She uses iClickers to take attendance, so you might want to go to class. The class is named Dinosaurs, but we don't learn much about them until the end. The class isn't too hard, but the tests can be a bit tricky. She's nice and offers study sessions before midterm/final.
I usually hate science classes, but this was more of an easy memorization class. She made the lectures very interesting. I actually enjoyed the labs.
Can't believe how much I enjoyed this class! Made me interested in Earth Science. Professor Porter is really nice and I felt comfortable attending her office hours. She really explains things well, just focus on memorization, lab work and showing up for iClicker points. Labs are really fun and easy. Definitely the best GenEd class ever.
The class is difficult but if you grind you should be fine. Lecture is boring though.
