funny and he just seems like a cool dude. I don't really like the way he styles some of his questions.He's expecting you to memorize some random species he mentioned ONCE in a lecture vid.. But overall a pretty good prof, but I personally found the class kinda difficult.

The course is fascinating, plus the grading was very fair. Make sure to take some time to study for the group quiz before coming to class. Presentations are group work and really manageable. Definitely 5 out of 5, and will take courses in the future with Dr. Bulte

with all due disrespect,this prof doesnt fear god.First of all his course is so boring,pointless,and actually hard to memorize 1000 animals.Beleive me nobody takes this course because he/sheis interested in it,they take it for the credit but changing the final from online to in person emphasises the fact that this man and his team works with iblees

He provides various study material (optional quizzes, or drag into the box, to test yourself). For the exam, he provided multiple quizzes to test yourself on the material covered. Lectures are long and have tons of details, so you have to pay attention. Just take notes + stay on top of lectures to do well. The exam requires memorization though.

Tests rely heavily on memorizing specific examples, often species barely covered in lecture. Lectures focus too much on examples and not enough on core biological concepts. As a result, understanding is secondary to memorization, which weakens this course as an intro to natural history. Wouldn't recommend.
