6. Ten years from now I'll probably remember this course most by ...
Camilo's enthusiasm and encouragement of class participation. Learning to speak up for what you believe in.
The class I had to do the fieldwork project on snails and the most challenging course I took the first semester back after a three year break from school.
So many factors account for biodiversity
The hike he went with us to do our field study
discussions
The group presentations along with Camilo's method of instruction.
the concepts which Dr. Mora repeatedly informed us on.
I can remember this course because Mora is very passionate in getting the material across about biodiversity and geography. He makes sure the class participates by asking people about the last class and about the present lecture. overall i enjoyed the class, and will remember the information given. I will remember biodiversity of plants and animals based on abundance, body size, and learned about evolutionary processes.
The patterns of species richness, abundance, and body size. The students I worked with for a group project. This was one of my favorite courses in college.
camilos great presentations. dispersal patterns and processes. camilos enthusiasm for his topics
The implications and examples we learned that are relevant to real life situations.
The unique thought provoking final exam.
your passion. Dr. Mora is incredibly involved and deeply passionate which exudes to the students.

24. My overall evaluation of this instructor is....
Amazing professor who was born to inspire students! His enthusiasm is rare and refreshing. His style and methods are fresh and effective. Will take every class he teaches!
Professor Mora is passionate about science and is always willing to help students.
Excellent! This professor structures the whole class around participation. He has a knack for getting students engaged and thinking critically. This man needs an award! He assigned a group project and he went and helped with collecting field data with every group over the period of the whole course. I have never seen that level of involvement before. He sacrificed a lot of his own time for that, I really appreciate the enthusiasm.
A good professor that knows what he's talking about, but his accent makes it very hard to understand.
Outstanding. Camilo is a true subject matter expert in his field, and it shows in each of his classes. Instead of reading bullets word for word off of a Powerpoint presentation, Camilo uses the slides to reinforce the material he is verbally presenting. Camilo is very professional and I thoroughly enjoyed his method of teaching.
Very enthusiastic and captivating
Good if not better. I had a difficult time at first with the teaching style, but I think the way I've grasped the patterns and process concepts just came together in the Final. Maybe I'd prefer to have more mastery of it all, but a good grasp feels inwardly good. I was very skeptical, but I think your section of the course will probably retain itself in my brain longer.
great professor. enthusiastic, knowledgeable, friendly
very willing to help students outside of class and put a lot of his personal time into helping us
Great teacher. Extremely passionate about biogeography & very fair in grading. A bit intimidating, but friendly, straightforward, & has a good sense of humor.
Passionate with an engaging approach to teaching. He understands that education specifically the way students are exposed to information needs to adapt to our modern time to increase academic literacy.

26. Other comments:
The power point presentations were structured to stimulate critical thinking, very well done. It appears a lot of time went into structuring this course.
Sometimes I had difficulty following the presentation, but now I think it has to do with the fact that there was so much material being covered in one lecture per week.
best class i took this semester
Thanks!
Two completely different instructors with different teaching styles, expectations, etc was a little difficult for it was not consistent across both halves

We did our best considering the time frame. I think this would have been a different class if it were held on a Tuesday at the same time. I think in the beginning of the semester students should have picked a week to present and prepared a presentation including background material. This would have added some organization. All in in all it was a good class and I learned quite a bit. Good Job! Thanks for making grad school productive and fun at the same time.
Must recommend this for future grad students, not only Geography, but any science or social science department on campus. The time of day of the course was at first frustrating to be on a Friday, late afternoon, but quickly turend ot to be the most favorite part of my week. I will miss the discussions and colleagues met through this course.

