There's quite a bit of reading for this class, but I found it pretty interesting. You have to remember a lot of particular details for the exams that you might not have thought were important, but it's not impossible.

This is a difficult class. If you're interested in the topic don't shy away, but don't be fooled by the 200-level label. She teaches the material well and accurately, and expects you to remember details from lectures as well as keep up with an unusually large level of reading. Definitely learned a lot, and worked a lot.

Be ready to read more each week than you ever have in your entire life. I would recommend this class to anyone who is HEAVILY interested in environmental science. If you're not, DON'T TAKE IT! The teacher is good and the material is interesting but the class is by no means easy. My TA was awesome though and it is definitely possible to handle the workload if you have a passion for the subject.
