<p>Is anybody taking ESPM 6 this semester? I'm so confused with this class...is our grade based on just our midterm/final paper? Do most ppl never go to lecture? cuz even when we had to turn in our midterm paper, the room looked so empty.</p>
<p>If its still Chapela teaching, then yes to all of your questions except the first one since I took it two years ago.</p>
<p>yup. chapela is teaching. thanks so much! 
did u spend a lot of time of ur papers? honestly, at this point i feel like this class is pointless and useless and a waste of my time haha.</p>
<p>Haha, yep i took this 1st sem of my freshman year and boy was it a waste. so hard to go in the morning - unfortunately so though because he does sometimes have interesting things to say, it’s just the class is run terribly for having such an official title as “evolutionary biology”. you write 2 papers on whatever you want, and as long as your grade goes up between the 1st and second you’ll get an A.</p>
