I took this course two years ago I believe, but it was taught by a phd student. She was very nice but she used notes that a professor created for her and I found it to be very unorganized. The course itself was very dry and was not really what I expected. There were many many formulas and although the math is simple the formulas themselves were a bit confusing. I think you have to be really interested in the topic to enjoy this class.
The labs were very time consuming. The average of the first midterm was low but it went up for the second. I personally thought it was difficult in comparison to other second year courses I have taken (at least for an enviro class)
Hopefully this professor is better. It definitely makes a difference. Be sure to go to class though, if its anything like it was when I took it a lot of information is added to the slides. If you study and put effort into the labs you will do well!
