Hi, I am considering Earth Science 2GG3 next term.

Does anyone know how professor Basik is?

I know Basik is teaching this term so any thoughts about the professor?
How is the course in general?
Is it interesting?
Is it reasonable?

I have this course this term and I like Basik as a prof. He’s really enthusiastic and seems to really enjoy what he’s teaching. He’s Russian I believe and he has an accent, but I can understand him just fine and it’s never been an issue for me.


The course is really easy. The midterm was very easy so I think he'll make the exam harder. I find the material okay; some parts are more interesting than others. The workload is really light compared to any of my other classes and I’m really glad I took it as an elective.

I was thinking of taking this course as an elective for 2nd semester and I was just wondering if the textbook is useful at all?

Thanks!

i think my friends finished the midterm and exam in 5 minutes each.

I read it a bit at the beginning but then stopped because I found the course so easy. Ended up finishing with a 12.

Easiest course since elementary.

Oh and found the pdf for free online as well.

Does the prof post complete powerpoint slides for the course. Did you attend all of the classes or you still did well without going ?

Pdfs of the powerpoints were posted online, with pretty much all the information. And I attended most of the classes before the first midterm.

After that, maybe just a handful of classes.

Ooh I see. Were his midterms all MC or a combination of MC and short answer/essays?
