CollegeAlex is a great prof! Lectures are engaging and he is passionate about ocean topics! Easy online quizzes each week, and cheat sheets for every test including final. Watch out for the midterms, they were easy with a cheat sheet but I still wasn't able to get a 100 on any of them, some concepts you have to really engage with to succeed.
Alex is a great professor! Very enthusiastic to teach and knows what he's lecturing on. He assigned weekly mcq quizzes that are probably less than 15 questions. The lecture was easy to understand. He had 2 midterms and one final, all mcq. Workload was light. Also offered extra credit and cheat sheets for the exam.
Really awesome professor! Lectures were very interesting and he was always open to answer student's questions and ensure they understood the material. He allowed a cheat sheet during tests and the exams were multiple choice. Awesome class!
Super chill class, lectures were actually interesting and engaging.
wrobel is one of the best profs i've had here so far. lectures were easy to understand and he takes questions during lecture. the work consisted of a weekly comprehension quiz (8-10 questions) that was take home and worksheets during sec each week, which covered material not included in lecture so it could be difficult at times but still doable
Really good lecturer, he makes an effort to make the content relevant and interesting. Labs were mandatory and worth 10% overall, lectures weren't. Midterm and final are mcqs and make up 75% of total grade, they weren't that hard but you definitely had to study to be getting 90%+. Overall interesting course and can do well without too much effort.
