He's so cutesy, he provides everything you need. He uploads both the individual slides and recordings. Section attendance is mandatory. There is a weekly assignment which are easy to do, the answers are easily found in the slides. There were 1-2 midterms, a couple quizzes, a final, and a presentation.

EARTH20 . Li G 8 Months Ago

Very easy class if you just watch the weekly lectures (~1.5-2hrs) and do the worksheets. Online quizzes, midterm, and final, which are open-note and straight from the lectures. There's also a presentation which was pretty easy. Highly recommend this class.

EARTH20 . Li G 8 Months Ago

Extremely easy course with weekly worksheets that were taken from lecture/slides. Midterm and Final were both very easy and open notes and professor was very knowledgeable about the subject. Course is a very easy A as long as you do the worksheets and attend sections for review. The final project and 2 quizzes were also very easy.
