Students will be introduced to basic computing and data management, manipulation, and visualization using examples from environmental studies. Students will conduct hands-on exercises in class using current data science tools. No background in computing or coding is required, and new learners of both skills are especially welcome. Basic understanding of biological and environmental concepts would provide necessary context for class exercises.

CollegeShe was extremely passionate about these topics. Her grading system was qualitative, which requires a lot of effort to get passing grades. My suggestions are to go into office hours especially TAs, ask questions, revise your assignments, and be ready to put in lots of hours to this class.
An is a great professor and explains concepts very clearly! There are many options for assignment extensions and revisions (using a token system that is based on attendance). The workload gets quite intense, especially if you have to revise previous assignments on top of the new ones. Very clear grading system.
Great teacher but super unreasonable grading.
