CollegeProfessor Froehlich was great! If you're interested in fisheries, definitely take this class. The material is useful and challenging, but the effort is worth it. Section was fun and engaging, making it a valuable experience overall.
50% of the grade is determined by biweekly quizzes that I found way too hard & hard to finish in given time. Your final (30%) is a group project which was easy but randomly assigned group, so it might be the worst final of your life. Mandatory lecture attendance (she took exact iClicker score, no excused) and difficult section readings/grading.
Froehlich is probably the worst professor I've had in the Environmental Studies department. She isn't very flexible and never accepts late assignments. The course is dense with niche material and half of your grade is based on bi-weekly quizzes (which are unnecessarily hard). If you're looking to complete your ES UD Area A, TAKE SOMETHING ELSE!!!!
Nick is so chill, but to go to lectures. I thought it was such an interesting class and i really enjoyed it but theres a lot of physics involved so be ready for equations. also go to office hours his lab is sick and theres dogs running around
Prof. Froehlich is very knowledgeable about the material and is a great lecturer. Her slides don't contain many words, so taking good notes is essential. Weekly quizzes are very hard. No final, rather a final group project that was quite straightforward. Attendance is mandatory. Overall a very interesting and straightforward course.
Nick genuinely wants you to learn the class material. The math is very hard and the class exercises are too. However, he is a very lenient grader and his grading system is set up for you to succeed. you can fail the final and still pass the class. Show up to class, he knows who is putting in effort and knows who doesn't. He's also a such a cutie ;)
