Hard-ish exams but if you put in the work, you are good! As long as you pay attention and attend class then you will learn a lot and get a fair grade. Great professor.BIOL2311 2026-01-12 16:57:40 +0000 UTC
By far the best professor I have had at Northeastern. Really impressive guy.BIOL311 2026-01-12 16:55:49 +0000 UTC
I was very impressed by his knowledge and passion for the subject matter. He is a very inspiraitonal guy and is not robotic and weird like a lot of professors out there. GOAT professor in my opinion.ECO1213 2026-01-12 16:53:34 +0000 UTC
Of all of the professors I have taken for these types of course he is my favorite. He is engaging, lively and relatable and I appreciate that about his teaching style. I think the people who have bad things to say are probably not great students and lack work ethic/desire to learn. Definitely take this class if you are willing to put in the work!!!BIO311 2026-01-12 16:52:05 +0000 UTC
Excellent professor back when I took his class! Hard but fair exams.ECOLOGY 2025-12-19 02:28:38 +0000 UTC
Absolutely the best professor at NU!BIOU311 2008-10-20 19:31:46 +0000 UTC
If you are not interested in ecology and snails and this class is not required don't take it. Lab is a waste of time. Sit in the front of class and be active you tend to get a better grade that way.ECOBIO 2008-01-30 10:52:18 +0000 UTC
he's awesome.EXPDESIGN 2005-11-10 15:13:13 +0000 UTC
I loved this class and learned so much. If you are genuinely interested in this course and are willing to put in basic hard work, you will really enjoy his teaching style and passion for the topics he covers in class. Highly recommend!!!BIOL2311 2026-01-12 16:54:59 +0000 UTC
Brilliant professor that makes the class fun. Exams can be hard but are fair. Truly wants students to learn and is always willing to make the extra effort with more difficult topics. One of Northeastern's best!BIOL311 2013-01-30 22:14:29 +0000 UTC

the best!!!!!BIO311 2007-11-30 20:05:49 +0000 UTC
I took Prof. Trussell's class a few years ago. He did not seem to care much about the content. He also would often come to class late. Ecology could be such an interesting subject but he is a terrible lecturer and made the subject so boring. He doesn't explain things well and is condescending to his students. His class was a waste of time and $.ECOLOGY 2025-11-13 22:44:14 +0000 UTC
professor is really really hot, so totally worth coming to class at 9am. really encouraging about the topic at hand (ecology, sort of boring if you don't care for the environment)awesome professor. pretty hard tests involve mostly long essays.BIOU311 2004-12-27 17:00:49 +0000 UTC
