EVSC 2050

This class is fairly interesting although some of the material is a little dry. Definitely go to lectures, and make note of everything Professor Macko says, because it's hard to tell what might show up on the test. Professor Macko is a little odd but he is a nice, funny guy.

Macko is really enthusiastic and relatively interesting. It's a good class and if all you did was read the text you could get an A.

This class is NOT the type of class that you're going to want to take if you're just looking for an easy science credit. I am writing this as a bitter student nonetheless, but the labs are just stupid...way too much work and the TAs take unfair fractions of points off for minimal error. Macko's lectures are hard to follow and he ends up rambling. The tests ask for the most minute and unimportant facts. STEER CLEAR!

Macko is a terribly boring lecturer and going to class every Tuesday and Thursday was the thing I dreaded most about 2nd year.

Macko is a horrible lecturer and I wish I hadn't taken this class

Since I was already interested in the topic, this made the class a lot better, and I think I enjoyed it more than most people in my class. The reading wasn't great, but the class wasn't too demanding, and it's good for anyone trying to fulfill a science requirement or who wants to learn more about the subject. And Macko's endearingly crazy.

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME
Labs are optional; they just give you the answers. Macko is a riot. You learn a ton.
Study hard, but tests are pretty straightforward

Don't waste your time going to lectures. He'll send a sheet of "key terms" for tests. Go through the book and make sure you can define all of them. You'll do very well.

Very boring lectures that have nothing to do with the tests. You should read the chapters, going to lecture is not necessary. Lab reports are hard unless you go to a discussion and they give you all the answers. I got mostly C's and D's on all of the midterms, and 95's and 100's on the lab reports and got a B in the class. He curves as well

This class is awesome. I stopped going to lecture because it wasnt necessary but started again because i realized how much fun and how interesting the class was. Macko has some real incredible experiences to talk about. I never read and just crushed the reading the day before the tests and did great in the class. he also lets you drop one of four exams which includes the final. definitely take it.
