EVSC 4050

Good overview

Professor Macko is a nice guy. I learned a lot of interesting facts in lecture but I skipped if I had another assignment due that need to get finished since nearly nothing he said in class showed up on the tests. If anything, read the book carefully and hope for the best!

Taught as 215, 415, and 515 all at once. He's a very old fashioned lecturer, with overheads instead of PowerPoint, and he doesn't really understand toolkit. You have to go to class- the little facts that he mentions tend to show up on exams. A good class for Ed-schoolers- get a grad level class out of the way by taking 515- it's the same lectures/tests as 215, with a few extra (easy) assignments, like writing a lesson plan.

Prof. Macko is very enthusiastic about what he's teaching. He's awesome and very funny.
For the class, if you go classes and do readings, you will do great on exams.
I really recommend him.

Really fun and pretty easy. My only disappointment is that we didn't spend very much time on the biological aspects of oceans.

Macko is a good lecturer who is pretty enthusiastic about the topic. The labs for the class are a bunch of busy work and kind of difficult, but the rest of the class is fine. Macko lets off many people from the waitlist at the start of the semester, but even then the classroom isnt always full because many people dont go to class. There are 4 50 question multiple choice tests. Definitely recommended if you want an easy 4000 level class (its the same as the 2050 section)

Macko is a good lecturer and loves to get the students involved, which keeps it entertaining. The material is pretty interesting though. The 4050 section is the same as the 2050 section except for 4-5 extra labs (which are busy work and not the most fun, but doable) and then a 7-10 page paper on a topic of your choice. Definitely recommend taking this class for an EVSC elective.

You don't really have to do the reading super closely and the homework assignments don't take too long. Tests aren't too difficult, they just tend to be very specific (50 multiple choice questions tests--2 -3 a semester). Macko, overall, is a pretty good professor. He tends to go on tangents and tells lots of stories, but he teaches well and is pretty interesting.

easy class if you're looking for one - macko himself is not a pleasant person if you have to interact with him individually, rarely stays on topic, would rather talk about himself than teach

This class is basically 3 50 question midterms, 100 question final, a research paper, and several labs. The labs are not terribly difficult, but can take a while. He scales the grades up on the tests. I would reccomend this class, but beware that Macko's lectures can get a little boring when he goes off topic (which happens pretty frequently). #‎tcf2016‬
