Moderately easy, some memorization involved.

Interesting? Enhhhh... enh.

I only took it because it's required for my program.

Is there a lot of work required to get a 12?
What does the course consist of?
Thanks again

Getting a 12 would be difficult and require a fair bit of work. The class is fairly interesting but as Phil said it requires a fair bit of memorization and some background knowledge.

In my experience I thought there was a fair bit of math involved (most of the labs have at least one calculation) and as everyone else mentioned some memorization. You learn a lot about how to measure flow events, runoff, water storage, base flow, etc. I thought the labs were the hardest part, and they took a decent amount of time to understand and complete. Geo 2WW3 is also on water resources, but is much more memorization and general since it isn't a science course and math isnt a prereq.