Biodiversity is unique and diverse Biodiversity is being loss on all levels due to overexploitation, habitat loss, climate change, and overpopulation. Most if not all current solutions are not working.
The motivation it gave me to think there might be a possibility for change, or at least increased awareness of climate change and biodiversity loss.
The course that changed the way I live.
Definitely one of the best classes I have taken in college. I learned so much from this class without doing busy work. Made me much more interested in this topic and got me excited for my major.
Realizing how big of a problem overpopulation is, and the importance of supporting birth control/family planning
the impending doom of the world that was ingrained into my head
His Columbian accident, and the final environmental awareness TV commercials assigned during the semester.
Having the skills to discuss and argue topics relating to biodiversity loss
how bad things are
The enthusiastic professor
The amount of effort Mora put into each lecture. From the first day, all the way through, he showed us his passion for the environment and global biodiversity. He truly cared about what we students would be taking from the class. For me, I know this class will have lasting effects. I honetly wish I had more professors like Camilo Mora.
I will remember the course because of Camilo's interesting sense of humor. I will also remember what we talked about the last week: that biodiversity is unique, that we are losing it, possibly forever, and that nothing we are doing to help seems to work.
seeing a map of the earth, but with much less life on it.
Knowing the importance of biodiversity and how it is lost by human activities.
How to properly present ideas and concepts through the use of powerpoint. How to conceptualize problems and the different perspectives on how to solve them. I learned four main concepts: 1) Biodiversity and its Value 2) biodiversity trends 3) Causes of biodiversity 4) Solutions to biodiversity loss. In 2012, you mentioned "we are fucked!" By 2022, I hope we are not saying this same thing.
looking at population levels, resource use, and education of morals.
- that this course serves as great example that it more important to learn about general ideas and concept of a course and be able to explain them in the long term instead of cramping all the information you had covered through out the semester for the final exam and than just remember a fraction of that information following the exam. We live in the information age society, where its easy to look up the information you need any time. Exams should be something from yesterday. Developing critical thinking skills and learning on how to write good papers and do creative projects is far more important. - contents, ideas and concepts of the course should be cloned and be taught to people all over the world. Perhaps this would bring the breakthrough to get the much needed change and stop man-kind from turning the earth into planet hell!
Camilo's extreme passion and enthusiasm, it was infectious.

Outstanding Course!
Very enthusiastic and engaging professor who is actually concerned about making a difference and educating people.
Great I love his style of teaching he makes a class more about learning the material through group discussion and projects. Making sure people take something away from the class is his main goal.
Nothing but good things to say about him. He truly understands the reasons for an education rather than just making his students earn a grade, they actually learn. He is an amazing teacher.
Great teacher, very enthusiastic and kept class exciting and interesting
Being a new teacher at the University, Camilo was well prepared weekly with class discussions and he kept the class engaged with work students of all majors especially environmental majors.
Very knowledgable and enthusiastic professor, very helpful as well
great teacher, loved his style of teaching, very up-to-date with information and research, intriguing stories
He is original and eccentric in his teaching. His true passion for the subject really shines through and makes the class excited about it too. Excellent, excellent teacher.
He set the example of how all professors should be. He was completely passionate and knowledgeable.
He is an excellent professor! That's all I have to say
He is one of the most excellent professors I've had. He does not fall back on paperwork like so many others do. He puts in more effort towards presenting the class with information in a way that it will stick with them.
Great professor whose teaching style is much better than the traditional teaching methods.
excellent. Some things could have been more organized during class, but everything turned out well.
Great Teacher! Stimulates students to create great discussion and think outside the box. Very much an innovator and an honor to learn from him.
- that Camilo is passioned professor and researcher - is very knowledgeable in the field of environmental geopgraphy - very creative in his research methods - is an excellent fit as a professor for this course - Camilo sets a great a great example of teaching attitude that other professors should follow
He was a great teacher who clearly loves inspiring his students and getting to think. The class was more about pariticipation and group discussion than anything else which bonded us together and really got us thinking about problems and solutions. I gained more from this class than many others that follow the regular outdated teaching format of lecture, notes, papers, then exams. The environment was welcoming and stress free and Camilo's clear passion made us all WANT to come to class just to be a part of the discussion. Some people were just made to teach and Camilo is one of them.

24. Other comments:
Overall good class I wish I could take more classes like this one.
I would totally recommend this class to other students looking for a good challenge.
I love the structure of his class. It maintains a very relaxed and slightly less formal atmosphere which is so much different than any other course I have ever taken. I would strongly recommend Camilo's classes to any of my friends, whether they are geography majors or not.
Number 14, "Camilo Mora maintains an atmosphere of good feeling in class" should not be applied to this course. The lessons Camilo must teach are heavy in content, as we are learning about the loss of biodiversity and how it applies to our own well being. Feeling good after hearing about the end to life is no good. It would indicate that we've missed the point of the lecture.
Great course!
I really enjoyed your class. I would definitely take another class of yours.
Wonderful course!
